Tapped In Podcast 9/15/2026: AEW Rebel Heart, ROH Appearances & Remembering Andy Williams

Nick and Myron are back with another episode of the Tapped Out Wrestling Podcast, digging into some of the biggest business and industry stories changing the landscape of pro wrestling.Could WWE’s relationship with Disney become much bigger than the current ESPN deal? With rumors involving Disney properties, special events, streaming content and even potential destination experiences, we look at how TKO continues to attach WWE to some of the biggest companies in entertainment.Japan is also becoming an interesting battleground. WWE is heading to Netflix while AEW has announced a new home on Hulu Japan. We discuss the very different approaches both companies are taking as they try to grow internationally without necessarily replacing Japan’s established wrestling scene.Plus, AEW All Out has sold out despite WWE and AAA running Worlds Collide in the Chicago market on the same night. Does that show how strong AEW’s core audience really is, and could head-to-head scheduling become much more common?We also debate the controversy surrounding Stephanie Vaquer’s Women’s World Championship victory over Liv Morgan in Chile. WWE made the complete match exclusive to Club WWE, leaving some fans asking whether major storyline moments and championship changes should ever be locked behind another paid service.Then we turn our attention back to the independent scene with Indy Rewind, covering the latest from 1FW, Kraken Pro, AWE and ACTION, before Making the Drive previews a packed weekend of wrestling throughout Georgia. Are WWE’s corporate partnerships making the company stronger than ever? Can AEW continue succeeding when WWE counterprograms its biggest events? And where should WWE draw the line between premium exclusive content and something every fan should be able to see?🎥 Watch & Subscribe: https://tappedoutpod.com💰 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tappedoutpod👕 Pro Wrestling Tees: https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/tappedoutwrestlingpodcastnetwork.html📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tappedoutpod📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tappedoutpod/𝕏 X/Twitter: https://x.com/tappedoutpod📧 Email: [email protected]#WWE #AEW #ProWrestling #WrestlingPodcast #WWEnews #AEWNews #TKO #Disney #ESPN #Netflix #AEWAllOut #WorldsCollide #StephanieVaquer #LivMorgan #IndyWrestling #GeorgiaWrestling #TappedOutPodcast

This week on Wrestling With Football, Nick is joined by Tyler Shoop to break down everything that stood out from Week 1 of the NFL season — and try not to completely lose our minds after one game.We go through the entire Week 1 NFL slate, looking at the biggest winners and losers, the teams that impressed us, the teams that disappointed, and the performances that already have us questioning what we thought we knew heading into the season.Which teams actually showed us something sustainable? Which losses should fans be worried about? Which losing teams may have played better than the final score suggests? And which Week 1 reactions are already getting completely out of control?We also hit some of the biggest games from the college football weekend, including the dramatic Texas–Ohio State finish, Oregon’s stunning loss, Michigan’s bounce-back and the early-season poll movement that followed.Plus:• Week 1 winners and losers• Teams we're buying, selling and holding• Good teams that looked bad — and bad teams that might actually be good• The Week 1 Panic Meter• NFL and college football overreactions• Which preseason predictions we might already regret• Which teams we trust the least & most• How much one weekend should really change the way we view the rest of the seasonThe theme of the week is simple: It’s Week 1. Don’t overreact.Of course... that’s exactly what we’re going to do.PATREONhttps://www.patreon.com/tappedoutpodPRO WRESTLING TEES STOREhttps://www.prowrestlingtees.com/tappedoutwrestlingpodcastnetwork.htmlWATCH / LISTENhttps://tappedoutpod.comAvailable on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and all major podcast platforms.FOLLOW TAPPED OUTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tappedoutpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tappedoutpod/X: https://x.com/[email protected]#NFL #NFLWeek1 #CollegeFootball #WrestlingWithFootball #TappedOutPodcast #FootballPodcast #NFLOverreactions #NFLWinners #NFLLosers #CollegeFootballPodcast #NFL2026 #SportsPodcast

