Join Lee Sanders LIVE as we break down everything from WWE RAW 9/8/25 and the latest in wrestling news. Don't miss the reactions, reviews, and real talk covering tonight's biggest stories:
Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly deep dive into everything happening across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, ROH, and beyond. Episode 141 covers a packed slate of returns, retirements, controversies, and major updates shaping the wrestling world. We begin with the biggest story of the week: AJ Lee's long-awaited WWE return. On SmackDown in Chicago, Lee appeared for the first time in a decade to confront Becky Lynch, dropping her with a Thesz press before celebrating with CM Punk. We'll cover the industry-wide reactions, from Saraya and Bayley to the official MLB account, and discuss WWE's reported plans to team Lee and Punk against Lynch and Seth Rollins at Wrestlepalooza. Next, we turn to John Cena's farewell tour, where his final stop in Chicago ended with a surprise Brock Lesnar return that set up their Wrestlepalooza main event. While many speculated Boston would host his retirement match, it has now been confirmed that Cena's final match will take place on December 13 in Washington, D.C. at Saturday Night's Main Event. We'll run through his remaining schedule and reflect on what this moment means for one of WWE's greatest stars. From there, we shift to AEW, where Will Ospreay is set for neck surgery that will sideline him for months after battling through injuries at Forbidden Door. We'll also look at AEW's evolving PPV strategy, as All Out becomes the first AEW show available on HBO Max at a discounted $39.99, and the start time has been moved up to 3 p.m. Eastern to avoid a direct clash with WWE's Wrestlepalooza. With Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. FTR the first announced match, we discuss the significance of this new distribution model and what it means for AEW's future. On the WWE side, AJ Styles continues to tease retirement, posting a symbolic hourglass graphic as reports confirm his contract expires in early 2026. Meanwhile, Chris Jericho addressed his AEW future, saying he's open to a WWE return once his current deal concludes at year's end. We unpack how both men are positioning their final career chapters. Finally, we examine Matt Riddle's latest controversy, as he no-showed Global Wrestling Kingdom's debut charity event in the UK, only to wrestle unadvertised in Florida the same day. With conflicting accounts between Riddle and the promotion, we review the fallout, his repayment of the deposit, and what this means for his standing on the independent circuit. All this plus updates from across the industry as WWE and AEW prepare for one of the most pivotal months of the year. Be sure to support the show at patreon.com/theturnbuckletavern for exclusive content, and follow us on social media @TurnbuckleTavern for all the latest updates. Until next Monday, when we wine and dine with you kings and queens, stay out of the alley and away from the pork and beans: good luck and good speed.

There are few names that stir up as much debate in wrestling right now as Logan Paul. This week, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver dig deep into the rise of the social media star turned WWE United States Champion, and what it really means for the business when someone from the outside not only steps in, but thrives. Kevin isn't shy about calling out what works, what doesn't, and why the energy drink logo on Logan's gear may be just as important as the moves he hits in the ring. From the spectacle of PRIME-sponsored entrances to the reality of locker room politics, Kevin breaks down what Logan's presence does to the culture behind the curtain. Sean presses on whether Logan has earned his place or if the company is simply cashing in on the spectacle. The conversation pulls no punches, balancing respect for athleticism with the veteran's instinct to protect what wrestling is supposed to stand for. But the show doesn't stay locked on Logan. Kevin shares wild road stories about working alongside celebrities of the past, the way crossover stars were handled in the 90s, and why some were embraced while others never made it past novelty status. The guys use those memories to draw sharper lines around what's happening today, and why Logan's case might be different from all the rest. From there, the conversation stretches wider. Sean brings up recent headlines in WWE, from Becky Lynch's latest promo firestorm to shifts in how the company markets its biggest stars. Kevin offers blunt, unfiltered takes that connect the dots between hype, respect, and the thin line between building heat and losing credibility. As always, the discussion doesn't stay predictable. Faith, family, and the lessons Kevin keeps pulling from his years in and out of the spotlight come into play. The show ends up moving from PRIME bottles to prime years of the NBA, from the chaos of influencer culture to the quiet reflection that comes with perspective. It's another Monday morning with Big Sexy, and once again, his honesty cuts through all the noise. Get Blitzed-Save 15% at Get-Blitzed.com by entering the code KLIQ at checkout.

The AEW freaks melt down because she didn't sign with their little indie circus. Sad! Jake Hager exposed Tony Khan and AEW in an incredible truth rampage — you love to see it. Kenny Omega?

That's called backing out, folks!We also talk about Rampage Jackson standing up for his son after Raja's disgraceful attack on Syko Stu — a truly low-energy move. Speaking of which, great news: Syko Stu is out of the hospital and doing okay — we're rooting for you, buddy!Newsflash: Chris Jericho's AEW contract is almost up, and the buzz is real. Matt Riddle is on a rampage — or maybe just ranting — and telling some wild stories. Brock Lesnar surprised the world, returning to SmackDown and absolutely DESTROYING John Cena. And finally — Ronda Rousey is retiring. Best of luck, Ronda, we'll see how long that lasts!Then we break down WWE Clash in Paris — an incredible event:Bronson Reed vs. Roman Reigns — Massive men, huge fight.Wyatt Sicks vs. Street Profits — Spooky, chaotic, beautiful.Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Bella — Women's wrestling at its absolute best.Rusev vs. Sheamus — It was a Donnybrook, folks.

No need to wish You were here just join us live this Friday for the return of both our guests. First coming in from the Dark Side Of the Moon keyboardist Matt Riddle from the Pink Floyd tribute band @BritFloyd we had a great time when they were last in town This time will be more epic because they are playing at the legendary red rocks amphitheater June 6th here in Colorado. It's gonna be a busy week as we will be rolling straight into the @Dudegrows cup and the @hashbash25 weekend. We also have our old friend @Shiloh_Massive_1 coming in to ….let's be honest “Take over the Show” He's always entertaining and putting in the work with such bangers as * 4 Kings * Black Apple Hitchcock * Blue Z Burger * Cherry Impossible and many more. We have been friends since his first trip to the Dam and he has evolved from a young fresh kid to the swolled up tatted guy you see today. Anyone who knows him knows he would give the shirt off his back if needed and is always there to pull a homie up. These days you can find him doing Pheno Hunts with 1000's of plants , making waves whenever he can't ride them and being that Canna Family man that I can say with certainty ain't easy. We also have some late additions to the show some of the winners from last weeks @omgeventsllc Kush & Sour competition First we have Max from @fubar_organics out of the Hudson valley that took home the 1st place in Kush category and second in Chem Max is a fan of the show so he knows exactly what he's getting into. Second we have Eddy S aka @drherbshmengie who crushed it and took home 1st in the illustrious NY category of “SOUR” we will keep it short this week but we need to get the Dr back on to talk about his years running the infamous HP13 a strain that has about as much lore and shenanigans around it as the Sour. So get that @dabx GO rig charged your @jerome_baker bong Clean with some ice
