WrestleRant Radio comes to you live two days removed from an entertaining WWE Elimination Chamber event, and on host Graham "GSM" Matthews' 20th birthday! He wastes no time in getting into the shocking news of Ring of Honor joining Destination America starting this Wednesday and what it might for TNA going forward. Do TNA have only themselves to blame for their failures?
During his review of Elimination Chamber, he gives his candid thoughts on why the two Chamber matches underwhelmed yet why the two main event matches exceeded expectations. And if you didn't already hear, Kevin Owens beat John Cena clean! He praises the matchup and its result, as well as explains why the conclusion to the event (the dusty finish to Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins) was well done.
Last but not least, GSM briefly discusses Monday's Raw and the stage being set for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view in less than two weeks. Is it too obvious that Roman Reigns is winning the briefcase? Other topic points include Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast with Paul Heyman on the WWE Network, Austin vs. Brock Lesnar, a potential booking idea for an Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania 32, the poor state of the Divas division, Ryback's big title victory, and more!

With only five more days to go until WWE Extreme Rules, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau are joined by special guest Andre to give their full picks, preview and predictions for each match on the card! First and foremost, however, they break down the news that Seth Rollins' Curb Stomp finisher has been banned from WWE! What was the reasoning behind it, and will he find a new (good) finisher? In other news from Raw on Monday night, more seeds were planted for a Kane babyface turn, but it remains to be seen whether he'll play a factor in the main event of Extreme Rules between Randy Orton and Seth Rollins.
Also, more details were revealed about Tough Enough on Monday night, which the trio talk about along with what their thoughts were on The Miz and Damien Mizdow being rushed on Raw. Was Miz going over the right move?
