Raw came to play this week. For the first time in a long time, Monday night walked in with a main event that could genuinely go toe-to-toe with AEW — Chad Gable leading the charge against everything All Elite threw back. So the question is real for once: is the gap finally closing, or is this a one-week blip in a year-long blowout?

We've scored Raw vs AEW head to head all season, and this week's point was the most hotly contested one yet. We break it down, we cast our votes, and we settle it — and Jared, as always, gets his say last.

Where does it leave the year-long score? You'll have to watch to find out.

AEW 21, WWE 10. At this point it's not a rivalry, it's a formality. We've scored Raw vs AEW head to head all year, and the gap just keeps getting more embarrassing. This week: the latest point, and whether WWE has a single answer left.

Then the promo punishment lands on Brett — and his assignment is a tough one: explain Jared Swanson. The player who finishes dead last at every single Royale, seemingly on purpose. Nobody's cracked why. Brett's going to try.

One year in, and the game's only getting deeper. Next Royale's coming 8/30 — get in the Discord so you're ready when picks open.

Two new champions were crowned at SummerSlam — the US and Intercontinental titles both changed hands on Night 2 — and this week we break down every result, every reaction, and everything that went down across both nights.

Then the part that matters most to us: Jared Holmes walked into SummerSlam as champion and walked out still holding the belt. The most decorated player in Pick The Push history defends again. Plus the fallout from the Royale, the top scores, and who's next in line.

Also — the WWE vs AEW scorecard hit a new low for WWE at 20–10, and Ian owes everyone a promo after Joe vs Brett's personal SummerSlam showdown. That happened. We get into it.

SummerSlam is this weekend — one of the biggest cards of the entire year — and it's the next Royale event. This week we break down every featured match and show you exactly where the points are hiding before picks close.

But first, we have to talk about what happened at Redemption. Ian got his fourth shot at the championship he built and has never held — and it went worse than any of the three before it. Buried. Trashed. And now this. The cursed architect's story continues, and it is not pretty.

Plus the WWE vs AEW scorecard rolls on — AEW 19, WWE 8.

SummerSlam picks are open now. This is a major — five featured matches, double the points on the board. Jump in.

AEW Redemption might be the most stacked card of the year — and "Painmaker" Chris Jericho vs Tommaso Ciampa in a No Holds Barred match is just the start. This week we break down every match on the card and show you where the Royale points are hiding.

Plus, the one that matters most to us: Ian finally gets his shot. After a year of building the championship and never winning it — three title shots, three losses, the "he'll be third until he dies" curse — the cursed architect challenges Jared Holmes for the title at Redemption. One more thing stands in the way. This is the go-home.

And the WWE vs AEW scorecard rolls on — AEW 19, WWE 9.

One year of Pick The Push. And to celebrate, we did something a little ridiculous: we made real, 3D-printed trophies and handed out our first-ever awards. Welcome to The Pushies.

This week we crown the best of Year One — every category, every winner, a full year of the Royale honored in one night. Plus the WWE vs AEW scorecard rolls on (AEW 18, WWE 8) as we hand out another point in a race that stopped being close a long time ago.

One year down. Here's to the next one.

AEW 18, WWE 8. The gap only got worse. We've scored Raw vs AEW head to head all year, and it's officially not a competition anymore. This week: the latest point, and whether WWE has anything left.

Plus — one year of Pick The Push, and we're throwing an awards show. The Pushies go down next week, 7/17, and this week we're walking through every single category so you know exactly what's up for grabs.

And this week's promo punishment might be the most ridiculous yet: Brett has to convince Ian he doesn't actually want the championship — the same title Ian's spent a year chasing and finally gets a shot at against Jared at Redemption. Good luck with that one, Brett.

Two new champions were crowned this weekend — and one of them was ours. AEW's Forbidden Door and WWE's Night of Champions ran the same weekend, and the biggest Royale we've ever done is in the books. Full results inside.
This week: the year-long WWE vs AEW scorecard (AEW leads 17–8), then the Forbidden Door of Champions results — Jared Holmes dethroned Joseph 57–38 to become a three-time champion, and in a finish nobody saw coming, Ian tied for the top Royale score to break the "he'll be third until he dies" curse and earn a one-on-one title shot at AEW Redemption on 7/26.

Then we sit down with the new champ himself, and we announce something a year in the making: The Pushies — our first-ever Pick The Push awards show, going down 7/17.

Two companies. One night. WWE's Night of Champions and AEW's Forbidden Door land on the same weekend — and the Royale is wide open no matter which side you follow. This is the biggest one we've ever run.

This week: we hand out the latest point in the year-long Raw vs AEW scorecard, then sit down with our #1 Contender Jared Holmes — five-time Royale winner, two-time champion — before he challenges Joseph for the title. The legend speaks ahead of his shot.

Then we break down the full card, match by match, and show you where the points are hiding. Picks are open now — this is the one to jump in on.

AEW 15, WWE 8. WWE finally got on the board this week — and they're still down seven. We've scored Raw vs AEW head to head all year, and the gap is still a canyon. This week: the latest point, and whether WWE's lone win means anything or it's already over.

Plus: Kenny Omega opened the show by squashing Tony Nese in 90 seconds, Dom Mysterio tried to bribe Danhausen into cursing Oba — it did not go how Dom planned — and the road to Jared vs Joseph keeps building toward the next Royale title match.
