Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly look at everything happening across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, and beyond. This week's episode covers one of the most loaded slates of the year as the summer calendar reaches a boiling point. We begin with a full preview of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, where the world's biggest promotions collide once again on one of wrestling's most anticipated stages. Headlining the card, AEW World Champion Hangman Page defends against MJF in a long-awaited rematch, while AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada puts his title on the line against Swerve Strickland. The show also features the reunion of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage as they team for the first time in over 14 years, Toni Storm defending the AEW Women's World Championship against Athena, and Zack Sabre Jr. meeting Nigel McGuinness for the IWGP World Championship. Kyle Fletcher defends the TNT title against Hiromu Takahashi, Mercedes Moné faces Persephone, Alex Windsor, and a Stardom representative in a TBS Championship Four-Way, and a stacked lights-out steel cage match pits Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, and Hiroshi Tanahashi in his London farewell against Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Gabe Kidd, and The Young Bucks. From there, we turn to WWE's future with NXT Heatwave. Oba Femi is set to defend the NXT Championship against either Trick Williams or Je'Von Evans, while Hank Walker and Tank Ledger put the NXT Tag Team titles on the line against DarkState. Jacy Jayne defends the TNA Knockouts World Championship in a triple threat against Masha Slamovich and Ash by Elegance, and Jordynne Grace collides with Blake Monroe. A number one contender's match for the NXT Women's Championship will also take place featuring Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice. Over in TNA, Emergence 2025 delivered a card full of major results. Trick Williams retained the World Championship against Moose in a match that had the Baltimore crowd split but firmly cemented Williams as TNA's top babyface. The Hardys retained the World Tag Team titles against The Rascalz in one of the night's highlights, Leon Slater held onto the X-Division Championship against Cedric Alexander, and Mike Santana defeated Sami Callihan in a Baltimore Street Fight that may have marked Callihan's farewell. While technical issues marred the preshow, the main event and key title bouts gave TNA momentum heading into Bound for Glory. In Mexico, Triplemanía marked the official beginning of WWE and AAA's working relationship. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Nick Khan stood alongside AAA leadership to emphasize collaboration. On the card, Omos won the Copa Bardahl, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. claimed the Latin American title, and Psycho Clown and Pagano captured the AAA Tag Team Championship. Judgment Day scored a win in trios action, Flammer retained the Reina de Reinas Championship, and in the main event, El Hijo del Vikingo retained the AAA Mega Championship in a four-way over Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano, with AJ Styles making a shocking run-in to help seal the finish. The event had the production, presentation, and pacing of a WWE show, sparking debate about AAA's evolving identity under this partnership. On the business side, TKO announced that UFC will end its traditional pay-per-view model beginning in January 2026 under a $7.7 billion, seven-year deal with Paramount Plus and CBS. WWE also secured a five-year, $1.6 billion agreement with ESPN, moving Premium Live Events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble to ESPN's new streaming service. At the same time, reports revealed WWE holds an option to purchase TNA and a right of first refusal should the company seek another buyer, further linking the two promotions' futures. Finally, NJPW's G1 Climax 35 has reached its conclusion. Konosuke Takeshita defeated EVIL in the final at Ariake Arena, fighting through an injured knee and overcoming House of Torture interference to secure his first G1 victory. Along the way, Takeshita shocked Zack Sabre Jr. in the semifinals, setting the stage for their Wrestle Kingdom clash, where he will challenge for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. With this win, Takeshita declared himself “The Alpha,” signaling his rise as NJPW's new international ace.

