The winds of change are blowing as Graham "GSM" Matthews brings you yet another exciting edition of WrestleRant Radio the first day of fall featuring full breakdowns of the past week in wrestling! To start the show, he addresses the rumors of WWE potentially buying TNA and what it might be about. Could be we seeing TNA content on the WWE Network soon? And which wrestling couple is making their way to TNA together?
In his review of Raw, GSM emphasizes while it wasn't a strong go-home show, it was highlighted by the debut of the Cruiserweights (despite an odd initial presentation), a Steel Cage (?) main event, more matches made official for Clash of Champions, Chris Jericho's latest list, and Seth Rollins and Rusev going one-on-one for the first time ever.
From there, GSM gives his thoughts on Apollo Crews being directionless, the Intercontinental Championship rematch between Dolph Ziggler and The Miz, Dean Ambrose beating John Cena in clean fashion, Samoa Joe's gem of a promo on NXT, Full Sail University jumping the shark, Cedric Alexander's NXT debut, and FULL PREDICTIONS for Clash of Champions on Sunday night!

With another exciting week of wrestling in the books, Graham "GSM" Matthews is back to discuss it all, including an update on Paige's status with WWE and when fans can expect her back on TV as well as CM Punk's debut fight against Mickey Gall at UFC 203. What will his future hold in the mixed martial arts world?
From there, GSM wastes no times in talking about SmackDown Live's Backlash pay-per-view pay-per-view event that featured AJ Styles finally becoming WWE World Champion, Becky Lynch, Heath Slater and Rhyno making history, a confusing mess with Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Kane, The Usos showing off a new look, and The Miz and Dolph Ziggler battling over the Intercontinental Championship.
Furthermore, GSM gives his two cents on an average edition of Raw that saw a confusing finish to a women's match, Chris Jericho hosting The Highlight Reel with Sami Zayn, Jack Swagger calling it quits, and Rusev returning in addition to the Cruiserweight Classic finale and the inaugural WWE Cruiserweight Champion!
