The Alleged Wrestling Podcast

We kick off the show by doing a quick recap of last weekend's action from NXT Takeover Brooklyn 4 and WWE Summerslam.

Ambrose and Rollins rushed out in riot gear to help Roman Reigns keep the Universal Title on Raw. The Shield are back but was that a heel turn? Why didn’t they wait until the bell rang? So many questions...

Becky Lynch is being forced as a heel as the fans loudly cheered her every word. Why cant WWE just go with the flow? Why do they always fight what the fans want? Isn't Charlotte the heel here??

We also cover the rest of this week's action on Raw and Smackdown Live!

There was so much going on in the world of wrestling this week that we didn’t even get to recap Raw and Smackdown!

We discuss the sad passing of Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart before getting into a quick chat about Colt Cabana taking legal action against CM Punk after their victory in the defamation case against WWE’s head doctor. Why don’t they go after WWE for the money together?

A quick chat about Randy Orton's antics backstage leads us to the big story of the week...

Dave Meltzer faced the wrath of Peyton Royce, her WWE friends and of course twitter after his comments about Peytons “enhanced appearance” so to speak. Is what he said really that wrong? Are people really that easy to offend? Is outrage culture out of control?

The ROH/NJPW event sold out MSG in a matter of minutes. Could this merger ever be true competition for WWE? We also recap the final weekend of the G1...

We close out with predictions for WWE Summerslam 2018 and NXT Takeover Brooklyn 4

Conor McGregor is making his return to the UFC. A quick chat about what could be the biggest fight in MMA history.

The new President of NJPW has banned swearing...is this a slippery slope?

Cody and The Young Bucks finally reveal the broadcasting options for ALL IN. Is $40 too much for this show?

Another mixed week for WWE TV. Raw was pretty forgettable but Smackdown continues to impress!

We're pretty sure this weeks episode of Raw was a re-run. You know the one where Joey and Chandler swap apartments with Monica and Rachel?

Brock Lesnar showed up to Raw with some sort of red championship. Roman Reigns called him names and such. They finally got a “we want Roman” chant and they didn't send him out...what are they doing to the guy?!

Thankfully Smackdown was great again this week. Samoa Joe is incredible on the mic, heel Orton is killing it and we had a great tag team match. However...Becky Lynch's title match at Summerslam has been made into a triple threat after Charlotte showed up. Is Charlotte the female Roman Reigns?

Matt Riddle is heading to WWE....what to expect!

Is this weeks Tommaso Ciampa vs Aleister Black match the greatest NXT Title match to date? The boys wax lyrical about the greatness of Ciampa as an old school heel and how to get to Ciampa vs Gargano at Wrestlemania weekend.

WWE finally announced the long rumoured all female PPV. Stephanie McMahon was of course sent out to do it because she invented womens wrestling. Why didn't they get Paige to do it?

Finn Balor is being hugely mishandled in WWE, a rant…

Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar at Summerslam. Are they out of their minds??

Randy Orton goes full on heel again.

Another good Smackdown show this week closes with The Miz pushing his stupid reality show. A debate is had.

There’s only one place to start: Hulk Hogan is reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame and, by proxy, has a new WWE contract. The New Day and Titus O'Neil have made statements on the matter, does Hulk Hogan need to be back in 2018 after all that has happened?

NJPW G1 28...our matches to watch from the first few days!

We have a quick review of WWE Extreme Rules from last weekend before getting into TV from this week. Raw started off really well with a great opening match and fleshing out the story around Brock Lesnar and his so called Title. Bayley and Sasha Banks had a moment this week. Is this going where we think it is? Can WWE handle this potential storyline correctly without offending people?

Smackdown was brilliant this week and we spend more time on that segment that we ever have! The quiet building back up of Becky Lynch. The Nakamura/Orton/Jeff Hardy US Title picture. AJ Styles and Andrade Cien Almas - is Almas being positioned for a title feud with AJ? The Miz divides opinion again...Steve wants to know why people are freaking out over Miz vs Daniel Bryan.

We cover the rest of the stuff from WWE TV this week before ending with a few podcast recommendations for the week!

This week's episode is brought to you by…ALCOHOL!

After a truly awful Raw and a boring Smackdown this week we focused on the good stuff at length to open the show.

We covered Brock Lesnar's appearance at UFC 226 last weekend and discuss what it means for the mythical Universal Title.

We then moved on to the newsworthy NJPW G1 Special from San Francisco. Bullet Club was nearly whole again until the Tongan faction attacked Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks. Bullet Club Elite vs Bullet Club Firing Squad? Don't turn your back on the wolfpack…

After a quick recap of this week's Being The Elite we unfortunately got around to talking about this weeks terrible episode of Raw. It's a rant-fest that shouldn't be missed. Itsy. Bitsy. Balor.

We quickly went over Smackdown before making our Extreme Rules Predictions.

This show went off the rails in a beautiful way. It may be the best show we have ever done while also being the worst show in terms of actual wrestling coverage.

We started by proclaiming this weeks Being The Elite to be their best ever show. Famous Dick Wrestler Joey Ryan finally had his memorial service. His own (hot) wife could not attend but his best buds were in there to see his sleazy soul move on to the great squared circle in the sky.

This week on Raw we had a Roman Reigns spin off show, it is dissected in great detail. Bayley and Sasha had a therapy session with Dr. Shelby while babyface Braun Strowman continues to assault heel Kevin Owens for no reason. Logic.

By the time we got to Smackdown the show was a complete mess. Somehow while discussing the US Open Challenge and New Days 3rd of July pancake eating contest (and missed food fight opportunity) we solve America's gun violence problem...still not sure how that happened.

WWE stock is at an all-time high...how did that happen? No deaths or releases this week, just some average shows! Raw was a bit of a stinker in terms of continuity but we had what we suspect is a Bayley heel turn? Where do we see this going?

Smackdown was a little better and we had the surprise return of Kane who helped Daniel Bryan see off a beatdown by the Bludgeon Brothers. What does a revamped Team Hell No do for Daniel Bryan?

We cover the rest of the stuff from WWE TV this week before ending with a Podcast recommendation for the week!

This weeks Alleged Wrestling Podcast covers all of the latest news in the world of Professional Wrestling.

Big Cass was released by WWE this week. Where did it all go wrong for Enzo and Cass??

Gordo and Nicky were at the WWE UK Championship Tournament tapings this week and have all the news from the shows - Spoiler warning!

We quickly run down the highlights of the NXT Takeover Chicago and Money In The Bank where Velveteen Dream and Ronda Rousey were the stars of weekend.

Unfortunately after all the fun stuff was out of the way we had to talk about Raw and Smackdown! When discussing WWE commentary (more specifically The Coach) Gordo goes on the rant of a lifetime. You don't want to miss it!

It's a packed show, enjoy!
