And the booker got fired afterward.We've got an Extreme Elimination Chamber Match featuring Big Show, Bobby Lashley, CM Punk, Hardcore Holly, Test, and Rob Van Dam, The Hardyz vs. MNM, and a couple matches no one in their right mind would care about.Plus we discuss AEW World's End, featuring MJF winning the AEW Title and Jon Moxley winning the Continental Classic.

On Episode 214 of The AEW-some Pod, the gang—Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico—are joined by special guest Brock Lesnar Guy himself, Michael Corcoran, to go bell-to-bell on AEW Worlds End 2025, a Chicago PPV where MJF sneaks his way back to the top and Jon Moxley bleeds, limps, and chokes his way through the Continental Classic to grab the new crown. The crew breaks down Okada vs. Takeshita and why that screwdriver finish might be the dumbest way possible to end a dream-match semi, Mox vs. Kyle Fletcher nearly going off the rails with a terrifying head-drop before turning into a tournament classic, and Mox vs. Okada in a final that proves sometimes pure grit beats “greatest tournament wrestler of all time, bitch.” They also hit FTR and the Bang Bang Gang turning a Chicago Street Fight into a stiff, beautifully ugly brawl, Willow & Harley hanging onto the Women's Tag Titles against Mercedes & Athena, and Darby Allin and Gabe Kidd trying to murder each other in 13 minutes. Plus: Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter's head-drop-heavy thriller for the Women's World Title, Toni Storm's “Mixed Nuts Mayhem” chaos, MJF pinning Samoa Joe in a four-way that rewrites the main-event picture, and of course Dick of the Week, Hero of the Week, and Showdown of the Week from one of AEW's wildest PPVs of the year.

Welcome to Episode 157 of Wrestling Tonight, and we went live immediately after AEW Worlds End from Hoffman Estates because this was a show that demanded to be discussed in real time while the emotions were still raw and the consequences were still unfolding, rather than filtered through distance or softened by hindsight. Worlds End closed the year in a way that felt deeply consistent with what AEW has been building toward all along, presenting a demanding, physical, and unapologetically work driven pay per view that avoided shortcuts and resisted the temptation to chase shock for its own sake, even when that choice asked more patience and endurance from the audience. This was a long and intense night, occasionally messy in ways that felt earned rather than overproduced, and by the time the final bell rang, Worlds End felt less like a traditional year end finale and more like a deliberate stress test for the roster and the creative philosophy guiding the company into 2026. The Continental Classic served as the backbone of the show, reinforcing AEW's belief that winning should carry weight and that endurance, discipline, and adaptability matter just as much as spectacle, with the matches unfolding at a pace that allowed fatigue, strategy, and resilience to become part of the story rather than something to be edited around. Jon Moxley standing at the center of the tournament by night's end was not about surprise or reinvention, but about validation, as the Continental Classic once again rewarded a wrestler willing to absorb punishment, adjust under pressure, and keep pushing when the cumulative toll of the tournament became impossible to ignore. Even as the crowd grew tired late in the night, they stayed engaged because the work demanded that investment, and the structure of the tournament justified asking it. At the top of the card, MJF reclaiming the AEW World Championship in a chaotic and layered main event reflected the broader theme of the evening, offering a finish that was intentionally uncomfortable and unresolved, designed not to provide closure but to reintroduce volatility and tension into a main event scene crowded with credible challengers and lingering grudges. Rather than simplifying the championship picture, the result complicated it, creating forward momentum built on uncertainty instead of finality. Across the rest of the card, Worlds End found a careful balance between violence, personality, and humor without allowing any single element to dominate, and while not every match landed with the same precision, very little felt disposable or disconnected from the larger direction of the company. More importantly, multiple wrestlers left Hoffman Estates feeling more significant than they did entering the night, which is exactly what a year closing pay per view should accomplish if it is doing its job correctly. Since its debut on December 30, 2023, followed by December 28, 2024, and now December 27, 2025, Worlds End has quietly established itself as AEW's annual checkpoint, a place where stories close, standings shift, and the path forward becomes clearer even when the answers are intentionally uncomfortable or incomplete. Tonight, we are breaking down Worlds End match by match, examining what worked, what did not, and what feels deliberately unfinished as AEW turns the page toward a new year, offering a grounded and honest assessment of a show that asked a great deal from its audience and largely earned that investment.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, with your hosts Acefield Retro and Chad. Episode 156 is centered on AEW's year-ending statement show. For the third straight year, Worlds End closes the calendar not by starting new stories, but by finishing them. Set for Saturday, December 27 in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, Worlds End is AEW's annual reckoning — where endurance, not momentum, decides who carries the company forward. The backbone of the event is the Continental Classic. AEW's round-robin tournament strips the product down to results and consequences. In 2025, those consequences revolve around Kazuchika Okada. As both Continental Champion and International Champion, Okada enters Worlds End as the Unified Champion. AEW has clarified the rules: only the Continental Championship is awarded through the tournament, league matches do not put titles on the line, and everything comes down to Worlds End. If Okada loses the Continental Championship, the unification ends. One night determines whether the Unified Championship continues to exist. The format is ruthless. Two semifinals and a final in one night, no recovery, no protection. Winning the Continental Classic means surviving the tournament and the pressure of immediate repetition. Worlds End also features a volatile AEW World Championship match. Samoa Joe defends against Swerve Strickland, Hangman Adam Page, and MJF in a four-way born from betrayal, unresolved claims, and opportunism. Joe holds the title through control. Swerve brings momentum. Page is chasing redemption. MJF enters by exploiting timing. In a match like this, dominance matters less than navigation. The women's division is a focal point as well. Kris Statlander defends the AEW Women's World Championship against Jamie Hayter in a clash built on identity and unfinished business, while Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron face Mercedes Moné and Athena in a defining test for the women's tag division. We also touch on WWE this week, as John Cena addressed the disappearance of Travis Scott and The Rock from WWE storylines, explaining that once those pieces were gone, the focus shifted immediately to adaptation rather than regret — a revealing look at how WWE pivots when plans change. Worlds End isn't about comfort. It's about clarity. By the final bell, champions will stand because they endured, not because they were protected. This is Episode 156 of Wrestling Tonight — where the year answers back.  

