Wrestling Soup: WarGames 2025 - The "Vision" is BlurryJoe Numbas, Anthony, and Jon Draper (@iamjondraper @spitball_media) break down a chaotic night at Petco Park where cages were locked, legends were embarrassed, and masked men ruined the finish. We're NOT a wrestling show, we're a show that happens to witness John Cena get hit in the yam bag.Women's WarGames (The "Nostalgia" Pop): AJ Lee proves she can still go (and make people tap), Iyo Sky attempts to murder herself with a trash can dive, and Team Ripley picks up the win over Team "Why is Lash Legend here?".The Retirement Tour Detour: John Cena does the honors for Dominik Mysterio. We discuss the "passing of the torch" (or just passing of the heat) and whether Dom actually needs the Intercontinental Title.Liv Morgan's "Shocking" Return: The swerve that wasn't really a swerve. Liv returns, teases a face turn, and immediately low-blows Cena. The Judgment Day soap opera continues forever.Stephanie Vaquer vs. Nikki Bella: A match that happened. Vaquer retains the Women's World Title, and we question if the "Bella Army" still has any recruits left in 2025.Men's WarGames (Old Guard vs. The Vision): The "Bloodline & Friends" reunion tour hits a wall. Brock Lesnar collects a massive paycheck to throw a few suplexes, and The Vision (Breakker, Reed, McIntyre, Logan Paul) actually gets the win.The Masked Man Mystery: Who helped Bron Breakker pin CM Punk? Was it Seth? Austin Theory? We fantasy book the worst possible options and complain about interference finishes in a cage match.Final Thoughts: Was this "Cinema" or just a very long episode of Raw with a fence?Listen to the show that HAPPENS to talk about wrestling.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.

Welcome to Episode 152 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers — code TAVERN saves you 20%. Full Gear 2025 leaves AEW in a very different place than it entered. Samoa Joe left the steel cage as AEW World Champion after HOOK's unexpected alignment swung the match, and Swerve Strickland's return immediately complicated the fallout by standing beside Hangman Page. Across the rest of the card, several wrestlers shifted their standing at once: PAC reasserted himself, FTR and Brodido delivered one of the night's most reliable performances, Kyle O'Reilly submitted Jon Moxley again, Mark Briscoe fought through an exhausting challenge to become TNT Champion, and Kris Statlander recorded the biggest win of her run. With Neón's debut and a high-stakes trios match added to the mix, AEW used the event to create new directions rather than reinforce the old ones. WWE, meanwhile, is closing in on Survivor Series with every major angle converging at once. The WarGames lineups are finalized, AJ Lee's return has shifted alliances, Becky Lynch has crossed brands, and both Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns made their presence felt in Madison Square Garden. John Cena preparing to defend the Intercontinental Title against Dominik Mysterio in San Diego, Nikki Bella's first heel turn in years, and a suddenly active Women's World Title picture all add layers heading into WWE's first outdoor Survivor Series at Petco Park. Running alongside that build is the "Last Time Is Now" tournament, which finally settled its quarterfinal field — Gunther, Carmelo Hayes, Solo Sikoa, Penta, Jey Uso, Rusev, LA Knight, and The Miz — all moving one step closer to Cena's retirement match. Beyond WWE and AEW, TNA is deep in media-rights talks with AMC while expanding into most of Latin America, GCW named Atticus Cogar its new world champion, Laynie Luck arrived in WWE ID with a title already in hand, and Jacy Jayne reclaimed the NXT Women's Championship. It's one of those weeks where every promotion is making moves that appear designed for the long term, not just the show in front of them.

Was this the right time for her to dethrone the reigning champion, or was the match outcome overshadowed by controversy and outside interference?

With the surprising returns of long-time fan favorites like Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona) and Dolph Ziggler (Nic Nemeth) to compete for the final spot against Cena, has the tournament been a success... or an outright failure?

