Pop ’n Heat – Episode 42
(Yes… we accidentally called it Episode 43 in the recording. Math is hard. Wrestling is harder.)

On this week’s episode of Pop ’n Heat, we break down February 2nd Monday Night Raw, and while we’re at it, dive headfirst into what it all means for the Royal Rumble fallout. Who helped themselves? Who raised eyebrows? And who’s quietly positioning themselves for something bigger?

From there, we lock in our early WrestleMania predictions, talking potential main events, title paths, and which matches feel inevitable versus which ones might still swerve us hard.

Then it’s time for our weekly favorites as we crown Top of the Pop and Hottest of the Heat, based on who’s truly firing on all cylinders right now.

We also hit the socials and hot takes, including:

• The latest buzz around Chris Jericho’s rumored return

• Nikki Bella’s concerns about the men’s division

• Why Paul Heyman doesn’t think Seth Rollins should be wrestling more cautiously

• And a whole lot more chaos, speculation, and strong opinions

Strap in — the road to WrestleMania is heating up, and so are we. 🔥🎤

Episode 41 is locked and loaded!

We kick things off with a quick-hit recap of last week’s SmackDown and Raw, including the brutal Three Stages of Hell Match between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre — and yes… AND NEW! 👀

We break down Gunther’s strategic (and very sneaky) tap-out win over AJ Styles, Carmelo Hayes’ smooth run, ask the important question of why Giulia is still even here, and hit all the moments that mattered.

From there, we jump into WWE current events on The Social, before wrapping things up with our predictions for January 16 SmackDown and January 19 Raw.

Hot takes, questionable opinions, and absolutely no apologies — let’s go. 🔥

Pop ’n Heat is back for episode 40 and we’re kicking off the new year the only way we know how—by diving headfirst into the chaos of WWE. We break down SmackDown from January 2 and Raw from January 5, react to Randy Orton’s feel-good return, and gush over the beautiful chaos of Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley proving that love really does conquer all. We debate whether Cody Rhodes is inching closer to a full-blown heel turn, mourn (once again) our sad little hero Chelsea Green losing her title, and crown our Top of The Pop and Hottest of The Heat for the week. Plus, we run through updates on potential superstar returns and all the moments that had us yelling at our TVs.

New year, same Pop ’n Heat energy.

It’s a post-Christmas clean-up on Pop ’n Heat as we break down the holiday editions of WWE Raw and SmackDown—and somehow things got even more unhinged than usual.

This week we’re talking:

Joe Hendry’s absolutely ridiculous backup dancers (because of course that happened), the new United States Champion and what it means going forward, the ongoing Austin Theory “Theory” (yes, it keeps evolving), Bianca Belair and whether a major return could be on the horizon, Chris Jericho rumors and why a WWE comeback might not be as crazy as it sounds, and so much more!From festive chaos to serious speculation,

Episode 38 has laughs, hot takes, and just enough wrestling logic to keep things spicy.

Pop ’n Heat – Episode 37 is finally here, and we’re explaining exactly why we vanished for two months — fair warning, it involves medical stuff and a healthy dose of ick. After surviving the hiatus, we dive headfirst into the BIG thing we somehow missed while we were away: John Cena’s final match, and why missing that moment feels almost criminal. From there, we catch up on the Christmas episode of Monday Night Raw, breaking down Gunther’s heat reaching dangerous new levels, the women of Judgment Day starting to implode, and Rhea Ripley’s very noticeable admiration for IYO SKY. We also talk about the hooded figure reveal being none other than Austin Theory, and why we’re not fully buying what WWE is selling — which leads us to our latest deep dive, the “Theory” Theory, where we connect the dots and speculate on what might really be going on. We’re back, we’ve got opinions, and we’re ready to make up for lost time.
