Sorg is on the road in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but Wrestling Mayhem Show rolls on with Rizz and Mad Mike for episode 1006. The crew spends much of the episode unpacking AAA's Mask vs. Mask match and the unexpected rise of Chad Gable through the El Grande Americano story.

The conversation also covers WWE's international shows, Clash in Italy, the future of Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi, and possible King and Queen of the Ring outcomes. Chelsea Green gets strong support as a potential Queen of the Ring winner. Sorg also praises AEW Double or Nothing, especially Stadium Stampede, Okada vs. Takeshita, and Lio Rush's new character direction. Mad Mike celebrates Lucha Underground returning to YouTube, while the crew reflects on why lucha storytelling still feels so special. The episode wraps with “What We Learned,” including Sorg's production tip for indie wrestlers: buy a simple wireless lapel mic and make your promo audio better.

They look at Kenny Omega's AEW Title defense against Orange Cassidy and Pac, the Stadium Stampede match between the Pinnacle and Inner Circle, and everything else in the deep ensemble line-up.Also, Cody Rhodes's media Q&A is also included from that week where he talked with media about the PPV.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-shows--3275545/support.

Episode 187 covers one of the biggest weeks wrestling has seen all year as AEW Double or Nothing completely reshapes the company's championship picture, WWE heads toward its historic Clash in Italy premium live event, major injuries continue piling up inside The Vision faction, and the independent wrestling landscape sees a massive ownership shift. We break down the full fallout from AEW Double or Nothing 2026 from Queens, New York as MJF regains the AEW World Championship in a brutal Title vs. Hair main event against Darby Allin. We discuss the violent structure of the match, Darby's terrifying Coffin Drop off the stage scaffolding, the hardway bleeding controversy under the New York State Athletic Commission, and Kevin Knight's shocking heel turn after attacking Darby while he was strapped to a stretcher. We also look at the end of Darby's chaotic 40-day title reign after seven successful defenses and MJF beginning his third AEW World Championship run. We also cover the massive Stadium Stampede spectacle involving Jericho, The Hurt Syndicate, The Elite, Ricochet, The Don Callis Family, and The Dogs, plus Konosuke Takeshita defeating Kazuchika Okada for the AEW International Championship before Kyle Fletcher returned and betrayed Takeshita to officially end Protoshida. We discuss Jon Moxley retaining the Continental Championship against Kyle O'Reilly, Thekla surviving a four-way Women's World Championship match, Cage and Cope winning the AEW World Tag Team Championship in a violent "I Quit" street fight against FTR, and the latest Owen Hart Cup tournament developments involving Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland, Athena, Mina Shirakawa, Samoa Joe, Bandido, Sareee, Persephone, Hazuki, and the mystery Wild Card entrant replacing the injured Willow Nightingale. Outside the ring, AEW officially announced the new AEW Redemption pay-per-view for July 26 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, bringing the company to ten annual pay-per-views for the first time ever. We discuss Tony Khan's comments about Montreal's wrestling history, Mick Foley potentially appearing at the event, and what the continued expansion of AEW's pay-per-view calendar means moving forward. We also break down the major independent wrestling business story of the week as former WWE stars Big Damo and Nikki Cross officially acquire ownership of PROGRESS Wrestling and co-ownership of DEFY Wrestling. We discuss their vision for the companies, expansion plans across the UK, relationships with Pro Wrestling NOAH and other promotions, the future of women's wrestling under Cross' leadership, and why this move could become one of the most important independent wrestling developments of the year. On the WWE side, we preview Clash in Italy, WWE's first-ever premium live event in Italy taking place from Turin at the Inalpi Arena. We break down Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Gunther, Roman Reigns facing Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat for the World Heavyweight Championship, Rhea Ripley defending the WWE Women's Championship against Jade Cargill in a WrestleMania rematch, Becky Lynch defending the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Sol Ruca, and Brock Lesnar returning to face Oba Femi after appearing to retire at WrestleMania 42. We also discuss Saturday Night's Main Event fallout as The Vision retained the World Tag Team Championship against The Street Profits before WWE later announced Logan Paul suffered a torn triceps that will sideline him for months. We cover Bron Breakker replacing Paul as Austin Theory's tag team partner, Theory's brutal chair attack on Joe Hendry, Brie Bella and Paige retaining the Women's Tag Team Championship, Penta retaining against Ethan Page, Jade Cargill pinning Rhea Ripley ahead of Clash in Italy, and Sol Ruca officially earning her Women's Intercontinental Championship opportunity against Becky Lynch. Plus, we discuss WWE officially launching the 2026 King & Queen of the Ring tournaments next week on Raw from Turin, LA Knight declaring himself for the tournament while targeting Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso defending the modern Bloodline, and the increasing likelihood that this year's finals once again culminate at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.

