Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly deep dive into the stories shaping the wrestling world across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, ROH, and beyond. Episode 142 may well be one of the most pivotal editions yet. We begin with WrestleMania 43, officially confirmed for Saudi Arabia in 2027. For the first time in its history, WWE's signature event will leave North America in a deal reportedly worth nine figures. Executives are calling it a milestone in global expansion, but to many fans it feels like the monetization of wrestling's most sacred tradition. We will examine what this means for WrestleMania Week, the independent promotions and fan culture it usually powers, and whether AEW is poised to step into the void that WWE has left behind. AEW is carving its own historic moment as All Out makes its debut in Toronto. A sold-out Scotiabank Arena will host one of the most ambitious cards in company history. With a special afternoon start time and a new streaming model through HBO Max, this event could be remembered as the moment AEW transformed from challenger brand to global force. Back in WWE, the long-dormant WrestlePalooza returns as a reimagined flagship event streaming on ESPN's new subscription service. With John Cena colliding with Brock Lesnar one last time, Cody Rhodes defending against Drew McIntyre, AJ Lee stepping back into the ring after more than a decade, and IYO SKY taking on Stephanie Vaquer for the vacant Women's Championship, the lineup promises spectacle. Yet the price point of $29.99 per month raises difficult questions. Can WWE justify charging fans significantly more for leaner cards and heavier advertising, or will WrestlePalooza become a case study in overreach? Meanwhile in AAA, Dominik Mysterio stunned the wrestling world by leaving Las Vegas as the new Mega Champion. It was a controversial finish, emblematic of the uneasy but fascinating partnership between WWE and AAA, and it leaves fans questioning what comes next for both promotions. We also discuss the WWE release of Andrade this weekend. What happened? The week ahead is equally loaded, with Raw, SmackDown, NXT Homecoming, Impact, and AEW September to Remmember all set to deliver matches and moments that could shift the industry once again. All of this and more on Wrestling Tonight, where the stories are not just headlines but signposts of where the business is headed. And as always, support the Tavern by joining us at patreon.com/theturnbuckletavern for exclusive content, bonus shows, and unfiltered conversation you will not find anywhere else. Follow us across social media @TurnbuckleTavern to stay locked in throughout the week. Until next time, kings and queens, stay out of the alley and away from the pork and beans. Good luck, and good speed.
