2 hours 41 minutes

Join Chad and Acefield Retro for the ultimate wrestling recap show, WRESTLING TONIGHT! This week, we dive deep into the electrifying action from TNA FINAL RESOLUTION 2024, where we witnessed Joe Hendry earn yet another coveted title shot, the highly controversial return of Tessa Blanchard, and a shocking physical altercation involving Eddie Edwards and a fan. We explore the drama surrounding Blanchard's return and what it means for TNA's future as they embark on a new chapter in 2025.

We also cover the much-anticipated WWE return to Saturday Night’s Main Event on NBC, where the chaos unfolded in the Undisputed WWE Championship match, as Cody Rhodes successfully defended his title against Kevin Owens in a wild and unpredictable contest. The finish was as dramatic as they come, but the real story broke backstage, where Owens' post-match assault on Rhodes has left us questioning what’s next for both men. We also delve into Rhodes’ historical entrance, paying homage to WWE’s rich legacy with his nod to the classic Winged Eagle Championship belt.

Then, we shift our focus to the world of AEW and GCW, where Chris Jericho stunned the independent wrestling scene with a jaw-dropping appearance at GCW Highest in the Room 3, attacking both Matt Cardona and Effy in a turn that could alter the delicate relationship between AEW and GCW. We also discuss the latest from Rey Fenix, who continues to voice his growing frustrations with AEW management and the uncertain future surrounding his contract. Plus, Toni Storm returns to AEW, leaving behind her "Timeless" persona in a stunning revelation that marks a new chapter for her career.

Finally, we preview ROH Final Battle, as the AEW Continental Classic draws closer to its thrilling conclusion. We also provide critical updates on major injuries, including Bronson Reed’s broken foot and Bryan Danielson’s uncertain future, leaving fans on the edge of their seats about whether we will ever see him in the ring again.