Episode 233 and what a night. Diana, Johnny, and Gringo break down Double or Nothing, starting with Mick Foley going All Elite (welcome home, Mick).

Okada vs. Takeshita went full banger, Thekla is the best in the world at what she does, and MJF took Darby's title and his moment. Johnny does a Speedball Bailey impression nobody asked for.

We break down WWE Backlash 2026 from every angle as the company heads into its first Backlash event of the ESPN era in the United States. Roman Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu in the biggest match on the card, with the Bloodline story entering a completely new phase after reports surfaced that Reigns is currently not planned for Night of Champions or the June television leading into it. We discuss the family history behind the match, Jacob Fatu's rise from enforcer to true singles star, and why this feels like the biggest opportunity of his WWE career so far. Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker may be the most personal match on the show as the collapse of The Vision finally comes to a head. Seth Rollins opened up this week about creating the faction because of insecurity and distrust toward Roman Reigns and CM Punk, while Bron Breakker continues trying to prove he has completely outgrown his former mentor and is ready to become WWE's next centerpiece star. The WWE United States Championship feud between Trick Williams and Sami Zayn has become one of the strangest stories in wrestling all year. We discuss the reported backstage pushback toward the Gingerbread Man storyline, why several people in WWE reportedly viewed the angle as "hokey and archaic," and Sami Zayn's explanation that he intentionally wanted to experiment with a character shift designed to divide the audience rather than function as a traditional heel turn. We also preview IYO SKY vs. Asuka, Danhausen's mystery partner situation against The Miz and Kit Wilson, and the growing speculation that Jelly Roll could appear at Backlash despite CM Punk remaining the betting favorite internally and externally. John Cena also continues heavily teasing what he calls a "history-making" announcement at Backlash that will "shock the very foundation of WWE." Reports now point toward the possible launch of Club WWE tied to the company's growing ESPN integration, and we discuss why WWE is clearly positioning the announcement as one of the defining talking points of the entire event. Outside WWE, one of the biggest stories in wrestling involves Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods officially leaving WWE after reportedly rejecting TKO restructuring deals. We break down the end of The New Day as an active WWE act, why the situation feels different from a normal release, the AEW interest already surrounding both men, and what their departures say about WWE's changing business structure under TKO. AEW delivered an emotional tribute to Ted Turner following his passing at 87 years old. Sting made a surprise appearance alongside Tony Schiavone to honor the man responsible for keeping wrestling alive on TBS and TNT for decades. We reflect on Turner's impact on wrestling history, WCW surviving because of his commitment to the business, and why modern wrestling television likely looks completely different without him. We also discuss AEW Double or Nothing trending toward one of the company's strongest domestic crowds in years from Queens, New York, while Stadium Stampede officially returns for the first time since 2021. Chris Jericho, Ricochet, The Gates of Agony, and The Hurt Syndicate are all becoming part of one of AEW's signature match concepts once again as the company leans harder into faction warfare and spectacle. Plus, we cover Lei Ying Lee regaining the TNA Knockouts World Championship, Yota Tsuji earning an IWGP Heavyweight Championship rematch against Callum Newman for NJPW Dominion, MLW and CMLL's crossover event from Arena México, and the NWA celebrating the reported audience for Powerrr's return to broadcast television on Comet TV. Then we look ahead to Raw, NXT, AEW Dynamite, TNA Impact, SmackDown, AEW Collision, NWA Powerrr, WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, Double or Nothing, Dominion, and the rest of the upcoming wrestling calendar.
