WrestleRant Radio

For the first time ever, the illustrious Alexis (the girlfriend of Graham "GSM" Matthews) joins WrestleRant Radio to offer a unique perspective on the past week in WWE! The duo discuss where she last left off watching wrestling before recently and the pros and cons of the current Brand Split before reviewing Raw from Monday night, starting with Paul Heyman interrupting Roman Reigns and later teasing tension with his client Brock Lesnar. Could the pairing of Lesnar and Heyman finally be on the skids?

GSM and Alexis are also talking the pointless feud between Baron Corbin and Finn Balor, Alicia Fox apparently still being a part of the roster and her upcoming Raw match against Ronda Rousey, Bobby Lashley transitioning into a rivalry with Elias (and why it isn't exciting), Kevin Owens outsmarting Braun Strowman during their match, Apollo Crews upsetting Akam, Seth Rollins having to overcome the odds in his rivalry with Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre and who could ultimately come to his aid, The Revival returning to their winning ways, Sasha Banks and Bayley being too "buddy-buddy," Lesnar's rampage at the end of the night, thoughts on Tuesday's SmackDown Live, and much more!

Before breaking down the past week in WWE, Graham "GSM" Matthews kicks off the latest WrestleRant Radio with plenty of praise for IMPACT's Slammiversary pay-per-view event! He discusses how the event served as a turning point for the company, highlighted by an excellent world championship main event as well as multiple other matches that are worth seeking out.

Unfortunately, WWE Raw from the next night wasn't nearly as exciting, and GSM wastes no time in ranting about the show and the current sad state of the program from Roman Reigns facing Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship (again) at SummerSlam, the never-ending feud over the Raw Tag Team Championship, where the Sasha Banks and Bayley storyline is headed, Braun Strowman attacking Jinder Mahal, and Ember Moon's latest pointless victory over Liv Morgan.

On the bright side, WWE announced this week the first-ever all-women's pay-per-view, Evolution, for late October! Which matches are most likely set to take place? From there, GSM gives his thoughts on Randy Orton's great promo from the start of SmackDown Live, Paige firing James Ellsworth, AJ Styles' WWE Championship challenger for SummerSlam, who should win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship Tournament, the premiere of Miz & Mrs., Drew Gulak winning a Fatal 4-Way on 205 Live, Tommaso Ciampa capturing the NXT Championship, and much more!

In light of an extremely underwhelming Extreme Rules pay-per-view last Sunday night, Graham "GSM" Matthews looks ahead to what should be a solid Slammiversary pay-per-view from IMPACT this coming weekend and so much more! After giving his candid thoughts on Hulk Hogan being "reinstated" into the WWE Hall of Fame, GSM breaks down Extreme Rules and the biggest highlights and low points from the night. What the hell has happened to Asuka? Why did Bobby Lashley beat Roman Reigns clean? Are Rusev and Aiden English on the verge of a split? What made the main event so disappointing?

Plus, GSM has plenty to say about Monday's fairly uneventful episode of Raw despite two terrific Triple Threat matches, who Brock Lesnar will undoubtedly face at SummerSlam, the lack of logic behind Ronda Rousey's "suspension," Randy Orton's surprise heel turn and the cringeworthy ending to SmackDown Live, Daniel Bryan and The Miz possibly happening at SummerSlam, another enjoyable edition of 205 Live, and the women taking center stage on this week's NXT.

Stay tuned until the end for his full predictions for IMPACT Slammiversary this Sunday!

Ahead of WWE Extreme Rules this Sunday, Graham "GSM" Matthews is giving his full picks and predictions for every match on the advertised card on the latest WrestleRant Radio!

Fireworks are still being set off on WrestleRant Radio one day removed from the Fourth of July holiday with Graham "GSM" Matthews breaking down the week in WWE and several other happenings in the world of wrestling, starting with his full review of Ring of Honor's Best in the World pay-per-view event from last Friday night! Which wrestlers impressed him the most? What match stole the show? And what title change at the next night's television tapings rocked ROH to its very core?

GSM is also talking the first match being announced for All In in September and why it should be a barn-burner, as well as who is now all out for the event due to reportedly signing a two-year deal with WWE. Plus, he offers injury updates on Bray Wyatt, Shinsuke Nakamura and Ruby Riott ahead of Extreme Rules in addition to giving his thoughts on a weak Raw episode, why the Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin feud has no legs, Team Hell No's successful outing on SmackDown Live, Becky Lynch's redemption story, one of the best matches all year taking place on 205 Live, Chris Dijak leaving a lasting impression against Velveteen Dream, and much more!

In his full review of WWE Money in the Bank from Sunday night, GSM dishes out on what would turn out to be Big Cass' final match against Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayn suffering an injury and how long he's expected to be out for, Seth Rollins vs. Elias for the Intercontinental Championship (and why it was dumb for Dolph Ziggler to win the title the very next night on Raw), Alexa Bliss becoming Ms. Money in the Bank, the crowd crapping all over Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal, James Ellsworth returning, Shinsuke Nakamura again failing to capture the WWE Championship and what's next for him, Nia Jax vs. Ronda Rousey exceeding expectations and the surprise cash-in, and why Braun Strowman winning Money in the Bank was a good thing.
