Drew McIntyre is WWE Champion! Just one week after we’d noticed that the company seemed hesitant to shake things up at the top of the men’s card, the Scottish Psychopath beat Cody Rhodes for the top title in the company. Where does Drew go from here? And will there be cats? Hopefully!

Plus, how we would make Finn Balor vs. CM Punk more interesting.

The Main Event: Alison Lyn Miller

There’s a new wrestling book hitting store shelves this month:

Rough House: A Father, a Son and thePursuit of Pro Wrestling Glory. It’s the story of Georgia born Hunter James as he tries to surpass the wrestling legacy of his father. That includes the turbulent world of the indies where things are, shall we say, not as glamorous as all televised wrestling we see every week.

Alison Lyn Miller joins us to discuss the book. You can find her on tour now.

The Three Count

Lindsey put over Bayley on What’s Your Story?.

Julian put over Glasgow’s favorite son returning home.

Hal put over John Cena making Bret Hart noticing Goldberg on that grassy knoll.
