Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau open WrestleRant Radio this week with a tribute to Bray Wyatt, who tragically passed away at the age of 36 on August 24th. They talk WWE honoring him this past week before celebrating his life and legacy and remembering his greatest matches and moments.
There's also unfortunately more AEW behind-the-scenes drama for the duo to discuss, specifically centered around CM Punk and Jack Perry. In addition to both stars getting suspended, what consequences will stem from the situation? How much blame does Tony Khan bare for not stepping in sooner? And is it time for AEW to finally part ways with Punk?
GSM and RJ then give their overall thoughts on AEW All In emanating from Wembley Stadium in London last Sunday and if it lived up to the hype, the best bout of the night, Saraya winning the AEW Women's World Championship, Mercedes Mone making an appearance and her future with the promotion, what's next for MJF and Adam Cole coming off their AEW World Championship clash, and if All In can become AEW's WrestleMania going forward.
Stick around for FULL PREDICTIONS for WWE Payback and AEW All Out this weekend!

Lacey Evans is officially gone from WWE as of earlier this week, but is she an example of someone the company missed the boat on?
