Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau share their two cents on what happened on last week's newsworthy SmackDown to kick off WrestleRant Radio before discussing whether Cody Rhodes should lose the Undisputed WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at Saturday Night's Main Event. They also give an update on the insane Andrade dilemma, non-compete clauses in wrestling and Samantha Irvin dealing with a similar situation. From there, they recap AEW's WrestleDream pay-per-view event, including Mercedes Mone capturing yet another championship (what's the endgame?!) and a polarizing "I Quit" main event between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley. Plus, hear their thoughts on Seth Rollins having to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship, if the follow-up to the big angle with The Vision was disappointing, CM Punk vs. Jey Uso fighting for the vacant title at Saturday Night's Main Event and who will win, and FULL PREDICTIONS for Saturday's NXT Halloween Havoc event!

Jey Uso winning the Battle Royal on Raw to face CM Punk at Saturday Night's Main Event was the right creative decision by WWE: #AGREE or #DISAGREE?Jey Uso vs CM Punk at SNMEIlja Dragunov Returns To Capture US TitleCody Rhodes vs Drew McIntyreHot Tag!The fallout from the injury to Seth Rollins has begun, as he was stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship and WWE held a Battle Royal on Raw to determine CM Punk's opponent at Saturday Night's Main Event on November 1st.With entrants such as LA Knight, AJ Styles, Dom Mysterio, and Penta in the mix, the final two came down to Jey Uso eliminating his brother Jimmy Uso, LAKnight and Som Mysterioto move on to the World Title Match at SNME. Did WWE make the right decision going with Uso against Punk, or did they miss a golden opportunity to set up a fresh main event picture? How does this affect The Vision?We also saw Ilja Dragunov return on Smackdown to answer Sami Zayn's US title open challenge, shocking the world by capturing the United States Title. We'll discuss his return and what a win like this could mean for him moving forward, as well as what this means for Sami Zayn moving forward.Also in Smackdown, a backstage attack eliminated Jacob Fatu from competing in a Number 1 Contender's Match against Drew McIntyre to determine the next challenger for Cody Rhodes' WWE Championship. Confronted by Cody, a brawl and impromptu match ensued, setting the stage for Drew to challenge Cody. Can Drew finally win the big match and defeat Cody or is he set up to lose yet another major main event opportunity? What would a loss mean for Drew?We discuss all of this and much more on this week's episode of the Lazy Booking Podcast!S/P: Specialized Physical Therapy | specializedphysicaltherapy.com

WWE made significant creative pivots to its main event scenes across Monday Night Raw and SmackDown with the latest Saturday Night's Main Event upcoming.

Episode 147 is live. Acefield Retro and Chad are back with a brand-new edition of Wrestling Tonight to break it all down, a massive week across AEW, WWE, and beyond. AEW WrestleDream 2025 in St. Louis felt like a complete show from start to finish. Every match had purpose, and every moment built toward something meaningful. Darby Allin finally defeated Jon Moxley in a violent but deeply emotional I Quit match that ended with Sting's return.  Hangman Page and Samoa Joe delivered the kind of world title match that rewards patience, ending with Page barely surviving before The Opps made their presence felt again. Cracks began to form in Don Callis' camp when Kazuchika Okada accidentally hit Takeshita with a Rainmaker, costing them the tag titles. Kris Statlander's win over Toni Storm was the title defense her reign needed, and Mercedes Moné continued her dominant streak by defeating Mina Shirakawa to break Ultimo Dragon's record. Elsewhere, Jurassic Express reunited to beat the Young Bucks in a fast, fun tag match that raised new questions about Kenny Omega's next move. Fletcher retained against Briscoe, Hayter and Thekla tore into each other, and The Hurt Syndicate picked up a strong win that puts them in line for gold. In WWE, Seth Rollins' shoulder injury could reshape the road to WrestleMania, but the larger story is the company's quiet rollout of an AI-driven storytelling system. Reports suggest WWE creative has begun testing artificial intelligence to help design character arcs, anticipate audience reactions, and fine-tune story pacing before scripts reach production. Whether this becomes a valuable tool or a creative crutch remains to be seen, but it marks a major shift in how wrestling stories might be told. Jacob Fatu's violent write-off and Ilja Dragunov's surprise United States Title win over Sami Zayn arrived with uncanny timing, fueling speculation that elements of the new system are already in play. Across the Pacific, AJ Styles may have wrestled his final match in Japan, closing the night with an emotional farewell speech delivered in Japanese by Shinsuke Nakamura. It was a week that balanced endings and beginnings. AEW delivered purposeful, organic storytelling while WWE stepped into uncharted territory by blending creativity with artificial intelligence. Wrestling keeps evolving, and nights like these remind everyone why they care.

COLD OPEN QUESTION OF THE WEEK: If you were a rapper or rock star, which AEW faction would you name your backing band or crew after (1:06)? David and Kaz kick off the show by discussing the “I Quit” match between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley and discuss the finish and the backlash it received online as far as being suitable for kids (3:31).
