It was a newsworthy week with John Cena's first HEEL PROMO in more than two decades, so how did he do?  Plus, CM Punk and Seth Rollins confront Roman Reigns on Smackdown and... I was expecting more.  Tiffany Stratton also had a BAD NIGHT opposite Charlotte Flair, and I'll discuss what the WrestleMania 41 card is looking like right now.  Lex Luger wants STING to induct him into the Hall of Fame and WWE is said to be trying to make it happen, but are they really just publicly putting pressure on Tony Khan?  Also, TWO MORE names rumored for the Hall of Fame... running through this year's Slammy Awards categories... Jon Moxley tries to MAIM himself on AEW Dynamite... Jeff Jarrett says he LOVES tribalism among wrestling fans, why I respect him coming out and saying it and why I also think it's a terrible thing... triumph and tragedy on the independent scene... one female casual fan's perspective on WWE... names that never lived up to their potential in WWE... the plans for RVD's title run in 2006 had he not gotten busted... would Bret Hart have fit in the Attitude Era... and can Finn Balor be saved or is he DAMAGED GOODS?

Solomonster reviews a mostly dull episode of WWE Smackdown from Bologna, Italy featuring the return of Roman Reigns as he is confronted by CM Punk and Seth Rollins.  Outside of that, it hardly feels like WrestleMania is only a month away.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for March 19th with Jon Moxley and Adam Copeland trying to erase the memory of their terrible main event at Revolution with a rematch for the AEW World title, a match that took a grotesque turn.  This show was all about the ladies getting the spotlight, plus a fun four-way with a silly finish to decide who challenges Kenny Omega at Dynasty.

We got more details this week about how the WWE ID program works, or did we?  Dave Meltzer reported something in this week's Observer that he later scrubbed, and I've got an update on the whole situation.  Plus, Jeff Cobb possibly coming to WWE... JD McDonagh speaks for the first time on his injuries from Raw two months ago... Tommy Dreamer challenges fans to find a better steel cage match than CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins, so CHALLENGE ACCEPTED... NXT Roadblock thoughts for what was the best wrestling show on TV all week... AEW Revolution fallout and the latest on Dynamite for this week... and a HULK HOGAN segment that will brighten your week, including comments from Scott Steiner, The Undertaker, the Survivor Series 1991 story and why Hogan made LITTLE KIDS CRY recently, with some very irate fans who felt betrayed at a recent meet-and-greet for Hogan's new Real American Beer (this is a segment not to be missed!)... the BEST pull-apart brawls in wrestling history... why is Ivan Koloff NOT in the Hall of Fame?

Solomonster reviews the final AEW Dynamite before Revolution and offers an updated prediction for where he thinks things may be headed in the main event on Sunday.  There's a very good chance we're getting a new AEW World champion crowned, but it's likely not who you think!  Plus, AEW does publicity for the new Queen of the Ring movie and ignores one of its own stars being in the film (in a fairly major role, too), and naming the person that should be the one to beat Mercedes Mone for the TBS championship.

Elimination Chamber was one of the most SHOCKING nights in WWE history with the John Cena heel turn I thought we would never see.  And just like that, the road to WrestleMania just got a hell of a lot more interesting.  We need to dissect this thing from top to bottom, what made it work so well, where it may be headed, what it means for CM Punk's road to Las Vegas and what all of this says about Cody Rhodes as THE MAN in WWE.  PLUS, why morale is said to be fading fast among WWE employees... Vince McMahon rumored to be starting a new wrestling promotion on FOX...  and an NXT REVIEW with thoughts on the big matches signed for Roadblock, the return of the Hardys and the in-ring debut of Ricky Saints.

THE ROCK returned to Smackdown on Friday to make a major announcement and to call out Cody Rhodes, and what followed was one of the most bizarre segments I've ever seen.  I've got a LOT to say about the segment itself, some inconsistencies from last year and the potentially GREAT story that could come out of it heading into WrestleMania.  PLUS... Elimination Chamber predictions... backstage frustration in the WWE women's locker room... Ricky Starks gets a NEW NAME and talks backstage politicking in AEW... Carmella gone from WWE... Michael Cole's comments on Logan Paul's podcast... Shane McMahon GHOSTED by Tony Khan and why he was right to do it... a different twist on the Jade Cargill attacker angle... why Alex Wright never came to WWE... and who is Mister IN YOUR HOUSE?

