WrestleRant Radio - November 14, 2024: WarGames Rant, a Depressing Dynamite Review, Women's U.S. Title, & More!

11/14/24 • 64 min

Graham "GSM" Matthews kicks off WrestleRant Radio this week with his raw thoughts on Wednesday's edition of AEW Dynamite in Bridgeport, including why the show has become depressing to watch some weeks and what can be done to fix it. It wasn't all bad, however, as he also gets into what he liked from the show and how Full Gear is guaranteed to deliver next weekend.
RJ Marceau then joins GSM to discuss NXT returning Lowell for the December 17th episode of NXT TV, any notable names that can appear on the show, WWE taping upcoming episodes of Raw and SmackDown, and the announcement of an all-new Women's United States Championship! Is it an overall positive for the women's division? On what brand(s) should the belt be defended? Is a Women's Intercontinental Championship imminent? Who should be the inaugural champ?
Plus, GSM has a WarGames RANT on why it's ridiculous that the men's match is five-on-five, who could join each side and why it wouldn't make sense regardless, WWE seemingly setting up a women's WarGames match despite it not being necessary, the rushed build to Survivor Series this year on the whole, and more!
