For the fourth consecutive month, RJ Marceau is back on WrestleRant Radio alongside Graham "GSM" Matthews, this time to preview and predict NXT TakeOver: Portland this Sunday! But before then, GSM gives his thoughts on all of the wrestling shows coming to his neck of the woods in the next few months, John Cena returning to SmackDown in two weeks and who he should face at WrestleMania 36, Shayna Baszler biting Becky Lynch on Raw and initial thoughts on the angle, Matt Hardy seemingly being written off WWE TV and what the future holds for him, Wednesday's excellent episode of AEW Dynamite, Jeff Cobb's debut, and Nyla Rose becoming the new AEW Women's Champion.
Don't miss out on the candid conversation between GSM and RJ as they discuss the debut of the XFL and their first impressions of the league, TakeOvers moving from Saturdays to Sundays, how the Tegan Nox vs. Dakota Kai feud has been handled thus far, if Dominik Dijakovic will cut Keith Lee's reign as NXT North American Champion short, Johnny Gargano's chances of victory versus Johnny Gargano, if Bianca Belair will insert herself in the NXT Women's Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania, the depleted tag team division and what will happen even if The BroserWeights win the NXT Tag Team Championship, Simone Johnson being signed to NXT, if we'll see Killer Kross make an appearance, if Adam Cole's days as NXT Champion are numbered, Daytona 500 predictions, and more!

After a solid string of shows earlier on in the year, the blue brand is already back to delivering forgettable television, but at least the two hours did produce some entertaining matches and moments. In his complete review of the episode from February 7, Graham "GSM" Matthews gets into the return of The Dirt Sheet, The Usos vs. Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode and whether we could see those teams get involved in the SmackDown Tag Team Championship picture come WrestleMania 36, why Elias beating Cesaro doesn't mean much, the never-ending rivalry between Roman Reigns and King Corbin, "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt defending his Universal Championship against Goldberg at Super ShowDown, Daniel Bryan's SmackDown return and where he goes from here, Shinsuke Nakamura demanding a rematch for Braun Strowman's Intercontinental Championship, Sheamus squashing Apollo Crews, Carmella becoming the new number one contender to the SmackDown Women's Championship and why it works as a filler feud before WrestleMania, and much more!
The road to WrestleMania has given us plenty of exciting stuff so far (including the signing of Killer Kross and Timothy Thatcher to NXT!), but news coming out of today's WWE quarterly financial report conference call is that the WWE Network may be undergoing some serious changes soon and not for the better. With talk of live pay-per-views moving away from the streaming service entirely, would you stay subscribed? And is this something that may be going into effect sooner rather than later? Graham "GSM" Matthews opens this week's WrestleRant Radio with his full analysis of the statements made regarding the WWE Network's uncertain future.
In the second half of the show, GSM has plenty to say in his reviews of Raw and discusses Raw being better lately than it has in some time, Randy Orton garnering great heat for not saying a single word, Ruby Riott returning and targeting Liv Morgan, Drew McIntyre destroying Mojo Rawley, praise for the Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins rivalry and where it might be headed, a possible match for Aleister Black at WrestleMania 36, Angel Garza impressing in his Raw debut and what the United States Championship match should be for WrestleMania, Rhea Ripley confronting Charlotte Flair and if Bianca Belair will be added to the WrestleMania build, if Becky Lynch is in the process of turning heel, and Ricochet becoming the new number one contender to the WWE Championship at Super ShowDown. Finally, GSM closes out the episode with NXT and AEW Dynamite thoughts and talks Dominik Dijakovic challenging Keith Lee for the NXT North American Championship, the great back-and-forth between Johnny Gargano and Finn Balor, Jordan Devlin's potential, the six-man tag team main event and Velveteen Dream returning afterward, matches on tap for upcoming episodes of Dynamite, Britt Baker continuing her heel turn, tension within The Elite, MJF giving Cody 10 lashes, and more!
