NXT's Halloween Havoc 2025 brought big moments and fresh direction across the board. Je'Von Evans & Leon Slater shined in the opener, Ethan Page retained in a brutal Day of the Dead match, and new champions emerged with Blake Monroe, Tatum Paxley, and DarkState all capturing gold. Ricky Saints closed the night with a clean win over Trick Williams, keeping his title reign steady as new challengers line up. In WWE, Seth Rollins' injury forced changes to Survivor Series: WarGames, but the CM Punk–Roman Reigns alliance remains intact. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed now anchor The Vision, ensuring the match still delivers major star power. Over in AEW, Tony Khan officially launched the Women's World Tag Team Title Tournament, featuring Jamie Hayter's return, Mercedes Moné & Athena's alliance, and Storm & Shirakawa's pairing, with the finals expected at Full Gear. Meanwhile, Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Shinsuke Nakamura is heavily rumored for Wrestle Kingdom 20, potentially serving as Tanahashi's retirement match. Elsewhere, AAA's Heroes Inmortales saw Dominik Mysterio retain his title, and The Wyatt Sicks escalate their eerie takeover. It was a week defined by new champions, shifting alliances, and dream match rumors — proof that wrestling's global storytelling keeps getting bigger and bolder.

John LaRocca and Garrett Gonzales are back on The Fight Game Podcast talking about WWE, AEW, & NJPW. They talk about this upcoming NXT Halloween Havoc, Ilja Dragunov being back, the AEW Women's Tag Team titles, WWE's booking after Seth Rollins' injury, last weekend's WrestleDream, Bandido's ascent, Trick Williams, and the possibility of Shinsuke Nakamura being Hiroshi Tanahashi's retirement match and the politics behind it all.
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. Host Adam Silverstein opens the show with a brief second look at WWE Crown Jewel [7:10] digging deeper into John Cena vs. AJ Styles and WWE's week in Australia [26:20] before kicking off The Main Event [31:30]. What led to WWE pulling the trigger with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed turning on Seth Rollins, effectively ending The Vision after it had just been established? Is Rollins injured, and if so, what does that mean for WWE creative moving forward? "The Silver King" then tackles The Good, The Bad and The Ugly [57:35] from the week, including Jacob Fatu leveling up against Drew McIntyre, Asuka and Kairi Sane starring against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley, Shinsuke Nakamura and Tama Tonga returning, Zelina Vega siding with Aleister Black over Damian Priest and plans for WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 now being up in the air.

We've got Samoa Joe defending the NXT Title against Shinsuke Nakamura, Asuka defending the NXT Women's Title against Bayley, The Revival defending the NXT Tag Titles against DiY, and more.We also talk about a huge week in wrestling, including WWE bringing back Brock Lesnar, WWE's huge deal with ESPN, John Cena turning face, Cody winning back the WWE Title, Seth Rollins cashing in, and the rest of Summerslam.
On this episode of The Wrestle Radio Show, we take the bold step into the creative trenches to reimagine the futures of two of WWE's most electrifying talents—Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka. Both dynamic and underutilized, these stars need a spark, and we're cooking up one of the most controversial strategies yet.What if the King of Strong Style and the Empress of Tomorrow joined forces with Logan Paul? Yes, that Logan Paul. Drawing on his polarizing presence and headline-grabbing past, we'll discuss how tapping into his infamous “suicide forest” controversy could amplify this trio's storytelling impact. Buckle up as we debate whether this edgy concept is a creative stroke of genius or a potential misfire too hot to handle.From building deeper character layers to generating conversations that transcend the squared circle, we break down how this clash of charisma, redemption arcs, and calculated risk-taking could not only rejuvenate Nakamura and Asuka's reputations but create one of the most buzzworthy angles in modern wrestling.If you're ready for unconventional ideas that push the envelope, this is an episode you don't want to miss!
The Hit List continues! The seventh week of this journey includes Kazuchika Okada vs Shinsuke Nakamura, the ironman match between Bayley and Sasha Banks, Hikaru Shida vs Naomichi Marufuji, the first time appereance from PWG on this podcast, and a scaffold deathmatch!
