There’s been some really strong matches lately, not the least of which was Finn Balor’s effort against CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title. There’s also a really promising rivalry coming up between Jade Cargill and Jordynne Grace.

But we haven’t been able to get excited about the Royal Rumble, mainly because of how poor the build to the show has been. What gives? And can WWE heat this thing up in a week?

The Main Event: Wrestling Interview Shows

Sometimes we just wanna take a break from all that wrestling on our wrestling show. That is when WWE makes a change in presentation and throws in the classic wrestler-hosted interview show. So let’s talk about some of our favorites from over the years and what makes them work.

The Three Count

Danielle put over Jojoblacco.

Lindsey put over Jade Cargill’s interview skills.

Hal put over John Cena making Bruce Prichard’s Streak Baby.

Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.
