With CM Punk nearly healed up from his injury and chatter about a possible AEW return, those chances appeared to go down in FLAMES this week with even more explosive comments. Solomonster breaks down the entire situation and addresses Punk's comments about Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho and Dave Meltzer, and new details from Fightful about BRAWL OUT, Moxley heat with Punk, allegations that Tony Khan wanted Punk to work the Dynamite squash with Moxley without medical clearance, why it appears Punk may be shifting blame from The Elite to Jericho and the number one reason why Tony Khan should cut ties with CM Punk. Then it's time for WRESTLEMANIA 39 PREDICTIONS and who walks out as champion between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, rumors that Triple H has yet to make a decision, what match should headline Night One and tons more... Andy Kaufman going into the Hall of Fame and WWE possibly inducting its first referee... Naomi officially DONE with WWE?... Chris Jericho claims "Judas" pioneered the idea of fans to singing along to wrestler themes... thoughts on the DREAM MATCH between Kenny Omega and Vikingo, the New Japan star Omega is wrestling this Wednesday and why some NJPW fans are upset... predictions for ROH Supercard of Honor and NXT Stand & Deliver... and why it was NOT a good week to be a champion in Impact Wrestling.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for March 22nd with what Tony Khan billed as a DREAM MATCH between Kenny Omega and El Hijo del Vikijngo, the reigning AAA Mega champion. Not surprisingly, Vikingo put on the match of a lifetime with Omega doing all he could to get the man over. This was a one match show, and if you didn't come for that one match, this was not the best episode of Dynamite you will ever see.

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for March 20th with Roman Reigns actually showing up to work on the red brand to confront his Wrestlemania opponent, Cody Rhodes, in an excellent closing segment. Meanwhile, the stage is officially set for the tag team championship match at Mania with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn challenging The Usos, but there wasn't much else to get excited about on this show.

Has it really been 800 EPISODES of this podcast? Why yes, yes it has been. And there is much to discuss, including the end of the Bella Twins in WWE, their role in history and a defense of them... John Cena ruffles feathers with his comments about Vince McMahon and the sexual misconduct allegations against him... McMahon also KILLS the movie project about his life, and a former WWE writer shares what Vince said in regard to the fans being upset about Baron Corbin ending Kurt Angle's career... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH BRAY WYATT?... the latest on this year's WWE Hall of Fame class and The Great Muta being inducted... a humorous look at how WWE decides on the attendance figures that it announces... NOT SO FAST on Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley getting the Night One main event at Wrestlemania... AEW announces this year's Forbidden Door show and location, including a swing through Canada and where they may be heading next... thoughts on the polarizing reaction to the announcement of Kenny Omega vs. El Hijo del Vikingo on AEW Dynamite this week... Davey Richards suddenly RETIRES (again) from professional wrestling, and why he did it... and then it's COUNTDOWN TIME as we rank the TEN BEST STORIES EVER TOLD in WWE history. There has been some masterful storytelling over the years, but these stories top the list, and where The Bloodline fits into all this. THANK YOU for 800 incredible episodes, and here's to many more!

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for March 13th with rumors about Bray Wyatt's recent absence and Wrestlemania status for his match with Bobby Lashley, why you need to consider the source of this information and why it doesn't change the fact that Wyatt's run has been a major disappointment so far. Kind of like this Raw episode, which didn't have a lot to get excited about.

Jey Uso finally makes his choice and attacks Sami Zayn, and Seth Rollins gets his Mania match with Logan Paul. An eventful episode of Raw, but if you're looking for great wrestling, this was not the show for you. And news on Vince McMahon being spotted backstage!

Solomonster reviews AEW Revolution 2023 with MJF and Bryan Danielson going out and having the greatest Iron Man match that he's ever seen. That is no easy task and both men should be commended for it, though it was not without controversy with MJF tossing a drink on a young fan. But it was a night, up and down the card, of the veteran WWE talent putting over the AEW originals with Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, Christian Cage, Samoa Joe and others doing the honors.

CM Punk on Instagram promises to return to wrestling for a unique reason... Sonya Deville arrested on a gun possession charge... Bill Goldberg says WWE "owes him" a retirement match, and why Bron Breakker would be the right opponent...

