Tony Khan was defiant about AEW's timeslot but eventually moved ALL OUT to 3 PM instead of the usual 8 PM start. With AEW known for running nearly five hours of action, will fans be too burned out to watch WWE later that night?

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly look at everything happening across WWE, AEW, ROH, and beyond. Episode 140 dives into one of the busiest weeks of the year as WWE made its debut in Paris, AEW confirmed a major injury update, and ROH delivered a newsworthy Death Before Dishonor. We begin with a full recap of WWE Clash in Paris. Roman Reigns defeated Bronson Reed, but the aftermath stole the spotlight as Reigns attacked Paul Heyman before being dismantled by Reed and Bron Breakker. Reigns was left strapped to a stretcher, starting the night with one of the most striking visuals WWE has produced all year. The card also saw Rusev forcing Sheamus to submit in a violent Donnybrook, John Cena outlasting Logan Paul in one of his final major singles matches and Seth Rollins retaining the World Heavyweight Championship in a four-way after Becky Lynch interfered against CM Punk. Rollins and Lynch stood tall together to close the show as a heel power couple, setting the stage for a new direction in WWE's main event scene. From there, we look at AEW. Swerve Strickland underwent knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus, leaving his status uncertain for the rest of 2025. The news arrives as reports suggest AEW pay-per-views may soon be available on HBO Max, a potential move that would reshape the company's distribution model and give fans broader access to its biggest shows. In Lyon, Sami Zayn gave the French crowd a memorable moment by defeating Solo Sikoa to win the United States Championship for the first time. With Jacob Fatu's return evening the odds, Zayn finally captured singles gold again and celebrated one of the defining victories of his career in front of an electric audience. We close with ROH Death Before Dishonor. Despite streaming issues that led to the event being made free on YouTube, the show delivered significant results. Shane Taylor Promotions captured the Six-Man Tag Titles after Sammy Guevara turned on The Von Erichs to join LFI. Bandido retained the World Championship in his return, Athena and Lee Moriarty each extended their reigns, and Paul Walter Hauser made an in-ring appearance that paid tribute to his wrestling influences. Episode 140 captures a week where every major promotion made headlines: WWE left Paris with shifting alliances and new storylines, AEW balanced injury news with potential streaming expansion, Sami Zayn delivered a career milestone in Lyon, and ROH overcame technical challenges to put forward meaningful outcomes.

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Jairo Borja, President and CEO of Borja Consulting Group, to explore how he's helping both entrepreneurs and nonprofits scale their impact. Dr. Borja shared details about his 90-Day Mastery Program—designed specifically for coaches and consultants ready to level up—and his curriculum development work with nonprofits focused on entrepreneurship. He also talked about his latest book, DealMaker: How to Easily Raise the Limit of Capital Deals, which has opened new speaking opportunities and platforms to share his knowledge. And yes, we even took a nostalgic detour back to our teenage years, remembering the long wait in line for WrestleMania 3 tickets during a frigid winter. Unexpected Wins from Group Sessions I shared how group coaching sessions often produce unexpected breakthroughs. Many participants, after just 9 weeks, find themselves launching businesses or uncovering opportunities they never planned for. The group environment fosters connection, networking, and accountability—elements that spark real momentum and transformation in a short amount of time. The Power of Accountability and Support in Coaching We dove into the structure and benefits of group coaching—weekly lessons, community support, and ongoing dialogue through platforms like WhatsApp. These elements keep participants engaged and focused. I stressed how small wins—like acting on a downloaded tool or applying a new framework—often lead to big shifts. Group coaching isn't just about content; it's about action and growth, powered by community. And yes, I couldn't resist comparing the coach's role to Paul Heyman's legendary presence in wrestling—because every great performer needs a strategic voice in their corner. Mentorship and Peer Support: Game Changers for Growth We highlighted how peer support and mentorship aren't just nice-to-haves—they're often the missing piece that unlocks major breakthroughs. I shared personal stories where relationships and guidance made all the difference, especially in scaling nonprofit and business initiatives. These kinds of groups provide encouragement, real-time feedback, and actionable insights that accelerate success. Real Estate Lessons from DealMaker Dr. Borja also expanded on his book DealMaker, which chronicles his journey in real estate—from securing a 52-unit property in North Carolina to learning from failed deals in Allentown, Memphis, and Madera Beach. The book outlines strategies for accessing capital—like term loans, business credit lines, and self-directed IRAs—and it serves as a tool to attract coaching clients, enroll members into his "Elevation" program, or draw in passive investors. He also teased a busy speaking schedule, with events in Miami, Atlanta, and more—even during August, a month usually slow for conferences. Building Business Through Clear Communication I shared insights from my own recent speaking engagements, reflecting on the dynamics of in-person versus virtual events. One consistent truth: having a book is a game-changer. It builds instant credibility and creates powerful networking opportunities. I also emphasized the importance of refining your message when pitching for capital—and how being in a group coaching environment sharpens that message and broadens access to strategic resources. If you've read my book, I encourage you to share it with your own mentorship circle. The impact multiplies when we grow together. Why Small Business Still Matters We wrapped up with a discussion on the pivotal role small businesses play in the economy. With half of the Fortune 500 companies from the year 2000 now gone, it's clear: agility, innovation, and community matter more than ever. Dr. Borja announced the launch of his next program cohort kicking off in late July or early August, and he's welcoming new participants. You can connect with him directly via LinkedIn or visit Borja Consulting Group and Borja Capital to learn more.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight: your weekly deep dive into WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, and everything in between. This is Episode 137, and it's one of the most significant weeks for wrestling's future we've covered all year. WWE has officially signed a landmark five-year, $1.6 billion agreement to bring all U.S. premium live events to ESPN starting in 2026. It's a media move on par with the original WWE Network launch, but with major implications for what it will cost fans to follow the product year-round. We'll break down exactly how this changes the wrestling landscape, from pay-per-view access to mainstream visibility. This week, we also set the stage for a huge weekend ahead: TNA Emergence, TripleMania's first card since WWE acquired AAA, and the latest twists in NJPW's G1 Climax 35 playoff chase. From title matches to crossover moments, the next seven days could reshape the late-summer calendar. We break it all down: – WWE's ESPN deal explained: cost, accessibility, and its ripple effect on the industry – TNA Emergence Preview: Trick Williams defends the TNA World Championship against Moose in a card stacked with high-stakes matches – TripleMania in Mexico City: Dominik Mysterio challenges for the AAA Mega Championship, Natalya chases Reina de Reinas gold, and The Judgment Day steps into the AAA ring – NJPW's G1 Climax 35 update: the playoff picture tightens, standout matches emerge, and the road to the semifinals heats up – Eddie Kingston provides an update on his recovery and return plans – Brooke Hogan speaks candidly on her father's passing and their relationship – Jonathan Gresham reveals a frightening health scare after suffering two strokes – Paul Heyman weighs in on Brock Lesnar's return, WWE's future headliners, and the fallout from the Travis Scott angle – Karrion Kross addresses his WWE contract status and his SummerSlam experience Also this week:

