It's the final episode of WrestleRant Radio in 2018, and for the sixth straight year, Graham "GSM" Matthews is joined by the legendary RJ Marceau to help break down the 2018 WWE/NXT Year in Review Awards, as voted on by YOU over the month of December! In addition to giving their overall thoughts on the year that was for WWE and what they hope to see in 2019, they're talking what's worth watching on the WWE Network and WWE 24 continuing to deliver, the best main roster and NXT shows of the year, which feud was the most personal, Daniel Bryan's big announcement from March and other shocking moments from 2018, WWE's most disappointing Superstars, the most memorable return, the best match of 2018 (and why NXT was far superior to the main roster from an in-ring standpoint), Undisputed Era ruling tag team wrestling, a debate over who the real women's wrestler of the year was, the close call for Wrestler of the Year, and much more!

Mere days removed from their experience at Ring of Honor's Final Battle pay-per-view live from New York City, Graham "GSM" Matthews and returning guest Alexis DiGiacomo give their full review of the exciting event! They're talking how ROH compares to WWE, the atmosphere in the arena, the biggest highlights and low points, Eli Isom vs. Kenny King kicking off the night, the exciting ROH World Television Championship match, the WOH World Championship changing hands, Zack Sabre Jr.'s ROH debut, an on-site report of Matt Taven's scary bump, Marty Scurll vs. Christopher Daniels, why the "I Quit" match might have been the best bout on the card, Cody's swan song versus ROH World Champion Jay Lethal, and the insanity of Ladder War VII in the main event.
Then, in the final few minutes of the show, GSM gives his two cents on Sunday's TLC pay-per-view as well as what the latest "shake-up" means for WWE and how it really isn't much of a shake-up at all, the McMahons being back in charge and what will happen to Paige, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn returning, several stars from NXT getting called up, how nothing will change until the writing of the shows changes, and much more!

On this week's WrestleRant Radio, Graham "GSM" Matthews sits down for an exclusive interview with two special guests to discuss the debut of the show on the new network: W.O.W. creator David McLane and current Impact Knockouts Champion Tessa Blanchard! They're talking how Women of Wrestling ended up on AXS TV and why it's the perfect platform for the show right now, what will make this upcoming season different from past seasons, goals they aim to achieve with Women of Wrestling and what it will mean for women's wrestling on the whole, how it compares to McLane's original vision for G.L.O.W., how wrestling promotions can benefit from working with each other, the roster for W.O.W. and who else Blanchard would like to see on the show in due time, her run in IMPACT Wrestling thus far and how much she's seen the Knockouts division grow in the short time she's been there, if signing with WWE down the road remains a goal of hers, a potential dream match with Charlotte Flair, how she's evolved everything about herself in recent years, what else she wants to accomplish in her career, and much more!
