This week on WrestleChat, AntMan is flying solo and breaking down every major match coming your way at WWE Backlash, the first Premium Live Event since WrestleMania 41—and the card is absolutely stacked. From title clashes to personal grudges, it's all on the table. First up, Ant dives into the Fatal Four-Way for the United States Championship as Jacob Fatu defends against LA Knight, Drew McIntyre, and Damian Priest. Is LA Knight being robbed of a rightful rematch? And is this just the beginning of Fatu’s rise to the top?

Then, it gets personal. Gunther and Pat McAfee go one-on-one after the shocking post-WrestleMania assault on Michael Cole. This isn't just about revenge—this one’s about respect. Plus, Penta challenges Dirty Dom for the Intercontinental Title in a match that could explode with outside interference, especially with Rey Fenix now in the mix.

We’ve also got fireworks in the Women’s Intercontinental Title match between Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch. After their WrestleMania tag team win turned into betrayal the very next night, this quick-burn feud has some real heat. And finally, the main event: John Cena defends his record-breaking 17th world title against longtime rival Randy Orton in Orton’s hometown of St. Louis. Will Cena’s run end just three weeks after it began—or does this match have “shenanigans” written all over it?

This week on WrestleChat, AntMan and Michael Glavin dive into the fast-tracked build to WWE Backlash in St. Louis and break down all the major storylines coming out of WrestleMania. From the surprising new feud between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria to the return of Rusev (RUSEV DAY!), this episode covers all the latest chaos—and we’re here for it.

We’re talking:

• Why Cena vs. Orton doesn’t even need a story (but still has one)

• The Becky/Bayley betrayal that set up a new women’s title feud

• Seth Rollins’ confusing faction with Braun Breaker and Paul Heyman—are we feeling it yet?

• Rusev’s return and how the Redeemer character from AEW might actually shine in WWE

• Gunther vs. Pat McAfee: Is Pat crazy… or just crazy enough to win?

And yes… we go deep on Rock vs. Triple H—real heat or work 2.0? From cryptic social media posts to Triple H’s Hall of Fame speech snub, we connect the dots and speculate on who’s really pulling the strings behind the scenes. Vince? Ari? The Rock himself?

Plus: how you can win a full year of Netflix—just for following the show on the iHeartRadio app.

Hit follow, tap preset, and let’s ride the drama wave all the way to Backlash.

Still recovering from WrestleMania weekend? You’re not alone! On this week’s WrestleChat Podcast, AntMan and Michael Glavin shake off the post-Mania meat sweats and dive into everything that went down—both in the ring and on the grill. From ribeyes to ring bells, the guys relive their at-home WrestleMania experience and talk about how staying in actually delivered some of the best moments… and meals.

But don’t worry, it’s not all about the food. The guys break down the highs and lows of WrestleMania 41, including Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair exceeding expectations, Jacob Fatu’s rise, and what’s next for LA Knight. Plus, they react to Paul Heyman’s shocking allegiance shift, Joe Hendry’s surprise appearance, and why night two completely outclassed night one.

And you know they had to talk about it — was the John Cena and Travis Scott angle the biggest miss of the weekend? Did The Rock’s involvement derail the storyline? AntMan and Michael don’t hold back as they debate what went wrong, what could’ve been, and how WWE can clean up the aftermath.

Also in this episode:

• The return of Rusev and Aleister Black—where do they fit in?

• A new faction forming under Paul Heyman—are we seeing the rise of WWE’s Dangerous Alliance 2.0?

• Why Logan Paul continues to innovate in AND out of the ring

• What’s next for Cody Rhodes after WrestleMania?

It’s a packed, unfiltered recap of a wild WrestleMania weekend and a look ahead at what’s coming next in WWE.
