It was meant to be the week where the road to WrestleMania became a little clear – but in reality, injuries and uncertainty mean that EVERYTHING is still up in the air when it comes to the Grandest Stage of Them All.
We get into it all on this week's podcast - including:
- CM Punk's injury keeping him out of Wrestlemania
- 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?
Plus, as we record, some late news breaks about Vince McMahon.

The phrase ‘what a week’ doesn’t really do the past seven days justice – but still, what a week!
WWE announces that Raw will move to Netflix in a deal that overturns the way we will consume their product, The Rock joins the board of TKO, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes have an epic confrontation, William Regal returns on NXT - oh, and the Royal Rumble is this Saturday, and no-one has a clue about what we’re going to be doing at WrestleMania.
We get into it all on this week's show - including why this could be the wildest Final Four in Rumble history, surprises and suspense - and Charlie's problems with bags for life!

It happened. Hell froze over.
On Saturday at Survivor Series: War Games, CM Punk walked out at Survivor Series and back into the company that he had, ten years earlier, described as a cancer.
So this week's episode is about the biggest story in wrestling for years - why he's back, what we want to see him doing, the potential for Wrestlemania opponents, whether AEW will be kicking itself and loads more.
It's a Punktastic episode - because that's what you do when hell freezes over!

He's not signed - as far as we know - to either WWE or AEW.
But that hasn't stopped CM Punk from being one of the most-talked about things in wrestling this week - as he teases appearances in both companies this month.
We delve into that on the podcast - along with plenty of talk about Survivor Series, a full AEW Full Gear preview (including why we're happy to see a rejuvenated Hangman Page back), where is Jade Cargill and loads, loads more.