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown from New Orleans with The Rock returning to make a MAJOR announcement for WrestleMania next year, but also to call out Cody Rhodes in one of the most bizarre segments you'll ever see.  He discusses what he thinks it all means, and it could take things in some very interesting directions, but that doesn't make the segment any less weird.  But thankfully he was there because outside of that segment, this show is stuck IN THE MUD.

There's so much to cover, my head is spinning this week!  I've got reviews for BOTH NXT Vengeance Day and AEW Grand Slam Australia and which one I liked more... Tony Khan releases THREE NAMES early from their AEW contracts and one of them is already on WWE TV... Road Dogg named the new co-lead writer for Smackdown and what it means... running down the card for WrestleMania 41 as it currently appears and addressing concerns about the show feeling LACKLUSTER this year... the latest WWE Hall of Fame induction and another that seems a hell of a lot more likely than it ever was before... Hulk Hogan facing a LAWSUIT over his beer... TNA star Chris Bey finally breaks his silence on his injury... some hidden gems shared by Gerald Brisco... the "cool thing" to hate on AEW... one way to SPICE UP the Royal Rumble matches... the greatest gimmick NOT created by Vince McMahon... and remembering MTV's Wrestling Society X!

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown for Valentine's Day with Jacob Fatu not showing a lot of LOVE for Solo Sikoa, Charlotte Flair making her choice for WrestleMania, two more names qualify for the Elimination Chamber matches, Kevin Owens throws down the gauntlet to Sami Zayn and Trish Stratus appears.  A newsworthy show, but that doesn't mean it was exciting.  Let's do it.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite from Austin, TX with a GREAT angle involving MJF and Hangman Adam Page, where it all should lead and what it means for Jeff Jarrett... plus, Adam Copeland STEALS Jon Moxley's briefcase, The Hurt Syndicate defend the AEW tag team titles, Megan Bayne gets her first real rival and more.  As a go-home show to Grand Slam, it was pretty weak, but on the whole, this was another solid effort coming off a strong week of TV.

It's a SUPERBOWL-SIZED SOUND OFF with thoughts on nearly a dozen WWE talent releases, only one of which was truly a head-scratcher... the BIG difference between Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair's promos on Raw coming off their Royal Rumble wins... Raw on Netflix viewership continues to DROP and why that may change come April... the latest edition of Hulk Hogan in FANTASY LAND as he explains the REAL reason why he was booed on Raw (it's a whopper), plus The Undertaker and Seth Rollins chime in with their thoughts on Hogan being booed... Tony Khan FIRES an AEW talent and the reason why... fan outrage over Grand Slam Australia and the lack of refunds being offered... two REALLY good episodes of Dynamite and Collision this week... John Cena hinting at a HEEL TURN right before our eyes?... the best Swerve Strickland matches... and where I would rank the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble match may surprise you!

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite from Atlanta, GA with Swerve Strickland and Ricochet in the main event, Timeless Toni Storm cosplaying as Mariah May in remarkable fashion, The Death Riders limited to ONE segment on the show and what you have is the best Dynamite in weeks.  But all is not rainbows and unicorns as fans express their outrage over the AEW Grand Slam Australia event.

WWE threw a HUGE curveball at us last night with Jey Uso winning the Royal Rumble and the reaction has been very polarizing.  Solomonster explains why it all makes sense and why he thinks the hate is so over the top... where John Cena and CM Punk go from here heading into WrestleMania... Drew McIntyre reportedly STORMS OUT of the building in a rage and the reason why... the surprise return of Alexa Bliss... JD McDonagh's injuries from Raw and why he should have been taken out of the match... Janel Grant's amended lawsuit against Vince McMahon includes a mention of yet ANOTHER WWE executive... Triple H headlining the 2025 Hall of Fame... WWE sticks it to AEW again with a new show... and Dark Side of the Ring topics REVEALED for season six!

