It’s the first episode of Tights and Fights in the new year! What an eventful couple of weeks we’ve missed so far– tons of championships changed hands and many new faces appeared across all WWE shows.

But there’s still an air of caution to all of these moves. We’ll explain why.

The Main Event: Our Predictions for 2026

2026 is here and it brings with it so many possibilities in wrestling. So we decided to get some skin in the game. We are going to go around and each make three predictions each, one at a time. At the end of the year, whoever gets the most correct will be allowed to force the panel to watch and react to one wrestling match or wrestling related piece of media of the winner’s choice.

The Three Count

Danielle put over Jamie Hayter’s fit check at AEW World’s End.

Lindsey put over Tanahashi’s retirement ceremony and the Wholesome Hottie Maxxine Dupri
