In his abbreviated review of the September 8, 2023 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Graham "GSM" Matthews discusses Shotzi and Charlotte Flair taking on Damage CTRL and IYO SKY's next WWE Women's Championship defense, LA Knight beating Austin Theory and an update on Knight's future with the company, The Judgment Day battling The Brawling Brutes, AJ Styles vs. Jimmy Uso in the main event, if faction warfare is imminent, and more!

Ahead of IMPACT Wrestling's Victory Road event coming up this Friday night, Graham "GSM" Matthews chats with IMPACT star Josh Alexander about returning from injury to face a familiar foe in Steve Maclin, their match being called off back in Rebellion, being back ahead of schedule, if there's a different dynamic this time, working his way back toward the Impact World Championship, IMPACT's identity right now, what IMPACT 1000 means to him, who he'd want to face from IMPACT's past, and more!

From there, GSM and RJ Marceau discuss CM Punk's not-so-surprising departure from AEW last weekend and why the promotion was justified in firing him, their reaction to the news and the timing of it before a big weekend in Chicago, how it got to this point and how it could have been avoided, other parties at fault and why Tony Khan should have stepped in sooner, rumors of a return to WWE and if it's realistic, and everything else about the unfortunate situation.

GSM and RJ then shift gears to talk their thoughts on AEW All Out and specifically Ricky Starks' breakout performance, if Bryan Danielson can fill the void left behind by Punk on Collision, top takeaways from WWE Payback and the show-stealing Steel Cage match between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus, all of The Judgment Day holding gold, if a WarGames match is on the horizon, and Jey Uso joining the Raw roster. Could he be the one to end Gunther's record-setting Intercontinental Championship reign?!