Solomonster reviews the final WWE Smackdown before the Royal Rumble with an unexpected confrontation between CM Punk and Kevin Owens, Damian Priest meets Jacob Fatu for the first time and not a whole lot else to get excited about.  It's also time that we have a conversation about Carmelo Hayes, the man who "doesn't miss" yet seems to miss every week on TV.

Solomonster has a LOT to discuss including Saturday Night's Main Event and the contract signing segment with Shawn Michaels, Jacob Fatu goes insane and Jey Uso loses AGAIN... plus, predictions for the Royal Rumble winners and possible surprises... Alexa Bliss and WWE at an impasse and why the Wyatt Sicks may end up as collateral damage... Tony Khan said to be FED UP with Britt Baker and her status with AEW, as well as her response to Konnan that she cheated on Adam Cole... ANOTHER AEW star said to be frustrated and vocal on how they're being used... a "Timeless" return for Toni Storm on Collision... and has CM Punk made a bigger impact in his WWE return or his run with AEW?

Solomonster reviews a mostly boring edition of WWE Smackdown leading into Saturday Night's Main Event with LOTS AND LOTS of mentions of actor Matthew McConaughey in the front row, and LOTS AND LOTS of ladies declaring for the Royal Rumble.  The transfer window has also brought multiple Raw stars over to Smackdown.  By June, this show will be back to two hours, but that alone will not solve the problems that it faces.  Let's talk about it.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite from Knoxville, TN and it was a more enjoyable show outside of a surprisingly boring main event and a not-so-surprisingly terrible Death Riders angle.  The Hurt Syndicate are the NEW tag team champions, Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay forge an alliance, Jeff Jarrett is one step closer to an AEW World title match and our first tease of an issue between MJF and Hangman Page.

This week, I've got a LOT of thoughts on WWE and TNA making their partnership OFFICIAL, how it benefits both companies, why the "AEW Effect" is a very real factor here and debunking the idea that this makes TNA the #2 promotion in the country (it doesn't).  PLUS... thoughts on the Corey Graves drama with WWE and whether it's a work or a shoot... WESTLEVOTES STRIKES AGAIN and this time, Bad Bunny is the victim... thoughts on Penta's Raw debut and the reports that he has HEAT with other wrestlers over his segment going long... Smackdown thoughts from Friday with Jacob Fatu finally starting to break out and plans for Bayley against Roxanne Perez... Saturday Night's Main Event predictions... the latest on Malakai Black's AEW status... hilarity ensues with AEW's booking of Powerhouse Hobbs this week... the absolute DEBACLE that is AEW Grand Slam Australia and what happened this week... Tammy Sytch tries to get her prison sentence reduced... and Lance Storm's touching tribute to a Hollywood legend.

I'm in RARE FORM this week talking about Vince McMahon's "CASE CLOSED" message (not quite, Vincenzo) and whether his deal with the SEC paves the way for a return to WWE... then, from one pathetic case to another, we move on to HULK HOGAN who got booed off the face of the earth on Monday night and everyone is offering their thoughts on why it happened  I'm going to tell you why it happened, and a lot of OTHER things about Hogan that you may not have known about, and how WWE is considering handling their Real American Beer sponsorship going forward... plus, Raw on Netflix premiere thoughts... the BIG names set for the Royal Rumble match... a surprising opponent being discussed for GUNTHER at WrestleMania... the latest on Malakai Black's status with AEW and how WWE and AEW both failed him... Darby Allin's status revealed and what it means for the AEW World Championship... how Jim Ross dodged a MAJOR bullet when it comes to Tammy Sytch... and Jeff Hardy claims he could have been as big of a star as John Cena is today.  Do you agree?

Solomonster reviews the WWE Raw premiere on Netflix with the return of The Rock, but what he did (or didn't do) on the show left us with more questions than answers as we head into WrestleMania season.  CM Punk battles Seth Rollins, John Cena declares for the Royal Rumble, Rhea Ripley challenges for the Women's World Championship and Roman Reigns tries to get his ula fala back waging Tribal Combat with Solo Sikoa.  But the most INCREDIBLE part of the show didn't involve any of those names... but rather, Hulk Hogan and the reaction he got from the Los Angeles faithful.