Acefield Retro & Chad are here for episode 149 to discuss all things pro wrestling. Salt Lake City's Saturday Night's Main Event captured WWE's late-2025 identity. CM Punk's World Heavyweight Championship win over Jey Uso gave the company a new anchor at the top, Cody Rhodes retained his Undisputed Championship in another clean, composed defense, and Jade Cargill officially began her reign as WWE Women's Champion by ending Tiffany Stratton's impressive year-long run. Dominik Mysterio continued his momentum with a smart, character-driven Intercontinental Title defense against Penta and Rusev. Seth Rollins confirmed a six-month recovery timeline following shoulder surgery after his Crown Jewel: Perth injury, officially ruling him out until spring 2026. WWE's creative direction remains centered on continuity, with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed leading The Vision and the CM Punk–Roman Reigns alliance giving the upcoming Survivor Series: WarGames an established focal point. John Cena officially announced his final match will take place on Saturday Night's Main Event December 13 in Washington, D.C., closing a twenty-year career where it began. A 16-man cross-brand tournament will determine his last opponent, and as Cena teased, "not everyone in this tournament works here yet." Reports suggest Gunther is the favorite to face him, potentially setting up one last "passing of the torch" moment before Cena's retirement. Over in AEW, Tony Khan confirmed both lineups for Blood & Guts, set for November 12 in Greensboro. The men's match will see The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Mark Briscoe, Roderick Strong, and Darby Allin) face The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, and PAC), while the first-ever women's Blood & Guts match will feature Mercedes Moné, Megan Bayne, Marina Shafir, Thekla, Julia Hart, and Skye Blue battling Kris Statlander, Toni Storm, Harley Cameron, Jamie Hayter, Queen Aminata, and Willow Nightingale. Meanwhile, Full Gear is beginning to take shape with Hangman Page vs. Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship, Kris Statlander vs. Mercedes Moné for the Women's World Title, and FTR vs. Brodido for the Tag Titles among the confirmed bouts. AEW's focus on faction warfare, long-form storytelling, and cross-promotional balance continues to define its late-year build. Elsewhere, Chelsea Green signed a new five-year WWE deal through 2030 and is set to challenge for the AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles alongside Ethan Page at AAA Alianzas. Across the industry, promotions are closing the year by emphasizing stability, continuity, and legacy rather than volatility — a trend that defines wrestling's current moment as much as any title change. It was a week that highlighted structure over shock, balance over chaos, and transition over turbulence — a calm before what could be a seismic close to 2025 across all major promotions.

It Doesn’t Matter Podcast

In this episode, the hosts take a deep dive into WWE's No Mercy 2002, a night filled with chaos, controversy, and unforgettable storytelling. They revisit the wild and often absurd storylines of the era, including the notorious Katie Vick angle, while examining the evolution of characters like Kane and the manipulative influence of Stephanie McMahon. The conversation also explores standout matches such as RVD vs. Ric Flair, the tag team showdown between Edge & Rey Mysterio and Chris Benoit & Kurt Angle, and the impactful women's bout between Trish Stratus and Victoria. The hosts share personal memories from 2002, reflect on the importance of the Intercontinental Championship, and break down the dramatic clash between Kane and Triple H. The discussion concludes with an in-depth look at the brutal Hell in a Cell battle between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker—cementing Lesnar's rise as WWE's top star.

We have at least one contender for worst match of the year, as about 1200 pounds square off in the form of King Mabel vs. Yokozuna. Shawn Michaels got beat up in Syracuse before this one, so he comes out to relinquish his Intercontinental Title to Dean Douglas. The Dougler defends against the Bad Guy Razor Ramon, who looks to become the first four time holder of the gold.

On Episode 130 of Wrestling Tonight, we trace the line between spectacle and volatility as WWE prepares to stage Night of Champions in one of the most geopolitically tense environments the company has ever operated in. The event, set for June 28 in Riyadh, features John Cena vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship—a match built on personal history, philosophical tension, and, now, moral ambiguity. Punk, once the most outspoken critic of WWE's Saudi partnership, now finds himself at the center of it. And while the match is poised to be a classic, the backdrop is far from fiction. Just days ago, the U.S. launched Operation Midnight Hammer, a bombing campaign on Iranian nuclear sites. Iran responded by vowing “everlasting consequences,” placing a target—symbolic or otherwise—on every American in the region. The UK government has issued active travel advisories, commercial flights have diverted around Iranian airspace, and yet, WWE is undeterred. The official statement is measured: “monitoring the situation.” But the unofficial stance is louder: we're going. With the 2026 Royal Rumble scheduled for Saudi Arabia, and WWE's billion-dollar deal with the Kingdom intact, there's little room for second thoughts. We explore the Formula 1 precedent, where missile fire near the circuit didn't stop the show, and how this moment once again pits corporate confidence against real-world caution. Meanwhile, Cena added fuel to the fire with a SmackDown promo that didn't just build the match—it dismantled Punk. Echoing Punk's own iconic Pipe Bomb from 2011, Cena turned the mirror around, calling Punk a hypocrite, “Mr. TKO,” and a man who peaked "seven minutes, fourteen years ago." It was biting, meta, and signaled that this isn't just a title defense—it's an ideological showdown. The rest of the Night of Champions card offers serious implications: Jacob Fatu defends the U.S. Championship against Solo Sikoa in a grudge match born from Bloodline fractures Dominik Mysterio puts the Intercontinental Title on the line against AJ Styles in a collision of lineage and legacy Randy Orton awaits Cody Rhodes or Jey Uso in the King of the Ring Final, with a SummerSlam title shot hanging in the balance Asuka stands tall in the Queen of the Ring Final, but will face either Jade Cargill or Roxanne Perez to earn her crown Beyond the Kingdom, WWE also confirmed a long-rumored farewell: Goldberg's final match will take place July 12 in Atlanta, facing Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. After years of unfinished business and polarizing returns, Goldberg finally goes out on his own terms—with his son Gage by his side. We break down why this match matters, and why it may be the right curtain call. Over in TNA, the Order 4 civil war escalates as Cedric Alexander makes his surprise debut, confronting Mustafa Ali and drawing battle lines inside the most unstable faction in the company. With Jason Hotch re-signing and Skyler caught in the crossfire, TNA quietly continues to tell one of the strongest faction stories in wrestling today. Also in this episode: Stephanie McMahon calls Vince “his own biggest nemesis”, as lawsuits and new ventures define his post-WWE chapter SmackDown returns to two hours starting July 4, ending a brief and polarizing experiment Los Garza win AAA Tag Team gold at Triplemania Regia in their hometown of Monterrey Mercedes Moné wins the CMLL Women's Championship but is ambushed by Toni Storm as their All In collision looms Jon Moxley & AEW sued over an unscripted incident from a 2023 Dynamite taping Tony Khan weighs in on AEW's future amid Warner Bros. Discovery's corporate split Hook confirms his concussion, but says a return is near From Riyadh to Atlanta, TNA's tapings in Pittsburgh to AEW's shifting alliances, this week in wrestling isn't just about matches—it's about how much risk this industry is willing to shoulder in the name of business, legacy, and control.