Solomonster reviews a very enjoyable episode of WWE Smackdown for March 3rd with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes meeting face to face for the first time before their Wrestlemania showdown. The Bloodline drama continues with The Usos and Sami Zayn, everyone wants to challenge Gunther for the Intercontinental title and the Bray Wyatt/Uncle Howdy stuff continues to be the most frustratingly bad part of the show.

Solomonster reviews the final episode of AEW Dynamite before Revolution this Sunday and it was very much a mixed bag. Strong go-home promos from Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson were the hightlights, with Powerhouse Hobbs winning the Face of the Revolution ladder match, a dreadful tag team battle royal and more to discuss.

Reviewing an incredibly dull episode of Monday Night Raw for February 27th that you would never think was building to a big event like Wrestlemania. Becky Lynch and Lita are the new Women's Tag Team Champions, with an assist from Trish Stratus, while Brock Lesnar has accepted the challenge of Omos to a match on the grandest stage. I can barely contain my excitement.

Charlotte Flair speaks on why it's hard for her to be a babyface... thoughts on the end of Jeff Hardy's DUI case, why he got a slap on the wrist and what his wrestling future should be... Tony Khan's BIG announcement and the funny math from TBS on its claim of four million weekly viewers on Wednesdays for AEW... the latest on Kenny Omega's AEW contract status and why WWE could be in a position to bring in Omega, The Young Bucks and MJF all around the same time... even BULLY RAY agrees that Jon Moxley may be bleeding on television a "little" too much... AEW REVOLUTION 2023 PREDICTIONS and thoughts on future MJF challengers, including an idea on how to get the most out of Sting's upcoming retirement while benefiting Darby Allin... thoughts on Keiji Mutoh's final matches at the Tokyo Dome, including the secret main event, plus the battle of the IWGP and GHC champions... thoughts on the WWE Legends A&E special on the NWO with Solomonster losing his shit on the Sting/Hogan Starrcade 1997 main event and Hogan's nonsensical claims, plus what the referee for the match has said about the "fast count that never was" that night and a review of the WWE Rivals special on Hogan vs. Andre... and YOUR QUESTIONS on the titles that need to change hands at Wrestlemania, Steve Austin in place of The Rock at Wrestlemania 18 and how that would have changed the crowd reaction in Toronto, the best TNA Original(s) to never get a shot in WWE and much more.

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown for February 24th with another compeling Bloodline segment involving Sami Zayn and The Usos, an update on when Roman Reigns will return to the show, a bizarre Firefly Funhouse segment with Bray Wyatt that just left him confused more than anything and a "confrontation" between Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley that really wasn't much of one.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for February 22nd with Tony Khan making another BIG announcement that went over like a wet noodle. While important for the company's future on TBS, it was the equivalent of him calling for a meeting when sending an email would've served the same purpose. Also, MJF makes it personal in his promo on Bryan Danielson, Orange Cassidy and Wheeler Yuta open with a banger and Jon Moxley bleeds. Yes, shocking, I know.

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for February 20th and you won't believe who challenged Brock Lesnar to a match at Wrestlemania. Sami Zayn tried to patch things up with Kevin Owens, which did not go well. Edge challenged for the United States championship, his first match in Ottawa in 18 years, and may have had the match won were it not for Finn Balor's interference. He breaks it all down, plus news on when John Cena is returning to WWE TV.

