Acefield Retro & Chad are your hosts for Episode 115 of Wrestling Tonight, breaking down an eventful week in pro wrestling that reshaped the landscape across AEW, WWE, and beyond. AEW Revolution delivered a night filled with high-stakes matches, career-defining performances, and major title implications. Jon Moxley retained his AEW World Championship in a hard-fought battle, but the night truly belonged to Toni Storm and Mariah May. Their Falls Count Anywhere match, billed as The Hollywood Ending, lived up to its name—an emotional, brutal, and visually stunning war that left the AEW Women’s Division forever changed.

Kenny Omega, in only his fourth match back from injury, reclaimed gold in a must-see battle with Konosuke Takeshita, while Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher turned their deeply personal rivalry into an all-time great steel cage match. Swerve Strickland cemented himself as the next World Title challenger after a grueling victory over Ricochet, setting the stage for what could be AEW’s next marquee feud. The fallout from Revolution will no doubt define the company’s direction in the months ahead.

Meanwhile, WWE saw multiple title changes and a dramatic escalation on the road to WrestleMania 41. IYO SKY ended Rhea Ripley’s dominant reign to capture the WWE Women’s World Championship in a result that stunned fans. LA Knight recaptured the United States Title in a hard-hitting rematch against Shinsuke Nakamura, while Shawn Spears shocked NXT by seizing the North American Championship from Tony D’Angelo, taking advantage of a lingering injury.

But the most talked-about moment came at Elimination Chamber, where John Cena’s long-teased heel turn became reality. After aligning with The Rock, Cena left Cody Rhodes battered and bloodied in a post-match attack—but it was rapper Travis Scott who delivered the most unexpected blow. A stiff slap to Rhodes ruptured his eardrum, raising questions about whether Cody will be at full strength heading into his WrestleMania 41 title defense.

Over on SmackDown, another long-running mystery was finally solved. Jade Cargill made her return and confronted Naomi, revealing her as the one who had attacked her months ago. With the truth finally out, Jade wasted no time in seeking revenge, setting the stage for an intensely personal showdown in the near future.

Elsewhere, the WrestleMania 41 build continues to take shape. CM Punk and Seth Rollins are set to collide in a steel cage match, The Rock’s presence looms large over the title picture, and AJ Styles is ready to call out Logan Paul in what promises to be a heated confrontation at Madison Square Garden.

Beyond WWE and AEW, the wrestling world remains in motion. TNA is making moves with the return of Chavo Guerrero Jr., the exit of Alex Hammerstone, and Eddie & Alisha Edwards committing to long-term deals. Cora Jade is set to challenge Masha Slamovich for the Knockouts Title at Sacrifice, while NJPW’s championship landscape continues to evolve with Yuji Nagata stepping into a rare IWGP World Heavyweight Title match. Meanwhile, Zack Sabre Jr. is gearing up for a loaded WrestleMania weekend schedule, making multiple high-profile GCW appearances.

And as for Travis Scott—was Elimination Chamber a one-off cameo, or is WWE positioning him for something bigger? His unexpected role in Cody Rhodes’ brutal beatdown has sparked speculation that his involvement in WWE may not be over just yet.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight! This episode dives into some major developments in the wrestling world, including John Cena's shocking heel turn and his unexpected alignment with The Rock.

First up, we explore John Cena’s heel turn in Toronto. After years of being WWE’s golden boy and fan favorite, Cena's shift to a more antagonistic role has caught many by surprise. But that’s not all—Cena has also formed an unlikely alliance with The Rock. What does this mean for both men's legacies and the future of WWE storylines? We break down the significance of this powerful pairing and what it could signal for Cena's role going forward.

Next, we discuss the highlights of Elimination Chamber, where Cena took part in the main event against CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Damian Priest, and Logan Paul. While the match had its slow moments, Cena’s history with Punk added a layer of drama and intensity. We also touch on the Women's Elimination Chamber, where Bianca Belair triumphed over Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Liv Morgan, Naomi, and Roxanne Perez.

Looking ahead to AEW Revolution on March 9th, we preview some of the key matchups that are sure to shake up the AEW landscape. Jon Moxley defends his AEW World Championship against Cope, while MJF faces Hangman Adam Page in a high-stakes battle. We’ll also cover the AEW International Championship match between Konosuke Takeshita and Kenny Omega, Toni Storm vs. Mariah May for the Women’s Championship, and a Steel Cage match between Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher.

In other news, we take a look at TKO's strong 2024 financial results, highlighting positive growth for WWE and UFC. With Stephanie McMahon launching a new podcast and WWE making bold moves for the future, we’ll break down how these shifts could influence the company.

Finally, we touch on some backstage drama as Ryan Nemeth files a lawsuit against AEW, Tony Khan, and CM Punk. We’ll examine the details of this case and discuss its potential fallout for AEW, plus rumors about Malakai Black returning to WWE.
