Can Randy Orton vs. Edge at Backlash truly be "the greatest wrestling match ever" coming off the barn burner that was Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles from Friday's SmackDown? Graham "GSM" Matthews gives his full review of the episode including Jeff Hardy tossing urine into Sheamus' face (...), Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro beating the SmackDown Tag Team Champions in non-title action and what may have happened to the planned program between The New Day and The Forgotten Sons, AJ Styles becoming the new Intercontinental Champion and why should challenge him for the gold, Bayley coming into her own as a heel, why the six-man tag team main event was entertaining yet ineffective, and more!

There's no shortage of topics to talk about on this week's WrestleRant Radio, and to open the episode, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau immediately delve into their thoughts on NXT TakeOver: In Your House! Did the bursts of nostalgia make up for the lack of live crowd? They discuss the six-woman tag team match, Finn Balor defeating Damian Priest in what may have been the best bout of the night, Keith Lee surprisingly retaining the NXT North American Championship against Johnny Gargano and if the NXT Championship is in his sights, the first-ever NXT Back Lot Brawl between Adam Cole and Velveteen Dream, Karrion Kross dominating Tommaso Ciampa in his TakeOver debut, and Io Shirai finally capturing the NXT Women's Championship in the main event.

From there, the duo give their two cents on the recent Ric Flair documentary on WWE Network, the continuation of the rivalry between The Street Profits and The Viking Raiders, Charlotte Flair beating Asuka in the main event of Raw, FTR and The Young Bucks planting the seeds for a future clash, the pros and cons of Penelope Ford pinning Hikaru Shida in tag team action on AEW Dynamite, Cody vs. Jake Hager for the AEW TNT Championship being announced for Fyter Fest, the grand reveal of Santos Escobar's new faction on NXT, Dream and Dexter Lumis potentially joining forces, if Karrion Kross is next in line to challenge for Cole's NXT Championship, Tegan Nox and Shotzi Blackheart vying for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship next week, Imperium defending the NXT Tag Team Championship against Breezango, and more!

Stay tuned until the end of the show for GSM and RJ's full preview and predictions for Sunday's Backlash pay-per-view!

Graham "GSM" Matthews breaks down another surprisingly above-average edition of SmackDown (at least by recent SmackDown standards) and gets the worst out of the way first by ranting about The Miz and John Morrison bullying Braun Strowman and why it may have been bad timing. From there, he discusses why Kurt Angle would be a better manager for Chad Gable than Matt Riddle, if Sheamus attacking Jeff Hardy was a (literal) red herring and if it actually could have been Sami Zayn behind it, why an Otis vs. King Corbin feud is a good idea, Mandy Rose costing Sonya Deville a match against Lacey Evans, Drew Gulak scoring an upset victory over AJ Styles, Shorty G continuing his winning ways, Sasha Banks and Bayley regaining the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, and more!

Graham "GSM" Matthews is joined by one-half of Raw Tag Team Champions, Montez Ford, to talk The Street Profits' recent rivalry with The Viking Raiders on Raw! Ford has a lot to say about how important it is to provide fans with entertainment during these strange times, how more Superstars could benefit from going outside of the box and being granted creative freedom, what other skits we can expect from the two teams, how it's been working alongside his wife Bianca Belair on Raw, if he ever thought he and Angelo Dawkins wouldn't win the NXT Tag Team Championship, how it compared to winning the Raw Tag Team Championship in Brooklyn, what the plans were when they were called up to the main roster, becoming a "meme" by vigorously shaking the ring ropes, kind words that Shad Gaspard had for him before he passed, how he planned on spending his 30th birthday, and more!

RJ Marceau and GSM then give their full preview and predictions for Sunday's NXT TakeOver: In Your House event! Hear their thoughts on Nia Jax injuring Kairi Sane on Raw, WWE reportedly banning the buckle bomb, if Damian Priest will rise to the occasion against Finn Balor, Karrion Kross taking on Tommaso Ciampa in his first TakeOver match, if anyone is on WWE's radar right now to sign, if Rhea Ripley and Io Shirai have lost momentum lately and it's a must-win situation for Shirai in the Triple Threat at TakeOver, how NXT can improve its tag team division, if NXT will be hurt by multiple Superstars getting called up to the main roster, Johnny Gargano vying for Keith Lee's NXT North American Championship, and if Velveteen Dream is the right guy to end Adam Cole's lengthy NXT Championship reign.
