Ring Time Pro Wrestling's tracks

WrestleMania 42 delivered one of the most seismic weekends in recent memory, and this week the Ringtime Pro Wrestling crew dives into every twist, shock, and cultural moment — opening with a celebration of what a time it is to be a Black wrestling fan before unpacking the full scope of Night 1, Night 2, RAW, and the state of the business. Night 1 brought chaos and nostalgia with Logan Paul kicking things off, Paige and Bron Breakker returning, Bianca Belair announcing her pregnancy, and major title shakeups as Paige & Brie Bella, Becky Lynch, and Liv Morgan all claimed championship gold while Cody Rhodes held firm against Randy Orton. Night 2 crowned Oba Femi as WWE’s next unstoppable force, saw Brock Lesnar retire, Je’Von Evans shine, and delivered more championship turbulence with Trick Williams, Rhea Ripley, and Roman Reigns all emerging as new titleholders. RAW kept the momentum rolling with Oba Femi’s opening message, standout Japanese‑language Asuka promos, Ethan Page and Sol Ruca arriving, and the Street Profits returning before CM Punk and Cody Rhodes reignited tensions. The Ringtime crew then steps back to examine the evolution of The Bloodline saga, the post‑Mania releases, and — in one of the show’s most pointed discussions — the growing over‑commercialization plaguing WWE and reshaping how fans experience the product. This episode serves as both a recap of a historic WrestleMania and a sharp look at where wrestling may be headed next.#35 in the FeedSpot Wrestling Podcast Rankingshttps://podcast.feedspot.com/pro_wrestling_podcasts/Follow on Twitter@RingTimePodcast@Kholtjr@ReallyNoKesh•www.ringtimeprowrestling.com•www.kindoflikesports.com•Audible Audiobooks Free 30 Day Trial•http://www.audibletrial.com/RingTimeProWrestlingKeith B Holt / Metro Atlanta Realtorhttps://www.georgiamls.com/real-estate-agents/HOLTKEITH
