On Episode 129 of Wrestling Tonight, we examine a wrestling landscape defined by momentum, contradiction, and long-overdue reckonings. Gunther has once again ascended to the top of WWE's mountain, reclaiming the World Heavyweight Championship with a decisive victory over Jey Uso on Raw. After a legendary Intercontinental reign and a prior world title run, this latest chapter only reaffirms what many already knew—Gunther represents stability, precision, and quiet dominance in an era often ruled by noise. But if Gunther embodies discipline, CM Punk continues to wrestle with dualities—especially his own. Punk is now officially headed to Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, where he'll face John Cena in a high-profile rematch years in the making. The match is compelling on paper, but the context is impossible to ignore. For much of his career, Punk positioned himself as a vocal critic of WWE's Saudi partnership. His participation now marks a sharp pivot—and raises fair questions about where principle ends and pragmatism begins. Across the globe, AEW prepares for a milestone event with Grand Slam: Mexico, a historic collaboration with CMLL at Arena México. The card brings together AEW's signature stars and Mexico's rich lucha tradition: MJF vs. Mistico, Mercedes Moné defending the CMLL Women's Championship, Ricochet returning to his roots in a four-way spectacle, and a lineup of elite trios competition featuring Okada, Ospreay, FTR, and more. It's not just a supercard—it's a cultural statement about what AEW wants to be. In Japan, NJPW's Dominion delivered a slate of meaningful outcomes and subtle shifts. Hirooki Goto retained the IWGP World Heavyweight Title after a grueling defense against Shingo Takagi, Konosuke Takeshita continues to cement his position ahead of the G1 despite his loss to Oleg Boltin, and EVIL's vicious dog collar match win over David Finlay paired with the Bullet Club's unraveling. With questions lingering around Hiroshi Tanahashi's G1 future, Dominion felt less like a culmination and more like a prologue to what's ahead. From Toronto to Tokyo, Mexico City to Riyadh, professional wrestling continues to evolve—sometimes with purpose, sometimes with contradiction, and always with stories that reflect more than what happens in the ring.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Elisabeth Carson-Williams, author of the book Castaway on the Isle of Devils. Inspired by her students, and her fervent love of travel, Elisabeth hrives on meeting new people and hearing their stories. This, coupled with her own desire to understand her family's history, led her to write historical fiction, to capture the themes and voices of those not found in a textbook. “Ricochet,” her short story in Feisty Deeds: Historical Fictions of Daring Women anthology, is about the quiet battles women fight in order to survive, and how one person's actions can ricochet through multiple generations. Castaway on the Isle of Devils is her first young adult novel. To learn more about Elisabeth's publishing journey, writing process, and research trips, or sign up for her newsletter, visit: www.ecarsonwilliams.com. In my book review, I stated Castaway on the Isle of Devils is a young adult historical fiction filled to the brim with travel and adventure. We meet Alice Drinkard as she and her family are about to board a ship, Sea Venture, which is setting sail from England to Jamestown. Alice starts off the trip rather high and mighty. She is disdainful of her mother whom she calls Your Highness, she rarely takes advice. and she often finds herself in trouble because she chose to do things her own way with no regard to others. While on the ship, she starts to discover that their trip, one she felt was simply an adventure, and one they were going on because she wanted it, is a whole lot more. However, it isn't until the Sea Venture is nearly destroyed in a hurricane and is shipwrecked on the Isle of Devils, that she begins to understand the entire story - as well as a lot about herself and what she is made of. She also begins to understand human nature and what happens when people who seek power end up in charge. Elizabeth created her tale based on the true story of the Sea Venture, the shipwreck which was the inspiration for Shakespeare's The Tempest. Though William is barely a character in the book, Elizabeth did a wonderful job creating an exciting backstory to explain where Shakespeare got his idea for the play. Although touted as a young adult novel, I believe it is a story for all ages. I highly recommend this book!

It's our Double or Nothing episode and the girls have a new mantra: not only are we saying what we see, but we are BELIEVING what we see, and what we believe is that Double or Nothing was for us. Anarchy in The Arena's comedy costumes, intergender violence, and flagpoles up the butt? For us. Toni and Mina ending in a passionate makeout? Extremely for us. Hangman and Ospreay retroactively justifying their entire build by a banger of a match that held our hearts in their fists the whole time? FOR US. Whatever the hell was going on in that Nigel McGuinness match? THE WHOLE TIME, IT WAS FOR US.

