WrestleRant Radio

Ilja Dragunov is not only back, but he's also the new United States Champion! Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau share their two cents on what happened on last week's newsworthy SmackDown to kick off WrestleRant Radio before discussing whether Cody Rhodes should lose the Undisputed WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at Saturday Night's Main Event. They also give an update on the insane Andrade dilemma, non-compete clauses in wrestling and Samantha Irvin dealing with a similar situation.

From there, they recap AEW's WrestleDream pay-per-view event, including Mercedes Mone capturing yet another championship (what's the endgame?!) and a polarizing "I Quit" main event between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley. Plus, hear their thoughts on Seth Rollins having to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship, if the follow-up to the big angle with The Vision was disappointing, CM Punk vs. Jey Uso fighting for the vacant title at Saturday Night's Main Event and who will win, and FULL PREDICTIONS for Saturday's NXT Halloween Havoc event!

They share their expectations for the event before discussing the situation with Santos Escobar, whose WWE contract expired earlier this week only for him to re-sign soon after. They do a deep dive on how his main roster run hasn't lived up to expectations and what him sticking around might mean for his future. They also analyze WWE's seemingly-never-ending search for the next breakout Hispanic star in the same way Rey Mysterio was years ago.
