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!

Ahead of WWE NXT Deadline this Saturday, NXT star Apollo Crews joins Graham "GSM" Matthews on WrestleRant Radio to talk all about his upcoming opportunity at the NXT Championship against Bron Breakker, his experience so far being back on NXT, why it was the right time for it, the brand hitting the road again with Vengeance Day, why winning the title would mean more this time around than it would have years ago, and more!

GSM and RJ Marceau then share their thoughts on some notable names at this week's WWE tryouts, why the third hour is killing Monday Night Raw, The Usos successfully defending the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship, who will win next week's number one contender's matches and why Alexa Bliss must turn heel, AEW reportedly having nothing for Miro creatively, an update on William Regal's AEW departure and why he wants to return to WWE, the excellent verbal exchange between MJF and Ricky Starks on AEW Dynamite, two terrific title matches on the show, if FTR could be on their way out of AEW come the spring, and full previews and predictions for AEW Winter Is Coming, Ring of Honor Final Battle, and NXT Deadline!

Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau ring in the holiday season on WrestleRant Radio with a complete on-site report from WWE Survivor Series last Saturday! Hear their thoughts on the WarGames matches and if the match should be brought back to Survivor Series ever year, which WarGames bout was better, if Damage CTRL is officially damaged goods coming off their latest loss, mapping out the women's matches for WrestleMania 39, AJ Styles beating Finn Balor, Ronda Rousey's weak SmackDown Women's Championship match against Shotzi, Austin Theory regaining the United States Championship, and the strong storytelling in the main event.

What's next for The Bloodline following their victory? The duo also discuss the endgame for Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens and if it involves a Royal Rumble win for Zayn, Owens vs. Roman Reigns reportedly happening at the Royal Rumble, where Cody Rhodes fits into all of this, if they truly believe The Rock will return in time for 'Mania, and William Regal apparently exiting AEW for WWE!

On this special Thanksgiving edition of WrestleRant Radio, Graham "GSM" Matthews airs his exclusive interview with WWE Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair! They're talking Survivor Series weekend, her journey and character development as champ, rediscovering the magic of NXT's women's division with Triple H now in charge, why this reign is her redemption story, her key to staying beloved, the possibility of turning heel again down the road and aligning with Montez Ford on screen, why a WrestleMania match with Rhea Ripley is inevitable, and more!

Plus, predictions for Saturday's Survivor Series pay-per-view, including who will win in WarGames!

On this week's WrestleRant Radio, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau have plenty of praise for the mean streak Austin Theory showed on Monday's Raw. Will it be what ultimately takes him to the next level and earns him a WrestleMania match with John Cena come the spring? Speaking of The Show of Shows, will "Stone Cold" Steve Austin end up returning to the ring at WrestleMania 39? And if so, who against? They also have updates on both the women's and men's WarGames matches, who will occupy each team, and AJ Styles vs. Finn Balor being made official for Survivor Series.

The duo then discuss the likely possibility of Bron Breakker vs. Apollo Crews at Deadline, Zoey Stark's first heel promo on NXT, Alba Fyre's latest loss to Mandy Rose, a fairly flat edition of Dynamite on Wednesday, and FULL PREDICTIONS for Saturday's AEW Full Gear pay-per-view event!
