Episode 133 of Wrestling Tonight delivers an in-depth look at one of the most emotionally resonant and narratively significant weekends in professional wrestling in recent memory. At the epicenter was AEW All In: Texas, a six-hour showcase of brutality, catharsis, and renewal that drew over 25,000 fans to Globe Life Field and pushed AEW's creative ambition to new heights. The main event saw Hangman Adam Page reclaim the AEW World Championship in a Texas Death Match against Jon Moxley—a match soaked in blood, symbolism, and emotional weight. With broken glass, barbed wire, and chain-assisted violence, Page not only overcame Moxley but rewrote his own legacy. No longer haunted by doubt, Hangman's second title reign began surrounded by surprising allies—Swerve Strickland, Bryan Danielson, and Darby Allin—each playing a role in this violent resurrection. Elsewhere, Kazuchika Okada unified two of AEW's top singles titles, defeating Kenny Omega in their first singles bout in six years. But the match's integrity was once again compromised by Don Callis, whose interference robbed Omega of a clean opportunity. Toni Storm handed Mercedes Moné her first AEW singles loss in a dramatic, character-driven clash. Dustin Rhodes captured the TNT Title in his home state after Adam Cole emotionally vacated the belt, and MJF earned a future AEW World Title shot by surviving one of the deepest Casino Gauntlet fields in company history. In a match with long-term implications, Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland defeated The Young Bucks, officially stripping them of EVP status and signaling a broader shift in AEW's power structure. Meanwhile, WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event XL offered its own landmark moment as Goldberg wrestled the final match of his 28-year career, falling to Gunther via technical submission. With echoes of WCW and real-time tears from friends and family, it was a farewell steeped in emotion, legacy, and consequence. Elsewhere on the card, Seth Rollins appeared to suffer a knee injury during a moonsault attempt against LA Knight—causing a hush over the crowd as officials briefly entered the ring before Knight capitalized to secure a win. The extent of Rollins' injury remains unclear but could alter WWE's title picture heading into SummerSlam. Randy Orton defeated Drew McIntyre with a signature RKO after Logan Paul and Jelly Roll clashed at ringside, igniting a likely tag match in the weeks ahead. And in the U.S. Title match, Solo Sikoa retained over Jimmy Uso thanks to interference from Tama Tonga—only to be confronted afterward by a returning Jacob Fatu, injecting new blood into the crumbling remains of The Bloodline. In NXT, The Great American Bash: Atlanta served as a creative cornerstone for the brand. Oba Femi retained the NXT Championship in a stiff, international showcase against NOAH's Yoshiki Inamura, while Ethan Page narrowly survived a star-making performance by Ricky Saints in a wild Falls Count Anywhere match. Sol Ruca and Je'Von Evans scored meaningful victories, and in a significant cross-promotional moment, Trick Williams, Joe Hendry, and Mike Santana signed the contract for their TNA World Title triple threat at Slammiversary, adding gravity to WWE's growing collaboration with TNA. From Hangman's bloody redemption to Rollins' uncertain status, from Goldberg's goodbye to the rise of AEW's next chapter, Wrestling Tonight captures a weekend where every promotion moved its pieces forward—and where the past, present, and future collided with force.

After giving their quick picks for NXT's The Great American Bash, the duo delve into AEW All In on Saturday afternoon and discuss whether Adam Cole and The Hurt Syndicate are leaving with their titles intact, who will win the men's and women's Casino Gauntlet matches, if The Young Bucks will finally lose the EVP titles, Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada renewing their rivalry to determine the inaugural AEW Unified Champion, if Mercedes Mone will claim yet another title by beating Toni Storm, and the unpredictable Texas Death match between Jon Moxley and Adam Page.

