It's one big weekend of two stacked shows - with both WWE and AEW heading to pay-per-view on Saturday and Sunday respectively.  We've got WWE in Saudi Arabia with King and Queen of the Ring on Saturday; and then, twenty-four-hours later, AEW brings Double or Nothing to our screens.  But despite the build to both shows, we're feeling slightly 'meh' about each of the shows.  Nevertheless, we're pouring through - as we look at a weird twist for Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul, Darby Allin returning for Anarchy In The Arena, who will win the King and Queen of the Ring and lots, lots more! GET INVOLVED WITH THE PODCAST: @jack_murley @charlie_beckett

We called it on last week's show, and it's like Triple H heard us - because Logan Paul has emerged as the new challenger for Cody Rhodes and his Undisputed WWE Championship in Saudi Arabia at King and Queen of the Ring.  We've also got some VERY intriguing brackets in the King and Queen of the Ring, so we break down the potential winners as the tournament heads towards the semi-final stage (including why Charlie is mighty angry at one specific piece of WWE booking!) - plus the build towards Double or Nothing, where Anarchy in the Arena is looming for eight AEW superstars. And, be honest - have you ever thought of hitting a wrestling move in real life?! GET IN TOUCH WITH THE PODCAST: @jack_murley @charlie_beckett

France, we're sorry. Last week, we doubted whether you'd be able to deliver a crowd that was memorable for Backlash France - and instead, you delivered an all-time crowd reaction that was as good as any atmosphere that professional wrestling has ever had! We talk about how LOUD that atmosphere was and why international audiences are delivering brilliant moments - plus some of the King of the Ring bangers we've had this week, some terrible health news from Kenny Omega, a celebration of independent wrestling, and your choices for wrestling's worst rebrands! GET IN TOUCH WITH THE SHOW? @jack_murley @charlie_beckett

The WWE Draft is in the books - and it's a solid (if unspectacular effort) from WWE in the post WrestleMania lull.  But that doesn't mean there's not going to be a cracking weekend of wrestling in France for Backlash - even if we're not sure exactly where it's happening - plus AEW take a big creative gamble by having the Elite attack Tony Khan on Dynamite. Plus Punk and McIntyre continue to shine on Raw, a conversation about the worst rebranding in wrestling history, some tragic geography knowledge and loads, loads more!

We thought it would deliver - and boy, did it ever! Will Ospreay and Danielson met the sky-high expectations that were set for them at AEW Dynasty by delivering an all-timer of a match, on a show that saw a new AEW World Champion crowned and the return of Jack Perry. We get onto all of that - plus Becky Lynch becomes Women's World Champion for the seventh time, Dominik Mysterio looks like he may stray from Rhea Ripley, the internet shamefully shames Sheamus, Charlie fantasy books a 'Summer of Drew' - and loads, loads more. GET INVOLVED WITH THE PODCAST: @jack_murley @charlie_beckett

We're back, baby!  And we're returning from a fortnight off with a bang - as we look back at why WrestleMania XL was an all-timer, how WWE is smashing it with its new production techniques, Rhea Ripley's injury nightmare, and AEW preparing to serve up a Sunday of superb wrestling at AEW Dynasty. Plus why the Usos match failed to deliver, the ridiculousness of AEW airing the the CM Punk-Jack Perry footage, Paul Heyman's Hall of Fame speech and loads, loads more.  GET INVOLVED WITH THE PODCAST: @jack_murley @charlie_beckett jack@jackmurley.com

The Great One brings back The Rock Concert, Cody Rhodes gets real, Adam Copeland makes Christian Cage say ‘I Quit’ and Mauro Ranallo could be back behind a wrestling microphone – all that and more happening over the past seven days, and all of it's on this week's podcast. We're talking about whether 'The Special One' deserves special treatment, a potential return for the Dudley Boyz at WrestleMania, what's next for Adam Copeland after vanquishing Christian Cage - and what it would take to make us say 'I Quit!' Plus a new Bray Wyatt documentary, what is Chad Gable up to and loads, loads more! GET INVOLVED WITH THE PODCAST: @jack_murley @charlie_beckett

