We get into all of it here on this week's podcast - including All In reaction, whether CM Punk returns to WWE, some amazing wrestling moments at All Out and Payback and loads, loads more.

This is an episode we never thought we'd be recording.
But with news breaking late on Thursday about the tragic passing of Bray Wyatt, we honour the legacy of the man who was taken far too soon - yet left a remarkable legacy of creativity and indelible moments in the world of professional wrestling.
We also look ahead to a massive weekend at Wembley as AEW prepares to make history with All In, as we break down the matches, the potential outcomes, surprise and loads more.

Hmm. Hmmmmmmm.
That was the reaction that most people had to this weekend's SummerSlam - as Jimmy Uso turned on Jey in the main event, Brock Lesnar rode off into the sunset, and Logan Paul stole the show once again.
We get into a show that has divided fans across the wrestling spectrum and break down the good, the bad and the ugly of the biggest party of the summer.
We also get into the build to AEW All In - and whether Cole or MJF will turn - plus Sting;s resurgence and so much more!

It's the biggest show of the summer - and WWE is preparing to rock Ford Field for the first time since 2007 as it brings SummerSlam to Detroit.
We'll preview an absolutely stacked card - including whether Jey Uso is the right man to dethrone Roman Reigns in Tribal Combat; how Asuka, Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair could steal the show; and why Ricochet NEEDED Logan Paul to make this feud work.
We also salute AEW as All In looks like it could be the biggest wrestling show ever - and look at the official announcement of MJF vs Adam Cole as the Wembley main event.
Plus the latest on the Vince McMahon investigation and loads, loads more!

Why Tribal Combat could be one of the greatest matches in Summerslam history? Is it time for MJF and Adam Cole to win tag-team gold? Why has Ronda Rousey become so forgettable? And does size matters when it comes to heel turns?
They're just some of the things that we're delving into on this week's podcast - as the road to Summerslam and All In continue to hot up.
Plus Impact Wrestling's announcement of a UK tour - and one year since Vince McMahon's 'retirement'!

We're all being spoiled as wrestling fans at the moment - and this week is no exception.
AEW put on two hour-long spectaculars, as FTR and Bullet Club Gold put on a clinic on Collision, and the Golden Elite and the Blackpool Combat Club go to war on Dynamite.
We get into that on this week's podcast - plus Seth Rollins and Finn Balor with a major backstage segment, Dominik Mysterio wins North American gold in NXT, Brock Lesnar beats up Cody Rhodes in front of his momma on Raw, and so, so much more!

Does it get any better than Tribal Court on Smackdown?
As the Bloodline storyline continues its unrelenting march of greatness, we break down an epic segment on Smackdown - plus the first on-air teases of an Edge retirement, Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar at Summerslam, Logan Paul and Ricochet and more!
And on the AEW side of things, we look at how MJF and Adam Cole was the partnership and friendship we never knew that we needed, whether AEW Collision is a better programme than AEW Dynamite, Samoa Joe-CM Punk, Blood and Guts and plenty more besides!

It's been a while, hasn't it?
But Charlie has FINALLY got his WiFi sorted on his trip Down Under - and it couldn't have come at a better time - because we have got so much wrestling to talk about!
We're diving into Money in the Bank, a huge hint that Wrestlemania will come to London, Brock Lesnar's return to Raw, Adam Cole and MJF's odd-couple tag team in AEW and so, so much more!

Do you love it or do you hate it?
Opinions are very much split about the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship that was introduced on WWE Raw - with some feeling you need it to make the brand split viable, and others believing it kills Roman Reign's title reign and devalues the Wrestlemania finish with Cody.
We get into that on this week's show - plus the decision of CM Punk to swing by backstage at WWE Raw, the build to Backlash in Puerto Rico, the WWE Draft and loads, loads more on an absolutely cracking episode!

Is AEW the UK's top wrestling promotion?
With Wembley Stadium pre-sales for All In already in the tens of thousands and speculation that a third AEW show could air on ITV, is it hard to disagree with the statement that UK fans prefer Tony Khan's brand to WWE?
It's just one of the topics we get into on today's podcast - along with the dangers of being a WWE security guard after a Cody-Lesnar pullapart on Raw, how Rey Mysterio would make a perfect title contender at Money in the Bank, why Rhea Ripley and Solo Sikoa is a confrontation we'd pay to see and loads, loads more!
