Pro wrestling isn’t just having a moment—it’s having a movement.

In this episode, I break down why the wrestling world in 2025 feels massive. From WWE streaming on Netflix to AEW's residency model and TNA teaming up with WWE—this isn’t the wrestling we grew up with… and that might be a good thing.

We’ll get into:

• How streaming is changing the game for fans

• Why TNA might finally be finding its lane

• AEW’s small venues making a big impact

• Why fans trust podcasts more than corporate media

• And how indie wrestling is more important than ever

This isn’t nostalgia—it’s evolution. Let’s talk about the wrestling multiverse we’re living in and why now might be the best time ever to be a fan.

Bill Goldberg finally delivered one of the best performances of his career against Gunther on Saturday Night’s Main Event—primetime NBC, a hot crowd, and a legit farewell stage. But instead of riding off into the sunset, Goldberg lit the whole moment up with a bitter post-match interview.

In this episode, we’re breaking down everything:

• Why comparing himself to John Cena and The Undertaker might be his worst take ever

• How Gunther carried both the match and the moment

• What Triple H might’ve been thinking watching all this unfold

Goldberg says he was cut off 28 seconds into his goodbye speech. But is that disrespect… or just how TV works?

Tap in as we unpack the match, the meltdown, and the myth of Goldberg’s legacy.

AEW’s Big Reset wasn’t just a vibe—it was loud, emotional, and unavoidable.
The July 16 episode of AEW Dynamite on TBS felt like the company hit a live reset button. Hangman Page opened the night with surprising gratitude, the Young Bucks got humbled in front of the Chicago crowd, and Adam Copeland made things very personal with FTR.

But that was just the start.

We break down why MJF’s mind games are only getting more dangerous, how Toni Storm vs. Athena might be AEW’s best women’s story yet, and why Mark Briscoe’s fiery promo could be the most heartfelt moment AEW has delivered all year.

Plus: updates on Julia Hart’s dark alliance, Copeland’s Chicago Residency, and the rising tension that could shape AEW’s future heading into All In.

If you’re looking for clarity in the chaos, or chaos in the clarity—we’ve got you covered.

Was WWE Evolution 2025 just a nostalgia act—or a full-on reset for women’s wrestling?

In this special episode of The Tristen Law Show, I break down the entire WWE Evolution card—from Becky Lynch’s slick opener to Naomi’s buzzer-beater cash-in. We’re talking Trish Stratus’ return, Jade vs. Naomi with Bianca Belair as the wildcard ref, and a shocking chair shot in NXT that changed everything.

Is WWE finally treating the women’s division like the main event—or was this all smoke and mirrors? You’ll get my sharpest takes, bold predictions, and a full match-by-match analysis with no punches pulled.

👉 Featuring:

• Why Becky Lynch’s pin was a masterclass

• What Tiffany Stratton needs to stay hot

• Is Bianca turning heel?

• Why Stephanie Vaquer might be the next big thing

• And… did WWE Evolution 2025 steal the whole weekend?

WWE Evolution is back after nearly seven years—but there's a catch.In this bold, unfiltered breakdown, we pull back the curtain on WWE Evolution’s return and ask the question no one else will: is this a real step forward for women’s wrestling, or just another polished PR stunt from WWE?You’ll uncover the cultural and corporate timing behind WWE Evolution 2025—why WWE brought it back now, and what that says about how they view the women’s division. From the underwhelming booking of top stars like Rhea Ripley to the forgotten tag titles and rushed storylines, this episode challenges the idea that visibility equals value.We also dig deep into the branding of WWE Evolution itself. Why does WWE still treat equality like a special event? And is calling it “Evolution” proof that women’s wrestling is still seen as a novelty, not a norm?If you care about storytelling, real investment, and the future of women in WWE, this episode is for you. Because until WWE stops catching up to the world and starts leading, WWE Evolution won’t be a revolution—it’ll be a mirror.#wwe #wweevolution #prowrestling ---🛍️ Wear the Show — Official Tristen Law Show MerchIf you love the show, why not wear it?

Ron Killings was never really fired. WWE just made you believe he was.In this episode of The Tristen Law Show, we peel back the layers of one of WWE’s boldest and most brilliant moves in recent memory: the “release” and sudden return of R-Truth—only this time, he’s not cracking jokes or rapping to the ring. He’s walking in silence, cutting aggressive promos, and answering to the name that’s been waiting to be taken seriously for decades: Ron Killings.This wasn’t just a comeback. It was a full-blown character rebrand hidden inside a worked shoot—a wrestling magic trick where fans, journalists, and even other wrestlers got played. WWE never changed his theme music. Never gave him new gear. But somehow, Ron Killings returned looking like a man with nothing to lose—and everything to prove.From the Cena parody shirt at Saturday Night’s Main Event, to a shocking “release” that WWE never publicly confirmed, to a cold-blooded heel turn that feels too real to be scripted—this story might be the most compelling use of long-term storytelling WWE has pulled off in years.And now? He’s not dancing. He’s not smiling. He’s not “R-Truth” anymore.He’s Ron Killings—and you can see him now.#ronkillings #tripleh #johncena ---00:00 Countdown00:00 Intro – Why R-Truth’s WWE Release Wasn’t What It Seemed 01:03 The “Release” Was the Reveal – WWE Worked Us All 02:02 R-Truth Himself Broke the News… But Did He Really? 03:40 WWE Would’ve NEVER Fired Ron Killings – Here’s Why 05:51 Nobody Saw This Rebrand Coming 06:06 The Ron Cena T-Shirt Was the First Clue 07:20 The Proof That Ron Killings Wasn’t Actually Fired 09:10 WWE Typecasted R-Truth for Years 10:40 John Cena vs. R-Truth Set the Stage for Something Bigger 11:52 John Cena Leaves Wrestling in a Good Place 12:49 Cena’s Time is Up—Ron Killings’ Time is Now 13:07 Ron Killings Has Been Here the Whole Time 14:06 From R-Truth to Ron Killings – A Shift in Character 14:40 Ron Killings is Now a Full-On Heel 16:57 The Silent Rebrand: How WWE Transitioned Truth to Killings 18:07 Triple H Told Us This Wasn’t Real All Along 19:43 What Makes Wrestling So Powerful When It’s Done Right 21:01 Roman Reigns Was Once a Joke Too 21:32 Ron Killings Is on the Roman Reigns Path 24:37 Final Thoughts – The Brilliance Behind the Work 26:40 Outro – Subscribe for More Deep Wrestling Stories ---🛍️ Wear the Show — Official Tristen Law Show MerchIf you love the show, why not wear it?
