Paul Fontaine and Jeff Hawkins dig into a go-home Dynamite that struggled to build real heat for a Redemption card that already felt like a lame duck event heading in. Kevin Knight put the TNT Championship on the line against Darby Allin ahead of Sunday's world title match, and Divine Dominion defended their tag team titles against Sisters of Sin in a no-disqualification brawl. The trios picture saw Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega team up against the Don Callis Family, with the night

Paul Fontaine and Jeff Hawkins break down the final AEW Dynamite before Sunday's Redemption pay-per-view, live. Kevin Knight puts the TNT Championship on the line against Darby Allin in a go-home main event with major stakes, while Divine Dominion defends the Women's World Tag Team Titles against the Sisters of Sin in a hardcore match that promises no-DQ chaos heading into the weekend. The trios scene takes center stage as Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega join forces against Brian Cage

Paul Fontaine and Garrett Gonzales break down the Tom Brady and Logan Paul wrestling angle and ask the obvious question: why would a legend like Brady, with nothing left to prove, want to step into a wrestling ring at all? The guys use it as a jumping-off point to compare eras and legacies, wondering whether an all-time great like Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky would ever have entertained a similar crossover match, and what that says about how today's top athletes think about brand-building ver

Paul Fontaine and Garrett Gonzales question WWE's current storytelling priorities, pointing to how hard the company is force-feeding the Austin Theory and Maxxine Dupri pairing across weekly TV while a genuine main-event prospect like Bron Breakker gets pushed to the back burner. The guys dig into what the imbalance says about WWE's short-term entertainment instincts versus its long-term star-building, and why burying a talent with Breakker's ceiling for a saturation angle is a curious call. #W

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine dig into WWE's premium live event booking patterns, tracking every PLE over the past two and a half years to see who WWE actually leans on. Cody Rhodes has worked 23 of the last 30 PLEs, and the promotion's true main-event tier hasn't dipped below 14 appearances each in that stretch. Garrett and Paul break down what that concentration says about WWE's trust in its top of the card — and whether it's smart star management or a warning sign of thin depth behind th

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine question why Kenny Omega vs. Kevin Knight is main-eventing Redemption, a match that's landed on a card with little buzz behind it. They unpack whether AEW has set this main event up to underwhelm and what the lack of momentum says about the promotion's current direction. The pair then shift to WWE, calling out the continued elevation of Austin Theory and Maxxine despite neither proving they belong in top spots, while a true main-event talent in Bron Breakker g

Sam and Mel kick things off with a personal milestone, recapping their first-ever in-person meetup at night one of the G1 Climax in Chicago after years of doing the show together from opposite sides of a screen. It's a fun, personal open before diving into the wrestling news. From there, they break down Kenny Omega officially becoming AEW's Men's World Champion and what his reign could mean for the rest of the roster heading into the back half of the year. They also cover a loaded return week o
