Ricochet defending the AEW National Championship already feels different.
It’s the first defense.
It’s happening on ROH.
And all signs point to this title eventually traveling outside AEW — maybe NJPW, maybe CMLL.

Iron Survivor is booked perfectly for NXT — fun, chaotic, and completely unpredictable.
Everyone feels like they could win, which is why it works. Move it to the main roster too fast, and that magic probably disappears.

Cena vs Gunther feels like a massive farewell match — especially with a stacked card around it and NXT crossing over.
But once we dug into it, the big question became:
Is this the best use of Cena’s final run… or another example of a send-off that feels rushed and poorly planned?

John Cena’s farewell isn’t about regret — it’s about being centered.
From his recent interview, it’s clear he’s not stuck on “what could’ve been.”
He’s focused, at peace, and moving forward — and that mindset might be his greatest legacy.

Wrestling absolutely dominated our week (hi, John Cena)… but the real revelation?
The new 880 Wrestling venue is fantastic.
More space.
Plenty of parking.
No crowd bottlenecks.
A projector wrestlers should stop bumping into.
And Slimeballs still sliding like it’s his job. 😂

“What did we learn this week?”
That Kendal Gray is absurdly good.
Iron Survivor winner.
EVOLVE Champion.
Instantly stands out in NXT.
The Kurt Angle comparisons don’t feel crazy once you actually see her work — and the fact she’s already headed toward a title match tells you everything.

The Miz quietly posting Cena throwbacks and counting down days might be more than nostalgia — it could be WWE’s sneakiest long-term story.
Cena says he’s opening the show.
Miz isn’t listed anywhere.
And that uncertainty is EXACTLY why this works.

ROH absolutely cooked this weekend — and the highlight was
Lee Moriarty vs Nigel McGuinness in a 30-minute Iron Man match.
If you love technical, pure wrestling, this was appointment viewing.
Lee Moriarty continues to grow, add personality, and redefine the Pure Title.

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a basketball mascot get over HUGE at an indie wrestling show. 🏀😂
At NWA Exodus’ 3rd anniversary charity event, the crowd ERUPTED when the ball came out — chanting, singing, and losing their minds. One of the best live wrestling moments ever.

Cena’s heel turn?
Not a story. Not a plan.
Just “we need a big moment for Elimination Chamber.” 🤷♂️
And because WWE was chasing viral moments, we lost:
• Cena vs LA Knight
• Cena vs Miz
• Cena vs Carmelo Hayes
• Cena vs Roman Reigns

John Cena’s “heel turn” wasn’t a story — it was a content strategy.

🔥 Cena vs LA Knight

Intern take: Cena’s farewell run was a booking disaster — and the argument is convincing.
• Cena wanted to work more
• Studio insurance limited him
• WWE burned dates on Logan Paul
• No LA Knight, no Miz, no rising-star showcases
• Too focused on viral clips vs meaningful matches
• Cena wanted to work more
• Studio insurance limited him
• WWE burned dates on Logan Paul
• No LA Knight, no Miz, no rising-star showcases
• Too focused on viral clips vs meaningful matches

Cena’s heel run had its bumps, but it was WAY better than people remember — and the Punk feud is where the tide really started to shift.
But now Gunther wants to do the impossible:
Make John Cena give up.
Is it even believable?

Cena didn’t limit his WWE run — Hollywood did.
Movie studios reportedly required a $500k insurance bond per match, making live events nearly impossible. 🤯
We dig into why his schedule was locked, what matches we missed out on, and how WWE made the most of his 35 dates.
