After briefly previewing Super Bowl LVIII and the Chiefs' dominance in recent years, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau get into what the entire wrestling world has been buzzing about for the past week: the WrestleMania 40 debacle with The Rock, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Hear their thoughts on last week's SmackDown segment and why it lacked logic, if WWE did indeed pivot with the press conference, if WWE's intent was to shift focus away from the ongoing Vince McMahon scandal and why it'll get worse before it gets better, if a massive tag team match is in the cards for 'Mania and why it likely won't happen at Elimination Chamber, Rock's new role at WrestleMania and how he could potentially face off with Rollins one-on-one, long-term storytelling with Rock and Reigns heading into next year, and why it's imperative that Reigns vs. Rhodes doesn't turn into a Triple Threat with Rock.
GSM and RJ then get into the rest of the news from the eventful week including Bayley vs. IYO SKY for the WWE Women's Championship also being made official for 'Mania, who will win the women's Elimination Chamber match, Tiffany Stratton debuting on SmackDown and a possible WrestleMania opponent for her, which brand Bron Breakker and Jade Cargill will end up on, who Gunther could lose the Intercontinental Championship to at WrestleMania, thoughts on NXT Vengeance Day and what's in store for Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams and Ilja Dragunov at Stand & Deliver, an update on the most likely landing spot for Kazuchika Okada and if he could debut at AEW Big Business along with Mercedes Mone, her long-term outlook in AEW's women's division, Scott D'Amore being fired from TNA, the AEW World Championship match being made official for Revolution, and Sting and Darby Allin capturing the AEW World Tag Team Championship on Dynamite. Did The Rock Just Steal Cody Rhodes' WrestleMania Match? (WWE SmackDown Review - February 2, 2024)2/3/2024 It's a super-sized SmackDown review as Graham "GSM" Matthews has a ton to say about the February 2, 2024 episode including several Superstars signing with the blue brand, Logan Paul and Kevin Owens resuming their rivalry over the United States Championship, Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne winning the Fatal 4-Way tag team qualifier, Bayley cementing her split from Damage CTRL and choosing to challenge IYO SKY for the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 40, B-Fab joining Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits against The Final Testament, Tiffany Stratton making her SmackDown in-ring debut against Michin, and the absolutely asinine closing segment with Cody Rhodes essentially handing his WrestleMania main event against Roman Reigns to The Rock. What the hell happened?!
Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau open this week's WrestleRant Radio with a deep dive of the Vince McMahon allegations and the fallout, how it affects WWE going forward and why he should be held accountable for any other wrongdoing, why Brock Lesnar could very well be done with WWE for good, and Triple H's response to the situation at the Royal Rumble press conference and how it could have been handled better.
Speaking of the Royal Rumble, the two review this year's Rumble matches and if the delivered, the various surprises and if there enough of them, if Bayley and Cody Rhodes winning their respective Rumble matches was the right call and which champions they'll choose to challenge, the latest commentary shake-up for Raw and SmackDown, and CM Punk's terribly-timed injury causing a drastic change to WrestleMania 40 plans. What does this mean for his eventual return? Who does Seth Rollins defend the World Heavyweight Championship against now? And what will the rest of the card look like now?! |
