Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 72
Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue react to one of the biggest title changes of the year, a King of the Ring victory that raises as many questions as it answers, and a rivalry that suddenly feels a little too real.
The road to SummerSlam just got a whole lot more interesting.
Show Notes
• Sami Zayn Is Champion… Now What?
We have a new champion, and it's Sami Zayn.
Ryan and Dom break down what the title change means for WWE moving forward. Is Sami a true long-term champion? Or is this a transitional reign designed to get the title from Point A to Point B? The Wroundtable discusses where Sami fits at the top of the card and who should be next in line.
• Gunther's Crash-Out… Is Nick Aldis About to Lace Up the Boots?
Gunther completely lost it on Nick Aldis, and it may have consequences beyond a fine or suspension.
Ryan and Dom discuss whether this could finally be the moment Aldis steps back into the ring. Is WWE setting up one more run for the SmackDown General Manager, or is this simply a way to raise the stakes heading into SummerSlam?
• King Oba Femi: The Right King… But the Wrong Prize?
Oba Femi wears the crown, and Ryan and Dom agree WWE got the winner right.
But here's the question:
If Oba Femi is already confirmed to face Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam, what exactly is the point of giving the King of the Ring winner a guaranteed championship match?
Does the stipulation actually raise the stakes... or does it unintentionally telegraph that Oba won't be cashing in his title opportunity anytime soon?
The Wroundtable debates whether WWE has backed itself into a creative corner—or whether there's a twist coming that nobody sees.
• Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns: This Feels Different
Some rivalries feel scripted.
This one doesn't.
Ryan and Dom talk about why the tension between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns feels unusually authentic—and whether WWE is quietly planting the seeds for one of the most emotional reunions in modern wrestling history.
Could the original Shield ride together one last time?
All that and more on Episode 72 of Wrasslin' Wroundtable—where championships have changed, kings have been crowned, and SummerSlam is shaping up to be something special.
