  • Why Every King and Queen of the Ring Match Is a Four-Way (And Roman Is a Heel) — Wrestling Uncensored 783

    Dave Simon and Johnny North on the week WWE spent in Italy, and turned a throwaway tournament into the most important thing on the show. Every first-round King and Queen of the Ring match is a fatal four-way; the winners get a SummerSlam title shot, and Dave has thoughts about all of it.

    • Why WWE is booking every first-round match as a four-way is either genius or held together with tape

    • The Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins finish that you have to go back more than 25 years to explain

    • The take that starts the arguments: Roman Reigns is a heel, and the crowd hasn't caught up yet

    • What Roman is actually doing to Jacob Fatu — and why LA Knight is the only one saying it out loud

    • LA Knight or Seth Rollins for the King of the Ring? Two completely different SummerSlams

    • Dave names the single best in-ring performer in all of WWE — and it might surprise you

    • The WWE glass ceiling: why women have to earn it, and certain men get to fail upward

    • MJF's knee is in real trouble heading into Forbidden Door — is it a work or the real thing?

    • Mercedes Moné is back in the Owen Hart Cup, and the women's bracket finally has a star

    • Kevin Knight turns heel, joins the Don Callis Family, and complicates a Montreal hometown moment

    • AEW Redemption is coming to the Bell Centre — and the tickets aren't moving yet

    • The greatest King of the Ring of all time, settled once and for all (Dave will not hear arguments)

  • Sean Strickland Banned From the White House? UFC Vegas 118 Picks & PPV Dies in Canada
    The UFC middleweight champion says he's blacklisted from the biggest event in company history — and what he's doing about it has no precedent. Justin Gaethje responded, and the exchange Dave reads on air is as vicious as anything two elite fighters have ever said publicly. Plus Belal Muhammad returns this Saturday in a fight the oddsmakers literally cannot agree on, and Canadian fans finally get the pay-per-view answer they've been waiting for. Dave Simon and AJ D'Alesio get into all of it.

  • Colby's Gone, Dana's Wrong, and UFC Freedom 250 Has Real Problems
    Colby Covington is out of the UFC — but the version of events he's selling doesn't quite hold together. Dana White opened his mouth in Time magazine, and the quote that came out has the MMA world talking. And UFC Freedom 250 is weeks away with some very real, very unanswered questions surrounding it. Dave Simon and AJ D'Alesio get into all of it.

    • The real story behind Colby Covington's UFC exit — and why the narrative he's pushing falls apart
    • Something Colby wanted badly that he didn't get — and Donald Trump's answer that stings most
