WrestleRant Radio

The road to WrestleMania has given us plenty of exciting stuff so far (including the signing of Killer Kross and Timothy Thatcher to NXT!), but news coming out of today's WWE quarterly financial report conference call is that the WWE Network may be undergoing some serious changes soon and not for the better. With talk of live pay-per-views moving away from the streaming service entirely, would you stay subscribed? And is this something that may be going into effect sooner rather than later? Graham "GSM" Matthews opens this week's WrestleRant Radio with his full analysis of the statements made regarding the WWE Network's uncertain future.

In the second half of the show, GSM has plenty to say in his reviews of Raw and discusses Raw being better lately than it has in some time, Randy Orton garnering great heat for not saying a single word, Ruby Riott returning and targeting Liv Morgan, Drew McIntyre destroying Mojo Rawley, praise for the Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins rivalry and where it might be headed, a possible match for Aleister Black at WrestleMania 36, Angel Garza impressing in his Raw debut and what the United States Championship match should be for WrestleMania, Rhea Ripley confronting Charlotte Flair and if Bianca Belair will be added to the WrestleMania build, if Becky Lynch is in the process of turning heel, and Ricochet becoming the new number one contender to the WWE Championship at Super ShowDown.

Finally, GSM closes out the episode with NXT and AEW Dynamite thoughts and talks Dominik Dijakovic challenging Keith Lee for the NXT North American Championship, the great back-and-forth between Johnny Gargano and Finn Balor, Jordan Devlin's potential, the six-man tag team main event and Velveteen Dream returning afterward, matches on tap for upcoming episodes of Dynamite, Britt Baker continuing her heel turn, tension within The Elite, MJF giving Cody 10 lashes, and more!

On this day, Graham "GSM" Matthews sees clearly...because Edge has returned to WWE! He has a ton to say about the shocking development in addition to Friday's NWA Hard Times pay-per-view that featured three new champions. What outstanding interview segment do you need to see from Tuesday's episode of NWA Powerrr? GSM explains before breaking down Worlds Collide (where NXT and NXT UK went to war) and the must-see matches from the event, including Imperium vs. Undisputed Era and the dream match pitting #DIY against Moustache Mountain!

Plus, he shares his experience from the Northeast Wrestling Over the Top show from that same night and gets into his full review of the Royal Rumble! Hear his thoughts on the event's best and worst matches, Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan exceeding expectations, Drew McIntyre and Charlotte Flair winning their respective Rumbles (and why Flair's victory isn't as bad as some people think), all the surprises, Edge's emotional comeback and how his upcoming rivalry with Randy Orton could rule, Andrade's suspension and what it means for the United States Championship, Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler, MVP's return, and much more!

For the third time in two months, RJ Marceau is back on WrestleRant Radio alongside Graham "GSM" Matthews to preview this weekend's exciting events in WWE! Before breaking down the Royal Rumble, the duo discuss Worlds Collide and who will emerge victorious in the battle of the brands between NXT and NXT UK! They're talking Mia Yim vs. Kay Lee Ray on the pre-show, Finn Balor taking on Ilja Dragunov, if Angel Garza's NXT Cruiserweight Championship in the Fatal 4-Way, Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm rekindling their rivalry over the NXT Women's Championship, DIY and Moustache Mountain clashing in a dream match, and Undisputed Era and Imperium clashing in a main event of epic proportions.

GSM and RJ then get into the Royal Rumble and its loaded lineup, their favorite Rumble events and returns, Sheamus returning to face Shorty G, why Andrade vs. Humberto Carrillo for the United States Championship should've been saved for another time, Lacey Evans vying for the SmackDown Women's Championship and who Bayley will ultimately drop the title to, the only upside to Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin, Asuka's chances of beating Becky Lynch again, "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan for the Universal Championship becoming a Strap match, Shayna Baszler being the odds-on favorite to win the women's Royal Rumble, top contenders to win the men's Royal Rumble, who eliminates WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, and much more!

