Three massive wrestling events in just seven days?

Okay, go on then - we'll get into all of them on the podcast today, as we break down another whirlwind week in professional wrestling. 

We're discussing Bash In Berlin, NXT No Mercy, and AEW All Out, including:

- why NXT didn't pull the trigger on a Joe Hendry title reign

- why Sami Zayn and Gunther could take us all the way to WrestleMania

- just how violent is Swerve and Hangman going to be on Saturday

- why Charlie is the Mick Foley of professional rugby!

GET IN TOUCH WITH THE PODCAST:

Well, AEW delivered.

In front of 50,000 at Wembley, Tony Khan's promotion put on a stellar show, full of surprises, show-stealing matches and a feel-good title change that everyone wanted to see.

On today's podcast, we break it all down, including:

- Why we're not ready to see Bryan Danielson walk away

- The return of Jon Moxley

- Big international moments for AEW, compared with low domestic attendance

- WWE runs Berlin 

- Could Joe Hendry end the weekend as NXT Champion

GET IN TOUCH WITH THE PODCAST:

For the second straight year, AEW takes over Wembley Stadium for AEW All In - with a card full of consequences and, in the case of Bryan Danielson, the potential ending of a career.

We take a look at AEW packing 50,000 into the legendary stadium (no mean feat in and of itself!) and which matches we're looking forward to - as well as whether there might be any potential surprises that Tony Khan springs (we're looking at you, Ricochet and Shane McMahon!)

We're also casting our eye over the Bash in Berlin card, talking about why now is the right time for Joe Hendry to win the NXT Championship - and Charlie has some confessions about his distance running training!

GET IN TOUCH WITH THE PODCAST:

What's the bigger match for Roman Reigns - Jacob Fatu, or Solo Sikoa?

As the return of the Tribal Chief as a mega-babyface continues, we chat about whether the right member of the New Bloodline is being focused on! 

Plus:

- Is this a golden era for babyface pops?

- Drew and Punk tease a strap match!

- AEW deliver a little bit of gold on the road to All In!

- Terrible, terrible finishing moves!

GET IN TOUCH WITH THE PODCAST:

It was one hell of a Summerslam - with more than 50,000 people jamming out the Cleveland Browns Stadium for the biggest event of the summer.

Roman Reigns returned, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre finally clashed, Dom betrayed Rhea Ripley - and new champions were crowned!

We break down the whole show on this week's podcast, including where this leaves us heading into Bash in Berlin, the possibilities for War Games, who is over-delivering on the WWE roster right now, and loads, loads more.

GET IN TOUCH WITH THE PODCAST:

There's so much on this week's podcast - from Punk vs Drew being made official for Summerslam to Damian Priest's surprisingly awesome run as a babyface to the pure chaos of Blood and Guts on AEW Dynamite. 

Factor in continuing questions over whether Dom and Liv are fooling anyone - let alone Rhea Ripley! - more Joe Hendry greatness, and a brilliant weekend for TNA at Slammiversary, and there's loads for us to get into on this week's podcast.

So, that's exactly what we're going to do!
