Welcome to Episode 164 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers. Use code TAVERN for 20 percent off. Acefield Retro and Chad are back, and this week is built around the road to Royal Rumble: Riyadh, while also zooming out to examine how WWE, AEW, TNA, AAA, NJPW, Stardom — and the global wrestling economy itself — are all adjusting direction at the same time. We open with a full preview of Royal Rumble: Riyadh, taking place January 31, 2026 at the King Abdullah Financial District as part of Riyadh Season. This marks the first traditional Royal Rumble ever held outside North America, the first Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, and the first of WWE's "Big Five" events to take place in the Kingdom. We break down why this Rumble matters more than usual, with both the men's and women's winners earning world championship matches at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, the event's return to its traditional January slot, and the shift in distribution with ESPN streaming the Rumble in the U.S. for the first time while Netflix carries most international markets. From there, we dig into what's already locked in for Riyadh: the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches, Drew McIntyre defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against the winner of the Saturday Night's Main Event four-way, and Gunther vs. AJ Styles in a career-threatening match where Styles must retire if he loses. We also run through the early betting odds, where Roman Reigns and Bron Breakker sit at the top of the board, followed by Sami Zayn, Gunther, and Cody Rhodes, and discuss what those numbers tell us about WWE's short-term and long-term thinking. We cover the growing list of announced entrants on both the men's and women's sides and how the field is already beginning to take shape. We then pivot into Saturday Night's Main Event fallout from Montreal, breaking down Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu, AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, the Women's Tag Team Championship defense with Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY against Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez, and the massive four-way number one contender's match featuring Damian Priest, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, and Trick Williams, with the winner stepping directly into McIntyre's title picture at the Royal Rumble. From there, we widen the lens to WrestleMania season planning. We discuss WWE's current reluctance to turn Cody Rhodes heel, how WrestleMania 42 plans remain fluid, and why AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch is shaping up as one of the most locked-in matches on the card. We also look ahead to WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia, with The Rock openly addressing his excitement for the event and internal speculation swirling about possible appearances from Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin as WWE enters its busiest stretch of the year. We then shift fully into the global business of wrestling, as Dave Meltzer reports that Místico has headlined 13 consecutive sellouts at Arena Mexico in 2026, a venue that holds approximately 16,000 fans. Meltzer called the run unprecedented, noting that sustained, high-frequency sellouts in the same building represent a business pattern rarely seen in wrestling history. We contextualize the streak against past drawing eras, the legacy of El Santo, and why comparisons to Japan or North American touring models often miss the structural realities of how wrestling draws actually function. We also discuss the growing push for Místico to capture a major championship currently held by talent from All Elite Wrestling, and what that would signal about CMLL's place in the current power structure. Outside WWE, AEW remains in a moment of transition. We break down Powerhouse Hobbs officially signing with WWE, the company parting ways with longtime executive Nik Sobic, and what those exits say about AEW's current phase. We also cover Will Ospreay's next step toward a return as he undergoes a medical evaluation, Hikaru Shida being backstage in Orlando as she edges closer to U.S. competition, and clarity emerging on AEW's streaming future as reports indicate the promotion is expected to remain aligned with Warner-backed platforms rather than moving to Netflix. TNA continues to operate within a shared ecosystem, as we revisit the fallout from Genesis and Impact's AMC debut amid lingering visa issues, the accidental TNA+ audio leak revealing No Surrender plans, Trey Miguel's emotional return, and the Knockouts Tag Team picture coming into focus with ZaRuca crowned as new number one contenders. We also hit international headlines, including AAA's FOX era officially beginning, Dominik Mysterio's accidental AEW belt graphic during a promo, El Hijo del Vikingo emerging as number one contender for the Mega Championship, NJPW seeing TMDK lose the NEVER Six-Man titles at Korakuen Hall, and Stardom keeping its options open following an alleged intellectual property violation involving trading cards. Episode 164 is a full-scale snapshot of the wrestling industry at a turning point — Royal Rumble season underway, WrestleMania plans coming into focus, media rights shifting, talent moving, and promotions everywhere adjusting direction rather than delivering final outcomes as the calendar heats up.
