Are you ready for Raw, SmackDown and NXT to go to war at Survivor Series this Sunday? More importantly, do you care? Putting aside how the brand supremacy nonsense means next to nothing, Graham "GSM" Matthews analyzes the go-home edition of Friday Night SmackDown for Survivor Series and breaks down Toni Storm randomly being added to Team NXT, Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Rhea Ripley, the brand-new Intercontinental Championship belt design, Undisputed Era winning again, the build for AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamua vs. Roderick Strong, and Styles' knock on Chicago and CM Punk.
Plus, hear his thoughts on Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz getting cut short, The Fiend's appearance, Bayley attacking Shayna Baszler, the six-man tag team main event, the crazy tri-branded brawl that closed the show, and much more! It's that time of the year again! RJ Marceau returns to WrestleRant Radio once more to help Graham "GSM" Matthews break down the cards for the jam-packed weekend coming up including NXT TakeOver: WarGames III and Survivor Series! They discuss the recent Twitter exchange between WWE and AEW stars, Matt Riddle replacing Johnny Gargano against Finn Balor, a new number one contender's match added to TakeOver and who will win, the two WarGames matches and which one should main event, and where Dakota Kai might factor in.
GSM and RJ also get into their Survivor Series predictions and who they think will reign supreme when Daniel Bryan challenges "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship, how mind boggling it is that Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville were left off Team SmackDown for the women, who Team NXT will consist of, Lana's terrible promo from Raw, why AJ Styles defeating Roderick Strong and Shinsuke Nakakmura should be a given, Erick Rowan's new gimmick, Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff from Survivor Series 2003, how Randy Orton is a Survivor Series expert, the magic of Survivor Series 2002, how Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Shayna Baszler has been the best built match going into the show, why Rey Mysterio should beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, chances of CM Punk showing up, and much more. Between all that and some rare football talk toward the end, it's a can't-miss episode! LISTEN ON: iTunes ~ Spotify ~ Stitcher ~ Google Play ~ TuneIn ~ iHeart Radio ~ Podbean With CM Punk's shocking appearance on WWE Backstage this past week breaking the internet, Graham "GSM" Matthews opens WrestleRant Radio with a whole heap of thoughts on his deal being with FOX and not WWE, how it could possibly lead to him getting back in the ring eventually (and whether that's even necessary), why it wouldn't be any time soon (including Survivor Series in Chicago), potential opponents for him, what he brings to Backstage as an analyst, the show's terrible rating last week and how that might change with Punk joining the crew, why he was wise to choose Backstage over AEW, and much more.
In the remainder of the show, GSM breaks down Sin Cara requesting his release from WWE and why it won't likely be granted, an update on the Jordan Myles situation, a full review of AEW Full Gear from Saturday night with thoughts on the polarizing main event, MJF's brilliant betrayal of Cody and his newfound alliance with Wardlow, Christopher Daniels and Luchasaurus returning from injuries, the issue with the finish to the main event on Dynamite, matches lined up for next week, Lio Rush defending his NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Angel Garza, changes made to the NXT TakeOver: WarGames III card, the fantastic Ladder match main event, the unexpected ending, and quick thoughts from Monday's Raw!
