 #AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews, answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week's edition touches upon a variety of topics including:

 Seth "Freakin" Rollins Brawled with CM Punk Before Exchanging Words with Sami ZaynWhat an excellent opening segment. Not only did Punk establish his goal going forward of wanting to headline WrestleMania in a world title match, he also effectively rekindled his rivalry with Rollins. Well, at least Rollins attempted to. I love how Punk mentioned how Rollins was more concerned with him than the other way around now that Rollins isn't a champion anymore. Their brawl was brief, but what we then got from Rollins and Zayn on the mic was even better. They successfully set up the night's main event in the process. Every minute of this near-30-minute opening segment felt must-see.
Exclusive: Raquel Rodriguez Talks WarGames, Liv Morgan Reunion and Battling an Autoimmune Disease12/2/2024  Saturday's Survivor Series premium live event saw Rhea Ripley's star-studded squad reign supreme over Women's World Champion Liv Morgan's in WarGames. Raquel Rodriguez was among those who went to war alongside Morgan and fought valiantly before eating defeat.
Rodriguez is no stranger to the double cages, as it was four years ago that she herself won a WarGames match for her team by pinning IYO SKY. That monumental milestone put her on the path toward becoming NXT Women's Champion, a feat she ultimately accomplished the subsequent spring. Reflecting on that career-changing night in 2020 inspired Rodriguez, who spoke to WrestleRant for an exclusive interview ahead of Survivor Series about the opportunity to return to WarGames, being back on WWE TV following a long layoff, reuniting with Morgan, and more.  Rhea Ripley, WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair, Bayley, IYO SKY and Naomi def. Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae in a WarGames MatchI was adamant coming into this event that women's WarGames did not need to happen this year and that this could've easily been an elimination tag team match instead. I was hopeful they would have a great match regardless, but this ended up being boring early on, sloppy and poorly structured. The effort was there, but it felt like (similar to past years) they relied too heavily on the weapons because there was very little story. Yes, there were several intertwining feuds, but again, it wasn't necessary for this to take place inside the two cages. Ripley hitting Riptide on Morgan through a table for the finish was cool, but this was easily the weakest women's WarGames matchup to date.
 Thunder Rosa def. Harleygram (Harley Cameron)Rosa previously beat Cameron in a Day of the Dead match on Collision earlier this month, but Cameron came in this match wearing a mask pretending she was someone else. It was more dumb fun from Cameron, and while it isn't necessarily my cup of tea and I find it to be terrible television, it seems to be getting over with the AEW faithful. This was another solid match from these two, but I'm just ready to see Rosa do something more meaningful.
