Ben, Khal, and Brian kick off the show by discussing whether or not John Cena’s heel turn was bigger than Hulk Hogan’s in 1996 (1:05). Then, David joins in, and they all discuss the following:

  • Iyo Sky is the women’s world champion (13:47)
  • Jade Cargill attacked Naomi and the role Bianca Belair had in everything (28:22)
  • CM Punk went after his enemies and brawled with Seth Rollins (40:25)
  • In Nostalgia Freakz, they look back at Goldberg’s 23-second win over Kevin Owens in 2017 to become WWE Universal champion (49:55). Then, they go to the Worldwide Hotline and react to calls regarding the best segments of all time and wild-card picks for the United States championship at WrestleMania 41 (64:03).


    Read David’s new piece on The Ringer, where he details John Cena’s long-awaited heel turn.