Episode 131 of Wrestling Tonight dives into one of the most consequential weeks in professional wrestling, where spectacle met scandal and history was made on multiple fronts. At the center of it all was WWE's Night of Champions, an event clouded in geopolitical controversy and marked by dramatic in-ring developments. Headlining the show was John Cena, who emerged from his clash with CM Punk still Undisputed WWE Champion after a chaotic main event that seemed designed to frustrate rather than resolve. Punk's return to Saudi Arabia, after years of public criticism of the regime, added a complex emotional layer to the match—only to be further muddled by a murky finish and post-match taunting from Seth Rollins, who now looms large as a wild card with the Money in the Bank briefcase and Paul Heyman at his side. Elsewhere on the card, Cody Rhodes captured the King of the Ring crown in a ceremonial victory over Randy Orton, a bout more notable for its symbolism than its drama. Jade Cargill's Queen of the Ring triumph over Asuka was a visual spectacle but highlighted the steep learning curve she still faces. Sami Zayn, returning to Saudi Arabia for only the second time, scored an emotional victory over Karrion Kross in a moment that resonated deeply with the live crowd. The U.S. Title scene saw more chaos than clarity, with Solo Sikoa toppling Jacob Fatu in a match heavy on interference and light on clean resolution. WWE rounded out the event with a formal announcement: the 2026 Royal Rumble will be held in Riyadh, solidifying its long-term partnership with the Kingdom in a move that continues to stir debate about the company's global priorities and moral compass. Across the wrestling landscape, AEW is preparing for a record-setting night of its own as All In: Texas—set for July 12 at Globe Life Field—has already surpassed $2.5 million in gate revenue with over 19,000 paid tickets sold, becoming the most-attended non-WWE wrestling event in North American history. The event has begun to take shape with Mark Briscoe and Kris Statlander securing the first slots in their respective Casino Gauntlet matches, while JetSpeed—Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight—earned a title shot against The Hurt Syndicate after a fiery win on Dynamite. Their celebration was short-lived, as Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, flanked by MVP and MJF, launched a brutal assault that left both challengers laid out, punctuating their dominance with a table-shattering finale. Back in NXT, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo claimed the Heritage Cup in dramatic and controversial fashion, as interference from Luca Crusifino backfired, fracturing the D'Angelo Family and casting doubt over loyalties. Injuries continue to plague WWE's roster, with Liv Morgan undergoing shoulder surgery and Chad Gable reportedly sidelined following an on-screen arm-break angle with Penta. Gable is set for surgery in early July and may miss several months of action. Meanwhile, Keith Lee took to social media to reassure fans his prolonged AEW absence is not health-related but rather out of his hands, a quiet critique of creative stasis. ROH and CMLL's Global Wars event delivered one of the year's most stirring cards, headlined by Bandido's successful ROH World Title defense over Mascara Dorada in a lucha clinic that further cemented his reign. The night also featured the emotional submission victory of Blue Panther over Lee Moriarty, which led to a surprise appearance from Bryan Danielson. Days later, Danielson again shocked fans by returning after AEW Collision in a surprise segment with Max Caster, submitting him in seconds with the LeBell Lock after an assist from Adam Cole. For the night, Danielson aligned with Kyle O'Reilly as “Kyle Danielson,” delighting the Washington crowd with a heartfelt rendition of “The Final Countdown.” Elsewhere in the news, the legal pressure continues to mount for WWE as Janel Grant's legal team filed a sweeping discovery request seeking emails, board minutes, NDA drafts, and internal communications involving Vince McMahon, WWE HR, Linda McMahon, and Dr. Carlton Colker. The move is intended to challenge WWE's push for arbitration, arguing that Grant's allegations of coercion deserve to be scrutinized in open court. MLW found itself in AEW's crosshairs as MJF appeared unannounced at an MLW taping to attack Mistico, further fueling speculation of a storyline—or power play—between the companies. NJPW's G1 tournament suffered a personal setback as Bad Luck Fale withdrew following a loss in the family, opening the door for Satoshi Kojima to face Ryohei Oiwa in the play-in. Meanwhile, Bobby Lashley not only continues his dominance in AEW but has also been announced for a French indie show following Forbidden Door, while teasing a potential MMA return after appearing at a recent BKFC event. In the world of broadcast media, SiriusXM has announced the launch of Pro Wrestling Nation, a 24/7 channel devoted entirely to pro wrestling that will replace Fight Nation. The new station will feature expanded programming including Busted Open Radio, Off the Ropes with Jonathan Coachman, and shows hosted by Natalya and Denise Salcedo. And just across from Madison Square Garden, a new Hulk Hogan-themed bar called Slam is preparing to open its doors, promising fans memorabilia, MSG nostalgia, and a full-circle tribute to one of wrestling's most controversial icons. From Saudi stadiums to Texas megashows, courtroom battles to backstage power moves, Wrestling Tonight continues to bring you the full spectrum of professional wrestling in all its triumphs, contradictions, and unfinished stories.

