The fellas are back for another blockbuster episode of the 3-time award-winning Devon & The Duke podcast!

In Episode 71, Devon and The Duke deliver their signature blend of hilarious, fun-loving banter alongside major, never-before-heard wrestling scoops that you won't find anywhere else.

Here is what’s on deck for this week’s episode:

• The Heatwave vs. The Sunshine State: The episode kicks off with Duke complaining about the sudden, brutal heatwave hitting Boston, while Devon rubs it in by bragging about working on his tan and swimming down in lovely Florida.

• The Michael Phelps Challenge: Duke tries his best to work Devon into a high-stakes swim-off against Olympic legend Michael Phelps, but Devon isn't having any of it.

• Duke vs. Victor Wembanyama?! The conversation shifts to the hardwood when Devon points out the jaw-dropping height of San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama. Duke takes immediate offense to Wemby's 7'6" frame, boldly claiming he could easily cross Wemby up on the basketball court and dunk right on him! Devon hilariously shuts him down, reminding Duke he wouldn't stand a single chance.

• Biting Off More Than He Can Chew: Devon questions Duke’s recent life choices—wondering why he keeps picking fights with giants. First, it was Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and now it's an NBA superstar?

• WWE, Saudi Arabia, and Current Geopolitics: The fellas dive into the serious side of the business, discussing the recent WWE staff and talent meeting. Leadership once again affirmed they are moving forward with their upcoming Saudi Arabia events, despite growing locker room concerns surrounding the ongoing Iran War.

• Exclusive Untold Vince McMahon Story: In a massive, never-before-heard exclusive, Devon reveals an untold story from the lead-up to WWE's very first Saudi Arabia show. He breaks down how Vince McMahon quietly allowed talent who felt unsafe to opt out of the trip with absolutely zero professional punishment or backstage heat. Devon expresses his hope that the current TKO/WWE leadership will extend that same grace to the roster given today's tense global circumstances.

• The Beast Attacks Oba Femi: The show wraps up with a deep dive into the shocking return of Brock Lesnar, who completely leveled Oba Femi to close out Monday Night RAW this week.

• WrestleMania Cold Feet: Duke immediately calls out Devon for getting cold feet. Devon had previously joked he was heading to WrestleMania to help Brock defeat Oba, but never showed up. Devon defends himself, reminding Duke he’s officially retired from the ring—but promises he will happily take on Oba Femi the exact same day Duke finally steps up to fight Cody Rhodes!

Episode 69 of the 3-time award-winning Devon & The Duke may be the most controversial episode to date. This week, Devon and the Duke bridge the gap between the grassroots of the industry and the cold reality of corporate boardrooms.

The show opens with a salute to Rudy Boy Gonzalez. A legendary trainer and promoter, Rudy’s work with the Texas Wrestling Academy and Texas Wrestling Entertainment has shaped the careers of countless stars. We discuss Rudy’s recent support for the indie scene and specifically the tag team of TNT. Devon and the Duke break down the history of Rudy’s excellence and explain exactly why Terrence and Terrell have earned their spot back at the top of a major promotion.

The conversation then takes a sharp turn into the latest round of WWE/TKO roster cuts. With members of The New Day among those being let go, the Duke pulls no punches regarding the ethics of TKO executives. We dive into the disconnect of cutting world-class talent while leadership clears multi-million dollar bonuses, and the Duke issues a direct demand for these "fat cats" to start doing right by the wrestlers who provide the labor for their profits.

Inside this Episode:

• Respecting a Legend: The impact of Rudy Boy Gonzalez on the Texas wrestling scene and the future of indie talent.

• The Rise of TNT: Why Devon’s sons, Terrence and Terrell, are ready for the next level and the work they’ve put in to get there.

• The TKO Accountability Check: A breakdown of the latest roster cuts and the controversy surrounding executive bonuses.

• Standing for the Talent: The Duke’s unfiltered message to corporate leadership regarding the treatment of veteran performers.
