Cody Rhodes finally SNAPPED — and Randy Orton may have gotten exactly what he wanted.

On Episode 60 of Wrestle WreMarks, Chris and Pat break down another loaded week in professional wrestling, including WWE reportedly exploring a darker side of Cody Rhodes after his brutal war with Randy Orton at Sunday Night’s Main Event.

We also hit the NEWS WIRE with WWE releasing 10 NXT and developmental talents, Baron Corbin revealing this could be his final WWE run, AJ Lee discussing what brought her back to wrestling, John Cena reflecting on his controversial heel turn, and much more.

Then it’s time for the weekly recaps:

🔥 SMACKDOWN
Sami Zayn declares “No Justice, No Peace” and continues making enemies everywhere he goes. Johnny Gargano gets a hometown WWE Championship opportunity against CM Punk, while Punk finally gives Sami exactly what he’s been demanding — a title match in Mexico City.

🔥 SUNDAY NIGHT’S MAIN EVENT
Lil Yachty survives Baron Corbin, opening the door for Trick Williams to regain the United States Championship. Oba Femi and Bron Breakker collide in a battle of freak athletes before the returning Bronson Reed completely changes The Vision. Then Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton tear each other apart in an absolutely vicious main event.

🔥 MONDAY NIGHT RAW
The Vision tries to finish the job on Oba Femi, Bron Breakker punches his ticket to Money in the Bank, Sol Ruca qualifies for the women’s ladder match, Liv Morgan survives Stephanie Vaquer, and 946 sends a violent message to The Bloodline.

Birthright puts Zilla Fatu through the announce table, Jackson Drake defends against Tavion Heights, and Tony D’Angelo, Mason Rook and Saquon Shugars earn their way into a Triple Threat to determine Grayson Waller’s next challenger.

Is WWE finally setting the stage for a darker Cody Rhodes?
Did Randy Orton expose something Cody has been trying to hide?
And with Bronson Reed back, is The Vision now the most dangerous faction in WWE?

Grayson Waller walked into NXT Heatwave and somehow walked out as NXT Champion — but with Tony D’Angelo, Zilla Fatu, Cruz Montana and basically the entire NXT locker room coming after him, how long can the Waller Era actually last?

This week on Wrestle WreMarks, Chris and Pat break down a STACKED week in professional wrestling.

Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed shocked the wrestling world by debuting in AEW as The New Level, immediately capturing championship gold alongside Swerve Strickland — and reports suggest people inside WWE may already believe TKO made a mistake letting them walk.

We also break down all the chaos from NXT Heatwave, where FIVE championships changed hands, including Kelani Jordan becoming NXT Women’s Champion, Vanity Project leaving covered in gold, Zaria unifying the Women’s North American and Speed Championships, and Grayson Waller stealing the NXT Championship.

PLUS:

🔥 Kevin Owens, CM Punk, GUNTHER, Finn Balor & Sami Zayn send the WWE Championship picture into complete chaos
🔥 Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton get EXTREMELY personal ahead of Sunday Night’s Main Event
🔥 Royce Keys & OTM launch a brutal attack on The Usos
🔥 Roman Reigns and LA Knight collide while somebody takes out Solo Sikoa
🔥 PENTA battles his own brother Rey Fenix for a shot at Roman Reigns
🔥 Zilla Fatu rebounds from Heatwave and makes it clear he’s still coming for the NXT Championship
🔥 Kelani Jordan and Jaida Parker set up a Women’s Title showdown
🔥 The entire NXT roster lines up to challenge Grayson Waller
🔥 Carmella officially confirms her retirement
🔥 Britt Baker returns to AEW
🔥 Mercedes Moné wins the AEW Women’s Championship with a broken nose
🔥 Bron Breakker vs. Oba Femi is being billed as a battle for the FUTURE of WWE

And before we get out of here, we run down the complete WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event card from Atlanta and give our predictions for:

Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton
Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker
Baron Corbin vs. Lil Yachty
Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss & Tatum Paxley vs. Jade Cargill, B-Fab & Michin

Plus Quavo kicks off the show with a special live performance.

