Andrew Zarian is back with the latest Wrestling Observer Live Sunday edition, talking all the latest news in professional wrestling. I start by talking about seeing AEW Dynamite taped from the Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday, and I share my thoughts on what I saw without spoiling the details. I also discussed this week's Collision from Saturday and what appears to be the downfall of Mercedes Moné's title reign. I also break down Continental Classic current points and preview Worlds End next weekend. With John Cena's retirement from last week and the reaction that Gunther got on Monday's Raw, I talk about what's next for Gunther and how the company can benefit from him being a big monster heel going forward. Plus, thoughts on SmackDown, Andrade's ability to work Indies, the Triple A show from Saturday, and more!

On a new Josh Nason's Punch-Out, the 2025 year in review series continues with a stop in September. Rejoining the show for his yearly appearance is Davie Portman of Post Wrestling and Poisonrana. The guys talk about AEW All Out vs. WWE Wrestlepalooza, Will Ospreay's neck surgery, WrestleMania heading to Saudi Arabia, and more from the wrestling world.

On a new Josh Nason's Punch-Out, Josh is joined by first-time guest Dave LaGreca of Busted Open. The guys talk about the year Busted Open has had and what's to come for 2025, criticisms of the show, some LaGreca history, and lots more.

Andrew Zarian is back with another Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, talking about the latest wrestling news. This week's major news revolves around the retirement of John Cena, whose final match took place Saturday night on Saturday Night's Main Event. I offered a detailed show review and shared my reaction to the controversial decision to have him lose his final match, debating whether it was the right choice given the immediate fan outrage that followed. Also, I talk about the rest of the card and the decision to have a DQ finish between Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi. This is a crutch WWE relies on too much. I discuss other ways they could have handled this match. Plus, a review of AEW Collision, thoughts on who's going to win the Continental Classic, and the pending return of a big star this week. All this and more!

On a new Josh Nason's Punch-Out, Josh Nason and Fightful's Andrew Thompson recap the very packed month of August in Josh's 2025 wrestling year in review series. From Brock Lesnar's return to John Cena's face turn to Seth Rollins' fake injury to Will Ospreay's very real injury, it's all here in an extended play edition.

On a new Josh Nason's Punch-Out, the pro wrestling year in review series stops in July 2025 for perhaps the wildest news month of the year. Jason Powell of ProWrestling.net joins me for a talk about the passing of Hulk Hogan, the Seth Rollins worked injury, Goldberg retiring, AEW All In, and lots more.

On the Sunday Wrestling Observer Live, Josh Nason returns to talk about John Cena's final week, AEW Collision, where there's so many titles, why people need to not freak out about TV rights, and more.