Despite having almost no voice, Graham "GSM" Matthews has a ton to talk about on this week's WrestleRant Radio, starting with the exciting (yet not surprising) news that AEW and TNT have expanded their partnership through 2023! He also gets into Ring of Honor's enjoyable pair of shows from over the weekend and how they can benefit from rekindling their working relationship with the NWA, how Marty Scurll may be responsible for it and the pros and cons of him reportedly becoming a booker, if he made the wrong call, Brian Cage signing with AEW and why he'll be a good fit there.

GSM also has plenty of thoughts on IMPACT losing everyone they build around, the controversy surrounding Tessa Blanchard and her winning the Impact World Championship, quick thoughts on the Hard to Kill pay-per-view, WWE officially signing Mercedes Martinez and Jake Altas to developmental deals, a full review of NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II, the Canadian Destroyer being completely bastardized, Tyler Bate and Jordan Devlin stealing the show, WWE seemingly finally pulling the trigger on Drew McIntyre and why he should win the men's Royal Rumble, why the Brock Lesnar and R-Truth segment from Raw was wildly entertaining, Buddy Murphy aligning with Seth Rollins and AOP, and much more!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Graham "GSM" Matthews opens WrestleRant Radio with the exciting news that Good Humor is bringing back the WWE ice cream bars after almost 30 years! He also gets into how you can get your name shouted-out on the show, new matches being added to Worlds Collide in two weeks, if WrestleMania would benefit from expanding to two days, NXT TakeOver specials moving to Sundays, and Mercedes Martinez reportedly signing with WWE. Did she make the right choice?

GSM then previews Sunday's IMPACT Hard to Kill pay-per-view and NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II and gives his predictions for both shows. Does Tessa Blanchard have a fighting chance of becoming Impact World Champion? And Will WALTER successfully defend his WWE United Kingdom Championship on the one year anniversary of his WWE debut?

Finally, GSM runs down his reviews of Raw, AEW Dynamite and NXT from this past week and shares his thoughts on Brock Lesnar entering the Royal Rumble as the number one entrant (and how it has the potential to be great), if Andrade and Rey Mysterio are building to a Mask vs. Title match, Big Show returning and why it wasn't as bad as some fans made it out to be, the highs and lows of Dynamite on Wednesday night (including a horrid AEW Women's Championship match), the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic kicking off, Alex Shelley reuniting with Kushida next week (and why WWE must hire The Motor City Machine Guns), Johnny Gargano vs. Finn Balor being made official for TakeOver: Portland, Chelsea Green making her NXT TV debut, Keith Lee's big win (and if a Royal Rumble victory could still in the cards), and much more!

It's a new year, yes it is! In the premiere episode of WrestleRant Radio of the decade, Graham "GSM" Matthews runs down the top 25 best WWE matches of 2019 as ranked by WWE.com! Does he agree with their list? He goes into great detail about each bout, some forgotten classics (including some from earlier this year), whether the women's main event from WrestleMania 35 was overrated, why their number one is understandable, and more! Plus, he gives his quick thoughts on Monday's episode of Raw, the first AEW Dynamite of 2020, and the winners of NXT's 2019 Year-End Awards (all while under the weather, no less!).

It's the final episode of WrestleRant Radio not only of 2019 but also of the decade, and what better way to close it out than with Graham "GSM" Matthews and the returning RJ Marceau breaking down the results of the 2019 WWE/NXT Year in Review Awards? They discuss what won in every category including the best of the WWE Network in 2019, the most memorable shows, some of the year's most intense feuds, shocking moments, most disappointing wrestlers (and why Braun Strowman should have won), the hottest fresh face to arrive on the main roster in 2019, the best returns, the highlights and low points of tag team wrestling, who won Female Wrestler of the Year by a landslide, and how the voters got it right with the Male Wrestler of the Year.

Plus, GSM and RJ have a ton to say about 2019 and how it compares to other recent years in WWE and NXT, how the past decade differs from the previous decade of their wrestling fandom, most disappointing moments, who the Wrestler of the Decade was, the best shows they've attended, their fondest and favorite memories of trips they've taken over the years, and much more!
