Episode 207 of Wrestling Tonight opens with a surprising WWE departure that appears to have come together very differently than many would have expected. Ilja Dragunov is leaving WWE, but the circumstances surrounding his exit make this much more interesting than a straightforward contract expiration. WWE reportedly wanted him to remain with the company, and the two sides were still having serious discussions about getting him back on television only a couple of months ago. So how did we go from negotiating a return to Dragunov becoming a free agent? We break down what is known about the timeline, where things apparently changed and what comes next for one of the most distinctive wrestlers to come through WWE in recent years. Then there is The Rock and WrestleMania 43. WWE is heading to Riyadh for WrestleMania next April, but a major commitment on Dwayne Johnson's schedule could make one of the biggest possibilities surrounding the show considerably more complicated. There is an important distinction between The Rock appearing at WrestleMania and actually wrestling at WrestleMania, and the latest information raises questions about whether there will realistically be enough time for the latter. We get into what his schedule looks like, why the timing matters and where that leaves WWE as the road to WrestleMania 43 begins to take shape. AEW All In is just days away, and we now have an updated look at how Wembley Stadium is filling up before Sunday. With Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay for the AEW World Championship at the top of the card, the latest ticket numbers give us a much clearer idea of the size of the crowd AEW could be looking at when the company returns to Wembley. We'll go through where ticket distribution currently stands, how that compares with the stadium setup and what AEW still has available heading into the final days before All In. And Wembley is not the only major European story for AEW. Grand Slam is heading to Paris, giving the company another significant international date and its first event in France. There are some notable details about when and where the show will take place, what AEW intends to tape that night and where it fits into the company's European schedule coming out of All In. We also have movement on the John Cena Classic, an event WWE announced months ago without providing many concrete details. A potential date has now emerged, and its placement on the calendar carries an obvious connection to Cena's retirement that is difficult to overlook. There are still unanswered questions about the location, the lineup and exactly how WWE plans to execute Cena's unusual fan-voting concept, but we finally may have an idea of when the event is actually happening. We'll get into the reported date, why it stands out and what Cena has said about making sure the fans legitimately determine the winner. Elsewhere, Royce Keys returned to Raw and brought OTM with him, immediately inserting the group into an already crowded situation involving The Usos, Solo Sikoa and LA Knight. Rather than choosing one side, Keys, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price made their intentions clear by going after everyone. We'll cover how WWE brought Keys back after his absence, the significance of OTM appearing alongside him and how recent developments involving Nima may have helped set up the new alliance. The Women's World Championship picture also has its next major match. Stephanie Vaquer now has a date with Liv Morgan, but Becky Lynch remains directly involved in the story after what happened on Raw. With Vaquer and Lynch both pursuing Morgan since returning after SummerSlam, WWE now has multiple directions it can take as the championship match approaches. And on SmackDown, WWE advertised Blake Monroe vs. Giulia, but fans are still waiting for Monroe's official SmackDown in-ring debut. Instead of giving away the match, WWE used the confrontation to push their rivalry another step forward. Their history goes beyond WWE, and what happened before the bell ensures there is still unfinished business between them. Episode 207 of Wrestling Tonight covers Ilja Dragunov's unexpected WWE exit and the negotiations that preceded it, the scheduling issue hanging over The Rock and WrestleMania 43, the latest numbers heading into AEW All In at Wembley, AEW's first trip to Paris and the potential date for the John Cena Classic. Plus, Royce Keys resurfaces with OTM, Stephanie Vaquer moves closer to the Women's World Championship and Blake Monroe and Giulia's rivalry takes another turn on SmackDown.  

WWE increased its momentum entering football season with a strong week of TV -- and Getting Over is here to break it down! Host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini open The Main Event [8:25] by detailing a segment-of-the-year contender featuring Chelsea Green that expanded to include GUNTHER, Tiffany Stratton and Fatal Influence with Jacy Jayne winning gold. The guys also discuss the ups and downs of CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens and intensity ratcheting up in Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton. "The Silver King" and "Vintage" then analyze The Good, The Bad and The Ugly [1:00:40] on Solo Sikoa and LA Knight standing tall over Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, Stephanie Vaquer being at odds with Becky Lynch while eyeing Liv Morgan, Penta legitimately contending for a world title, Sol Ruca defeating Lyra Valkyria, Paul Heyman's positioning in Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker, plus much more!

