From NXT TakeOver: R Evolution to WWE TLC to Monday Night Raw, it's been a wild week in the world of wrestling. The best part? It's not over yet! The latest WrestleRant Radio is loaded with thoughts on the past week in wrestling including Thursday's live NXT special, and what a stellar show it was! It saw the WWE debut of Kevin Owens, and his actions at both the start and end of the special! Graham "GSM" Matthews gives his thoughts on Owens as well as the pending feud between Baron Corbin and Bull Dempsey, Finn Balor's new (or old?) look, an amazing outing from the ladies of NXT, and Sami Zayn's big win in what was the match of the year!
In the second half of the show, GSM sits down with his college roommate Connor the Casual (aka "ScrubLord") to dissect his brain on Sunday's TLC pay-per-view. How did a casual viewer perceive the show? Was it as bad as some people made it out to be? They give their two cents on Dolph Ziggler winning the Intercontinental Championship, Damien Mizdow's potential, the great Stairs match (yes, you read that right!) between Big Show and Erick Rowan, the return of Roman Reigns, Rusev's undefeated streak and when he should be beat, Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt stealing the show in the main event, and more!

They kick off the show briefly recapping Survivor Series, Sting's WWE debut and Daniel Bryan's return before transitioning into a fairly popular question: Who will take over WWE now that The Authority is out of power?

We're only days away from Survivor Series, but before getting to their predictions for WWE's premiere pay-per-view, the trio of Graham "GSM" Matthews, RJ Marceau and special guest Mike Yoder discuss Monday's Raw.

It's been a newsworthy last seven days in the world of wrestling, and Graham "GSM" Matthews, RJ Marceau and special guest Jared dissect it all! To kick things off, GSM and Jared discuss the debut episode of Lucha Underground and what you should go out of your way to watch from it. Could it prove to be competition for TNA?