Last night was a busy one with WWE Elimination Chamber and New Japan's Battle in the Valley, and Solomonster has thoughts on the fallout from both events. He explains why Triple H made the right decision to have Roman Reigns beat Sami Zayn and why he thinks he may have been too harsh on one aspect of last night's main event, where he thinks the Jey Uso story might be going and why this story is every bit as much about Jey as it is about Zayn, if not moreso. He also discusses the finish to Brock Lesnar against Bobby Lashley, the most disappointing thing about their matches and what to expect with Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania... Edge challenging Austin Theory for the US title on Monday and what to expect... Mercedes Mone winning the IWGP Women's Championship and thoughts on the match with KAIRI... Jay White leaving New Japan and why WWE is his likely destination... Kenny Omega's AEW contract status, WWE seeing him as their next big free agent signing, a LOT of thoughts on why there's a better chance of this happening than you may think and why Tony Khan must do everything he can to stop it... Bloomberg reveals Vince McMahon's ridiculous asking price for WWE... Ring of Honor television finally gets a start date and how much it's going to cost... Tony Khan calls Ariel Helwani a FRAUD and the not-so-subtle dig WWE took at Khan at Elimination Chamber... the death of Jerry Jarrett, his impact on the wrestling business, starting TNA with Jeff Jarrett and how Vince Russo was involved in the falling out they had, the time Jarrett tried to buy WCW and something that never gets discussed when it comes to why Jamie Kellner REALLY pulled the plug on WCW programming... NXT teasing a Shawn Michaels match with Grayson Waller, and what it's LIKELY leading to at Stand & Deliver... how Ric Flair saved Kurt Angle's career when WCW had interest in signing him... and why JOHN CENA is CM Punk's greatest rival.

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown from Montreal, 24 hours before the Elimination Chamber PPV, with Sami Zayn receiving an incredible hometown welcome. It was his last chance to rally the troops before the biggest match of his life. Plus, Bray Wyatt teases his Wrestlemania program by issuing a warning to either Brock Lesnar or Bobby Lashley, and Tony Khan gets salty on Twitter about Ariel Helwani appearing on the show.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for February 15th with news on the launch date for the new weekly Ring of Honor TV series, and a backstage talent meeting last week with Thunder Rosa to address any lingering locker room issues. Dynamite this week was largely a dud, but was not without some newsworthy parts, including the return of Christian Cage and plenty of new matches announced for Revolution on March 5th.

Solomonster reviews WWE Royal Rumble 2023 as Sami Zayn TURNS on Roman Reigns in the most incredible ending to a Royal Rumble PPV in history. On what was otherwise a very mixed bag of a show, it was The Bloodline story that carried things with the most shocking development yet. Also, Cody Rhodes wins the Royal Rumble and Rhea Ripley punches her ticket to Wrestlemania.

Tragedy struck this week when Jay Briscoe, one half of the Ring of Honor tag team champions, was killed in an auto accident just shy of his 39th birthday. Today, I speak candidly on Jamin Pugh, the man, and Jay Briscoe, the wrestler... the circumstances of the accident, a medical update on his two daughters who suffered terrible injuries in the wreck, why The Briscoes will go down as one of the all-time great tag teams, personal memories of some key moments in his career including his time in House of Glory, the controversial tweets that followed him around for his career, why The Briscoes never landed in WWE (and it has nothing to do with tweets) and the HYPOCRISY of Warner Brothers Discovery not allowing Tony Khan to pay tribute to Jay on AEW TV. And then... WE'VE GOT A TON OF NEWS on Vince McMahon's latest hush money payment as part of his settlement with Rita Chatterton... Nick Khan's interview with Bill Simmons talking Vince's return, throwing shade at Tony Khan and one jaw-dropping comment that I could not believe... the major segment CANCELED for Raw XXX this Monday, what it's being replaced with and what it means for the status of The Rock at Wrestlemania... ROYAL RUMBLE 2023 PREDICTIONS for the winners and possible surprise entrants... New Japan and Pro Wrestling NOAH produce the hottest worked-shoot angle in years at Wrestle Kingdom... Sting and Darby Allin team with The Great Muta in his final match in the gimmick... MLW inks its biggest television deal to date... Kevin Nash's cryptic comments result in police being sent to his home and tons more.

On a MONSTER three hour episode, it was another week filled with McMahon family drama with Vince McMahon voted IN as the Executive Chairman of the Board and Stephanie McMahon OUT, resigning as Co-CEO of the company just days after telling employees there would be no management changes. Solomonster discusses why things may not be as they seem, the talent meeting Triple H led backsage at Smackdown and what he revealed about Vince McMahon's role, the shareholder lawsuit against Vince and why it will likely go nowhere, as well as the rumored SALE to Saudi Arabia, why a lot of wrestling reporters were left with egg on their faces and reports that Tony Khan and his family are interested in buying WWE (LOL). BUT THERE'S MORE... including the ridiculous figure Shane McMahon was paid for his lone appearance on WWE TV in 2022... WWE trying to halt discovery in the MLW lawsuit and what MLW wants them to hand over... Jay White possibly leaving New Japan for WWE or AEW... Mandy Rose speaks out for the first time since her WWE release... Ruby Soho bleeds a gusher on AEW Rampage... when Sting's AEW contract expires is finally revealed... NXT New Year's Evil review with an appearance by ANOTHER former WWE champion... 30 FOR 30 with the 30 greatest moments in 30 years of Monday Night Raw, ranked from least to best... and when all is said and done, who will end up with the better career, ROMAN REIGNS or CM PUNK?