WWE SummerSlam 2026 delivered some great matches—but the booking left plenty to criticize. Liv Morgan retained her Women's World Championship, while Trick Williams lost the United States Championship to Baron Corbin in only six minutes, killing his momentum. Finn Balor also got lost in the No. 1 Contender chaos, while Kevin Owens returned and immediately jumped ahead of the SmackDown roster. Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar and appeared to receive the torch, but is WWE really ready to push Oba to the moon? CM Punk beat Cody Rhodes after Randy Orton's RKO interference, while Punk's risky moonsault attempt raised questions. The Bella Twins turning on Paige was predictable, Nick Aldis was made to look foolish, Danhausen was embarrassed, and Chelsea Green's title win raises questions about whether she's truly being pushed or simply used as a transitional champion. On the positive side, Penta vs. Chad Gable was one of the night's best matches, while Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins delivered another classic. Was SummerSlam a great show with terrible booking, or are fans being too critical?

This week on The A Show: There's fallout from Summerslam, a lot of fall out. Meelz and J5 spend a bulk of the episode discussing the two-night affair from Minnesota. They talk thoughts on Chelsea Green's win, Liv Morgan's title reign, Oba Femi's victory, Brock Lesnar's retirement, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns' main event, Punk vs. Cody, and more.

You know we love our wrestling here at the BFE—or, at least, some of us do. Join Ian from Best Film Ever and JDG as we once again break the traditional BFE format to review all two nights of WWE SummerSlam 2026. Did CM Punk and Cody Rhodes deliver in their battle for the Undisputed WWE Championship? Was Roman Reigns versus Seth Rollins a worthy main event—or have we seen these two fight one time too many? Did Oba Femi finally cement himself as WWE's next great monster by stepping inside Hell in a Cell with Brock Lesnar, and was this really the end of the road for The Beast? Ian and JDG also discuss whether Liv Morgan and IYO SKY lived up to expectations, the chaotic Interim Women's Championship ladder match, Kevin Owens' big return, and the increasingly bizarre world in which Danhausen is competing in a “Human Monies on a Pole” match at one of WWE's biggest shows of the year. Which matches stole the weekend? Which results left us scratching our heads? Did SummerSlam justify being stretched across two nights—and, most importantly, was it actually the biggest party of the summer? All this and more as BFE swaps cinema for suplexes and breaks down WWE SummerSlam 2026.

Pro wrestler Gianni Michael Emricko joins Sorg, Rizz and Mad Mike for an episode packed with WWE SummerSlam reactions, Pittsburgh independent wrestling news and a spoiler-heavy trip through Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The crew opens by asking a surprising question: Was SummerSlam more enjoyable than WrestleMania? They examine a second night filled with fan-service moments, major returns and championship developments. Topics include Chelsea Green's victory, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns seemingly closing another chapter of their shared history, CM Punk versus Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens returning to the championship picture, Nick Aldis stepping back into the ring, Dominik Mysterio's success in AAA and WWE's evolving relationship with lucha libre. Gianni also receives some major news live on the show. His scheduled match at Prospect Pro Wrestling has changed, and he and Gorgeous Gregory will now challenge The Troublemakers for the NWA JCP Tag Team Championship. Gianni responds with an impromptu message for the champions and explains why the Italian Strongman plans to bring NWA gold home. The conversation then turns toward Gianni's recent match with EFFY at 880 Wrestling, his growing list of appearances throughout the region and the practical lessons he has learned while building his wrestling career. His advice is simple: get in the car, attend shows, help with the ring and production, introduce yourself and become someone promoters and wrestlers enjoy having in the locker room. Sorg also reveals new details for Sorgstock, including a surprising battle between Psychedelic Dreams members Sammy Suntheimer and Billy the Alien, plus wrestling-theme music from Sykes. After an official spoiler warning, the crew dives deeply into Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Gianni gives the film a 9.6 and calls it one of the most authentically Spider-Man stories yet. The discussion covers Peter Parker's stripped-down life, the introduction of Jean Grey, Punisher's role, mutant technology, the Hulk battle, Ned's potentially significant handshake, Miles Morales speculation and possible connections to Secret Wars and the wider multiverse. The episode closes with the viral video of Beastman and Sam Adonis helping break up a festival fight, followed by “What We Learned,” where Mad Mike argues that WWE is misunderstanding the basic appeal of Joe Hendry. News Stories and Topics Discussed The original Mayhem crew reunites: Sorg welcomes Rizz and Mad Mike, with early conversation covering Mad Mike's LEGO Soundwave set, teaching and the increasingly responsible lives of the show's longtime hosts. SummerSlam versus WrestleMania: The panel considers whether SummerSlam delivered a more consistently entertaining weekend than WrestleMania. WWE production mistakes: A misspelled commercial-break graphic launches a discussion about live production errors, unrealistic expectations and why even major companies make visible mistakes. SummerSlam's fan-service-heavy second night: Chelsea Green's title victory, Baron Corbin's return and Kevin Owens reentering the championship picture make Sorg wonder whether someone secretly used his fantasy booking. Chelsea Green's championship moment: The crew celebrates Green's victory, the reaction from her fellow wrestlers and how her success contrasts with comments discussed from WWE: Unreal. Hell in a Cell: The match's violence, ring destruction and feud-ending atmosphere are praised as an effective use of the stipulation. Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns: The match is viewed as a possible closing chapter for The Shield, with particular interest in what comes next for Seth and a more independent Roman Reigns. Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar: Gianni offers a wrestler's perspective on the decision not to perform a dangerous spot directly onto exposed wood. Roman Reigns and AAA: Roman's interaction with Rey Mysterio creates fantasy-booking possibilities involving TripleMania, Worlds Collide, Penta, Jacob Fatu and The Lucha Brothers. Solo Sikoa's changing audience reaction: The hosts discuss how the SummerSlam build helped Solo emerge as an entertaining and increasingly sympathetic figure. Dominik Mysterio's popularity: The panel argues that Dominik feels like a major star in AAA and deserves a larger, more consistent role on WWE programming. Nick Aldis versus Gunther: Aldis' return to the ring impresses the crew and sparks speculation about a longer in-ring run or a future match with Adam Pearce. CM Punk versus Cody Rhodes: The match receives a more measured defense than some online reactions, while Kevin Owens' return sets up a potentially excellent microphone-driven rivalry with Punk. Nikki Bella's heel turn: A possible injury to Brie Bella leads to fantasy booking involving Paige, AJ Lee and a potential legends-focused WarGames match. Liv Morgan versus IYO SKY: The opening match and its finishing sequence are highlighted as one of the weekend's strongest performances. SummerSlam attendance and location: The crew discusses tarped seating, the lack of a public attendance announcement and whether Minneapolis was an ideal destination for a major summer wrestling event. Sorgstock announcement: Sammy Suntheimer will face his Psychedelic Dreams partner Billy the Alien, raising questions about tension inside the team. Gianni's championship opportunity: Gianni and Gorgeous Gregory will challenge The Troublemakers for the NWA JCP Tag Team Championship at Prospect Pro Wrestling. Gianni's live promo: The Italian Strongman immediately delivers a message promising that the NWA championship will not remain on Glenn Spectre's shoulder. Wrestling EFFY at 880 Wrestling: Gianni explains how the crowd quickly sided with EFFY, forcing him to adjust and embrace being the heel during the match. Breaking into new wrestling promotions: Gianni recommends traveling, introducing yourself, helping with setup and stepping outside your normal comfort zone. Locker-room reputation: Being positive, safe and helpful can be as important as social-media numbers when promoters decide whom they want to book again. Avoiding unhealthy environments: Gianni explains that a negative locker room—or a place where he does not feel safe in the ring—is unlikely to receive a return visit. Spider-Man spoiler discussion: The crew praises the film's grounded version of Peter Parker, swinging sequences, action choreography and emotional tone. Jean Grey and the mutants: The movie's mutant storyline leads to discussion of Jean Grey, Phoenix references, inhibitor technology and the future of the MCU's X-Men. Punisher's role: The panel examines Punisher's hospital scenes, his public identity and how he fits into a world where Spider-Man has regained public support. Ned and Peter's handshake: The hosts debate whether Ned consciously remembers Peter or simply feels a lingering connection that he cannot explain. Miles Morales and the multiverse: Potential clues are connected to Beyond the Spider-Verse, Doomsday, Secret Wars and the possibility of Miles eventually entering live action. Marvel physical media: Mad Mike displays elaborate Marvel and Harry Potter box sets, prompting nostalgia for collector editions filled with props, files and hidden compartments. Additional movie discussion: The crew briefly reviews Backrooms, Obsession, Eternals, New Mutants, the Fox X-Men films and the Spider-Man video games. Beastman goes viral again: Video from Tacos and Tequila shows Beastman and Sam Adonis helping break up a real fight, inspiring the suggestion that venues should hire Beastman as security. What We Learned Sorg: Never start a fight when Beastman is nearby. After watching the viral festival video, Sorg's larger conclusion is that Beastman may be the most effective security option available. Gianni Michael Emricko: Gianni learns the full details of his changed Prospect Pro Wrestling match during the episode. He and Gorgeous Gregory are receiving an NWA JCP Tag Team Championship opportunity, and Gianni confidently predicts that Glenn Spectre will not leave with his championship. Mad Mike: From Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Mike learns that it is okay to be sad. From wrestling, he learns that WWE appears confused about Joe Hendry. He argues that Hendry's entire presentation is built around “say his name and he appears,” yet WWE repeatedly brings him out without anyone saying his name, cuts away from his entrance and presents his musical segments more like Elias. Mike believes this removes the elements audiences are already excited to see. Rizz: Rizz does not give a separate standalone lesson in the closing segment, but contributes to the discussion about WWE failing to preserve the established logic and audience appeal of Joe Hendry's character.

