It's been a week of tragedy in the wrestling world with the shock passing of ROH legend Jay Briscoe.
As tributes pour in from across the industry, we mark the passing of a true wrestling pioneer, taken far too soon.
We're also talking about the build to Raw's 30th anniversary, the continuing speculation about the return of The Rock, why Bayley doesn't seem to be clicking at the moment and loads, loads more.

Well, he's back.
Vince McMahon is back in charge of WWE - and with rumours of a sale to numerous bodies continuing to float (including, potential, the Saudi Arabian government), the drama continues to mount... not least because Stephanie McMahon quit her role on the WWE board in another week full of turmoil!
Elsewhere, we saw the return of Adam Cole to AEW, and mounting speculation that The Rock will be returning to win the Royal Rumble and face Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania.
We get into it all on this week's episode - which is as chock-full of drama as ever!

2023, go home. You're drunk.
We're only six days in - and already, we've got the stories of Vince McMahon's attempted return to power in WWE; Money in the Bank coming to London; and the former Sasha Banks making her New Japan debut.
Factor in the returns of John Cena and Charlotte Flair on Smackdown; Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega tearing the house down at WrestleKingdom and a brand-new set for AEW Dynamite - and you can see why this is a bumper show to start 2023!

Chris Jericho has to be in the conversation when it comes to wrestling GOATs.
Not only is he a multiple-time world champion, but this week on Dynamite, he shocked the wrestling world once again when he put over Action Andretti out of absolutely nowhere.
We get into that on the show, plus a stellar main-event for MJF and Ricky Starks, rumours of a Brock Lesnar-GUNTHER showdown at Wrestlemania, that Double Dog Collar match between FTR and The Briscoes at ROH's weekend pay-per view and loads, loads more.

His tenure in AEW was short and sweet - but William Regal is on his way out of AEW and back to WWE.
It's one of the main stories this week, in a wrestling week that has seen Ricky Starks cut the promo of his lifetime to tee up his match with MJF, the build towards Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch continue to sizzle, Sasha Banks rumours and loads, loads more.
We get into all of that, plus the best version of the Spear, some fantasy-booking of Sami Zayn and loads more!

We're at the start of the business end of the wrestling year - and boy, is it an exciting time to be a fan!
We've got all the reaction you could possibly want to another excellent WWE pay-per-view, as WWE kept the Bloodline-Sami Zayn momentum going inside the War Games structure, and gave the women's division a shot in the arm with the return of Becky Lynch.
And in AEW, MJF made his Dynamite debut as AEW World Champion before betraying William Regal, on the same show that Hangman Adam Page returned to begin a feud with Jon Moxley.
We get into all of this and loads more on this week's episode - including what happened to all the beautiful belts, is Seth Rollins 'Mr Triple Threat' and so much more besides!

What a seven days we've had in professional wrestling.
Last Saturday, MJF fulfilled his destiny and became AEW World Champion after William Regal betrayed Jon Moxley at Full Gear - and this Saturday, we've got the joy of two War Games matches at Survivor Series.
Throw in the return of The Elite, a classic match between Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy, a home invasion at the Rey Mysterio house and so much more - and we've got plenty to get our teeth into on this week's show.
Full Gear reaction, Survivor Series preview and so much more, all on this episode.

Is it MJF's time?
That's the main question for AEW fans heading into the weekend - as AEW takes over New Jersey for Full Gear, and a pay-per-view headlined by MJF challenging for the World Championship against Jon Moxley.
We look ahead to that match and preview the whole AEW card; plus look at the card taking shape for Survivor Series: War Games; analyse ten years of The Shield; and loads, loads more.

Oh, Austin Theory.
You silly, silly boy.
With months still to go until his Money in the Bank title opportunity ran out, Theory cashed in unsuccessfully on Seth Rollins for the US Title in a headscratcher of a moment that has left us baffled!
We talk about that, AEW coming to the UK, the Usos versus New Day in the renewal of a classic rivalry - and why Charlie has too much time on his hands at Wilkos!