Kris and David are joined by Dominic Garrini (@dgarrinibc) to discuss the week that was January 16-22, 1997. Topics of discussion include:Royal Rumble '97 at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio, featuring a flu-ridden Shawn Michaels winning the WWF Title from Sycho Sid, a weirdly booked Royal Rumble won by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, lots of AAA wrestlers on the show despite the fans having no idea who they were, and lots more.Raw the next night featuring a very angry Bret Hart as he "quits" before coming back later to attack Austin, as the tone of the company is starting to change more and more.A wild and wooly episode of Shotgun Saturday Night as Terry Funk gets unhinged in a bar in San Antonio, which also features the very first televised match between Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Rocky Maivia.The Triple Crown and AJPW World Tag Team Titles both change hands in a matter of a few days in All Japan.Giant Baba meeting with Atsushi Onita about possibly working together.Mark Kerr making his MMA debut in Brazil.The famous John Lober vs. Frank Shamrock fight in Hawaii.ECW running a TV taping in Scranton that was very newsworthy, plus an update on their upcoming PPV.The Nation of Domination in full effect on Memphis TV, featuring Tracy Smothers as Shaquille Ali and much more, including Jeff Conaway from “Taxi” and “Grease” as Mike Samples' new buddy.Chris Benoit and Kevin Sullivan just beat the hell out of each other on consecutive nights at a record breaking Nitro in Chicago and then the Clash of the Champions special in Milwaukee."Macho Man" Randy Savage makes his return to WCW on Nitro and aligns himself with Sting in a definite "What could've been?” storyline.It's always great having Dom join us, and he was great as usual, as this ended up being a helluva show!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF2:19:37 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, BattlARTS, IWA Kakuto-Shijuku, WAR, Wrestle Yume Factory, Pancrase, RINGS, AJPW, GAEA, & Jd'2:54:22 Classic Commercial Break2:58:22 Halftime4:05:05 Latin America: AAA, CMLL, Promo Azteca, & WWC4:24:34 Western MMA & Indie Wrestling: WVT/IVC, Superbrawl, Eastern Shores, New Jack City, ECW, USWA, & World Class II6:00:02 WCWTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

Former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani are back in the Windy City (or at least Rosemont) to recap a star-studded June 15, 2000 episode of SmackDown. The headline is the guest appearance of Samuel L. Jackson as Shaft! We break down the surreal crossover segments in Time Square and WWE New York, including the legendary moment where Shaft offers to "protect the booty" of Hardcore Champion Crash Holly.Tommy Blacha provides unique insight into the "on-the-fly" nature of the Shaft shoot and what it was like working with a Hollywood A-lister at the peak of his powers. We also discuss the acoustics of the old Rosemont Horizon, the mystery of The Undertaker's sudden arrest for "carjacking," and why Vince McMahon thought Dean Malenko needed to be paired with the Godfather's ladies to get over.Other major discussion points include:- The Dudley Boyz taking a 10-foot plunge off the stage inside a tied-up dumpster.- The Rock, Undertaker, and Kane dealing with a new high-stakes stipulation for their King of the Ring main event.- Lita carving her own path: How her legitimate in-ring ability in Mexico and Mexico's CMLL forced WWE to take the women's division seriously.- The ongoing "Faction vs. Regime" branding war and Triple H's questionable grammar.- Chris Jericho getting "splashed" by a bucket of water from Stephanie McMahon.Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and tell your enemies about us!Follow Tales from the Attitude Era: Email: tftattitudera@gmail.com Instagram/TikTok/X: @TFTattitudeera0:00 - Intro1:40 - The "Stay Out" Bar and Rosemont's 23-hour liquor laws3:54 - WWE Post-Production: Making Linda McMahon sound dramatic6:55 - Match 1: Edge vs. Grandmaster Sexay (KOTR Qualifier)7:50 - Stone Phillips in the front row / Celebrity cameo talk10:42 - McMahon-Helmsley promo: The new KOTR stipulation17:03 - Crash Holly, Brisco, & Patterson take Time Square17:53 - Match 2: The Hardys vs. T&A / Lita makes the save19:54 - Lita's rise: From a bus to Mexico to the Attitude Era21:19 - Undertaker arrested for carjacking / Spitting tobacco on Bull Buchanan23:21 - Match 3: D-Lo Brown vs. Scotty 2 Hotty (KOTR Qualifier)24:00 - Match 4: Kane vs. Chris Benoit (The "Smart Mark Waiver" finish)25:44 - Edge & Christian's "Mom" drama / Faction vs. Regime debate27:56 - Vince McMahon and the XFL Chicago press conference28:34 - Match 5: Dudley Boyz vs. Edge & Christian29:42 - THE DUMPSTER SPOT: The Dudleys tossed off the stage32:14 - Match 6: Chris Jericho vs. Bull Buchanan 33:42 - Is Jericho being "Herbed"?

AEW President Tony Khan joins the Battleground Podcast for a deep-dive on how AEW has evolved since Year One, what fans still get wrong about creative freedom/creative control, and the real misconceptions around competition in pro wrestling. Plus: the business vs. fan balance in AEW x New Japan and what the G1 Climax in Chicago means behind the scenes.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling closed the book on a defining era at the Tokyo Dome with Wrestle Kingdom 20, a show built around transition rather than nostalgia. Hiroshi Tanahashi's retirement match marked the end of a 25-year in-ring career and served as a clear dividing line for the company moving forward, while the rest of the card focused on consolidation and direction through major title matches and contender-setting bouts. Wrestle Kingdom once again functioned as NJPW's annual truth serum — clarifying priorities, tightening the championship picture, and setting expectations for the post-Tanahashi era. Elsewhere, AEW wrapped up 2025 with Worlds End drawing an estimated 140,000 buys, pushing the company's annual PPV total near 1.25 million worldwide. MJF reclaimed the AEW World Championship, restored the "Triple B," and immediately introduced volatility to the title scene with challengers lining up on television and a potential independent title defense looming at Limitless Wrestling. Willow Nightingale made history on New Year's Smash by becoming the first woman to hold two AEW championships simultaneously, while Tony Khan confirmed the return of AEW Grand Slam Mexico in 2026 and reiterated plans to expand dual-contract partnerships with CMLL talent. WWE entered the new year in the midst of its own structural shift. Trick Williams officially joined the SmackDown roster, Giulia regained the Women's United States Championship, and Matt Cardona was confirmed as an active SmackDown competitor. The WWE PPV and PLE archive began its transition to Netflix in the United States as Raw prepares to celebrate its one-year Netflix anniversary with a Stranger Things–themed episode. Injury updates for Dominik Mysterio and Sheamus, combined with The Usos capturing the World Tag Team Championships, further highlighted a roster recalibration heading into 2026. Tonight's episode breaks down the fallout from Wrestle Kingdom 20, what Tanahashi's retirement means for New Japan's future, and how AEW and WWE are repositioning themselves at the start of a new year. No overstatement, no revisionist framing — just a grounded look at a week that quietly reset the industry's direction. Wrestling Tonight: Episode 159
