It’s an almighty episode of Tights and Fights!

WWE has struggled to establish women’s tag titles as a true attraction. Now they’re having a tournament for the number one contendership with several promising teams in the mix. But will any of them be able to solve the larger problems that have prevented women’s tag teams from reaching new heights?

Plus, while a feud with Randy Orton can doom a young champion, we’ll explain why we’re actually really excited for his match against Gunther.

And with John Cena’s retirement looming large we speculate about how he could put over a lot of great young talent… and still win that elusive 17th world championship.

The Main Event: Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley has been successful both at the tail end of the Ruthless Aggression era and in the modern era. A multiple time champion in WWE and TNA who even had time to fight in MMA for a few years. Now he supposedly plans to leave WWE so who knows what the future may hold.
