1️⃣ Lex and Chico recap AEW All In, and particularly break down the debut of Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed as the New Level in Tony Khan's promotion, Mercedes Mone finally winning the AEW Women's World Championship after her own expedition of gold (so to speak), Will Ospreay winning the AEW World Championship in his home country, and the return of Dr. Britt Baker, DMD, after 655 days on hiatus!

2️⃣ We also talk about the strength of the AEW Tag Team division, as Cage and Cope are surrounded by multiple legendary tag teams as soon as they were crowned champs!

3️⃣ John Cena continues to grow his apparently special relationship with Toronto's wrestling fans as after his meet-and-greets, he runs his own convention appearance and answers the fans' questions without a moderator!

3️⃣ We preview Sunday Night’s Main Event, spotlight local wrestling with The Big Event anniversary and Classic Championship Wrestling at the CNE, and remember Dolly Parton’s wonderfully strange 1980s wrestling connection with Hulk Hogan.

🎙️ Canada, lucha, legacy, and a little Dolly. That’s wrestling, baby.

1️⃣ Cody Rhodes vs. CM Punk brings intrigue, but Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins turned their World Heavyweight Championship contract signing into a scathing, personal, Shield-haunted war of words.

2️⃣Raw showed why character development still matters: Maxxine Dupri’s heel turn gave Austin Theory new heat, Otis got his heart stepped on, and Chad Gable’s El Grande Americano redemption earned him an Intercontinental Title shot against Penta.

3️⃣ Saturday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden could reshape SummerSlam, with Danhausen’s New York crossover magic, Fatal Influence chasing the Women’s Tag Titles, Lyra Valkyria unraveling against Bayley, and the Undisputed Title scene becoming beautifully chaotic.

- Sami Zayn's 9-Day reign as WWE Undisputed Champion. What worked? What isn't working? What does it set up?

- What does the picture look like going into Saturday Night's Main Event on July 18 from Madison Square Garden, and how would it look heading into the first two-night WWE SummerSlam?

- Is a romance storyline between Austin Theory and Maxxine Dupri what Theory and The Vision need to finally break out as a stable, especially surrounded by Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul and Paul Heyman?

1️⃣ Danhausen has become WWE’s most improbable crossover star, bringing casual fans in and old fans back through character work, curses, comedy, and the Knicks’ historic NBA Championship run.

2️⃣ El Grande Americano vs. OG El Grande Americano proved that the wildest wrestling ideas can become magic when everyone commits — even a lucha honor match for Mexico between two men who aren’t Mexican.

3️⃣ Wrestling doesn’t need to become normal to go mainstream. It needs to be bold, committed, entertaining, and unapologetically itself.

Lex and Chico talk about the life and legacy of Ted Turner, who got into the "wrasslin'" industry by buying Jim Crockett Promotions in the 80's and nearly took down Vince McMahon's "entertainment" company, World Wrestling Federation (now WWE)!

They tee up Saturday Night's Main event on May 23rd, AAA Noche de los Grandes as well as WWE Clash in Italy, the first ever WWE PLE in Italy! They also answer who they think should be unmasked... The "Original" El Grande Americano who wears the red, white and blue, or the taller, "Real" Grande Americano (or as Chico calls him, El "Venti" Americano!
