Podcasts about Gunther

In this episode of Two Dudes With Attitudes, Ryan and Denton bring you their WWE Week in Review as they break down all the biggest moments from Monday Night RAW (February 2, 2026) and NXT on the Road to WrestleMania. On RAW, we dive into the incredible promo battle between Roman Reigns and CM Punk, as Roman officially chooses Punk as his WrestleMania opponent after winning the Royal Rumble. We discuss why this segment instantly felt like a main-event level feud and what it means for WrestleMania season.We also cover Gunther coming out to AJ Styles' music and attacking Dragon Lee, sending a chilling message after Styles' career-threatening loss at the Royal Rumble. Dominik Mysterio returns and introduces Liv Morgan, who later takes out Stephanie Vaquer after Vaquer defeats Raquel Rodriguez — has Liv Morgan already made her WrestleMania decision? Plus, we break down Bron Breakker's early Royal Rumble exit and his explosive confrontation with Adam Pearce on RAW. What's next for one of WWE's most intense rising stars? On NXT, we discuss the confusing Tony D'Angelo promo and why it left more questions than answers, and we react to Joe Hendry winning the NXT Championship in a brutal ladder match by knocking Ricky Saints off the ladder to capture the gold. We close the episode with our signature Highs and Lows of the Week in WWE, highlighting what worked and what didn't, including the Tag Team Division, the NXT Women's Division, the rise of the “AEW Defectors,” The Vision, the overall Build to WrestleMania, Roman and Punk, and more. From must-see promos to shocking title changes and heated storylines, this episode covers everything you need to know from a massive week in WWE programming.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/two-dudes-with-attitudes-a-wrestling-podcast--5927275/support.

Just go to maximumfun.org/join.The Royal Rumble has come and gone; the first ever edition of the show to be in Saudi Arabia. And once again, it's the clearest sign of WWE placing profit before the fan experience.The audience felt slim, the women were forced to wear their full-coverage jumpsuits and the whole just had a vibe that wasn't befitting a Big 5 PLE.But there were things that we enjoyed: Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan won the titular match; the former sets up an incredibly compelling match for the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk.Plus seeing Gunther retire AJ Styles was something that clearly emotionally affected everyone in attendance and around the world. But we'll explain why we actually think this is really compelling booking.All that and plenty more, but we're left dreading the next time WWE decides to hold another show in Saudi Arabia. The Three CountDanielle put over The Bellas on ImpaulsiveJulian put over Roman's shoes.Hal put over Dominik Mysterio's three dads. Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.This show was produced by Julian Burrell for Maximumfun.org

In this episode of Two Dudes With Attitudes, Ryan and Denton deliver their full review and breakdown of WWE Royal Rumble 2026 as the Road to WrestleMania officially begins. We go match-by-match through the entire Premium Live Event, giving honest reactions, analysis, and debate on the biggest moments of the night.The main question we tackle: Was Roman Reigns the right choice to win the Men's Royal Rumble? We break down the final eliminations, the booking decision, and what Roman's victory means for WWE's WrestleMania main-event picture moving forward. We also dive deep into the Women's Royal Rumble Match, won by Liv Morgan, which we felt clearly outshined the men's match. We discuss breakout performances from Sol Ruca and Lash Legend, the overall pacing and creativity of the match, the lack of true surprise entrants, and what Liv Morgan's win means for the women's championship scene. Another major topic is AJ Styles vs. Gunther, where Styles put his WWE career on the line and ultimately fell short. Is this truly the end of AJ Styles in WWE, or is it part of a larger long-term storyline? We debate whether the retirement stipulation is legitimate or just the beginning of something bigger. We also break down Drew McIntyre defeating Sami Zayn to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship and what this result means for both competitors heading toward WrestleMania season. We close the episode with our signature “Two Thumbs With Attitudes” segment, where we grade the entire event with our percentage-based scoring system: 80% or higher earns a thumbs up, below 80% earns a thumbs down. No nostalgia bias. No favoritism. Just unbiased wrestling analysis.

Episode 187 starts in one place and ends up everywhere. Big ideas, sharp detours, and the kind of conversations that only happen when nobody is sticking to a rundown. If you like episodes where you don't quite know where the next turn is coming from, this one lives in that lane. There's a lot of side-eye at the state of media right now. What we pay for it, what we actually use, and why some things still feel non-negotiable no matter how many streaming apps exist. It turns into a broader conversation about habits you can't quite shake, even when technology says you should. Money comes up, but not in the obvious way. Less "hot takes," more real-world perspective. Value, scarcity, and why certain things suddenly feel heavier than they did just a few years ago. It's not a lecture, but it's not nothing either. Wrestling threads weave in and out without ever taking over. Careers, longevity, expectations, and how fans talk about performers versus what those performers actually give up. It's reflective without being sentimental, and blunt without trying to be edgy. And because it's this show, it doesn't end without drifting into pop culture, nostalgia, and a few questions that absolutely did not need definitive answers but got debated anyway. Episode 187 is loose, opinionated, and very on brand.

Welcome to Episode 165 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL, Dick Lazers, and Code TAVERN. Use code TAVERN to save 20% at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Acefield Retro breaks down Royal Rumble: Riyadh, WWE's first traditional Royal Rumble held outside North America, with a full recap of what happened and why it happened. We start with the Men's Royal Rumble, won by Roman Reigns after lasting 58 minutes. The focus here is on structure more than surprises — Oba Femi's early dominance, some jarring eliminations involving major players, the Bloodline-heavy finish, and why this Rumble leaned into timing, hierarchy, and direction instead of pure chaos. From there, we go back to the Women's Royal Rumble, a match that got off to a rough start thanks to production issues and uneven pacing, but steadily improved as it went. Liv Morgan picked up the win with a smart, controlled performance. Lash Legend led everyone with five eliminations, Sol Ruca continued to look like a long-term piece, and Rhea Ripley still felt like the biggest presence in the match, even without the victory. We then break down Gunther vs. AJ Styles, a 24-minute match that was the closing chapter of AJ's WWE run. Styles stayed competitive throughout, but Gunther's patience and late-match execution decided it, leading to a bigger conversation about what this loss means for Styles moving forward.  The episode also covers Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn for the WWE Championship. McIntyre retained after a physically demanding, emotionally heavy match that leaned hard into Zayn's toughness and McIntyre's increasingly ruthless edge as champion. Episode 165 is about results, structure, and intent — what worked, what didn't, and what Royal Rumble: Riyadh tells us about where WWE is heading on the road to WrestleMania.

Mark Henry gears up for the Royal Rumble by breaking down the Smackdown before the big event in Saudi Arabia.
