The Good Friday edition of Friday Night SmackDown for April 15, 2022 was far from great, especially with the absence of Roman Reigns. What's next for him, anyway? And why was there no follow-up to his confrontation with Shinsuke Nakamura from last week? Graham "GSM" Matthews gets into his thoughts on the tag title unification match being made official for WrestleMania Backlash, Naomi and Rhea Ripley ripping it up, why Madcap Moss needing a complete overhaul as a babyface, Drew Gulak apparently joining the broadcast team before being attacked by Charlotte Flair, Drew McIntyre beating Sami Zayn by count-out for the second straight week, Ricochet successfully defending his Intercontinental Championship against Jinder Mahal, Riddle vs. Jimmy Uso in the main event, and more!

Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau kick off this week's WrestleRant Radio discussing their respective anniversaries of when they started watching wrestling and planning ahead for WrestleMania 39 before getting into all of the new names joining SmackDown and WWE going overboard with the name changes, if Ronda Rousey will win the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania Backlash and the possibility of her headlining with Charlotte Flair (for real this time), Roman Reigns' next challenger and how he can lose both of his world titles in the coming months.

The duo also discuss what Tony Khan's latest announcement could be and his recent comments about AEW detractors being bots, how Cody Rhodes has been presented perfectly thus far, if Seth Rollins is headed for a face turn, Veer Mahaan destroying Dominik Mysterio and what the future holds for Dominik, Tommaso Ciampa making his official Raw debut, how the Ezekiel angle has exceeded expectations, Sonya Deville returning to the ring to challenge Bianca Belair for the Raw Women's Championship, why the unification of the tag titles is for the best, and a full breakdown of Wednesday's AEW Dynamite featuring Samoa Joe vs. Minoru Suzuki and the underwhelming debut of Satnam Singh.

The post-WrestleMania 38 edition of Friday Night Smackdown for April 8, 2022 not only introduced some fresh faces but also set the stage for what we'll be seeing going forward on the blue brand. Graham "GSM" Matthews shares his thoughts on the overall show including Ronda Rousey challenging Charlotte Flair to an "I Quit" match at WrestleMania Backlash, the in-ring debut of Butch and Xavier Woods dropping his king moniker, the arrival of Gunther and Marcel Barthel's name change, Raquel Gonzalez debuting as Raquel Rodriguez, Lacey Evans returning as a babyface, Madcap Moss turning babyface and if he has potential, Drew McIntyre taking on Sami Zayn, Liv Morgan's big win over Sasha Banks, Roman Reigns revealing his next step and Shinsuke Nakamura seemingly stepping up as his next challenger, and more!

Ahead of his anticipated induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, The Undertaker spoke with Graham "GSM" Matthews for WrestleRant Radio and their interview airs on this week's episode! They talk being inducted, why Vince McMahon made the most sense to induct him, if he ever gets the itch to return to the ring, who he sees from the current roster being the faces of the future, and more!

RJ Marceau then joins GSM to give their overall thoughts on NXT Stand & Deliver as well as the apparent release of now-former NXT Tag Team Champion Nash Carter before reviewing both nights of WrestleMania 38 featuring a solid undercard for Night 1, the celebrities impressing, Bianca Belair besting Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship in a barn burner, Cody Rhodes returning and being presented as a star, Charlotte Flair retaining her SmackDown Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin stepping back in the ring to take on Kevin Owens, and the ups and downs of Night 2 including a slightly underwhelming championship unification main event.