Welcome to Episode 126 of Wrestling Tonight. This week, we break down a full slate of major events across AEW, WWE, TNA, and NJPW. AEW's Double or Nothing featured strong in-ring performances and key storyline developments. Hangman Page defeated Will Ospreay in a clean main event to win the Owen Hart Cup and earn a shot at Jon Moxley at All In: Texas. Anarchy in the Arena brought its usual level of spectacle, with Team Swerve overcoming The Death Riders and The Young Bucks. Mercedes Moné, Ricochet, Toni Storm, and FTR also notched meaningful wins. Tony Khan closed the weekend with updates on AEW's creative direction, backstage culture, and the announcement of All Out heading to Toronto. Over at NXT Battleground, Trick Williams pinned Joe Hendry to become the new TNA World Champion, marking the first time that title has changed hands at a WWE event. Stephanie Vaquer retained against Jordynne Grace in a hard-fought match, while Oba Femi and Sol Ruca continued their respective title reigns. On Saturday Night's Main Event, Cody Rhodes returned to confront John Cena and Logan Paul, setting up a major tag match for Money in the Bank. Damian Priest defeated Drew McIntyre in a steel cage match, and Bronson Reed aligned with Seth Rollins to form a new trio with Bron Breakker. We also look at TNA's Under Siege, where Masha Slamovich retained the Knockouts Title, Spitfire disbanded, and Mustafa Ali's faction showed signs of tension. Plus: WrestleMania 42 officially moves from New Orleans to Las Vegas, and we examine WWE's continued pattern of counter-programming AEW's major events. Also in this episode: Best of the Super Juniors tournament standings, Darby Allin's Mount Everest summit, and what AEW's expanding international calendar means going forward.
AEW Double or Nothing 2025 featured the chaotic Anarchy in the Arena match and two excellent tournament finals building to AEW All In 2025. Host Adam Silverstein jumped on the mic the next morning to break down AEW Double or Nothing results with grades in Getting Over's signature instant analysis review. "The Silver King" discusses Will Ospreay vs. Hangman Page and Mercedes Mone vs. Jamie Hayter delivering as bookends of the show, Toni Storm and Kazuchika Okada getting elevated by their opponents, Hurt Syndicate (with MJF) and Ricochet getting important moments in unimportant matches and everything that went down when Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland led an arena-wide brawl against Jon Moxley, the Death Riders and the Young Bucks. Follow Getting Over on Twitter (@GettingOverCast) & Bluesky (@GettingOver).
Brandon Tanguma is back to recap AEW's Double or Nothing PPV headlined with the Men's Owen Hart Tournament Final between Will Ospreay and "Hangman" Adam Page. What does the finish mean for All In Texas and the future of AEW? Mercedes Mone captured the Women's Owen Hart Cup and will take on Toni Storm after her win over Mina Shirakawa. Other matches include the Anarchy in the Arena match, MJF being in the Hurt Syndicate's corner for the first time, a stretcher/ambulance match between Ricochet and Mark Briscoe, and many more on another long AEW PPV.

It's our pre-PV week, and we run through the upcoming Double or Nothing card with all the build, starting with a deep dive into Ospreay and Hangman's in-ring face off and going through all the rest of the many long, odd talking segments that had Allie questioning the very nature of existence. What IS wrestling? Don't get us wrong - it was high level entertainment, from the glass doll you stare through to the unforgettable night you're just never going to forget. Anyway, party matches and Anarchy in the Arena rock, the Hurt People suck, and FTR segments have gotten far too normal.

Western elites have run into a recurring predicament over the past decade: In a democracy, you can't abolish the voters.

So Henry Olsen returns to the podcast to give […]

But the menu for literature on the right is, regrettably, if understandably, a bit limited. To add a bit of variety, Chris Scalia joins Peter, Steve, and Charles to discuss his soon-to-be-published book, Thirteen Novels Conservatives Will Love (But Probably Haven't Read). The boys quiz Chris on his selections and on the broader premise that the novel deserves greater attention from keepers of the cause.

It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.