AEW is Mone, Cody slaps The Rock, Danielson versus Ospreay is confirmed and WrestleMania is getting a ladder match – it’s all happening in wrestling this week, and it’s all coming up on this week’s Earning The Push. We talk about AEW's huge show from Boston for their 'Big Business' themed Dynamite where the former Sasha Banks made her debut, and discuss how that could invigorate AEW's women's division - and the promotion in general. Plus, Cody Rhodes gets a slap in on The Rock (although it barely made it to air), Sami Zayn earns an IC Title shot at WrestleMania - and John Cena gets naked at the Oscars!

Farewell to the Icon, hello to the Rainmaker – and the stakes for WrestleMania becoming clearer, it’s been another big week in professional wrestling. On this week's episode, we're talking about how AEW hit a home-run in how it handled Sting's retirement, how Darby Allin defied the odds against with a brutal ladder spot, why AEW has a massive few weeks ahead of it, the pure cinema of The Rock acknowledging Roman Reigns on Smackdown, Paul Heyman entering the WWE Hall of Fame - and your thoughts on whether Drew is the best heel in the business right now!

From the Land Down Under to the Grandest Stage of Them All – the road to WrestleMania is now looking a little clearer after Elimination Chamber emanated from Perth. Some storylines reached a natural conclusion, some surprising issues were ignited - and meanwhile, in AEW, we prepare to say goodbye to an icon this weekend at Revolution. We get into all of it on this week's podcast - how Rhea Ripley is a star, Tiffany Stratton maximising her minutes, AJ Styles flying half-way round the world to batter LA Knight, and whether Dominik Mysterio is the right man to dethrone Gunther... no, really!

As the road to WrestleMania heads Down Under this weekend, we’re back with your one-stop shop for all your wrestling needs – predictions, pontifications and a load of pointless opinions, all-honed into one perfect podcast form! We're getting ready for Elimination Chamber in Perth, we're talking about Hollywood Rock shining as he joins The Bloodline, why Seth Rollins continue to deliver and so much more.

So, we can all breathe. After a week of turmoil, things are a little bit clearer about where we’re going for WrestleMania – and man, is the road to the Grandest Stage of the Them All looking exciting. A heel Rock, an empowered Bloodline, Cody calling his right shot and so much more besides - and what happens in Vegas definitely doesn't stay in Vegas after a sensational press conference in Sin City! We're talking about WWE calling a massive audible and why it was best for business, Seth Rollins stepping up, whether Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch could be the biggest women's match ever and loads, loads more!

At the risk of sounding redundant, what a week in wrestling. The main event of Wrestlemania? Who knows? Is The Rock a face or a heel? Who knows? Will we get answers any time soon? Who knows? Feelings running high, tensions boiling over – amongst fans, wrestlers, pundits, everyone – and we’re talking all about it on this week’s Earning The Push. We talk about the Earth-shattering decision by WWE to insert The Rock into the Wrestlemania main event scene at the expense of Cody Rhodes; the 'Rocky Sucks' chants on Raw; how WWE can fix the damage they've done; the segment of fans who actually LIKE this creative - basically, we try and break this all down, and hazard a guess at what the outcome could be!

It was meant to be the week where the road to WrestleMania became a little clear – but in reality, injuries and uncertainty mean that EVERYTHING is still up in the air when it comes to the Grandest Stage of Them All.

The phrase ‘what a week’ doesn’t really do the past seven days justice – but still, what a week! WWE announces that Raw will move to Netflix in a deal that overturns the way we will consume their product, The Rock joins the board of TKO, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes have an epic confrontation, William Regal returns on NXT - oh, and the Royal Rumble is this Saturday, and no-one has a clue about what we’re going to be doing at WrestleMania. We get into it all on this week's show - including why this could be the wildest Final Four in Rumble history, surprises and suspense - and Charlie's problems with bags for life!
