This week I’m breaking down a wild stretch in wrestling with Jeff Dye, Sheamus getting moved to WWE’s alumni section (and what that might say about WWE’s shifting philosophy on veterans), plus AEW’s Forbidden Door fallout with MJF surviving a brutal bloodbath and Kenny Omega stepping in to set up their huge showdown on the road to Ospreay. Then jump to WWE where Gunther takes Cody out early, Seth Rollins and LA Knight trade fire, and CM Punk returns in a big way by beating Sami Zayn for a shockingly short title reign—setting up Punk vs Cody.

Jeff Dye and I break down a wild week of wrestling, starting with why AEW’s Forbidden Door felt like a better pay-per-view than WWE’s Night of Champions—though some of that blood (especially Ospreay vs Swerve) was hard to watch. We get into WWE’s confusing King/Queen of the Ring fallout, Oba Femi’s strange promo, Brock Lesnar getting prioritized over titles, and how muddy the heel/face lines feel right now. Then we recap Night of Champions results.
