WrestleRant Radio

It was another electrifying episode of Raw on Monday night, this week's edition emanating from England!

Is a babyface turn imminent for The Big Red Monster? John Cena went up against Bad News Barrett in the latest U.S. Open, but the crew has some criticisms of the concept: is it necessary to have the champion/challenger kick out of the other's finishers every week? And who else could step up to face Cena for the title?

In other Raw news, Big Show laid out Roman Reigns in impressive fashion, and with an encounter at Extreme Rules likely, GSM, RJ and Jake discuss the continuation of their feud and why it must end... immediately!

With WrestleMania 31 come and gone, Graham "GSM" Matthews, RJ Marceau and special guest Randy Cruz are still reeling from the wild week in wrestling, including the shocking news of AJ Lee's WWE departure.

Coming off a historic WrestleMania 31 event, Graham "GSM" Matthews, RJ Marceau and a guest analyst break it all down on a special two hour edition WrestleRant Radio, kicking it off with the pre-show and Big Show winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

In the second half of the show, they talk about the Divas match and John Cena vs. Rusev for the United States Championship. Was it wise for Cena to hand Rusev his first loss in WWE?

Feeling lucky? It's a very special St. Patrick's Day edition of WrestleRant Radio this week as Graham "GSM" Matthews flies solo to break down Monday's Raw, including all the latest updates and additions to the WrestleMania 31 card. To kick things off, GSM gives his general thoughts on how the WrestleMania card is shaping up, concerns regarding its potential to be mediocre, what match is likely to steal the show, and more. He also talks Sting's surprise appearance at the end of Raw and if his match against Triple H has more of a reason to be the main event of 'Mania than WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns.

Speaking of which, Lesnar and Reigns are confirmed to be confronting each other on next week's episode, but is it too little too late for fans to care? GSM talks Paul Heyman's recent phenomenal performances, why Rusev and Lana should never split up, the lackluster build for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and why the build for the Intercontinental Championship Ladder match has been a joke thus far.

With only three weeks to go until WrestleMania 31, WrestleRant Radio is full of thoughts from Monday's (atrocious) episode of Raw, including the confirmation of several new matches to the 'Mania card.

What was the reasoning behind it, what's next for him, and did he deserve a final farewell before leaving? On the subject of Superstars splitting the company, Brock Lesnar has been in the news this week for his shocking appearance at UFC 184. The panel question if his "falling out" with Vince McMahon will affect his upcoming title defense at WrestleMania and whether he's UFC bound.

From there, GSM, RJ and Sal review Raw from Monday night, including Jon Stewart's critically acclaimed segment with Seth Rollins. Will it benefit Mr. Money in the Bank in the long run?