We took a week off from the main show, and you know what that means: We're keeping you busy with some older Between the Sheets Patreon content that we've now made available for free. This time, we decided to assemble the entire “FUCK SABU!” trilogy (originally Patreon episodes #43-#45), covering Sabu's wild 1995, into one file for everyone to check out as a taste of what our Patreon-only deep dives are like. This is a great example, too, as we notice some very interesting things that the newsletters didn't pick up on at the time, like Chris Benoit's surprisingly obvious involvement in orchestrating the whole scenario.Want more content like this? Then sign up for the $5.00/month ($50.40/year if paid annually upfront) tier on our Patreon page and check out the back catalog that spans almost 9 years. This month, for August, the deep dive that we've started on is more 1995 content, covering Bill Watts' brief stint booking the WWF. Also, don't forget: From this point forward, regardless of if we're doing a month-long deep-dive or a smattering of smaller topics, we now release weekly Patreon content, with the segments of the month-long deep dives getting dropped each week as we record them.Anyway, we hope you enjoy these shows, and now, here are the original show descriptions:Part 1:Since April is the 25th anniversary of Sabu being fired from ECW, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to take a deep dive looking at everything that happened surrounding that very memorable event. So that brings us to this month's special, part one of what should be at least two episodes looking at Sabu's 1995, from his signing with NJPW to his indie schedule to his troubles with ECW, climaxing with Sabu double booking himself the night of ECW's big Three-Way Dance card. How did Sabu end up booked in NJPW the same night as the ECW show on late notice, why didn't he just cancel one of the bookings, and how did the situation devolve from there?We look at all of this in-depth, as it was covered in the newsletters, where both Sabu and Paul Heyman were commenting in detail on the record. All that and much more, including Chris Benoit's apparent major role in the Sabu/ECW schism, the greatness of Murder Inc./Wolf Army in 1995 NJPW, Sabu getting maced while doing a run-in for Circle City Wrestling, Chris Zavisa as Sabu's house organ, the proliferation of "Best of Sabu" videotapes, the reemergence of Dennis Coralluzzo in Sabu's career, and much more.This is a GREAT show, with a *lot* of fascinating stuff that's never talked about. Here's looking forward to part two!Part 2:We're back to pick up where we left off in our journey through Sabu's 1995, starting a few weeks after his firing from ECW over the "FUCK SABU!" no-show, as he starts talking to WCW and wins the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship from Koji Kanemoto at the Fukuoka Dome. Things quickly take a turn, though, as Sabu *throws down the title while cutting a promo about how he's a heavyweight*, NJPW tries to pretend it never happened, Sabu drops the belt at the next major show, Sabu becomes one of the anchors of Kevin Sullivan's plan to build "two WCWs" for the Monday Nitro launch, and much more happens as we close out the show just before Nitro launches. But the real meat of this show is in the forgotten Observer report, in black and white and plain English, that Sabu and Paul Heyman came to a secret agreement on an ECW return months before the actual return happened, and how Taz must have been privy to it given his career prospects at the time.All that and much more on another fascinating chapter in the "FUCK SABU!" saga!Part 3:We're back to pick up where we left off in our journey through Sabu's 1995, finishing up the series as we cover the launch of WCW Monday Nitro through the release of the 1995 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards in January 1996. Topics include how quickly Sabu's WCW run fell apart, the strange six month gap where Sabu stops teaming with the rest of Masahiro Chono's Okami Gundan/Murder Inc. stable in NJPW, Sabu scrambling for ideas to make him a pushed heavyweight in WCW like bringing in The Sheik's old United States Championship belt, The Sheik becoming Sabu's agent, Sabu returning to Dennis Coralluzzo's NWA New Jersey, Sabu becoming a transitional UWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Champion, Konnan trying to court Sabu for AAA, Sabu returning to ECW the same day he worked for Dennis, a labyrinthian web of conflicting stories from Sabu and Heyman about how they worked out the return, Sabu “officially” being fired from WCW on their hotline, the WWF's efforts to get Sabu for the 1996 Royal Rumble, and MUCH more. This is a fantastic end to the series and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.Timestamps:0:09:00 December 1994-January 19950:40:11 February-March 19951:09:52 Week of April 3 & Week of April 10, 19952:04:29 Week of April 17, 19952:27:03 April-May 19953:14:04 June 19953:33:51 July 19954:02:51 August 19954:36:30 September 19955:19:37 October 19955:55:23 November 19956:43:38 December 1995 and beyondTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.