Sunday Night’s Main Event came to Atlanta — but what happened inside the ring may only be part of the bigger story.This week on the Tapped Out Podcast, Nick and Myron look at the fallout from WWE’s latest major event and what it may have revealed about the company’s future. From the way WWE is positioning some of its biggest stars to the growing mix of wrestling, music and celebrity involvement, is TKO starting to redefine what a major WWE event is supposed to look like?Then we dig into some bigger questions surrounding the WWE roster.A new round of developmental releases has us wondering whether the entire philosophy behind NXT, LFG and the Performance Center is changing. How much time should a prospect really get to develop — and what does winning one of WWE’s own talent competitions actually mean if nothing is guaranteed afterward?The business side gets even more interesting as reports of major contract reductions collide with WWE still handing out new multi-year deals to other established names. Is TKO simply cutting costs, or has WWE become much more selective about exactly which wrestlers it believes are worth premium money?We also take another look at AEW, where the numbers tell a more complicated story than some of the conversation surrounding the company. Is AEW healthier than people think — and are its biggest events becoming more important than what happens in the arenas every week?PLUS…🔄 INDY REWIND — We look back at a loaded weekend around Georgia, including 1FW, Southern Honor Wrestling and Southern Fried Championship Wrestling, with several stories taking major turns heading into their next events.🚗 MAKING THE DRIVE — Looking for wrestling this weekend?

And could Grayson Waller winning the NXT Championship create a new path for main roster talent who need a reset?Plus, Nick and Myron dive into the Leon Slater match being pulled from the MyAEW stream and what it says about wrestling partnerships, TNA’s relationship with WWE, AEW’s streaming platform, and the politics that can get in the way of fans seeing advertised matches.This week’s Georgia wrestling recap includes quick reactions and story takeaways from:1FW – Commerce, GAA busy night with title stories, rising names, and several familiar 1FW rivalries continuing to move forward.New Legacy Pro Wrestling – Franklin, GAChampionship changes, unfinished business, and a few big questions coming out of Franklin.Coastal Empire Wrestling – Savannah, GAA major night for CEW with Gold or Gone fallout, championship opportunities, and a near-sellout crowd despite major competition nearby.GCW – Buckhead, GAA shocking turn in a Career vs. Hair match may have changed the direction of GCW moving forward.United Pro Entertainment – Kingsland, GAA major main event shakeup leaves Bryce Cannon, Jon Davis, and Bryce Maddox at the center of the story.Nick and Myron also preview another strong weekend across Georgia.Friday, September 41FW – Watkinsville, GAAngelica Risk defends gold, Satnam Singh faces Chad Skywalker, and several major 1FW names are in action.Southern Honor Wrestling – Canton, GACarlie Bravo and Alexander Lev go face-to-face before Still Here, plus Krule, Christian Taylor, Kyle Matthews, Hakeem Young, and a Good Brothers meet and greet.Saturday, September 51FW – Winder, GAA free show at Finished Goods Brew Werks.Southern Fried Championship Wrestling – Monroe, GANick Halen defends the SFCW Heavyweight Championship against Bryce Cannon, plus tag title action and more.🎧 Get episodes early: patreon.com/tappedoutpod📺 Watch weekly on YouTube: tappedoutpod.com🎙️ Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and all major podcast platforms.👕 Grab Tapped Out Podcast merch: prowrestlingtees.com/tappedoutpod📩 Send questions and fan mail: [email protected]#TappedOutPodcast #WWE #AEW #TNA #NXT #SundayNightMainEvent #CodyRhodes #RandyOrton #ObaFemi #BronBreakker #AEWAllIn #WillOspreay #KennyOmega #MercedesMone #BrittBaker #AAA #NXTHeatwave #LeonSlater #MyAEW #IndyWrestling #GeorgiaWrestling #1FW #NewLegacyPro #CoastalEmpireWrestling #GCW #UnitedProEntertainment #SouthernHonorWrestling #SHW #SFCW #BryceCannon #AngelicaRisk #CarlieBravo #WrestlingPodcast #ProWrestling #WrestlingNews

