Acefield Retro breaks down Royal Rumble: Riyadh, WWE's first traditional Royal Rumble held outside North America, with a full recap of what happened and why it happened. We start with the Men's Royal Rumble, won by Roman Reigns after lasting 58 minutes. The focus here is on structure more than surprises — Oba Femi's early dominance, some jarring eliminations involving major players, the Bloodline-heavy finish, and why this Rumble leaned into timing, hierarchy, and direction instead of pure chaos. From there, we go back to the Women's Royal Rumble, a match that got off to a rough start thanks to production issues and uneven pacing, but steadily improved as it went. Liv Morgan picked up the win with a smart, controlled performance. Lash Legend led everyone with five eliminations, Sol Ruca continued to look like a long-term piece, and Rhea Ripley still felt like the biggest presence in the match, even without the victory. We then break down Gunther vs. AJ Styles, a 24-minute match that was the closing chapter of AJ's WWE run. Styles stayed competitive throughout, but Gunther's patience and late-match execution decided it, leading to a bigger conversation about what this loss means for Styles moving forward.  The episode also covers Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn for the WWE Championship. McIntyre retained after a physically demanding, emotionally heavy match that leaned hard into Zayn's toughness and McIntyre's increasingly ruthless edge as champion. Episode 165 is about results, structure, and intent — what worked, what didn't, and what Royal Rumble: Riyadh tells us about where WWE is heading on the road to WrestleMania.

Ahead of the Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Rosenberg sits down with Je'Von Evans, who is hyped about competing in his first-ever Royal Rumble. Rosenberg then catches up with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as The New Day look back on everything from the split with Big E to KofiMania, losing the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar, and what it means to be long-tenured WWE superstars.Listen to Cheap Heat Live Fridays 12pm- 2pm EST on Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7 on Channel 156.Call in at 844-344-4893Wanna stay MAJ?Join our PateronFollow @cheapheatpod on Instagram and TikTok @cheapheatpod Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Episode 161 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers. Use code TAVERN for 20 percent off. Acefield Retro and Chad are back this week, and there is a lot to talk through as WWE, AEW, NXT, and TNA all continue to feel like they are in the middle of major transitions rather than arriving at clean conclusions. WWE drives most of the conversation again, not because of one isolated moment, but because of how many significant pieces are moving at the same time. Drew McIntyre capturing the WWE Championship in Berlin, CM Punk surviving a defining title defense on Raw's Netflix anniversary, and the looming Royal Rumble in a stadium that is still under construction all point to a company comfortable operating under pressure. Between Raw, SmackDown, and the way NXT talent is being elevated, WWE feels less interested in overexplaining its choices and more focused on letting outcomes speak for themselves as the road to WrestleMania comes into view. NXT, in particular, feels like it is clearly handing the keys to the next era. Oba Femi vacating the NXT Championship, titles changing hands, and open acknowledgment of roster movement make it clear this is not a quiet reset. It is a deliberate handoff. Established names are moving on, new names are being asked to step up immediately, and the brand is leaning into the uncertainty that comes with that shift. The instability is intentional, and it is creating urgency across the show. AEW approaches the week from a different angle. Instead of accelerating everything at once, the company leans into timing and restraint. Mercedes Moné stepping away, Jay White remaining sidelined, and stories being allowed to pause rather than peak all at once give the product a different rhythm. Absence becomes part of the narrative, and patience is treated as a feature rather than a flaw. TNA also finds itself at a meaningful crossroads. The company's debut on AMC marks a major step forward in visibility, while Genesis looms as a test of whether that momentum can carry through on a bigger stage. With championships on the line and long-running threads converging, Genesis feels less like a standalone event and more like a statement about where TNA sees itself heading in 2026. Episode 161 is not about chasing headlines or ranking moments. It is about reading the landscape as it exists right now. It is about recognizing where WWE is applying pressure, where NXT is opening doors, where AEW is choosing to wait, and where TNA is attempting to grow. It is a conversation about direction, tone, and trust during a week that did not rely on shock, but still managed to move the industry forward.

The Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast with Jason Powell reviewing the WWE Smackdown headlined by Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre in a Three Stages of Hell match for the WWE Championship, Trick Williams vs. Rey Fenix, and more...

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight. Episode 160 is a solo, instant reaction from Acefield Retro to Drew McIntyre winning the WWE Championship in Berlin. This episode focuses on why this title change felt different in the moment and what it says about WWE's direction as 2026 begins. Ace breaks down how the finish reshaped the championship picture, why WWE chose this specific night and setting, and what this win means for McIntyre moving forward. Rather than revisiting the past, the conversation centers on what comes next, with new challengers already being established and the European tour still underway. This wasn't a shock-driven decision or a temporary pivot. It was a deliberate shift at the top of the card, and the episode reflects on the trust being placed in McIntyre to carry that momentum forward. This is Episode 160 of Wrestling Tonight. A clear, immediate reaction to a moment that reset the landscape.

Shot of Nostalgia: The SmackDown Six Era continues with your host Acefield Retro as we revisit the stretch where SmackDown quietly became the best wrestling show in the world. Episode 4: The Golden Age of Tag Team Wrestling covers November 2002 through January 2003, the period when Paul Heyman's system reached perfect balance. Every story connected, every match mattered, and SmackDown had evolved into a complete wrestling ecosystem that thrived on craft, chemistry, and trust. It begins on the November 7 episode of SmackDown when Edge and Rey Mysterio finally defeated Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit in a two out of three falls match for the WWE Tag Team Titles. The match ran twenty four minutes and delivered a level of teamwork and precision that elevated the entire division. Just ten days later at Survivor Series 2002, Los Guerreros seized the spotlight by outsmarting both teams in one of the most celebrated triple threat tag matches of the decade. Their victory represented everything that made this era special. Eddie and Chavo's mix of wit, charisma, and timing made them the emotional center of SmackDown. This week's episode includes a special watch along of that match as we relive every moment of how they captured gold and redefined tag team storytelling. From there the show only gained momentum. On December 5, Angle, Benoit, Edge, and Eddie Guerrero met in a fatal four way elimination match that tied every rivalry together and showed how deeply Heyman's creative system was working. By the end of December, Team Angle had arrived. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin debuted on December 26 as Kurt Angle's chosen proteges, a pair of amateur wrestling standouts who brought a new layer of technical excellence to the brand. That arrival carried the SmackDown philosophy into the next year. The run reached its peak in January when Benoit and Edge faced Team Angle and Kurt, leading directly into the Royal Rumble 2003 where Kurt Angle defended the WWE Championship against Chris Benoit in a match that remains one of the most respected in company history. We also look at the wider picture through the Wrestling Observer newsletters from late 2002 that captured just how different SmackDown's approach was compared to Raw. While Raw was relying on shock segments that turned viewers away, SmackDown was earning loyalty through clarity and consistency. The Observer also documented the behind the scenes chaos surrounding Hulk Hogan's negotiations with Vince McMahon. Hogan had been planned to return for Survivor Series against Brock Lesnar but refused to lose to him again. The standoff left Lesnar without his expected opponent and forced creative to shift focus, which in turn gave SmackDown's tag division more room to shine. It was the kind of unintended consequence that helped the blue brand rise even higher. Fans made their preference clear. Ratings climbed, crowd reactions intensified, and SmackDown became the heartbeat of WWE's weekly television. By early 2003, SmackDown was not competing with Raw anymore. It had become its own force. Every match carried meaning, every performer felt essential, and every story flowed naturally. This was the golden age of tag team wrestling, a time when structure, emotion, and athletic storytelling defined an entire generation of WWE television.
