Episode notes
It’s a big week for championships in the WWE this week– the deck continues to be shuffled ever since Seth Rollins was injured. Titles were defended and lost across both of the main shows. Which of these new champions are we most excited for? And where are those who came up short left in the final months of wrestling in 2025?
The Main Event
In April 2023, WWE established the newest version of the World Heavyweight Championship. There have been a few highs… and a whole lot of lows because of booking decisions and injuries. Now that they’re ready to crown the newest Champion on November first, we take a look at one of WWE’s newest titles.