Host Adam Silverstein opens by tackling the week across NXT [2:45] led by Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Je'Von Evans and Moose battling DarkState in a showcase of WWE's young talent. Jordynne Grace achieved some much-needed character development as Lash Legend and Nia Jax put on a big meaty banger, Jacy Jayne faced a war on two fronts, Joe Hendry picked up an easy win and Chelsea Green alongside Ethan Page remained hysterical. "The Silver King" then breaks down AEW [20:50], including Hangman Page goading MJF into a title challenge, Will Ospreay returning to set up a lights out steel cage match alongside Darby Allin and Hiroshi Tanahashi against Jon Moxley's Death Riders, Toni Storm backing Alex Windsor against Athena and Mercedes Mone, Christian Cage saving Adam Copeland, plus an overall look at AEW's storytelling and the not-so-forbidden lineup ahead.

In the spirit of the season, The Eastern Lariat returns with deep dive into the big summer gatherings of pro wrestling in japan – the major tournaments. The show starts out with Dylan's rundown of Stardom's 5Star Grand Prix up until Day 4 and then turns to New Japan Pro Wrestling's G1 Climax 35 that crossed the half way point this past weekend. The big question here is: What's in the cards for which performer? The show of course also offers a series of recommended matches, highlights performers and performances and also questions unwritten rules of pro wrestling in Japan. Deservedly so so, All Japan Pro Wrestling is in the main event spot of this show for their excellent, dramatic and energizing Summer Action Wars from Ota Ward that saw two high-class matches in the World Tag Team Title Match and the Final of the Zennichi Junior Festival and that could steer AJPW in the right direction.

On this episode of the Eastern Lariat podcast, STRIGGA & Dylan dive into a packed puroresu lineup. They kick things off with Pro Wrestling NOAH, where KENTA has taken center stage in a major way for the first time since 2014. Then it's over to All Japan Pro Wrestling for a deep look at the Zennichi Junior Tournament and what it means for the promotion's junior division – is this the best its ever been? From there, STRIGGA & Dylan turn their attention to NJPW's G1 Climax 35. They give a synopsis of the first 7 days of the tournament analyzing each competitor's performance so far, comment on booking decisions, and who might make it to the playoffs with Block B being in complete disarray after Gabe Kidd's injury.

Wrestling Tonight: Episode 132 arrives at a moment where nearly every major promotion is pushing forward at once. AEW, WWE, NXT, TNA, ROH, and NJPW all have significant developments converging on a single weekend—each with something to prove and plenty to deliver. At the center is AEW All In: Texas, relocated from London's Wembley Stadium to Globe Life Field in Arlington. What began as a necessary shift has taken on new meaning, as AEW presents a lineup centered on legacy, rivalry, and change. Jon Moxley and Hangman Page revisit their violent history in a Texas Death Match. Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada meet again, years removed from their Tokyo Dome series, with both the Continental and International titles on the line. Toni Storm defends the AEW Women's Championship against Mercedes Moné, while The Young Bucks stake their executive roles against the rising challenge of Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay. Jim Ross returns to commentary, bringing a familiar voice back for a match that helped define this generation of wrestling. Meanwhile, WWE is poised for a major double-header. Evolution returns for the first time since 2018 as a full-scale PLE, headlined by Tiffany Stratton vs. Trish Stratus and IYO SKY vs. Rhea Ripley. Naomi and Jade Cargill aim to settle a personal score in a No Holds Barred match, and the tag and NXT titles are also in play. The night before, The Great American Bash sees NXT continue its partnership with TNA, including a tag match previewing Jordynne Grace's title shot, and Oba Femi defending the NXT Championship against Yoshiki Inamura. Trick Williams, Joe Hendry, and Mike Santana also meet for a contract signing ahead of their Slammiversary main event. Saturday Night's Main Event returns to NBC with a mix of nostalgia and current stakes. Gunther defends the World Heavyweight Title against Goldberg in what's being promoted as a retirement match. Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre continue their long-running rivalry, while Seth Rollins faces LA Knight with SummerSlam implications. Outside the ring, the broader landscape continues to shift. John Cena has confirmed his retirement match will take place in December. AJ Styles has signed a one-year extension, with the end of his in-ring career likely on the horizon. Tony Khan has commented on AEW's openness to international partnerships, while WWE's legal battle with Janel Grant intensifies, with new filings drawing in board-level communications and discovery disputes. Supercard of Honor adds more to the weekend, with Bandido vs. Konosuke Takeshita, Athena vs. Thunder Rosa, and The Infantry finally earning a shot at ROH tag team gold. Scorpio Sky also made his return on Collision, ending a long period of uncertainty in his AEW career. In Japan, the G1 Climax field is now finalized, with Ryohei Oiwa set to make his debut and YOSHI-HASHI returning for the first time since 2022. Gabe Kidd retained his IWGP Global Championship over Hiroshi Tanahashi, then publicly declared his intention to win the tournament—further solidifying his place in NJPW's next wave. This weekend marks not just a milestone, but a reflection of wrestling's current landscape interconnected, transitional, and constantly evolving. From stadium shows to streaming exclusives, legacy rivalries to first-time matchups, Wrestling Tonight covers the full spectrum.