It took all of six days into the new year for Vince McMahon to force his way BACK onto the WWE Board of Directors in an effort to sell the company. I've got a LOT to say about how this entire situation came to be, the letters back and forth between Vince McMahon and the Board members letting him know that they did NOT think it would be wise for him to return in the way that he wanted, his predictable response to that, the REAL reason why this is happening, what it means for creative and the current management team and running through the list of potential buyers, including who I think the likeliest choice would be. This is a VERY big deal and will have a huge impact, for better or worse, on the future of that company. But believe or not, there's other news as well... including a possible end to the practice of non-compete clauses and how it would affect pro wrestling... Sasha Banks makes her New Japan debut and could be primed to make her AEW debut this week... the two New Japan stars WWE has expressed an interest in signing... Money in the Bank coming to London for the first time ever... reports of a Bobby Lashley heel turn and Hurt Business reunion coming soon... Darby Allin wins the TNT championship from Samoa Joe and responding to ridiculous comments about Darby beating Joe... thoughts on AEW Rampage and the latest Battle of the Belts LIVE special... UFC President Dana White puts his new Power Slap League and TV deal with TBS in jeopardy after being caught on camera SLAPPING HIS WIFE (no, this is not satire)... John Laurinaitis tries crawling out from under his rock and promptly gets chased back under it... Asuka as a potential challenger for Charlotte Flair at Wrestlemania?... and news on my new position as the COMMISSIONER of House of Glory Wrestling!

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for January 4th, the first Dynamite of the new year and it had a vibe very similar to those early shows with a hot Seattle crowd and a new TNT champion crowned with Darby Allin beating Samoa Joe. In fact, if you look up and down the card, Tony Khan seems to have mastered the correct way of utilizing his veteran players to help get the younger talent over. Plus, breaking news on Mercedes Mone f/k/a Sasha Banks and her future with AEW.

Solomonster reviews the first Monday Night Raw of 2023, which was a largely uneventful show outside of an excellent main event for the United States championship, and the first in what will be a series of vignettes hyping the return of Cody Rhodes. But first, he discusses the shocking injury to Buffalo Bills safety Demar Hamlin during last night's Monday Night Football game, which was suspended indefinitely and will go down as one of the scariest nights in NFL history.

It's the annual PREDICTIONS SHOW with predictions for the world of wrestling in 2023 for WWE, AEW, WrestleMania, surprise Royal Rumble entrants, Forbidden Door II, the future of CM Punk and tons more. But before that, I have a lot of thoughts on the passing of former TNA announcer Don West... AJ Styles suffers a broken ankle and when he might be back... WWE touts its BIG signing of AAA star Dragon Lee, why it's best that he's starting on the NXT brand, how this all came to be after his AEW Dynamite appearance in the summer and the company's track record when it comes to past international signings... John Cena's likely opponent for WrestleMania 39... Charlotte Flair returns to win the Smackdown Women's championship and what it means for Ronda Rousey's future in WWE, including the status of a possible match with Becky Lynch.. the latest on Tyson Fury MISSING Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania payoffs due to immigration issues and rumors of him not wanting to even look vulnerable against any WWE talent... Dax Harwood sounds off on CM Punk on his new podcast and makes a plea to Punk and The Elite... WRESTLE KINGDOM 17 PREDICTIONS, including Sasha Banks becoming a free agent and starting the next chapter of her career... thoughts on the new Ric Flair documentary on Peacock, including what was missing from it... and finally, I'm reviewing my predictions for LAST YEAR to see what I got right and wrong, and running through my 2023 PREDICTIONS for the wrestling world. Do you agree with them?
