The State Of WWE And AEW In 2023

In sadly the final episode of Wrestle Buddies, Chris and Mat head to San Antonio, Texas for the Royal Rumble. The guys get a hands-on look at WWE 2K23 and talk about Wargames and Showcase Mode. Xavier Woods, Big E, and Kofi Kingston come on one last time to talk about the worst Up Up Down Down champion. And for some reason, Dog Dad Lawyer shows up to play as "Brun Beaker" against "Edge from U2" in a WWE 2K23 match. He knows nothing about wrestling, and it shows. Editor Mat comes on one last time to give his thoughts about the podcast and his future. Thank you for listening to us over the last three years.

AEW's Nyla Rose and Serpentico have been feuding on Twitter for months, and it all stems from a McDonald's hamburger incident. From there, t-shirts were made and mean tweets have been sent. Both wrestlers join Chris and Mat, as the Wrestle Buddies try to find common ground between the two and hope they can put their rivalry behind them, at least for the holiday season.

It's time for Wargames! Well, it's still Wargames, but it's Survivor Series now. For the first time ever, the Wargames match is coming to a major WWE PLE. Chris and Mat go over the card and make some predictions. However, because it's a busy week leading up to Thanksgiving, the guys recorded this episode early, when there were only three matches officially booked, so they guess what the rest of the card will look like.
