Episode 131 of Wrestling Tonight dives into one of the most consequential weeks in professional wrestling, where spectacle met scandal and history was made on multiple fronts. At the center of it all was WWE's Night of Champions, an event clouded in geopolitical controversy and marked by dramatic in-ring developments. Headlining the show was John Cena, who emerged from his clash with CM Punk still Undisputed WWE Champion after a chaotic main event that seemed designed to frustrate rather than resolve. Punk's return to Saudi Arabia, after years of public criticism of the regime, added a complex emotional layer to the match—only to be further muddled by a murky finish and post-match taunting from Seth Rollins, who now looms large as a wild card with the Money in the Bank briefcase and Paul Heyman at his side. Elsewhere on the card, Cody Rhodes captured the King of the Ring crown in a ceremonial victory over Randy Orton, a bout more notable for its symbolism than its drama. Jade Cargill's Queen of the Ring triumph over Asuka was a visual spectacle but highlighted the steep learning curve she still faces. Sami Zayn, returning to Saudi Arabia for only the second time, scored an emotional victory over Karrion Kross in a moment that resonated deeply with the live crowd. The U.S. Title scene saw more chaos than clarity, with Solo Sikoa toppling Jacob Fatu in a match heavy on interference and light on clean resolution. WWE rounded out the event with a formal announcement: the 2026 Royal Rumble will be held in Riyadh, solidifying its long-term partnership with the Kingdom in a move that continues to stir debate about the company's global priorities and moral compass. Across the wrestling landscape, AEW is preparing for a record-setting night of its own as All In: Texas—set for July 12 at Globe Life Field—has already surpassed $2.5 million in gate revenue with over 19,000 paid tickets sold, becoming the most-attended non-WWE wrestling event in North American history. The event has begun to take shape with Mark Briscoe and Kris Statlander securing the first slots in their respective Casino Gauntlet matches, while JetSpeed—Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight—earned a title shot against The Hurt Syndicate after a fiery win on Dynamite. Their celebration was short-lived, as Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, flanked by MVP and MJF, launched a brutal assault that left both challengers laid out, punctuating their dominance with a table-shattering finale. Back in NXT, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo claimed the Heritage Cup in dramatic and controversial fashion, as interference from Luca Crusifino backfired, fracturing the D'Angelo Family and casting doubt over loyalties. Injuries continue to plague WWE's roster, with Liv Morgan undergoing shoulder surgery and Chad Gable reportedly sidelined following an on-screen arm-break angle with Penta. Gable is set for surgery in early July and may miss several months of action. Meanwhile, Keith Lee took to social media to reassure fans his prolonged AEW absence is not health-related but rather out of his hands, a quiet critique of creative stasis. ROH and CMLL's Global Wars event delivered one of the year's most stirring cards, headlined by Bandido's successful ROH World Title defense over Mascara Dorada in a lucha clinic that further cemented his reign. The night also featured the emotional submission victory of Blue Panther over Lee Moriarty, which led to a surprise appearance from Bryan Danielson. Days later, Danielson again shocked fans by returning after AEW Collision in a surprise segment with Max Caster, submitting him in seconds with the LeBell Lock after an assist from Adam Cole. For the night, Danielson aligned with Kyle O'Reilly as “Kyle Danielson,” delighting the Washington crowd with a heartfelt rendition of “The Final Countdown.” Elsewhere in the news, the legal pressure continues to mount for WWE as Janel Grant's legal team filed a sweeping discovery request seeking emails, board minutes, NDA drafts, and internal communications involving Vince McMahon, WWE HR, Linda McMahon, and Dr. Carlton Colker. The move is intended to challenge WWE's push for arbitration, arguing that Grant's allegations of coercion deserve to be scrutinized in open court. MLW found itself in AEW's crosshairs as MJF appeared unannounced at an MLW taping to attack Mistico, further fueling speculation of a storyline—or power play—between the companies. NJPW's G1 tournament suffered a personal setback as Bad Luck Fale withdrew following a loss in the family, opening the door for Satoshi Kojima to face Ryohei Oiwa in the play-in. Meanwhile, Bobby Lashley not only continues his dominance in AEW but has also been announced for a French indie show following Forbidden Door, while teasing a potential MMA return after appearing at a recent BKFC event. In the world of broadcast media, SiriusXM has announced the launch of Pro Wrestling Nation, a 24/7 channel devoted entirely to pro wrestling that will replace Fight Nation. The new station will feature expanded programming including Busted Open Radio, Off the Ropes with Jonathan Coachman, and shows hosted by Natalya and Denise Salcedo. And just across from Madison Square Garden, a new Hulk Hogan-themed bar called Slam is preparing to open its doors, promising fans memorabilia, MSG nostalgia, and a full-circle tribute to one of wrestling's most controversial icons. From Saudi stadiums to Texas megashows, courtroom battles to backstage power moves, Wrestling Tonight continues to bring you the full spectrum of professional wrestling in all its triumphs, contradictions, and unfinished stories.