Who leaves Atlanta standing?
Is Grayson Waller already a marked man?
And did WWE make a HUGE mistake letting Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed get away?

Let’s talk about it.

Sami Zayn has officially reached his breaking point.

This week on Wrestle WreMarks, Chris and Pat break down a chaotic week in WWE as Sami Zayn completely snaps during CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens, turning on his longtime friend and leaving BOTH men laid out while making his intentions toward the WWE Championship crystal clear.

Plus, one of WWE's most intense performers is officially moving on as Ilja Dragunov's contract expires. Where could The Mad Dragon go next — AEW, NJPW, TNA or somewhere nobody expects?

We also get into:

Has Sami Zayn gone too far — and where should Ilja Dragunov wrestle next?

Twenty years of history between CM Punk and Kevin Owens finally explodes on SmackDown, Roman Reigns’ attempt to bring Solo Sikoa back into the Bloodline goes horribly wrong, and Zilla Fatu officially arrives in NXT — with an NXT Championship opportunity already waiting for him.

Chris and Pat also break down reports that WWE may be relying heavily on a “Moneyball”-style analytics system when deciding who gets television time and what that could mean for Ilja Dragunov, plus updates on Asuka, Malakai Black, Ric Flair and Jeff Cobb.

Then it’s time for the weekly recaps:

On SmackDown, Chelsea Green fights to keep her championship despite a broken orbital bone, GUNTHER goes after Matt Cardona, MFTs and Jacy Jayne capture gold, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton tear into each other, and Punk and Owens make their WWE Championship match deeply personal.

News Wire. SmackDown. Raw. NXT.

🚨 ZILLA FATU IS OFFICIALLY IN WWE — and he made one hell of a first impression.

Umaga’s son crashed the NXT main event, destroyed Grayson Waller and Cruz Montana, and immediately put NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo on notice. But with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline already dominating Monday Night Raw… how long before Zilla’s family comes calling?

And that’s only the beginning of a LOADED week in wrestling.

💥 Solo Sikoa is being delivered back to Roman Reigns after Jey Uso defeated his younger brother on Raw.

👑 Bron Breakker is becoming obsessed with Oba Femi after Brock Lesnar called Oba the future of WWE — and Paul Heyman may have made Bron’s paranoia even worse.

Step back into 1990 with the Wrestle WreMarks as Chris and Pat watch WWF’s The Main Event IV for the very first time!

The Ultimate Warrior puts the WWF Championship on the line against the “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, but you already know DiBiase never shows up without a plan—or without Virgil standing nearby! The card also features Mr. Perfect battling the Big Boss Man, Rick “The Model” Martel renewing his rivalry with Tito Santana, and Sgt. Slaughter taking on Nikolai Volkoff.

But what makes this show even more fascinating is the match viewers never got to see.

During the taping, The Rockers defeated The Hart Foundation in a two-out-of-three falls match to win the WWF Tag Team Championships. However, the title change was never officially recognized. Two of the ring ropes broke early in the match, creating a strange-looking contest—especially for a tag team match where the ropes play such an important role.

The damaged turnbuckle became the storyline explanation for returning the championships to the Hart Foundation, but the real reason was that Vince McMahon reportedly decided the match was too visually awkward to air. The Rockers’ victory was erased from WWF history, the Harts remained the recognized champions, and Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty would eventually split without ever officially holding the titles together.

We’re watching the broadcast with fresh eyes, genuine reactions, plenty of laughs, and the kind of commentary you can only get from the Wrestle WreMarks. How well does this classic television special hold up more than 35 years later? Was the Ultimate Warrior truly the man to carry the WWF into the new decade? And did the company make the right decision by burying The Rockers’ historic title victory?

Grab your snacks, load up The Main Event IV, and watch along with us!

Let us know in the comments what you remember most about this era—and whether The Rockers should be recognized as former WWF Tag Team Champions.
