The Road to WrestleMania 2026 just got a lot weirder. On this episode of The Go Home Show, Danny Mabley and John Arpino break down a chaotic Monday Night Raw that saw the official debut of one of wrestling’s most polarizing figures.

We kick things off with a massive segment featuring Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, and a fired-up Seth Rollins. John breaks down why the "The Vision" storyline might be getting overbooked and why he’s ready to see the black ski masks retired for good.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Gunther vs. Dragon Lee: Was this the Match of the Night, or did the commercial timing and Gunther’s "no-selling" kill the momentum?

• The Women’s IC Title: AJ Lee’s first promo as champion and why her "punk-rock" cadence isn't hitting the same way it used to.

• The Curse of Danhausen: Danhausen makes his Raw debut in the most perfect way possible—backstage, demanding a Hall of Fame spot, and putting a hex on "Dirty" Dom Mysterio.

• Penta El Zero Miedo’s Big Moment: Celebrating a historic Intercontinental Title win and what it means for the WWE/AAA partnership.

• The War of Words: Roman Reigns and CM Punk go personal. We discuss the Sika Anoa'i reference and why Punk seemed to be "working toward spots" rather than his usual raw self.

Finally, we head to the "Go Home Spot" with our massive predictions for Friday Night SmackDown. Is Drew McIntyre’s title reign coming to an end in Seattle, or is there too much "hodgepodge" in the way for Cody Rhodes to finish the story?

The Road to WrestleMania 2026 just hit a massive pothole. From a "Walmart" Elimination Chamber structure to the most polarizing debut in years (was that really Danhausen?!), Danny Mabley and New York wrestling booker John Arpino pull back the curtain on why WWE’s creative engine might be stalling at the worst possible time.

In our debut episode of The Go Home Show, we’re grading every match from Elimination Chamber 2026. We dive deep into the wardrobe malfunction overshadowing the Women’s Chamber, why CM Punk is "dragging ass" in the ring, and the shocking post-show announcement that changes everything for Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes this Friday on SmackDown.
