It was a relatively tame show this week for the blue brand, at least compared to the past few weeks and especially compared to Monday's Raw. Graham "GSM" Matthews breaks down the March 10, 2023 edition of Friday Night SmackDown and shares his thoughts on Roman Reigns being absent from the episode, the Intercontinental Championship number one contender's Fatal 5-Way match ending in controversy and why it merely delayed the inevitable, Rey Mysterio being announced as the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023 and his latest interaction with Dominik Mysterio, The Judgment Day vs. Legado del Fantasma, The Viking Raiders beating Braun Strowman and Ricochet and why it's a filler feud, Charlotte Flair vs. Shotzi, the Rhea Ripley and Flair verbal exchange underwhelming, Jey Uso explaining his actions, Sami Zayn saving Cody Rhodes from The Usos, and more!

For the first time ever, WWE Hall of Famer Kane is on WrestleRant Radio! He talks to Graham "GSM" Matthews about his upcoming episode of "Biography: WWE Legends" on A&E, his iconic debut and at what point he felt the Kane character was truly established, his rivalry with The Undertaker, what he attests his longevity to, if the character would work today, becoming mayor and what his wrestling career would've looked like if he wasn't successful, filming See No Evil and why he prefers the wrestling ring, his favorite time of his career, if one more match is in the cards, and more!

GSM and RJ Marceau then discuss WWE Backlash emanating from Puerto Rico this May and a potential match for the host Bad Bunny on the show, why WWE adding more international events to its premium live event schedule is a positive, Sarray's departure from NXT, the top takeaways from AEW Revolution and high praise for the AEW World Championship Iron Man match, why MJF is such a star and if he's already re-signed, why the Texas Death match was a low point, Ruby Soho's heel turn, FTR returning to rekindle their rivalry with The Gunns, House of Black becoming the new AEW World Trios Champions, Wardlow winning the AEW TNT Championship before losing it to Powerhouse Hobbs on Dynamite, an ongoing issue with the product, and on-site report from Monday's Raw in Boston from Mr. Marceau, including a rant on John Cena's complete verbal burial of Austin Theory and how it could be difficult to bounce back from.