Escuela de Misterio Tabula Rasa - Día 12: La entradaEn esta Sesión de película, David explora la vida de Jesús, en particular durante los últimos días de su ministerio, tal y como se representa en la serie «Los elegidos.» Destaca el singular enfoque de Jesús en los asuntos espirituales, más que en las preocupaciones terrenales, como la construcción de una iglesia.El comentario de David profundiza en sus enseñanzas sobre el perdón y el Reino de los Cielos, que describe como presente y accesible. El debate incluye reflexiones sobre la Última Cena y la entrada de Jesús en Jerusalén, destacando la tensión entre su mensaje espiritual y las expectativas de la gente, que buscaba un salvador político.También se abordan los temas del sacrificio, los malentendidos en torno a la identidad de Jesús y la llamada universal a recordar nuestra verdadera naturaleza más allá de los temores egoístas. La sesión concluye con una reflexión sobre la relevancia de las enseñanzas de Jesús en la actualidad, ya que llaman a un cambio de percepción hacia el amor y el perdón, trascendiendo el mundo físico.Para más información sobre David Hoffmeister y los eventos de Milagros Vivientes, visite https://www.elcristoenti.com/eventosGrabado en vivo el 16 de junio de 2025, en Casa de Milagros, Chapala, México.

Pełnej wersji podcastu posłuchasz w aplikacji Onet Audio. W najnowszym specjalnym wydaniu podcastu Raport Międzynarodowy gościem Witolda Jurasza jest Łukasz Gadzała, dziennikarz Onetu i autor książki „Zagubiony hegemon. Zmarnowana szansa Ameryki i rewolucja Trumpa”. Według głównej tezy autora Ameryka jest nie tyle zagubiona, ile zwyczajnie ponosi konsekwencje swojej nieroztropnej polityki zagranicznej po zakończeniu zimnej wojny. Przez 35 lat USA podejmowały decyzje dyktowane krótkowzrocznym interesem, ignorując jednocześnie dalekosiężne i potencjalnie bolesne skutki. Być może najdotkliwszym przykładem owej krótkowzroczności była wojna w Iraku uznawana za punkt zwrotny w najnowszej polityce Stanów zjednoczonych - moment przesilenia. Choć militarnie Amerykanie szybko obalili reżim Saddama Husajna, to całkowicie zawiedli na linii budowania stabilnego państwa. Decyzje takie jak rozwiązanie armii irackiej i delegalizacja partii Baas doprowadziły do chaosu i wzrostu siły Iranu w regionie. Interwencja pokazała, że USA przeceniły swoją siłę i zignorowały konsekwencje geopolityczne. Według Łukasza Gadzały Irak był początkiem erozji amerykańskiego przywództwa i jednym z powodów późniejszego sukcesu Donalda Trumpa. Łukasz Gadzała zwraca uwagę, że świat stał się bardziej złożony, a hegemon nie jest w stanie egzekwować porządku w takim stopniu jak niegdyś. Ameryka wciąż pozostaje światową potęgą, ale coraz częściej działa nieodpowiedzialnie, co prowadzi do globalnej destabilizacji. Autor przywołuje ideę koncertu mocarstw jako realistycznego modelu utrzymania równowagi. Krytykuje myślenie o globalnej dominacji jako obowiązku moralnym. Witold Jurasz i Łukasz Gadzała analizują również wpływ neokonserwatystów na politykę USA po 2001 roku. Jaki był ich udział w narodzinach współczesnego populizmu i dojściu Donalda Trumpa do władzy. Tryumf środowiska MAGA jest skutkiem wieloletnich błędów elit – zarówno w polityce zagranicznej, jak i wewnętrznej. Błędy te podsycały od lat przekonanie przeciętnego Amerykanina o byciu porzuconym przez własne państwo. W rozmowie poruszona zostaje również kwestia rozszerzenia NATO i jego wpływu na relacje z Rosją. Gadzała zauważa, że proces zwiększania strefy wpływów Sojuszu Północnoatlantyckiego nie był od początku przesądzony i wywołał realne obawy w Moskwie. Obawy będące doskonałym paliwem dla rosyjskich polityków o neoimperialnych ambicjach. Z punktu widzenia USA rozszerzanie NATO było korzystne ekonomicznie i strategicznie, ale także niosło ryzyko eskalacji napięć z Rosją.

