Episode Details

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine rank the biggest stories in wrestling this week, and neither knows the other's list ahead of time.

On the AEW side, Kyle Fletcher laid down the challenge for Will Ospreay's AEW World Championship at Full Gear on November 14 in Phoenix after beating Jack Perry on Dynamite, reminding everyone he beat Ospreay at Full Gear 2024. The guys weigh that history against Ospreay's steel cage win at Revolution and debate whether Fletcher is the right challenger, with both men also set for the Blood & Guts match on November 4.

On Raw, Bayley tapped out Lyra Valkyria in a no disqualification match for her first singles win since April, and Garrett and Paul look at where a feud that has run all year goes next. Then it's the return of the Wednesday Night War: with The CW's midterm election coverage bumping NXT from Tuesday, WWE is putting a loaded NXT head-to-head with AEW Dynamite: Blood & Guts on November 4 in Jacksonville, and the guys break down how the two shows stack up.

They also dig into reports that Shawn Michaels could take over Bruce Prichard's role leading WWE's creative writing and talent, what that would mean for NXT and how much of it is still rumor. Finally, they cover WWE Crown Jewel changing venues in Riyadh ahead of its November 7 date and what the move says about WWE's plans in Saudi Arabia.
