What a week in wrestling!  AEW and Warner Brothers agreed on a new TV deal.  Is this a right move or could they have gotten more?  Cody teased a big surprise for Bad Blood that could have massive title implications.  What could it be and any chance it doesn't involve The Rock?  Carmelo and Andrade go to a seventh match, what's the payoff going to be?  Are we going to get another heel turn from Kevin Owens?  Is CM Punk & Drew McIntyre the rivalry of the year?  Was Giulia losing to Roxanne the right move?  Is Shane McMahon coming to AEW?  How massive will that be for the business and what role should be have behind the scenes, if any?

After that great video, does this mean that Roman be the one to ultimately dethrone Cody?  Now that he finally won a singles championship, we ask, why is Jey Uso so over with the fans?  Should they turn Bron Breakker face?  Stephanie Vaquer declared that she is next, but is it too soon to put her in the title picture?  There has been several Alexa Bliss teases lately, but she is not coming back anytime soon, so why start so early?  Should she pair up with the Wyatt Sicks?  Darby compared WWE to Taylor Swift & AEW to Slayer, is this a fair assessment?  MVP made his debut and made some bold statements, which leaves us asking if Swerve better off with MVP?

After years of battling, can Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns co-exist on the same team?  With all these months in the making, what can we expect from this Punk & Drew pay off?  Is this the  beginning of the end for the New Day?  What does a match again Randy Orton do for the very young career of Je'Von Evans?  Who should be the first to win the long rumored women's mid card championship?

It was announced that Raw will be going to back to two hours until they move to Netflix.  Is this the right move and should they stay two hours after January?  PWI released their annual top 500, did they get it right with their top ten this year?  With the rumors of the Hurt Business becoming Elite, can they be a big deal or will they get lost in the shuffle of that already loaded roster?  Jey Uso became the number one contender for the IC title, will he finally get his hands on a singles championship?  Did the Bloodline actually look better without Solo?  With Darby not getting his title shot at Grand Slam, does it make sense for Danielson to face off against Nigel McGuiness?

We are back and just in time.  Sami appears to be the next challenger for Gunther.  He is the right choice to be the next opponent or could this story have waited a bit longer?  After her debut, Guilia is already challenging for the NXT Women's Championship. Is this the right time or too soon?  Who will be the one to answer Jordynne Grace's Open Challenge on NXT?  After his fiery performance his week, is this the best version of Hangman we've seen to date?

Coming off his return at SummerSlam, has Roman Reigns already surpassed Cody Rhodes as the top face in WWE?  Is Randy Orton the right opponent for Gunther's first title defense?  What does staying in NXT mean for Joe Hendry's career in TNA?  With rumors of the Motor City Machine Guns and The Lucha Brothers heading to WWE, which team could find more success?  Why doesn't Jeff Jarrett get enough credit for his talent and overall legacy?

We are back after a week off, did we miss any major news?  Another Slammiversary is in the books, did the right person walk out as TNA Champion? Should CM Punk v Drew McIntyre main event SummerSlam?  After a surprising debut, can Kamille duplicate her success in NWA over in AEW?  Finally, what are the chances of WWE & AEW working together in the future?

On this week's episode we ask, when it's all said and done, will John Cena go down as the GOAT?  After her recent appearance in AEW, how shocking was it to see Stephanie Vaquer sign with WWE?  Where does Alexa Bliss fit in with the current roster?  How important is the storyline between Mariah May and Toni Storm for AEW Women's Division?  With the return of Mami, how screwed is Dom?  Everyone believes, but do we believe that Joe Hendry will be a World Champion by year's end?