Pro wrestler Gianni Michael Emricko joins Sorg, Rizz and Mad Mike for an episode packed with WWE SummerSlam reactions, Pittsburgh independent wrestling news and a spoiler-heavy trip through Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The crew opens by asking a surprising question: Was SummerSlam more enjoyable than WrestleMania? They examine a second night filled with fan-service moments, major returns and championship developments. Topics include Chelsea Green's victory, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns seemingly closing another chapter of their shared history, CM Punk versus Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens returning to the championship picture, Nick Aldis stepping back into the ring, Dominik Mysterio's success in AAA and WWE's evolving relationship with lucha libre. Gianni also receives some major news live on the show. His scheduled match at Prospect Pro Wrestling has changed, and he and Gorgeous Gregory will now challenge The Troublemakers for the NWA JCP Tag Team Championship. Gianni responds with an impromptu message for the champions and explains why the Italian Strongman plans to bring NWA gold home. The conversation then turns toward Gianni's recent match with EFFY at 880 Wrestling, his growing list of appearances throughout the region and the practical lessons he has learned while building his wrestling career. His advice is simple: get in the car, attend shows, help with the ring and production, introduce yourself and become someone promoters and wrestlers enjoy having in the locker room. Sorg also reveals new details for Sorgstock, including a surprising battle between Psychedelic Dreams members Sammy Suntheimer and Billy the Alien, plus wrestling-theme music from Sykes. After an official spoiler warning, the crew dives deeply into Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Gianni gives the film a 9.6 and calls it one of the most authentically Spider-Man stories yet. The discussion covers Peter Parker's stripped-down life, the introduction of Jean Grey, Punisher's role, mutant technology, the Hulk battle, Ned's potentially significant handshake, Miles Morales speculation and possible connections to Secret Wars and the wider multiverse. The episode closes with the viral video of Beastman and Sam Adonis helping break up a festival fight, followed by “What We Learned,” where Mad Mike argues that WWE is misunderstanding the basic appeal of Joe Hendry. News Stories and Topics Discussed The original Mayhem crew reunites: Sorg welcomes Rizz and Mad Mike, with early conversation covering Mad Mike's LEGO Soundwave set, teaching and the increasingly responsible lives of the show's longtime hosts. SummerSlam versus WrestleMania: The panel considers whether SummerSlam delivered a more consistently entertaining weekend than WrestleMania. WWE production mistakes: A misspelled commercial-break graphic launches a discussion about live production errors, unrealistic expectations and why even major companies make visible mistakes. SummerSlam's fan-service-heavy second night: Chelsea Green's title victory, Baron Corbin's return and Kevin Owens reentering the championship picture make Sorg wonder whether someone secretly used his fantasy booking. Chelsea Green's championship moment: The crew celebrates Green's victory, the reaction from her fellow wrestlers and how her success contrasts with comments discussed from WWE: Unreal. Hell in a Cell: The match's violence, ring destruction and feud-ending atmosphere are praised as an effective use of the stipulation. Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns: The match is viewed as a possible closing chapter for The Shield, with particular interest in what comes next for Seth and a more independent Roman Reigns. Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar: Gianni offers a wrestler's perspective on the decision not to perform a dangerous spot directly onto exposed wood. Roman Reigns and AAA: Roman's interaction with Rey Mysterio creates fantasy-booking possibilities involving TripleMania, Worlds Collide, Penta, Jacob Fatu and The Lucha Brothers. Solo Sikoa's changing audience reaction: The hosts discuss how the SummerSlam build helped Solo emerge as an entertaining and increasingly sympathetic figure. Dominik Mysterio's popularity: The panel argues that Dominik feels like a major star in AAA and deserves a larger, more consistent role on WWE programming. Nick Aldis versus Gunther: Aldis' return to the ring impresses the crew and sparks speculation about a longer in-ring run or a future match with Adam Pearce. CM Punk versus Cody Rhodes: The match receives a more measured defense than some online reactions, while Kevin Owens' return sets up a potentially excellent microphone-driven rivalry with Punk. Nikki Bella's heel turn: A possible injury to Brie Bella leads to fantasy booking involving Paige, AJ Lee and a potential legends-focused WarGames match. Liv Morgan versus IYO SKY: The opening match and its finishing sequence are highlighted as one of the weekend's strongest performances. SummerSlam attendance and location: The crew discusses tarped seating, the lack of a public attendance announcement and whether Minneapolis was an ideal destination for a major summer wrestling event. Sorgstock announcement: Sammy Suntheimer will face his Psychedelic Dreams partner Billy the Alien, raising questions about tension inside the team. Gianni's championship opportunity: Gianni and Gorgeous Gregory will challenge The Troublemakers for the NWA JCP Tag Team Championship at Prospect Pro Wrestling. Gianni's live promo: The Italian Strongman immediately delivers a message promising that the NWA championship will not remain on Glenn Spectre's shoulder. Wrestling EFFY at 880 Wrestling: Gianni explains how the crowd quickly sided with EFFY, forcing him to adjust and embrace being the heel during the match.

Episode 201 is headlined by our complete review of WWE SummerSlam 2026 as we're joined by JBugz from Rawdown to break down both nights of WWE's biggest event of the summer. From CM Punk retaining the Undisputed WWE Championship and Oba Femi defeating Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell to Kevin Owens' shocking return, Chelsea Green becoming Interim Women's Champion, Chad Gable finally capturing his first singles championship, and Roman Reigns defeating Seth Rollins to retain the World Heavyweight Championship in the final chapter of their legendary rivalry, we cover every major match, surprise and storyline coming out of Minneapolis. We begin with Night 1, discussing Liv Morgan's successful Women's World Championship defense against Iyo Sky after her first title defense in roughly 100 days, LA Knight, Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys defeating Jacob Fatu and The Usos, Gunther submitting Nick Aldis in his first match back after three years, and Fatal Influence picking up the victory before The Bella Twins shocked everyone by turning on Paige. We also break down CM Punk's dramatic title defense over Cody Rhodes following Randy Orton's surprise return, the controversy surrounding the Night 1 main event, and Oba Femi defeating Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell before receiving Lesnar's public endorsement as the future of WWE. Next, we shift our attention to Night 2 as Kevin Owens made his long-awaited in-ring return following neck surgery and immediately earned an Undisputed WWE Championship opportunity by winning a surprise Fatal Four-Way over Sami Zayn, Finn Bálor and Gunther. We also discuss Baron Corbin capturing the United States Championship from Trick Williams, Chelsea Green winning the Interim WWE Women's Championship in a chaotic Ladder Match, Danhausen defeating Dominik Mysterio in the Human Monies on a Pole Match, Chad Gable finally winning his first WWE singles championship by defeating Penta for the Intercontinental Championship in front of his hometown crowd, and Roman Reigns retaining the World Heavyweight Championship over Seth Rollins in an emotional 33-minute main event that ended with one final Shield fist bump between the longtime rivals. From there, we discuss Triple H's post-show comments, the Randy Orton factor heading into the Undisputed WWE Championship picture, Kevin Owens immediately becoming CM Punk's next challenger, what Roman Reigns' victory means after finally closing the book on his rivalry with Seth Rollins, Oba Femi's continued rise as one of WWE's biggest stars, what the weekend accomplished creatively, where WWE succeeded, where it fell short, and what SummerSlam means for the road ahead.

