When does a celebrity actually help professional wrestling—and when are they just taking somebody else’s spot? Battle and Josh debate Lil Yachty, Bad Bunny, Logan Paul, Jelly Roll, Pat McAfee and the celebrity appearances that worked, along with the ones that never should’ve touched a WrestleMania main event.

Then AEW’s Kevin Knight joins Battle ahead of Rebel Heart Dynamite. “The Jet” discusses losing the TNT Championship to Darby Allin, stepping into the ring with Kenny Omega, fighting for respect, training under Shibata and whether he would put his own partner Kyle Fletcher through a table.