On Episode 128 of Wrestling Tonight, we're breaking down an absolutely jam-packed weekend across the wrestling landscape, featuring shocking returns, deathmatch glory, interpromotional clashes, and championship shakeups. WWE Money in the Bank 2025 saw Seth Rollins reemerge atop the men's division by capturing the briefcase in a wild ladder match, while Naomi completed her comeback story with a hard-fought win to secure the women's briefcase. John Cenahad the match under control but the real story came after, when a hooded attacker laid him out and unmasked as R-Truth, fresh off a reported release just days earlier. Triple H brushed it off post-show, saying only: “It's all part of the show.” Becky Lynch reclaimed the Women's IC Championship under dubious circumstances, and Dominik Mysterio narrowly retained the Intercontinental Title against AAA's Octagon Jr. TNA Against All Odds 2025 delivered major fallout from the Slammiversary build, with Nic Nemeth defending the TNA World Championship in a chaotic three-way, Ash By Elegance continuing her dominance, and Joe Hendry vowing revenge after dropping the Digital Media title. WWE x AAA: Worlds Collide brought dream matches to life in Los Angeles, headlined by El Hijo del Vikingo successfully defending the AAA Mega Championship against Chad Gable in a breathtaking main event. Ethan Page retained the North American Title in a frantic four-way, Legado del Fantasma topped Psycho Clown's trio, and Stephanie Vaquer & Lola Vice scored a big win over Dalys & Chik Tormenta. Dominik and Octagon Jr.'s post-match brawl set up their MITB showdown. GCW's Tournament of Survival X finally saw Matt Tremont capture the one prize that had eluded him, running the table in a brutal night of deathmatches and retaining the GCW Ultraviolent Title throughout. Tremont defeated Jimmy Lloyd and Shotzi Blackheart (who made her surprise indie return) in the opening round, Bobby Beverly in the semis, and Otis Cogar in the finals. Shotzi's deathmatch return turned heads and made a loud statement just weeks after her WWE contract expired. Also covered: Shotzi's indie schedule heats up with GCW Japan, MLW, PROGRESS, and Hoodslam WWE's evolving relationship with AAA and the future of cross-promotional events Fan backlash to the R-Truth “release” and whether WWE reversed course in response Subscribe to Wrestling Tonight on YouTube and all podcast platforms, and follow us @TurnbuckleTavern for all the latest headlines across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, GCW, and beyond.

Ryan and Cindy roll on, hitting the Judgment Day 2000 PPV. In this edition we go to Louisville for a nice six match card, culminating in a classic Iron Man match. Among the topics we discuss: Focus on how the upper card is still the McMahon Helmsley Faction taking on the Rock and Friends.  The evolution of Edge & Christian into full pretty-boy heels and their budding friendship with Kurt Angle to form Team ECK.  Too Cool and Rikishi taking on the mantle of big show openers.  The continued growth of Eddie Guerrero along his Mamacita.  Fun garbage brawl between Shane McMahon and Big Show. The Intercontinental Title hot potato between Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit, culminating in a Submission match. X-Pac and Road Dogg, still being confused for main eventers, take on the Dudley Boys in a table match and need Gerald Brisco's help to gain a victory. The Rock and Triple H face off in an Iron Man match, with Shawn Michaels and his booty shorts refereeing.  The psychology of the Iron Man match and how it stacks up against previous Iron Man matches.   The Undertaker returns and looks a bit different.  KId Rock lending the Undertaker his new theme music, his performance on Raw and Cindy learning about Joe C.
