On this special spooktacular episode of WrestleRant Radio, your ghostly host with the most Graham "GSM" Matthews gives you in-depth back-to-back reviews of this week's exciting episodes of WWE NXT and AEW Dynamite! First, he breaks down NXT and gives his thoughts on the rematch between Candice LeRae and Io Shirai and how it compared to their original encounter at TakeOver: Toronto II, Finn Balor's first promo as a heel and and why his line about Bray Wyatt wasn't necessary, Bronson Reed's breakout performance versus Shane Thorne, The Kabuki Warriors defending the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship against Dakota Kai and Tegan Nox, the announcement of a women's WarGames match happening, Cameron Grimes beating Tyler Bate thanks to Killian Dain and where it might be leading, Matt Riddle and Keith Lee taking on the NXT Tag Team Champions in the main event, why two WarGames matches could be overkill, and who Tommaso Ciampa could recruit as the fourth member of his team.
From there, GSM shares his two cents on everything that went down on Dynamite including Adam Page knocking off Sammy Guevara in the show opener, Hikaru Shida's Dynamite debut and more thoughts on AEW's women's division, The Rock 'n' Roll Express making the rounds and the possibility of them wrestling Santana and Ortiz sometime soon, why Best Friends and Orange Cassidy dressing up as Rick and Morty characters was dumb Halloween fun, The Elite dressing up as well, why AEW should do away with contract signings all together, Jon Moxley finally getting a chance to talk on TV, SoCal Uncensored becoming the inaugural AEW World Tag Team Champions (and why it was slightly disappointing), and much more!

Did you know Crown Jewel was this coming Thursday? WWE reminded viewers only a million times on Friday Night SmackDown, which featured heavy hype for the event. Graham "GSM" Matthews breaks down the uneventful episode and gives thoughts on Team Hogan vs. Team Flair, The New Day losing ahead of their shot at the SmackDown Tag Team Championship next week, Kalisto beating Drew Gulak, Daniel Bryan nearly bringing back the "Yes!" Movement, Brock Lesnar's latest attack on Dominik, the six-man tag team match main event, and much more!
In addition to all the other exciting wrestling that went down this week, Graham "GSM" Matthews opens WrestleRant Radio with his full review of IMPACT's Bound for Glory pay-per-view on Sunday! He talks NXT's newest acquisition Shotzi Blackheart facing Madison Rayne, the Call Your Shot Battle Royal and why signing Kylie Rae should be a top priority for IMPACT, their strong Knockouts division, Rob Van Dam's random heel turn, Michael Elgin vs. Marufuji, the insane X-Division Ladder match, why Ken Shamrock deserves credit for his performance versus Moose, and how Sami Callihan could still become Impact World Champion next Tuesday on IMPACT! Wrestling.
GSM then gives his full preview and predictions for WWE Crown Jewel on Halloween and discusses which matches matter and which ones don't before getting into his review of Raw from Monday night! He has plenty to say about Drew McIntyre's return and how he can be a breakout babyface on the red brand, how the ongoing angle with Bobby Lashley, Lana and Rusev continues to be terrible, Cain Velasquez's less-than-impressive attack on Shelton Benjamin, Humberto Carrillo pushing Seth Rollins to his limit, The Street Profits shining in their in-ring debut and how can they be huge on the main roster if handled properly. Finally, GSM breaks down Wednesday's episodes of NXT and AEW Dynamite featuring Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair, Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai becoming the number one contenders to the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, a tremendous Triple Threat match for the NXT North American Championship, Finn Balor's shocking heel turn, The Lucha Brothers and SoCal Uncensored advancing to the finals of the AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament, where Diamond Dallas Page's appearances could be headed, Britt Baker's homecoming in Pittsburgh, Jon Moxley vs. Pac, and more!