STRIGGA & Dylan return with a deep dive into New Japan Pro Wrestling's Dominion, breaking down the key moments from NJPW's annual big summer event in Osaka. The main focus in this show is on questionable booking decisions, but also on character development and how very little of this development ever matters. With the results of the show and the actual good match quality in mind, they analyze what it says about New Japan's current direction. The conversation heats up with a look at the growing influence of the House of Torture and ongoing shifts in faction dynamics. How are these developments shaping the landscape heading into the summer? This leads straight to an early speculation about who might be the favorites going into the G1 Climax and how this could shape the second half of 2025 and the road to the Tokyo Dome. Disclaimer: The final 15 minutes of the show see Dylan mourn the death of his grandpa Ken.

The Turnbuckle Tavern

On Episode 129 of Wrestling Tonight, we examine a wrestling landscape defined by momentum, contradiction, and long-overdue reckonings. Gunther has once again ascended to the top of WWE's mountain, reclaiming the World Heavyweight Championship with a decisive victory over Jey Uso on Raw. After a legendary Intercontinental reign and a prior world title run, this latest chapter only reaffirms what many already knew—Gunther represents stability, precision, and quiet dominance in an era often ruled by noise. But if Gunther embodies discipline, CM Punk continues to wrestle with dualities—especially his own. Punk is now officially headed to Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, where he'll face John Cena in a high-profile rematch years in the making. The match is compelling on paper, but the context is impossible to ignore. For much of his career, Punk positioned himself as a vocal critic of WWE's Saudi partnership. His participation now marks a sharp pivot—and raises fair questions about where principle ends and pragmatism begins. Across the globe, AEW prepares for a milestone event with Grand Slam: Mexico, a historic collaboration with CMLL at Arena México. The card brings together AEW's signature stars and Mexico's rich lucha tradition: MJF vs. Mistico, Mercedes Moné defending the CMLL Women's Championship, Ricochet returning to his roots in a four-way spectacle, and a lineup of elite trios competition featuring Okada, Ospreay, FTR, and more. It's not just a supercard—it's a cultural statement about what AEW wants to be. In Japan, NJPW's Dominion delivered a slate of meaningful outcomes and subtle shifts. Hirooki Goto retained the IWGP World Heavyweight Title after a grueling defense against Shingo Takagi, Konosuke Takeshita continues to cement his position ahead of the G1 despite his loss to Oleg Boltin, and EVIL's vicious dog collar match win over David Finlay paired with the Bullet Club's unraveling. With questions lingering around Hiroshi Tanahashi's G1 future, Dominion felt less like a culmination and more like a prologue to what's ahead. From Toronto to Tokyo, Mexico City to Riyadh, professional wrestling continues to evolve—sometimes with purpose, sometimes with contradiction, and always with stories that reflect more than what happens in the ring.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, your go-to source for smart, thoughtful coverage of the entire wrestling landscape — from the bright lights of WWE and AEW to NJPW, TNA, and the vibrant indie scene. This is Episode 120, and it's our WrestleMania Week Megapreview — the most stacked episode of the year for the most stacked week of the year. We kick things off in Las Vegas with WrestleMania 41, and we've got your full match-by-match breakdown across both nights at Allegiant Stadium. From the decade-in-the-making Triple Threat between Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins, to Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena, Gunther vs. Jey Uso, and Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair, this