On Episode 130 of Wrestling Tonight, we trace the line between spectacle and volatility as WWE prepares to stage Night of Champions in one of the most geopolitically tense environments the company has ever operated in. The event, set for June 28 in Riyadh, features John Cena vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship—a match built on personal history, philosophical tension, and, now, moral ambiguity. Punk, once the most outspoken critic of WWE's Saudi partnership, now finds himself at the center of it. And while the match is poised to be a classic, the backdrop is far from fiction. Just days ago, the U.S. launched Operation Midnight Hammer, a bombing campaign on Iranian nuclear sites. Iran responded by vowing “everlasting consequences,” placing a target—symbolic or otherwise—on every American in the region. The UK government has issued active travel advisories, commercial flights have diverted around Iranian airspace, and yet, WWE is undeterred. The official statement is measured: “monitoring the situation.” But the unofficial stance is louder: we're going. With the 2026 Royal Rumble scheduled for Saudi Arabia, and WWE's billion-dollar deal with the Kingdom intact, there's little room for second thoughts. We explore the Formula 1 precedent, where missile fire near the circuit didn't stop the show, and how this moment once again pits corporate confidence against real-world caution. Meanwhile, Cena added fuel to the fire with a SmackDown promo that didn't just build the match—it dismantled Punk. Echoing Punk's own iconic Pipe Bomb from 2011, Cena turned the mirror around, calling Punk a hypocrite, “Mr. TKO,” and a man who peaked "seven minutes, fourteen years ago." It was biting, meta, and signaled that this isn't just a title defense—it's an ideological showdown. The rest of the Night of Champions card offers serious implications: Jacob Fatu defends the U.S. Championship against Solo Sikoa in a grudge match born from Bloodline fractures Dominik Mysterio puts the Intercontinental Title on the line against AJ Styles in a collision of lineage and legacy Randy Orton awaits Cody Rhodes or Jey Uso in the King of the Ring Final, with a SummerSlam title shot hanging in the balance Asuka stands tall in the Queen of the Ring Final, but will face either Jade Cargill or Roxanne Perez to earn her crown Beyond the Kingdom, WWE also confirmed a long-rumored farewell: Goldberg's final match will take place July 12 in Atlanta, facing Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. After years of unfinished business and polarizing returns, Goldberg finally goes out on his own terms—with his son Gage by his side. We break down why this match matters, and why it may be the right curtain call. Over in TNA, the Order 4 civil war escalates as Cedric Alexander makes his surprise debut, confronting Mustafa Ali and drawing battle lines inside the most unstable faction in the company. With Jason Hotch re-signing and Skyler caught in the crossfire, TNA quietly continues to tell one of the strongest faction stories in wrestling today. Also in this episode: Stephanie McMahon calls Vince “his own biggest nemesis”, as lawsuits and new ventures define his post-WWE chapter SmackDown returns to two hours starting July 4, ending a brief and polarizing experiment Los Garza win AAA Tag Team gold at Triplemania Regia in their hometown of Monterrey Mercedes Moné wins the CMLL Women's Championship but is ambushed by Toni Storm as their All In collision looms Jon Moxley & AEW sued over an unscripted incident from a 2023 Dynamite taping Tony Khan weighs in on AEW's future amid Warner Bros. Discovery's corporate split Hook confirms his concussion, but says a return is near From Riyadh to Atlanta, TNA's tapings in Pittsburgh to AEW's shifting alliances, this week in wrestling isn't just about matches—it's about how much risk this industry is willing to shoulder in the name of business, legacy, and control.

Did they outsmart themselves with their Yin/Yang Pipebomb callback and actually destroy C.M.
