It's Christmas week here on WrestleRant Radio and Graham "GSM" Matthews is coming to town with a full review of Monday's holiday-themed episode of Raw! The show was hosted by none other than Ho-Ho-Hogan who made several marquee matches official for the night, only to be interrupted by the "naughty" Seth Rollins. He and John Cena worked a great match, but where was Brock Lesnar? GSM makes a case for why Lesnar vs. Cena IV should be happening on the first Raw on 2015 and not at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
Furthermore, Dolph Ziggler put his Intercontinental Championship on the line against Luke Harper in a rematch from TLC. WWE is pushing the narrative that 2015 will be Ziggler's year, but can wrestling fans buy into that this time around? Rusev and Ryback also clashed on Piper's Pit, and GSM gets into why it'll be one of the most anticipated matches in recent memory. The night's main event saw Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose settle their score in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight, and despite how entertaining the matchup was, GSM has an issue with the ending.

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!

It's been a week to remember in the world of wrestling, and WrestleRant Radio's final live show of the year analyzes it all! The big story this week has been CM Punk signing with UFC and Graham "GSM" Matthews, RJ Marceau and special guest Branden Dross waste no time in getting into it. What were their thoughts on it and do they foresee success for the Straightedge Savior in the organization? Speaking of UFC, will Brock Lesnar be joining him when his WWE contract expires in the spring? The Slammy Awards were a hot topic this week as well and whether the fan voting was rigged. Was Roman Reigns really Superstar of the Year worthy?
Thursday's NXT TakeOver: R Evolution event is shaping up to be a strong show with plenty to get excited about. Charlotte, who recently made her main roster debut, defends the NXT Women's Championship against Sasha Banks. Will she escape the event with her title intact? Will Sami Zayn finally win the NXT Championship? And how will Kevin Owens make his presence felt? Also, the trio talk their predictions for Sunday's WWE TLC pay-per-view event, if Randy Orton will get involved, future booking on the road to WrestleMania, and much more!

After another controversial week that has had the entire wrestling world talking, WrestleRant Radio is back with Graham "GSM" Matthews, RJ Marceau and special guest host Clark dissecting it all! 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? Shane McMahon? Eric Bischoff? The Anonymous Raw General Manager? From there, the trio give their thoughts on Stone Cold Steve Austin's candid podcast with Vince McMahon including Cesaro not having "it", Brock Lesnar's lack of appearances as champion, "Macho Man" Randy Savage going into the WWE Hall of Fame, and much more.
CM Punk has also been a hot topic as of late after breaking his silence on Colt Cabana's podcast on Thanksgiving Thursday. Was he in the right after all? GSM, RJ and Clark give their two thoughts along with his health issues, the walkout, his heat with Triple H, Batista rumors, not getting along with Ryback, and whether he'll ever be back in WWE.

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. One of the biggest talking points coming out of the show was Erick Rowan's inclusion on Team Cena. Was it the right move? Luke Harper also walked away from Raw with Intercontinental Championship gold around his waist. Could his first feud for the belt be with one of his former Wyatt Family stablemates? They also give their two cents on The Great Khali's release and TNA potentially landing a new TV deal.
In the final stretch of the show, the trio give their picks for Sunday's Survivor Series event. Will Team Authority fall to Team Cena and finally lose power? Will new tag team champions be crowned? Will Brie Bella (inadvertently or otherwise) help her sister win the Divas Championship? Also, tune for thoughts AJ Lee's rumored departure, the return of Fandango, if Randy Orton will be at the event, and more!
