Was Monday's edition of Raw really the worst all year? Fellow wrestling ranter Jonn Ritland returns to WrestleRant Radio to aid Graham "GSM" Matthews in his verbal tirade on the current WWE product! But first, they're talking some of the best and worst films of 2018 and what they've been watching on the silver screen lately.
GSM and Jonn then spend the next hour giving their candid thoughts about everything under the sun including how WWE has ruined Bobby Lashley, why Drew McIntyre needs to be Universal Champion sooner rather than later, the sad state of tag team wrestling on both brands, the similarities between modern day Raw and the fall of 2013, what can be done to revive Raw, how nothing has changed with the women following October's Evolution pay-per-view, Asuka's win in the Battle Royal on SmackDown Live, which women could be used better, the Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio rivalry, Shinsuke Nakamura possibly returning to Japan when his contract expires, if Randy Orton is entering the twilight of his career, WWE's new television deals, experiences at independent wrestling shows, and much more!

From there, GSM and RJ shift their focus to Survivor Series and talk Raw and SmackDown Live battling for brand supremacy, how tag team wrestling has reached a new low in 2018 in WWE, Mustafa Ali vying for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, AOP colliding with The Bar, what role Dean Ambrose will play (if any) in Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, who will survive in the men's and women's 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series elimination matches, Ronda Rousey taking on Charlotte Flair earlier than expected and what that means for a potential Rousey vs. Becky Lynch WrestleMania main event, and Brock Lesnar vs. Daniel Bryan happening for the first time ever.

Did you tune into WWE's Crown Jewel pay-per-view last Friday? If so, you were likely every bit as furious as Graham "GSM" Matthews and Alexis DiGiacomo were while watching it and are left with more questions for the company than answers. Thus, the duo spend this week's WrestleRant Radio breaking down (and let's face it, ranting about) the event and everything it had to offer including the Kickoff show, how the early goings of the WWE World Cup were underwhelming, if a New Day breakup is imminent, who Rey Mysterio's first feud back should be with, Samoa Joe once again failing to become WWE Champion and who AJ Styles could ultimately drop the title to.
But that's not all! GSM and Alexis are also going off on Brock Lesnar regaining the Universal Championship and the problems it creates, who can feasibly beat The Beast Incarnate, Ronda Rousey's booking, Shane McMahon being declared "the best in the world," CM Punk chants on SmackDown Live, the biggest takeaways from the tag team main event at Crown Jewel, what all of this means for Survivor Series and why Rousey vs. Becky Lynch should headline the event, and much more!

In addition to giving his picks and predictions for Friday's Crown Jewel pay-per-view, GSM is also talking John Cena and Daniel Bryan pulling out of the event, why Samoa Joe should win the WWE Championship, an early Survivor Series preview, The Lucha House Party arriving in Raw's tag team division, the poor build for Crown Jewel, a terrific WWE Championship match on SmackDown Live, the United States Championship being a total afterthought at the moment, and much more!
