WRESTLEMANIA IS HERE!

This week we break down every match across both nights of WrestleMania 42 — bold predictions, wild theories, and a few moments we’d love (or absolutely hate) to see. Sanjay’s calling a surprise return in Gunther vs Seth Rollins, Iain has a horrible vision of how CM Punk vs Roman Reigns could go off the rails, and Daniel has some very strong words for Pat McAfee…

This week’s quiz pits Iain against Sanjay, inspired by some of the most surprising omissions from this year’s Mania card.

In this episode, we break down Pat McAfee’s current role in WWE and why his on‑screen presence feels heavily influenced by TKO leadership — particularly Ari Emanuel — rather than Triple H’s creative direction.

We also analyse CM Punk’s headline‑making Raw promo, where he took aim at Roman Reigns, Vince McMahon, Pat McAfee, and even WWE’s rising ticket prices in what many fans are calling a modern‑day pipebomb.

Plus: full coverage of the major stories from Raw and SmackDown, and a fun Randy Orton WrestleMania quiz to wrap things up.

Quick heads up: we had some major tech issues this week, which caused Sanjay to vanish mid‑recording — so this one’s shorter than usual. Thanks for sticking with us!

Last week we asked the big question: Where is Gunther?
Well… he’s back! We’re still not sure why Seth Rollins is in his sights, but he’s back.

This week we dive into a full “Brawl You Can Eat” buffet — which pull‑apart brawls hit, which missed, and why the brawl that didn’t happen might be the most exciting of all.

Two weeks until WrestleMania...let’s go!

This week, we ask the big question: WHERE IS GUNTHER?
The Ring General has been MIA for weeks, and with rumours swirling that his original WrestleMania program was shelved due to injury, time is running out for the Career Killer to land anything meaningful at the Grandest Stage of 'Em All. We assess the options — and bemoan WWE’s failure to prepare even a basic Plan B.

We’re still not sold on Randy Orton’s new heel direction, but Oba and Brock remain captivating one week after the powerbomb heard around the world.

Plus: Daniel and Sanjay battle it out in a Beast-sized quiz, while Iain is still reeling from last week’s controversial dethroning. He handles it with his usual grace and composure… sort of.
