WrestleRant Radio

In an absolutely stacked WrestleRant Radio, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau attempt to break down one of the most newsworthy weeks in wrestling all year, starting with former NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose's shocking release from WWE on Wednesday. They discuss the circumstances surrounding the situation, double standards, what's relevant and what's not, what it all comes down to, and whether we'll see her back in WWE down the road.

Sasha Banks reportedly being done with WWE and being New Japan Pro-Wrestling bound was also a hot topic this past week, as well as her rumored appearance at Wrestle Kingdom 17, if an AEW run is in the cards, and why leaving WWE will make her a bigger star in the long run. They also have plenty of thoughts on Vince McMahon possibly planning a WWE comeback and why it shouldn't happen, Triple H reportedly being "severely underwhelmed" by a handful of the people he's brought back and who's to blame, John Cena returning to SmackDown on December 30th and what he'll have in store, Matt Riddle reportedly failing a drug test for a second time, Alexa Bliss and Seth Rollins winning number one contender's matches on Monday's Raw, Bobby Lashley getting "fired," Roxanne Perez winning the NXT Women's Championship, and quick thoughts on NXT Deadline, ROH Final Battle, and the Winter Is Coming edition of Dynamite!