WWE is showing up on ESPN like it belongs there, and we think it does. Mike Marcangelo is joined by Zachary Gray to talk about why pro wrestling fits the “Entertainment Sports Programming Network” label perfectly, and why seeing WWE treated like a real sports property feels strangely validating for fans who've heard “you know it's fake, right?” for years.From there, we go match by match through a stacked SummerSlam 2026 preview as the event heads to two nights in Minneapolis. We get into CM Punk vs Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship, what makes Punk's promos feel real, and the one outcome that would genuinely frustrate us. We also dig into Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins and why the Shield rivalry still hits so hard a decade later, plus how a Rock return could instantly change the entire WWE main event picture.The undercard talk gets spicy too: the interim women's ladder match (and why it could be a beautiful disaster), Liv Morgan vs Iyo Sky, Brock Lesnar vs Oba in Hell in a Cell, and the kind of gimmick match that makes even die-hard fans sigh. If you're building your watch list, we also call out potential show-stealers like Penta vs Chad Gable and Gunther vs Nick Aldis.If you like smart wrestling talk with real opinions, hit play, subscribe, and share the show with a friend.

SummerSlam predictions are HERE! I'm breaking down every match on the SummerSlam match card — including Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins, CM Punk vs Cody Rhodes, Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi in Hell in a Cell, IYO SKY vs Liv Morgan, Gunther vs Nick Aldis, and more — sharing who I think wins and WHY. I cover the full build to each match, the storylines heading in, and my final picks for every championship and rivalry on the card. Let me know your predictions in the comments!  

Farace, Tim, and Anthony are back for Episode 141 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct, and this week the sports world apparently needed a babysitter. The NBA offseason went completely off the rails, Tony Romo found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, the NFL offseason keeps handing out pressure points, the WNBA All-Star weekend gave us great basketball and some league-office weirdness, MLB trade deadline rumors are heating up, and SummerSlam is sitting there looking like the calmest thing on the board. Which is insane, because it's wrestling.We start with the NBA, because honestly, how could we not? Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis are headed to Miami, Jaylen Brown and LeBron James are now in Philadelphia, Paul George is in Boston, Kawhi Leonard is back in Toronto, Ja Morant is in Portland, LaMelo Ball is in Minnesota, Julius Randle is in Brooklyn, and Mitchell Robinson somehow ended up with the Celtics because apparently Knicks fans were too happy and the universe had to fix that. Andre Drummond is now in New York, Austin Reaves got paid, Trae Young stayed put, and every fanbase is currently pretending their front office had a master plan instead of a Red Bull and a trade machine.Then we jump to the NFL, where Tony Romo's DUI situation leads the conversation before the guys get into the bigger offseason picture. Kyle Shanahan has more pressure, Baker Mayfield has more questions, Brandon Aiyuk's future is still hanging around, and teams around the league are trying to convince everyone their offseason moves solved everything. Very cute. Very July. Let's check back when somebody is 2-4 and blaming the coordinator.The WNBA All-Star Game also gets some time, with Jonquel Jones taking MVP honors and the league creating its own unnecessary side drama after posting and deleting a video tied to Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese, and a friendly wager. Great basketball, more attention than ever, and then the league office decided to step on a rake in public. Impressive range.Baseball gets its turn with the MLB trade deadline approaching and big names floating around. Tarik Skubal, Robbie Ray, Freddy Peralta, Mason Miller, Luis Arráez, Eugenio Suárez, Luis Robert Jr., George Springer, and plenty more could be part of the deadline madness. Contenders need pitching, sellers want ridiculous returns, and Mets names being involved means Farace is probably going to suffer at least once during this segment. Tradition matters.And then there's SummerSlam, with CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi inside Hell in a Cell, Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY, Penta vs. Chad Gable, and enough chaos across both nights to make wrestling Twitter unbearable before the first bell even rings. Which, to be fair, is kind of the point.So Episode 141 has it all: NBA trade chaos, LeBron in Philly, Giannis in Miami, Romo headlines, NFL offseason drama, WNBA All-Star buzz, MLB deadline rumors, and SummerSlam madness. Farace, Tim, and Anthony are locked in, the takes will be loud, the patience will be low, and somebody is absolutely going to defend a terrible opinion long after the rest of the room has moved on.Business as usual.#NBA #NFL #MLBTradeDeadline #SummerSlam #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #PopCulturePros
