It's a special Draft Day edition of WrestleRant Radio this week as Graham "GSM" Matthews gets complete coverage of the 2022 NFL Draft from RJ Marceau including thoughts on who's eligible to be picked from the Big Board, top names to keep an eye on, the order of the teams, his love for the Georgia Bulldogs and how they replenish the pot year after year, and much more. Of course, there's plenty of wrestling chatter as well as the duo discuss the celebration of Randy Orton's 20-year anniversary in WWE on Monday's Raw, the return of Asuka and if she's being groomed for a shot at the Raw Women's Championship, Becky Lynch's controversial comments regarding AEW's women's division and if there's any truth to what she said, and Mustafa Ali shockingly resurfacing on Raw as well. Did this latest run for him be better than the last, or is a departure still likely later this year?

GSM and RJ Marceau then reflect back on the six-year anniversary of Samoa Joe winning the NXT Championship at an NXT house show they attended before getting into how Raw has been better lately (awful weddings notwithstanding), Theory winning the United States Championship and how far he can go, Randy Orton celebrating 20 years in WWE next month and what some of his best matches are, Rhea Ripley turning heel, Bianca Belair's upcoming opponents, and Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens for the first time ever.
They also have plenty of thoughts on Kushida leaving NXT and if more releases are soon to follow, the debut of Roxanne Perez on Tuesday's show, why Sammy Guevara turning heel was the right move and why him regaining the AEW TNT Championship was the wrong one, AEW and New Japan Pro-Wrestling announcing their first-ever joint show for June and what the main event could be, CM Punk vs. Adam Page being primed for the Double or Nothing main event, why WWE being interested in FTR is hardly surprising, Jack Evans' AEW contract not being renewed, and what's next for Darby Allin and Andrade El Idolo following their Coffin match main event.

It's the annual WrestleMania roundtable on WrestleRant Radio, and Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau are bringing in the big guns! Joining them for their complete preview of WrestleMania 38 this weekend is New Rockstars' own Tommy Bechtold, and they waste no time in talking NXT Stand & Deliver on Saturday afternoon and other thoughts on the current WWE product.
