Could it be– a high quality version of Smackdown and RAW? It truly is! Chelsea Green will not only keep her WWE championship, but the risk of her losing it is wisely being used as a path to get her more over with the audience. Not only that, but she also got to go toe to toe on the mic with Gunther!

Plus, we got a RAW full of great matches that was capped off by one of the best Bloodline story beats in recent memories.

The Main Event: Is it time for Kevin Owens to be champion?

Kevin Owens has been back for a few weeks and he’s already got a WWE Title match. And there are likely a lot of people who are not aware of just how special a performer he is. That’s where we come in!

The Three Count: 

Julian put over a pop punk sermon.

Hal put over Lyra Valkyria finding her heeldom.

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