Episode 46- Trish & Sarah start with a brief but important disclaimer about the episode, before moving on to a discussion of Summer Slam Night 1 and how WWE's programs are affected by their need for "moments" (2:30). They take a look at the main event and the drawbacks of having so many older wrestlers at the top of the card (20:15), before discussing the rest of the show (33:52) as well as WWE's on-screen embrace of the Trump Administration (42:15), WWE's tributes to Hulk Hogan (46:26), and the impact of recent AEW to WWE free agents (53:25). Your hosts then move on to AEW, and how last week's Men's World Title match was different from previous TV defenses (1:04:35) and whether the lack of strong secondary programs is impacting the shows (1:09:25). They then move on to Forbidden Door (1:16:16) and when and how matches are announced in AEW (1:27:40) before discussing the high level of scrutiny on a three-week World Champion (1:39:15). Finally, they look at AEW's residency runs (1:51:25) and assess what the costs and benefits of this strategy are.
