This week on Pro Wrestling Focus, we're diving into a loaded week of wrestling news, rumors, and chaos. I give my thoughts on the passing of ECW legend Sabu and the disturbing details surrounding his final match. We also touch on Nikki Bella's wild divorce settlement with Artem Chigvintsev, and John Cena standing by his support for Vince McMahon despite the backlash. Then we break down all the major storyline developments from Raw and SmackDown—Rollins and Breakker's alliance against Punk and Zayn and Alexa Bliss confronting Charlotte Flair on SmackDown. Plus, I give my early picks for who should win this year’s Money in the Bank matches and why LA Knight and Naomi should be holding the briefcases when it’s all said and done. 

Tap in.

Backlash 2025 is in the books—and Pro Wrestling Focus is here with your full rundown! In this episode, we break down the highs, lows, and WTF moments from a wild night in WWE. From Lyra Valkyria silencing the doubters to Gunther chopping Pat McAfee into raw hamburger meat, we’ve got detailed analysis and ratings for every match. John Cena and Randy Orton closed their legendary rivalry in a chaotic, overbooked spectacle. Dominik Mysterio's IC Title defense left us underwhelmed, while Jacob Fatu continued to shine through Bloodline drama. Plus: Jeff Cobb debuts, R-Truth gets put through a press table, and we look ahead to what’s next at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Backlash is almost here, and in this special bonus episode, I’m running down the full match card and giving you my official predictions — not just on who wins, but how it all goes down. Will John Cena and Randy Orton’s final showdown live up to the hype? Can GUNTHER survive Pat McAfee and a Goldberg Spear? And what’s brewing between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa? I’m digging into all of it — including a surprise run-in or two — with straight-shooting analysis and a little speculation spice. If you want to know what’s really going down this Saturday, this is the episode for you.

This week on Pro Wrestling Focus, we're kicking off with a no-holds-barred Rundown: Alberto Del Rio is rumored to return to WWE — and we’ve got some strong words about why that shouldn’t happen. Chelsea Green locks in a new deal, and Ronda Rousey’s name is back in the rumor mill. In “The Deep Dive,” we tackle why fans complaining about Jey Uso in the main event spot are missing the entire point — entertainment value still matters. Then it’s “Heat Check” time with what's hot (Cena vs. Orton, Lyra vs. Becky, and more) and what’s not (Logan Paul vs. Jey). We close out with “What’s Next?” as we preview WWE’s upcoming Backlash event and Saturday Night’s Main Event.

WWE has released a wave of talent across the main roster and NXT — including Braun Strowman, Dakota Kai, Shayna Baszler, Cora Jade, Gigi Dolin, and more. In this episode, I break down every major release, offer insight on what may have led to these decisions, and discuss the backlash online. I get into Dave Meltzer’s “lazy” report on NXT talent, Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade’s public responses, and what all of this says about WWE’s current business strategy. From injuries and creative direction to potential locker room issues — it’s all on the table in this deep dive.

On this episode, I break down a loaded week in WWE coming off WrestleMania 41. John Cena and Randy Orton’s latest promo exchange sets the tone for their WWE Championship clash at Backlash, while Pat McAfee and Gunther head toward an unexpected collision. Aleister Black returns with a statement, Zelina Vega wins her first singles title, and Becky Lynch shows her true colors after turning on Lyra Valkyria. Plus, Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker deliver a brutal message to Sami Zayn, the Tag Titles are defended in a TLC match on SmackDown, and I give my thoughts on some of the backstage stories making headlines—including Roman Reigns' future and Liv Morgan’s major film role.

Where was The Rock at WrestleMania 41? In this special episode of Pro Wrestling Focus, we break down all the buzz, backlash, and behind-the-scenes heat following The Rock’s absence from the biggest show of the year — despite being a central figure in the John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes storyline leading into it. The Rock finally addressed the elephant in the room during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, saying he wasn’t needed at WrestleMania because Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber was, in his words, “the biggest angle in pro wrestling history.” He claimed it was time for him to “step back into the shadows.” But the controversy didn’t stop there. Rock stirred the pot further by saying he “would’ve adjusted things creatively” during the Cody/Cena build — a comment that set off Busted Open Radio’s Dave LaGreca, who accused Rock of throwing Triple H under the bus. Rock’s response? “Wrestling is a work. Stop ranting.” That clapback didn’t sit well with some in the WWE locker room, reportedly leaving a few key people feeling uneasy about his approach. I break it all down — the story, the subtext, the reactions, and what this could mean for The Rock’s future involvement with WWE creative moving forward.

WrestleMania 41 is in the books, and the chaos has only just begun. In this episode of Pro Wrestling Focus, we break down all the fallout from RAW and beyond: Bron Breakker stuns the world by aligning with Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins — is a blockbuster tag team match against CM Punk and Roman Reigns on the way? We also dissect John Cena’s dark WWE Title celebration and his vow to retire as champion, only for Randy Orton to crash the moment and RKO his way into what looks like a renewed rivalry. Rusev returns and wrecks shop, Stephanie Vaquer steps up to Iyo Sky. Becky Lynch stuns everyone with a vicious heel turn just 24 hours after capturing tag team gold. Is Backlash already shaping up to be must-see? All that and more as we look ahead.
