Episode notes

Let’s all bid a fond farewell to our favorite man on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

This past Saturday was King and Queen of the ring- another WWE PLE live from Saudi Arabia. There’s a lot to like about seeing a foreign crowd excited about live wrestling, but lest we forget that these shows are directly paid for by a murderous regime with awful politics. So let’s talk about that.

Regardless of how we feel about the show, the results will play into the weekly shows as well. Gunther and Nia Jax are now certified royalty and will get championship matches at SummerSlam.

Plus, Logan Paul remains infuriatingly good at wrestling; and NXT is officially working with TNA in an expanded capacity with Jordynne Grace booked for a match against Roxanne Perez.

COOKIE!

The Main Event

Becky Lynch has been one of the biggest stars in WWE for several years now. She’s held titles, main evented WrestleMania and been relied on to do a lot on this most recent run. But as of this week she is no longer the Women’s World Champion and has not signed a new deal with the company.
