WrestleRant Radio

Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau return their their usual live Thursday slot for WrestleRant Radio and have no shortage of topics to discuss including football being back, quick thoughts on SummerSlam, what happens with the Interim WWE Women's Champion in light of Chelsea Green's injury, Oba Femi feuding with Bron Breakker, why there's no justification behind the burial of Dominik Mysterio, LeBron James joining the 76ers, Zilla Fatu debuting on NXT, why Solo Sikoa being back in The Bloodline would be the wrong call, the incident with AJ Styles' son Avery, if Roman Reigns is actually overrated, and more!

An under-the-weather Graham "GSM" Matthews struggles through a special Saturday episode of WrestleRant Radio, but before he gives his thoughts on his experience attending SummerSlam weekend in Minneapolis, he airs his exclusive interview with SmackDown star The Miz! They talk online criticism, this month marking 10 years since his famous Talking Smack promo, wanting to see CM Punk with an edge again, Cody Rhodes' praise for him, and more!

In his on-site report from SummerSlam, GSM discusses Liv Morgan retaining the Women's World Championship and how the returns of Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer make Raw's women's division more interesting, LA Knight being next up for Roman Reigns, Nick Aldis making his WWE in-ring debut against Gunther, The Bella Twins' heel turn, the epic returns of Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, Brock Lesnar retiring following his Hell in a Cell clash with Oba Femi, Baron Corbin and Chad Gable winning gold, Chelsea Green's massive Interim WWE Women's Championship victory and one concern with her booking going forward, Reigns vs. Seth Rollins being the best bout of the weekend, a huge number one contender's tournament being announced for the World Heavyweight Championship, and quick thoughts on this week's above-average editions of Raw and AEW Dynamite.

In their quick recap of AEW Redemption at the start of this week's WrestleRant Radio, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau talk MJF not making an appearance and where he fits into the All In card. They also discuss the debut of WWE Radio, why it's not a great thing, and Joe Henry and Danhausen being involved the worst wrestling television segment of the year on Monday's Raw before getting into their FULL PREDICTIONS for every advertised match on the SummerSlam card, including Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship and if we can expect a heel turn in the Undisputed WWE Championship match!

After kicking off WrestleRant Radio with some thoughts on Spain winning the World Cup and some other sports shenanigans, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau share their instant reaction to Season 3 of WWE Unreal on Netflix and the top takeaways from what's been making the rounds on social media this week, specifically comments made about Bron Breakker nearly winning the 2026 men's Royal Rumble. They discuss how WWE's current booking philosophy also applies to Oba Femi and Jacob Fatu and how they don't seem to making as many new stars at the same rate that they do with the women.

The duo are also talking Rhea Ripley's injury, an Interim WWE Women's Championship and a five-way Ladder match to crown a champ at SummerSlam are unnecessary, other additions to the SummerSlam card including Danhausen vs. Dominik Mysterio, thoughts on Saturday Night's Main Event and all of the Knicks integration, Bayley losing to Lyra Valkyria and if the Four Horsewoman is on the verge of leaving WWE for AEW, reports of Tom Brady possibly working with WWE and having a match with Logan Paul, and FULL PREDICTIONS for AEW Redemption this Sunday featuring Kenny Omega vs. Kevin Knight for the AEW World Championship!

On this week's WrestleRant Radio, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau share their reaction to Conor McGregor's quick loss at UFC 329 and what it means for his future, his legacy in MMA and whether UFC has declined in popularity over the years, the damage legalized gambling has done to sports, their on-site report and top takeaways from attending Wednesday's AEW Dynamite in Boston including the absence of MJF and the AEW World Championship match being made official for Redemption. Adam Page randomly returning on Collision instead of on Dynamite, who from WWE would be a worthy trade for MJF in AEW, what the hell happened to Bron Breakker, and FULL PREDICTIONS for Saturday Night's Main Event in Madison Square Garden featuring CM Punk and Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn and Gunther!

After previewing Conor McGregor's UFC return coming up this weekend and talking Maxxine Dupri's heel turn on Raw, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau offer their honest analysis on what's been a super eventful week in wrestling, starting with Kenny Omega beating MJF for the AEW World Championship on Dynamite. Why now and not at Redemption in Canada at the end of the month? Will it end up being a three-way with Omega, MJF and Will Ospreay at All In? Where does MJF go from here?

That leads them into their next hot topic: CM Punk returning on Raw to dethrone Sami Zayn as Undisputed WWE Champion! As cool of a moment as it was in Chicago, it also didn't make a ton of sense, and the duo discuss why. They also talk about how it could have been worse, why a heel turn for Punk should be coming and if it would work, and why all hope may not be lost for Zayn going forward.

To close out the episode, GSM and RJ share their thoughts on Sheamus leaving WWE after refusing to restructure his current deal, what's being lost in context, if he'll end up in AEW, what it says about Triple H's style of booking, and more!

There's no shortage of topics to talk about (wrestling related and otherwise!) on this week's WrestleRant Radio as Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau waste no time discussing all the latest NBA trades including LeBron James leaving the Lakers, the World Cup, what will happen when Kenny Omega challenges MJF for the AEW World Championship on next week's Dynamite, Mike Santana and Eric Young being among the rumored WWE signings, thoughts on Night of Champions and what stood out from the show, Sami Zayn finally winning the Undisputed WWE Championship and how long it will last, Oba Femi forgoing his King of the Ring title shot and facing Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam instead, Seth Rollins challenging Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship, and more!