On Episode 130 of Wrestling Tonight, we trace the line between spectacle and volatility as WWE prepares to stage Night of Champions in one of the most geopolitically tense environments the company has ever operated in. The event, set for June 28 in Riyadh, features John Cena vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship—a match built on personal history, philosophical tension, and, now, moral ambiguity. Punk, once the most outspoken critic of WWE's Saudi partnership, now finds himself at the center of it. And while the match is poised to be a classic, the backdrop is far from fiction. Just days ago, the U.S. launched Operation Midnight Hammer, a bombing campaign on Iranian nuclear sites. Iran responded by vowing “everlasting consequences,” placing a target—symbolic or otherwise—on every American in the region. The UK government has issued active travel advisories, commercial flights have diverted around Iranian airspace, and yet, WWE is undeterred. The official statement is measured: “monitoring the situation.” But the unofficial stance is louder: we're going. With the 2026 Royal Rumble scheduled for Saudi Arabia, and WWE's billion-dollar deal with the Kingdom intact, there's little room for second thoughts. We explore the Formula 1 precedent, where missile fire near the circuit didn't stop the show, and how this moment once again pits corporate confidence against real-world caution. Meanwhile, Cena added fuel to the fire with a SmackDown promo that didn't just build the match—it dismantled Punk. Echoing Punk's own iconic Pipe Bomb from 2011, Cena turned the mirror around, calling Punk a hypocrite, “Mr. TKO,” and a man who peaked "seven minutes, fourteen years ago." It was biting, meta, and signaled that this isn't just a title defense—it's an ideological showdown. The rest of the Night of Champions card offers serious implications: Jacob Fatu defends the U.S. Championship against Solo Sikoa in a grudge match born from Bloodline fractures Dominik Mysterio puts the Intercontinental Title on the line against AJ Styles in a collision of lineage and legacy Randy Orton awaits Cody Rhodes or Jey Uso in the King of the Ring Final, with a SummerSlam title shot hanging in the balance Asuka stands tall in the Queen of the Ring Final, but will face either Jade Cargill or Roxanne Perez to earn her crown Beyond the Kingdom, WWE also confirmed a long-rumored farewell: Goldberg's final match will take place July 12 in Atlanta, facing Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. After years of unfinished business and polarizing returns, Goldberg finally goes out on his own terms—with his son Gage by his side. We break down why this match matters, and why it may be the right curtain call. Over in TNA, the Order 4 civil war escalates as Cedric Alexander makes his surprise debut, confronting Mustafa Ali and drawing battle lines inside the most unstable faction in the company. With Jason Hotch re-signing and Skyler caught in the crossfire, TNA quietly continues to tell one of the strongest faction stories in wrestling today. Also in this episode: Stephanie McMahon calls Vince “his own biggest nemesis”, as lawsuits and new ventures define his post-WWE chapter SmackDown returns to two hours starting July 4, ending a brief and polarizing experiment Los Garza win AAA Tag Team gold at Triplemania Regia in their hometown of Monterrey Mercedes Moné wins the CMLL Women's Championship but is ambushed by Toni Storm as their All In collision looms Jon Moxley & AEW sued over an unscripted incident from a 2023 Dynamite taping Tony Khan weighs in on AEW's future amid Warner Bros. Discovery's corporate split Hook confirms his concussion, but says a return is near From Riyadh to Atlanta, TNA's tapings in Pittsburgh to AEW's shifting alliances, this week in wrestling isn't just about matches—it's about how much risk this industry is willing to shoulder in the name of business, legacy, and control.
