GUNTHER makes history as the longest-reigning Intercontinental champion of all time and two ideas on how and when to have Chad Gable beat him for that title... WRESTLEMANIA 40 may still be seven months away, but some of the key matches for the show seem clear at this point, and he runs down what those and other matches may be and where other people fit into those plans... then on the AEW front, he's got MORE FALLOUT from the CM Punk termination including reaction from some of the top stars in WWE, the rumored idea Punk had for a return earlier this year and why it was never going to happen, Ace Steel released from his AEW contract and the legal letter sent by Punk to The Elite over a BTE skit...

It was the END OF AN ERA this week with WWE and UFC coming together under TKO Group Holdings and Endeavor now taking majority ownership of WWE. Unfortunately, this included massive WWE office cuts and I'll explain how many people lost their jobs and which divisions got hit the hardest, plus Nick Khan comments on why PLEs may be moving to Sundays, Royal Rumble coming to Tropicana Field, a major WWE event said to be coming to Australia and the possibility of CM Punk returning to WWE... The Rock returns to WWE on Smackdown, but not before stopping by Pat McAfee's show and revealing that a match with Roman Reigns was LOCKED for Wrestlemania 39 and I've got details on how far in advance it was planned, why it didn't happen and why I believe it will NEVER happen despite Rock's repeated teases, plus how it would impact Cody Rhodes and his attempt to "finish the story"... Nia Jax is back in WWE and why it's the return that absolutely no one asked for... Jade Cargill leaving AEW for WWE, the latest on where she will be this week and the best place for her after she debuts... an embarrassing moment on AEW Collision involving Keith Lee... THE GREAT DEBATE about the AEW All In attendance at Wembley Stadium takes a turn this week... AEW GRAND SLAM 2023 PREDICTIONS, including a pitch for why Samoa Joe should beat MJF for the AEW World Championship, and the very real attendance struggles the company is experiencing right now... thoughts on Becky Lynch winning the NXT Women's Championship for the first time... and a NEW Hulk Hogan lie discovered this week?

BETTERHELP - Get 10 PERCENT OFF your first month and give online therapy a try at http://www.betterhelp.com/solomonster to start being your best self. Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!This past Tuesday saw AEW and NXT in a head-to-head battle that brought out the absolute worst in wrestling fans, but it also seemed to send Tony Khan into a tailspin after the numbers came out. I'll break down the back and forth between the two sides leading up to the shows, Tony's reaction to the ratings loss and the trolling he received online, why it makes AEW look bad, why it's so personal to him and a plea to him going forward, plus a history lesson for those who don't think Vince McMahon would ever be caught dead reacting in a similar way. AND SPEAKING OF VINCE MCMAHON... it's looking more and more like he may have gotten played by Ari Emanuel, who publically cited McMahon this week as one of the reasons for the recent TKO stock drop, while Endeavor gives Triple H full creative control over the WWE product, the changes we're already seeing and why this is a GREAT thing... the latest on CM Punk and a possible return to WWE, which doesn't look very likely... thoughts on Nick Aldis being named the new Smackdown general manager, the return of dueling GMs for Raw and Smackdown and Kevin Owens being traded back to the blue brand... the return of Roman Reigns, how WWE all but confirmed the main event for WrestleMania 40 this week and LA Knight challenging for the championship in Saudi Arabia?... the latest on Randy Orton's return and how it could factor into Survivor Series... Karrion Kross makes a surprising revelation about Bray Wyatt and Wrestlemania... Billy Corgan announces the return of the territory system and TWO television deals for the NWA. Finally, WWE recently aired a FOX special ranking the Top 25 Moments in Smackdown history and it was a doozie of a list. I'll go through the entire thing and then rank my own TOP 15 LIST covering the greatest moments in Smackdown history. It's been a while since I've done a good countdown, so I think you'll enjoy this!

Sometimes, life is just unfair. That was certainly the case this week with the shocking news that Bray Wyatt had passed away, only 24 hours after WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk passed away. Solomonster has a lot to say about both men, their careers, their most memorable matches and moments and the impact they made on the industry. He also shares his thoughts on the death of former Price is Right host Bob Barker, who died today and once made a very memorable appearance on Monday Night Raw. But it's not all doom and gloom... he runs down the full card for AEW All In at Wembley Stadium with PREDICTIONS for the biggest show in AEW history, including who walks out as champion between MJF and Adam Cole, the likely match for CM Punk at All Out next weekend, Chris Jericho attacking Will Ospreay at today's RevPro show and how to book Eddie Kingston now through Grand Slam in NYC... the latest chapter in THE MANY LIES OF HULK HOGAN as he makes the rounds to promote his new CBD line... Edge REFUTES a Pro Wrestling Torch report about WWE rejecting his contract request and how likely it is that he ends up going to AEW... The Judgment Day problem plaguing Monday Night Raw... Devon Nicholson SUED by the referee he mutilated two years ago at an independent show... and NXT HEATWAVE thoughts on the amazing match between Ilya Dragunov and Trick Williams, the Global Heritage Invitational with NXT running it's own G1 Climax-style round robin tournament and the names already announced for it!
