WrestleRant Radio - January 5, 2023

By Graham "GSM" Matthews

The first WrestleRant Radio of 2023 is nothing short of newsworthy as Graham "GSM" Matthews first welcomes WWE Raw Superstar Kevin Owens for an exclusive interview! They're talking him teaming with John Cena on the final SmackDown of 2022, reflecting on his great year including facing "Stone Cold" Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38 and when he found out about it, re-signing with WWE, his new mindset, logic in WWE, if he has goals for 2023, and more!
​
From there, GSM wastes no time getting into the breaking news regarding Vince McMahon planning his comeback to WWE, as confirmed by the former company chairman himself. GSM gets into why it would be a massive step backward, his true intentions, holding them hostage ahead of their upcoming negotiations for television rights deals, bringing back George Barrios and Michelle Wilson, letters he wrote WWE, and the potential consequences this situation could have.

Plus, GSM has plenty of thoughts on WWE announcing the Money in the Bank pay-per-view for London this summer, Raw's first show of the year being an uneventful one, if Cody Rhodes will announce his entry into the men's Royal Rumble match ahead of time, highlights from NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17, the debut of Mercedes Mone and if she'll indeed be Saraya's partner on AEW Dynamite next week, and a quick recap of Wednesday's excellent edition of Dynamite featuring Darby Allin regaining the AEW TNT Championship from Samoa Joe.
