COLD OPEN QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What would Kaz’s version of a "John Cena Classic" look like?
David and Kaz kick off the show comparing Kaz’s New York Knicks to Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns before recapping everything that happened at Backlash this past weekend. They get into:

  • Whether Backlash was partly the WrestleMania show WWE’s writing team actually wanted to put together
  • Is the Seth Rollins-Bron Breakker feud over?
  • Why this Trick Williams-Sami Zayn match was better than their WrestleMania match (and take a slight detour into Zayn and other WWE superstars’ reported pay cuts)
  • Asuka’s potential retirement
  • Danhausen’s mainstream appeal
  • How strong Jacob Fatu came out of the main event
  • Whose stock rose most after the PLE?


    • They close out the show talking Darby Allin’s successful AEW World Championship defense over PAC at Fairway to Hell, as well as Jack Perry’s pending free agency and if he could potentially be WWE-bound.
