Welcome to Episode 170 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers. Use code TAVERN to save 20 percent at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Acefield Retro and Chad return this week with a focused, comprehensive look at WWE Elimination Chamber: Chicago, and the broader business and legal context surrounding the event as WrestleMania 42 approaches. Elimination Chamber is not simply a February premium live event. The 2026 edition marks WWE's first televised event at the United Center since SummerSlam 1994, the first U.S.-based Elimination Chamber since 2021, and the final structural checkpoint before WrestleMania 42. With title implications and WrestleMania main event positioning attached to multiple matches, this show operates as a pivot point in WWE's calendar. We break down the full card in detail. The World Heavyweight Championship headlines in Chicago as CM Punk defends against Finn Bálor in Punk's hometown. What began as professional respect shifted into hostility after Bálor was excluded from the Royal Rumble match and responded with a direct assault on the champion. Despite reported hesitation from management within storyline, Bálor forced the issue and secured the title match. A Bálor victory would immediately reshape the WrestleMania 42 main event picture. The Women's Intercontinental Championship match between Becky Lynch and AJ Lee is built on competitive imbalance. Since returning, AJ has submitted Becky twice in non-title settings, creating a dynamic where the champion is defending not just a title but her standing within the division. This is less about opportunity and more about restoring hierarchy before WrestleMania season locks into place. Both Elimination Chamber matches will determine WrestleMania challengers. On the men's side, the field includes Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Sami Zayn, Bron Breakker, and Damian Priest, with one final qualifying spot to be decided on the go-home edition of Raw. Historically, the Chamber has either elevated a rising star or reinforced an established main event presence. With a mix of veteran credibility and emerging power, WWE appears to be actively testing which direction serves WrestleMania best. The women's Chamber features Bayley, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Jade Cargill, and Shayna Baszler, with one final entrant pending. Complicating the stakes is Rhea Ripley's pending WrestleMania decision as Royal Rumble winner. The eventual Chamber victor will not know their WrestleMania opponent until Ripley makes her choice, adding strategic uncertainty to the structure. Beyond the in-ring narrative, we examine WWE's reported restriction of public Elimination Chamber watch parties within the Chicago market. Multiple local venues were allegedly informed they could not host public viewing events. With ticket distribution reportedly below configuration and entry prices exceeding $260, the move appears connected to protecting live gate revenue. We discuss the business rationale, the optics in a historically strong WWE city, and the long-term implications for fan goodwill. We also address the week's most significant off-screen development. Janel Grant appeared publicly at a Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence briefing, where she discussed the impact of non-disclosure agreements in workplace misconduct cases and referenced the NDA central to her lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon. Grant spoke about the mental health toll of being publicly identified, her SEC whistleblower status, and directed remarks toward TKO leadership. As WrestleMania season accelerates, we analyze the corporate, legal, and reputational implications for WWE and its parent company. Additionally, reports indicate uncertainty regarding Chris Jericho's AEW contract status, with speculation that his deal may be paused or frozen during his television absence. While AEW has not confirmed details, the timing raises legitimate questions about contract structure, injury clauses, and potential movement in 2026. Inside the Chamber, WrestleMania challengers will be determined. Outside the ring, issues of access, optics, and corporate accountability continue to shape the broader conversation. Episode 170 examines both dimensions with clarity and depth as WrestleMania season moves into its decisive phase. Listen now.

They analyze CM Punk's fiery promo aimed at Finn Balor and The Judgment Day, and break down Javeon Evans' shocking victory over Gunther and Dominik Mysterio to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. Why is Gunther losing key matches? Is this long-term storytelling or questionable booking? They also dive into the awkward promo segment between Liv Morgan and Stephanie Vaquer and what it says about the women's division heading into Elimination Chamber.

On the 73rd Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom & Zeus welcome back special guest, the host of the Busted Open Radio on Sirius XM and Shout It Out Loudcast Hall Of Famer, Dave LaGreca, to review the 1981 classic ACDC album "For Those About To Rock We Salute You." ACDC was just coming off their major breakthrough album Back In Black with their classic lineup of new singer Brian Johnson, the incredible dual guitars of brothers, Angus & Malcolm Young and the underrated Cliff Williams on bass and Phil Rudd on drums. For Those About To Rock We Salute You made it to #1 on Billboard album charts and eventually went 4 X platinum. This was ACDC's first #1 album led by their title track which even has a video that was in heavy rotation on MTV. This album continued the ACDC formula of guitar rock at its best. The band was becoming legendary and this album cemented them as one of the greatest bands in all of rock history. This was Tom's pick and as usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.

Sponsored this week by WIX HARMONY, the NEW WAY to create websites! Try it FREE at http://www.wix.com/harmonyI've got a lot to say about AEW Grand Slam Australia and the Brody King controversy that erupted this week after Dave Meltzer's ERRONEOUS report about him being kept off TV by Warner Brothers Discovery. The CNN website even featured a story that focused a lot on Brody. What could this be leading to?... Paul Levesque rumored to be IN THE HOT SEAT as WWE calls an emergency meeting amid TKO concerns over lagging WrestleMania ticket sales, here are the REAL reasons why those sales are lagging and why they have no one to blame but themselves... where things stand for Elimination Chamber and rumors of a Brock Lesnar vs. LA Knight match for Mania... Kevin Nash has a NEW STORY about why his match with CM Punk in 2011 never happened... and reviewing the Wrestling Observer Newsletter 2025 Awards!***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
