The Smark-Casual Wrestling Podcast

This week Daniel and Iain discuss Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton 🐍🏆, a feud that has been dragging to varying degrees through the whole of 2026. Whilst it's good we're not still suffering through the Pat McAfee worked-shoot rubbish from WrestleMania 🎤🙄, we're still ready for this feud to be over and done with. And if nothing else, it needs more personal venom 😡, especially considering the 20+ year history the two rivals share.

Elsewhere, we're loving Sami Zayn & Roman Reigns' interaction on Raw ☝️🩸 and Roman has FINALLY gotten involved with The Bloodline and The 946 🔥. More wrestling-adjacent feuds and brawls 👊 and less gangland B-movie vibes 🎬 see this feud looking better than it was and, let's face it, that's a low bar to clear! 😅

In the women's division 👑 we're loving Liv Morgan and Chelsea Green's story as they head towards Crown Jewel 💎, especially after a dream team of Chelsea and Iyo defeated The Judgment Day on Raw 💚⚡. The same can't be said though for two other women's storylines as Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch vs Stephanie Vaquer are both failing to live up to expectations 📉. Iain wants Bayley to move to SmackDown 🔵 and Daniel wants new merch for Vaquer!! 🛒😂

In our Main Event 🎙️🏅, the boys battle it out in another round of Guess Who ❓ as they compete for the newly named Midcard Quiz Championship 🏆🤓!

Money in the Bank Review! | The Smark‑Casual Wrestling Podcast

After a busy week in real life, it has taken us almost as long to drop this episode as it took Je'Von Evans to set up the biggest ladder in the world on Saturday! But here - eventually - is our take on Money in the Bank 2026 and believe me, we have some thoughts on THAT ambulance stunt in the main event...

In other news we have 2 new briefcase holders, a new Women's World Champion and whole load of crazy (and terrifying!) bumps to talk about!

As Sanjay is off for the next few weeks the Mid-Card Quiz Championship is back on the line as Daniel and Iain face off in an attitude-era coded game of Guess Who!

This week’s episode begins on a sombre note. The wrestling world was shaken by the sudden passing of Benjamin Satterly — PAC, formerly Neville — at just 40 years old. We take a moment to reflect on his legacy, his impact across WWE and AEW, and the matches that defined his blistering, uncompromising style. No speculation, no rumours — just respect for a performer who gave everything every time he stepped through the ropes.

From there, we shift into lighter territory as Money in the Bank continues to take shape. The Women’s World Heavyweight Championship picture gets even more intriguing with Stephanie Vaquer set to face Liv Morgan or Becky Lynch… or maybe both. Meanwhile, Oba Femi looks ready to bulldoze his way through the Vision’s entire stable, starting with Bronson Reed.

The ladder matches are almost locked in, with only two qualifiers left — and we explore the outside‑chance chaos of Johnny Gargano or Candice LeRae sneaking in despite the looming meddling of Sami Zayn. Plus, we dive into the wonderfully ridiculous gang‑war energy on Raw, because sometimes wrestling is at its best when it’s being completely unserious.

To close, Sanjay serves up a Liv Morgan‑themed quiz question as Daniel and new quiz champion Iain go head‑to‑head once again.

⚔️ Time for WarGames: Armageddon?🎙️

Sami Zayn’s WWE Championship reign has officially outlasted his infamous 9‑day run… and we’re celebrating every second of it! 🎉🏆 This week, we break down his latest defence against Kevin Owens 🤼‍♂️ — including the three‑count that never was 😱 — before diving into just how STACKED the SmackDown main event scene looks right now. With at least six legit contenders circling 🔥, is it time to throw them all into a double‑ring, double‑cage WarGames match at Survivor Series? 🛎️ Two rings. One cage. Armageddon 2000 vibes. We’re ready. 💥

Elsewhere on the card, we talk another standout night for Penta on Raw 🔥, the newest Money in the Bank qualifiers 💼⬆️, LA Knight trying his absolute best to carry a feud solo (YEAH!) 🎤, and everything else that jumped out from a busy week in WWE. 📺

In the main event, Iain steps up to challenge quiz champion Sanjay 🧠👑 as Daniel tests their knowledge on the history of the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match… 💼👩‍🚀

WWE’s trip south of the border delivered one of the hottest weekends of the year 🔥, and we’re breaking down every major headline coming out of Mexico City 🇲🇽.

We have a NEW WWE Champion in Sami Zayn 🏆, we didn’t see it coming (well… maybe Daniel did 👀). We dig into what this shock win means for the WWE Championship picture and why a mouth‑watering showdown between 2‑time Champion Zayn and a certain Tribal Chief at Crown Jewel already feels inevitable ⚔️.

Then we dive into the match that shook Mexico: Roman Reigns vs Penta 🤘, a Cero Miedo masterclass that pushed the crowd through agony and ecstasy 😱✨ and delivered a genuine Match of the Year contender. On the same show, Chad Gable and Dragon Lee tore the house down with their own MOTY‑level banger 💥🐉.

And while the weekend belonged to Mexico, we also celebrate Stephanie Vaquer 🌟, who captured the Women’s World Championship in a house show in her home country of Chile — adding even more shine to an already electric week across Latin America ⚡.

To close the show, Sanjay puts his quiz title on the line 🏅 against Daniel, as Iain challenges them to remember some of the shortest title reigns in wrestling history — including a few that lasted only minutes ⏱️.

Johnny Gargano is BACK. He’s awake, he’s wrestling, and he’s still absolutely magic between the ropes. After over six months in a catatonic state, Johnny Wrestling returned on Friday in a stellar WWE Championship match with CM Punk — and we’re celebrating every second of it. What’s next now that he’s (hopefully permanently) awake? We dig into the possibilities.

Then we break down SUNday Night’s Main Event, featuring:

• 🥇 A brand new United States Champion
• 💪 The return of Big Bronson Reed, looking and sounding better than ever
• ⚡ A DQ finish in Oba Femi vs Bron Breakker
• 👀 A chaotic 6‑woman tag where Tatum Paxley accidentally cost her team

Plus, we look ahead to two massive shows in Mexico City. Which titles could realistically change hands? Will Penta get a clean shot at Roman Reigns? Will the Bloodline interfere? Or will Royce Keys & The 946 leave everyone laying?
“No‑one is safe,” Keys warned… and we believe him.

To close the show: Quiz Time!
Sanjay defends his championship, Iain steps up as challenger, and Daniel has a VISION for a devilishly tricky question.

🔥 Royce Keys: Blurred On His Hands │ The Smark‑Casual Wrestling Podcast 🎙️
This week we dive straight into the cold open of Monday Night Raw 🔥, where Royce Keys and his new stable left the Usos laid out backstage… or at least the parts Netflix let us see 👀. With faces blurred to a ridiculous degree, we break down this new wave of censorship 🚫 and how it undercut an otherwise strong opening.

We also get into the optics of Jacob Fatu cutting an impromptu promo 🎤 while a women’s match waited in the ring — a choice that definitely raised eyebrows 🤨.

Then it’s time to preview SUNDAY Night’s Main Event 🥊 — four matches, three we’re genuinely excited for 😁, and one we’re absolutely not 😬. You already know which one.

In the quiz, Daniel defends his crown 👑 against Sanjay, with Iain throwing out a question on the history of SNME 📺.
