Earning The Push is a weekly show for wrestling fans to do the two things they love - talk about the business, and about what they would do if they were in charge. Broadcaster Jack Murley and professional rugby player Charlie Beckett will be analysing what’s happening across the wrestling world, and getting you involved with the fantasy booking of angles from the past, present and future. It’s a show that’s open to everyone - and we want you to get involved. TWITTER: @charlie_beckett @jack_murley EMAIL: earningthepushpodcast@hotmail.com

We thought it would deliver - and boy, did it ever!
Will Ospreay and Danielson met the sky-high expectations that were set for them at AEW Dynasty by delivering an all-timer of a match, on a show that saw a new AEW World Champion crowned and the return of Jack Perry.
We get onto all of that - plus Becky Lynch becomes Women's World Champion for the seventh time, Dominik Mysterio looks like he may stray from Rhea Ripley, the internet shamefully shames Sheamus, Charlie fantasy books a 'Summer of Drew' - and loads, loads more.

We're back, baby!
And we're returning from a fortnight off with a bang - as we look back at why WrestleMania XL was an all-timer, how WWE is smashing it with its new production techniques, Rhea Ripley's injury nightmare, and AEW preparing to serve up a Sunday of superb wrestling at AEW Dynasty.
Plus why the Usos match failed to deliver, the ridiculousness of AEW airing the the CM Punk-Jack Perry footage, Paul Heyman's Hall of Fame speech and loads, loads more.

AEW is Mone, Cody slaps The Rock, Danielson versus Ospreay is confirmed and WrestleMania is getting a ladder match – it’s all happening in wrestling this week, and it’s all coming up on this week’s Earning The Push.
We talk about AEW's huge show from Boston for their 'Big Business' themed Dynamite where the former Sasha Banks made her debut, and discuss how that could invigorate AEW's women's division - and the promotion in general.
Plus, Cody Rhodes gets a slap in on The Rock (although it barely made it to air), Sami Zayn earns an IC Title shot at WrestleMania - and John Cena gets naked at the Oscars!

Farewell to the Icon, hello to the Rainmaker – and the stakes for WrestleMania becoming clearer, it’s been another big week in professional wrestling.
On this week's episode, we're talking about how AEW hit a home-run in how it handled Sting's retirement, how Darby Allin defied the odds against with a brutal ladder spot, why AEW has a massive few weeks ahead of it, the pure cinema of The Rock acknowledging Roman Reigns on Smackdown, Paul Heyman entering the WWE Hall of Fame - and your thoughts on whether Drew is the best heel in the business right now!

From the Land Down Under to the Grandest Stage of Them All – the road to WrestleMania is now looking a little clearer after Elimination Chamber emanated from Perth.
Some storylines reached a natural conclusion, some surprising issues were ignited - and meanwhile, in AEW, we prepare to say goodbye to an icon this weekend at Revolution.
We get into all of it on this week's podcast - how Rhea Ripley is a star, Tiffany Stratton maximising her minutes, AJ Styles flying half-way round the world to batter LA Knight, and whether Dominik Mysterio is the right man to dethrone Gunther... no, really!

So, we can all breathe. After a week of turmoil, things are a little bit clearer about where we’re going for WrestleMania – and man, is the road to the Grandest Stage of the Them All looking exciting.
A heel Rock, an empowered Bloodline, Cody calling his right shot and so much more besides - and what happens in Vegas definitely doesn't stay in Vegas after a sensational press conference in Sin City!
We're talking about WWE calling a massive audible and why it was best for business, Seth Rollins stepping up, whether Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch could be the biggest women's match ever and loads, loads more!

At the risk of sounding redundant, what a week in wrestling.
The main event of Wrestlemania? Who knows? Is The Rock a face or a heel? Who knows? Will we get answers any time soon? Who knows? Feelings running high, tensions boiling over – amongst fans, wrestlers, pundits, everyone – and we’re talking all about it on this week’s Earning The Push.
We talk about the Earth-shattering decision by WWE to insert The Rock into the Wrestlemania main event scene at the expense of Cody Rhodes; the 'Rocky Sucks' chants on Raw; how WWE can fix the damage they've done; the segment of fans who actually LIKE this creative - basically, we try and break this all down, and hazard a guess at what the outcome could be!

- Who steps up to take his place?
- Reaction to Wrestlemania, including Jade Cargill, Jordynne Grace and more
- Whether the Bloodline is running out of steam?