Mania card might be one of the most balanced and compelling we've seen in years. But Mania is just the start. We also spotlight the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025, with Triple H, Lex Luger, and Michelle McCool getting their flowers — and a special nod to the legendary Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin submission match from WrestleMania 13, now enshrined as the first-ever “Immortal Moment.” Then it's over to NXT Stand & Deliver, where the next generation looks to steal the weekend. We've got Oba Femi defending the NXT Title, a chaotic ladder match to crown the first Women's North American Champion, and crossover talent from TNA and NJPW thrown into the mix. From there, we pivot to the AEW side of things — and it's anything but quiet. PAC's latest injury has reshuffled the deck, and now Jon Moxley finds himself pulling double duty, defending both the AEW World Title and the Trios Championships. The Owen Hart Foundation Tournament is heating up too, with semifinal showdowns set: Will Ospreay vs. Konosuke Takeshita, Mercedes Moné vs. Athena, and more. Plus, The Hurt Syndicate (Lashley & Benjamin) are rolling, while Chris Jericho steps away from AEW — for now. We'll also take you through the key fallout from NJPW Windy City Riot, where Hiroshi Tanahashi wrestled his final U.S. match in an emotional clash with Konosuke Takeshita. Plus, Tomohiro Ishii claims gold in a brutal Iron Man Match, and Hirooki Goto continues his reign atop NJPW. And don't worry — we're not skipping the indies. Vegas is a wrestling playground this week.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly source for thoughtful analysis and comprehensive coverage of professional wrestling across AEW, WWE, NJPW, TNA, and beyond. In Episode 119, we take a closer look at AEW Dynasty 2025, an event that may not have aimed for spectacle, but instead offered meaningful story progression and character development. From Kenny Omega's standout title defense in a triple threat against Ricochet and Speedball Mike Bailey to the chaotic main event between Jon Moxley and Swerve Strickland, the night reflected AEW's evolving creative direction. Key moments—such as the return of the Young Bucks, FTR's turn on Adam Copeland, and Okada's silent confrontation with Omega—signal major storylines moving forward. We also cover the emotional win by Bandido over Chris Jericho, Adam Cole's TNT Championship victory, and the strong showing by Megan Bayne in her title challenge against Toni Storm. These matches helped strengthen AEW's midcard and showcased the depth of the roster. Post-show insights from the media scrum, featuring comments from Toni Storm, Anthony Bowens, and Adam Cole, offered personal reflections on the night's impact and direction. Outside AEW, WWE made headlines this week with Kevin Owens announcing he will undergo neck surgery, officially pulling out of his scheduled WrestleMania 41 match. Meanwhile, CM Punk invoked his long-standing favor from Paul Heyman, asking Heyman to be in his corner for the main event at WrestleMania. The request set off a tense segment involving Roman Reigns, as Heyman, torn between loyalty and respect, made a surprising decision. Also featured in this week's episode: TNA rebrands the Digital Media Title as the International Championship, with a new tournament underway. NJPW's Best of the Super Juniors 32 field is set, with AEW's Nick Wayne and others making their debuts. Previewing the full schedule for WrestleMania week, including NXT Stand & Deliver, Bloodsport, Joey Janela's Spring Break, and more. AEW announces Fyter Fest's return as a four-hour special on June 4. A preview of NJPW Windy City Riot, featuring Hiroshi Tanahashi's final U.S. match and several high-stakes bouts. As the wrestling world builds toward a busy spring of major events, Wrestling Tonight continues to bring you timely updates, considered insights, and in-depth discussion.
