Bonus Episode: WrestleMania 41 (Night 1) – Bloody Toothed Barbie
04/20/25 • 29 min
Bradley Palermo and Aaron Fink go late-night with this bonus Grapple City Rewind episode, breaking down all the chaos from WrestleMania 41 Night 1 in Las Vegas. We talk about Jey Uso making Gunther tap (?!), the New Day hitting a record 12th tag title run, Jade Cargill's clunky but strong win, and Tiffany Stratton stepping up big time against Charlotte Flair.
Plus, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns tear the house down in one of the best triple threats we’ve ever seen—complete with a wild Paul Heyman swerve. We also touch on the Hall of Fame, Sabu’s bloody GCW sendoff, indie crossovers, and why El Grande Americano is wrestling’s most ridiculous delight.
It's unfiltered, off-the-cuff, and full of hot takes. Come hang for a post-Mania rundown that pulls no punches.
