After quickly giving some of their favorite Pixar picks, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau kick off their Raw review on WrestleRant Radio discussing Seth Rollins' new group rejecting Sami Zayn on Monday night, the report that they may not be adding new members and why Rollins vs. Bron Breakker at WrestleMania 42 isn't so far-fetched. Plus, they talk Rollins getting cheered by the crowd and if WWE has a heel problem (which includes John Cena, by the way). Is it the fault of the fans, the company or both? Plus, they get into their thoughts on Raw's stacked women's division and if Roxanne Perez and Giulia are officially a part of the main roster, Stephanie Vaquer's status, Liv Morgan taking time off to film a movie, Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria's great segment to set up their Backlash bout, Lynch likely winning the Women's Intercontinental Championship and why it isn't a bad idea, other confirmed matches for Backlash including Gunther vs. Pat McAfee and their defense of it, Logan Paul being Jey Uso's first World Heavyweight Championship challenger, who has the higher ceiling in their return run between Rusev and Aleister Black, and more!

Rusev’s return and how the Redeemer character from AEW might actually shine in WWE Gunther vs. Pat McAfee: Is Pat crazy… or just crazy enough to win? And yes… we go deep on Rock vs. Triple H—real heat or work 2.0? From cryptic social media posts to Triple H’s Hall of Fame speech snub, we connect the dots and speculate on who’s really pulling the strings behind the scenes. Vince? Ari? The Rock himself?

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight for Episode 122. Every week we're here breaking down everything happening across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, and the rest of the wrestling world — the real stories, the real moves, and why they matter. This week, we start with The Rock, who has been making serious noise behind the scenes after WrestleMania 41. After stepping away from the Cody Rhodes and John Cena storyline at the last minute, The Rock is back in the spotlight — not just for creative decisions, but for a public clash with Busted Open's Dave LaGreca. We'll dig into what's really going on, how much influence The Rock actually has right now, and whether we're seeing the start of a bigger shift inside WWE. The returns didn't stop there either. Aleister Black made his long-awaited comeback on SmackDown, bringing back that dark, dangerous edge. Meanwhile over on Raw, Rusev returned in a big way. We'll break down what both of these returns could mean for WWE's summer plans, and where they might slot into the bigger picture. It wasn't all celebration though. Charlotte Flair had some strong words after the WrestleMania Roast crossed a few lines, and you can feel the real tension just under the surface. We'll talk about why this isn't just about bad jokes — it's about respect, the locker room atmosphere, and how things backstage might be a little more unsettled than they seem. In NXT, Noam Dar continues building a quietly historic resume. He's now the only four-time Heritage Cup Champion, and at a time when consistency is rare, Dar's steady presence is starting to stand out even more. We'll take a look at why this win matters, and why it might be signaling bigger things for NXT moving forward. Meanwhile, TNA Rebellion is shaping up to be one of the biggest cards of their modern era. Joe Hendry defends the World Title against Ethan Page and Frankie Kazarian. Masha Slamovich puts the Knockouts Championship on the line against a returning Tessa Blanchard. Ultimate X is back for the X-Division Title. The Hardys defend the Tag Titles against the Nemeth brothers. And Mustafa Ali vs Mike Santana in a Falls Count Anywhere match could end up stealing the show. We'll go match-by-match and get you ready for a night that could reshape the TNA landscape. And across the border, the battle for Mexico's wrestling future is heating up. AEW made the first move, announcing their upcoming Arena México show with CMLL — a historic partnership that immediately turned heads. Now WWE is responding in a big way, fast-tracking their plans following the acquisition of AAA and setting up their own events to plant a flag in the region. This isn't just about who can sell tickets — it's about who controls the narrative and future of lucha libre going forward. Finally, we'll close tonight by paying tribute to the late Steve "Mongo" McMichael. Mongo was one of a kind — NFL champion, Horseman, commentator, and larger-than-life personality inside and outside the ring. We'll share a few stories and a few laughs, and raise a glass to a guy who always gave the fans everything he had. Stick around — big moves, real emotion, and a lot to get into tonight on Wrestling Tonight. Grab a drink, pull up a chair — let's talk some wrestling.

Today we jump back ten years (4-26-2015) to our PWTorch Livecast post-show after WWE Extreme Rules featuring PWTorch assistant editor James Caldwell and PWTorch columnist Greg Parks.

The episode kicks off with a buzzworthy revelation from The Rock, who appeared on Pat McAfee's show. He shared insights about TKO executive chairman Ari Emanuel's call for ticket sale assistance and teased ideas involving Cody Rhodes and John Cena. The hosts explore The Rock's vision of Cody selling his soul to the “final boss” and Cena's long-awaited heel turn. Cena reportedly loved the creative twist, wanting it to mirror his real-life experiences, but the hosts feel the story's execution fell flat. Shifting gears, the duo criticizes Travis Scott's involvement in the Cena storyline, stating it distracted from the wrestling narrative. They also discuss Paul Heyman's new Dangerous Alliance, featuring names like Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, and brainstorm potential members, emphasizing the group's need for devious, powerhouse characters. The WrestleMania 41 recap takes center stage, spotlighting the women's triple threat match between Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley. The hosts laud the match's chemistry and high stakes, with Sky shining as a breakout star. They also praise Bianca Belair for turning a hostile crowd in her favor. While high points like Dominick Mysterio's Intercontinental Championship win earn applause, matches like Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest and Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles draw sharp critique. Lastly, the episode teases Rusev and Aleister Black's returns and offers thoughts on WWE's new reality series, “Unreal,” with skepticism about its appeal. #theFBCPod