In a special Christmas week edition of Spotlight, Rev Joe returns and joins me to talk all his thoughts heading into Worlds End week with the Continental Classic, his thoughts on MJF and the AEW title scene as a whole. We also talk John Cena on Cody Rhodes podcast and his thoughts on WWE going into the end of the year, the Wrestle Kingdom card (featuring Chris Brookes) and even some AAA.(Also, Eastenders Christmas special, Brookside, Barrymore, the best items on a Roast Dinner, Coffee, Hammerstein, and many more tangents.)Enjoy!BennoSHOWNOTES0:00 Intro, Cena and Cody, WWE in 2025, CM Punk50:11 AEW Worlds End, Continental Classic, Christmas Roasts1:57:18 NJPW, AAA, Joe's Films and TV of the yearGRAPPL Spotlight is produced with support from our Patrons and YouTube members, with special thanks to Patreon Kings and Queen Of The Mountain - Conor O'Loughlin, Eddie Sideburns, Chris Platt, Carl Gac, Sophia Hitchcock, Simon Mulvaney & Marty Ellis!You can find all of our live shows on YouTube by becoming a Member at ⁠http://www.Youtube.com/@GRAPPL,⁠ or join us on Patreon for both live video and audio replays at ⁠http://www.patreon.com/GRAPPL!⁠You can also join us on the GRAPPL Discord for free at https://discord.gg/KqeVAcwctS⁠ Hosted on Acast.

Andrew Zarian is back with the latest Wrestling Observer Live Sunday edition, talking all the latest news in professional wrestling. I start by talking about seeing AEW Dynamite taped from the Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday, and I share my thoughts on what I saw without spoiling the details. I also discussed this week's Collision from Saturday and what appears to be the downfall of Mercedes Moné's title reign. I also break down Continental Classic current points and preview Worlds End next weekend. With John Cena's retirement from last week and the reaction that Gunther got on Monday's Raw, I talk about what's next for Gunther and how the company can benefit from him being a big monster heel going forward. Plus, thoughts on SmackDown, Andrade's ability to work Indies, the Triple A show from Saturday, and more!

Then we get into the Connie and all the men's emotions in their pretty good post-match promos! The Elite and the DCF also had a very fun match and we talk about how we'll all get old someday, so that's pretty normal and cool.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, with your hosts Acefield Retro and Chad. We open Episode 155 with the defining image of the week: Gunther standing tall as John Cena taps out in the final match of his WWE career. What should have been a shared emotional release instead became a revealing moment about WWE's creative posture, as Saturday Night's Main Event exposed the company's increasingly adversarial relationship with its audience. The result wasn't the issue. Gunther is already a made man, and his credibility never hinged on retiring Cena. The friction came from the framing. The show was presented as a celebration, yet paced like Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. By the time Cena escaped the sleeper once and Gunther reapplied it, the atmosphere didn't crest into catharsis. It stalled. That disconnect sharpened during the post-match ceremony. WWE rushed into pageantry — roster surrounding the ring, titles presented, tribute video cued — without letting the building settle. The reaction made clear the audience understood exactly what kind of ending they'd been handed. We break down why the finish felt less organic than corrective, and contrast it with Sting's retirement in AEW, which showed how patience and alignment can create a farewell that feels complete. From there, we pivot to AEW's Continental Classic, where Dynamite delivered real movement. "Speedball" Mike Bailey stunned Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada handled Jack Perry, and Claudio Castagnoli and Konosuke Takeshita fought to a punishing time-limit draw that reinforced the Classic as AEW's most sports-driven concept. We then hit an Observer-style business and schedule corner, breaking down AEW's crowded December — early U.K. Collision, a three-hour Manchester Dynamite with $1 million at stake, a tight Worlds End promotional window — before flipping to WWE's business side: Royal Rumble demand, archive strategy, NXT PLE timing, and mid-December pre-taping. We close with a look ahead at a loaded week across the industry, from Holiday Bash and the Continental Classic to Impact's cage chaos, SmackDown's continued Cena fallout, NXT's road to New Year's Evil, and a packed runway toward Worlds End, Wrestle Kingdom, the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 42. This is Episode 155 of Wrestling Tonight — where the moments matter, the context counts, and the conversation goes deeper than the finish
