Podcast appearances and mentions of Sami Zayn

WWE made significant creative pivots to its main event scenes across Monday Night Raw and SmackDown with the latest Saturday Night's Main Event upcoming. Host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini open with a brief look at WWE news [7:20] before diving into The Main Event [16:45] where they tackle Cody Rhodes looking foolish against Drew McIntyre, Jacob Fatu being written off TV, The Vision getting excluded from a battle royal and Jey Uso being chosen to face CM Punk instead of LA Knight. "The Silver King" and Vintage" then break down The Good, The Bad and The Ugly [1:10:30], including Ilja Dragunov returning and beating Sami Zayn to win the United States title, AJ Styles & Dragon Lee upending Judgment Day for the world tag team titles, Dominik Mysterio remaining massively over, Becky Lynch being stuck in a Maxxine Dupri vortex, Nikki Bella returning to back Stephanie Vaquer and much more. Plus: What's next for John Cena? Follow Getting Over on Twitter, Bluesky & YouTube @GettingOverCast.

Episode 147 is live. Acefield Retro and Chad are back with a brand-new edition of Wrestling Tonight to break it all down, a massive week across AEW, WWE, and beyond. AEW WrestleDream 2025 in St. Louis felt like a complete show from start to finish. Every match had purpose, and every moment built toward something meaningful. Darby Allin finally defeated Jon Moxley in a violent but deeply emotional I Quit match that ended with Sting's return.  Hangman Page and Samoa Joe delivered the kind of world title match that rewards patience, ending with Page barely surviving before The Opps made their presence felt again. Cracks began to form in Don Callis' camp when Kazuchika Okada accidentally hit Takeshita with a Rainmaker, costing them the tag titles. Kris Statlander's win over Toni Storm was the title defense her reign needed, and Mercedes Moné continued her dominant streak by defeating Mina Shirakawa to break Ultimo Dragon's record. Elsewhere, Jurassic Express reunited to beat the Young Bucks in a fast, fun tag match that raised new questions about Kenny Omega's next move. Fletcher retained against Briscoe, Hayter and Thekla tore into each other, and The Hurt Syndicate picked up a strong win that puts them in line for gold. In WWE, Seth Rollins' shoulder injury could reshape the road to WrestleMania, but the larger story is the company's quiet rollout of an AI-driven storytelling system. Reports suggest WWE creative has begun testing artificial intelligence to help design character arcs, anticipate audience reactions, and fine-tune story pacing before scripts reach production. Whether this becomes a valuable tool or a creative crutch remains to be seen, but it marks a major shift in how wrestling stories might be told. Jacob Fatu's violent write-off and Ilja Dragunov's surprise United States Title win over Sami Zayn arrived with uncanny timing, fueling speculation that elements of the new system are already in play. Across the Pacific, AJ Styles may have wrestled his final match in Japan, closing the night with an emotional farewell speech delivered in Japanese by Shinsuke Nakamura. It was a week that balanced endings and beginnings. AEW delivered purposeful, organic storytelling while WWE stepped into uncharted territory by blending creativity with artificial intelligence. Wrestling keeps evolving, and nights like these remind everyone why they care.

A shocking end to Monday Night Raw turned the fallout from WWE Crown Jewel 2025 on its head with major questions now raised about booking through the end of the year into WWE WrestleMania 42.