This week on the Tapped Out Podcast, Nick and Myron break down another packed week in pro wrestling, including WWE’s streaming future, NXT developmental questions, AEW’s return to Wembley, and a loaded stretch of Georgia indy wrestling.The guys start with ESPN Unlimited increasing its subscription price from $29.99 to $31.99 per month beginning September 17. Some fans are blaming WWE because ESPN Unlimited will be the U.S. home for WWE PLEs, but is that fair? Or is this really part of a larger streaming industry price trend?Nick and Myron discuss the difference between WWE taking major rights fees and ESPN setting the monthly price for its own app.They also address the report that claimed ESPN was already unhappy with the WWE deal — and ESPN quickly shooting that down as false.Then the conversation shifts to NXT’s women’s division and why so many female athletes seem to be picking up pro wrestling faster than the men. Jordynne Grace’s research, athletic backgrounds like gymnastics, cheerleading, and amateur wrestling, and comments from names like Kevin Owens and AJ Styles all factor into the discussion.Are NXT’s women developing faster because of gender, recruiting, coaching habits, or transferable athletic skills?The guys also discuss AEW All In returning to Wembley Stadium, with Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay headlining. Ticket numbers are down from AEW’s historic 2023 Wembley debut, but when did drawing 40,000-plus fans to a stadium become something people call a failure?Nick and Myron look at whether AEW’s international strategy may be one of its biggest long-term growth opportunities.This week’s Georgia wrestling recap includes quick reactions and story takeaways from:1FW – Marietta, GAA busy night featuring Angelica Risk, Vary Morales, Parker Li, The SupaStarz, and more.Southern Fried Championship Wrestling – Loganville, GAA fundraiser-driven night that became much bigger than wrestling and created one of the most emotional moments of the weekend.Blood & Honey Series – Atlanta, GAMatt Griffin continues to survive Atlanta’s deathmatch world, while major changes hit the Blood & Honey power structure.Total Aggression Wrestling – Eastanollee, GAChampionship issues, rivalries, and a major return all helped set the table for what comes next.1FW TV Taping – McDonough, GAA packed TV taping featuring title fallout, new directions, surprise confrontations, and chaos in the main event scene.Nick and Myron also look ahead to another strong weekend across Georgia.Friday, August 281FW – Commerce, GASix-man action, Satnam Singh, Angelica Risk defending gold, and more.SCA – Royston, GAMonster’s Ball action, title matches, tag team stakes, and several big stories moving forward.Saturday, August 29Coastal Empire Wrestling – Savannah, GATag title action, Bryce Cannon, Dax Anthony, Doc Gallows, Christian Taylor, Gold or Gone, and more.GCW – Buckhead, GAA Career vs. Hair Bunkhouse Match with Terry Lawler as special referee.Sunday, August 30ROAR – Marietta, GAKiera Hogan vs. Ruthie Jay and Robyn Renegade vs. Bobbi Thunder.United Pro Entertainment – Kingsland, GABryce Cannon defends the United Pro Title against Jon Davis, plus Hunter James, Hakeem Young, Bryce Maddox, JT Paradox, Christian Taylor, and more.🎧 Get episodes early: patreon.com/tappedoutpod📺 Watch weekly on YouTube: tappedoutpod.com🎙️ Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and all major podcast platforms.👕 Grab Tapped Out Podcast merch: prowrestlingtees.com/tappedoutpod📩 Send questions and fan mail: [email protected]#TappedOutPodcast #WWE #ESPN #ESPNUnlimited #WWEPLE #WWEUnreal #NXT #NXTWomen #JordynneGrace #KevinOwens #AJStyles #AEW #AEWAllIn #WembleyStadium #KennyOmega #WillOspreay #IndyWrestling #GeorgiaWrestling #1FW #SFCW #BloodAndHoney #TotalAggressionWrestling #CoastalEmpireWrestling #GCW #ROARWrestling #UnitedProEntertainment #VaryMorales #AngelicaRisk #BryceCannon #WrestlingPodcast #ProWrestling #WrestlingNews

Is this a move that helps storytelling and gives more talent TV time, or is it really about USA Network wanting more live WWE content during WrestleMania season?Then they discuss the rumors that WWE house shows could be expanding again into smaller markets like Bangor, Huntsville, Fort Myers, Portland, Youngstown, and more. Could this be WWE finding a smarter, leaner version of live events after cutting back in recent years?
