Joining Graham "GSM" Matthews for the very first time on WrestleRant Radio is fellow WWE Featured Columnist for Bleacher Report, James Moffat! They discuss his experience at Starrcade over the weekend and why WWE should do more non-televised events like that as well as his experience meeting Charlotte Flair. From there, nothing is off limits as they compare house shows to televised events and discuss what was wrong with this week's Raw, WWE already teasing a Shield split, the stable of Paige, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville getting a new name, why Ruby Riott (note the name change!) has boatloads of potential, and when Carmella will cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase.
Furthermore, GSM and James give their thoughts on Matt Hardy teasing the return of his "Broken" persona and whether it will work, why all hope might be lost for Bray Wyatt, Finn Balor being positioned as a loser and the latest update on him facing Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble, why Jinder Mahal could be better than most give him credit for, Mojo Rawley turning on Zack Ryder and what the future holds for him, when Jason Jordan will turn heel, and much more!

The duo discuss the debuts of Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville and why SmackDown running a similar angle the next night with Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan didn't work as well, what will happen next between Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan, the re-debut of The Bludgeon Brothers, Roman Reigns winning the Intercontinental Championship, who will face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble and if Big Cass was at one point set to challenge for the title before he got injured, Hideo Itami joining 205 Live, and much more!

Chris Jericho is facing Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 12! Sheamus and Cesaro are the new Raw Tag Team Champions! AJ Styles is headed to Survivor Series to take on Brock Lesnar after capturing his second WWE Championship on SmackDown Live!
