Coming off one of the most newsworthy weeks in wrestling in recent memory, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau are breaking it all down on WrestleRant Radio, starting with the news that Jade Cargill has exited AEW and is reportedly WWE bound. They discuss her departure and run there, why a move to WWE is logical, if she should go straight to the main roster or to NXT first, when she should debut, and much more. They also have thoughts on Edge being removed from WWE's internal roster and if Sheamus will re-sign with WWE or leave when his contract expires next year.
GSM and Mr. Marceau then give their top takeaways from Monday's Raw and Wednesday's Grand Slam edition of AEW Dynamite including the Jey Uso saga and how it's been the focal point of WWE's flagship show, what to do with The Viking Raiders, two AEW championships changing hands, and AEW expanding to monthly pay-per-views starting in October. What are the pros and cons? Finally, they get into today's breaking news regarding SmackDown moving back to USA Network in October 2024 as part of a lucrative deal, if the WWE-Fox relationship lived up to its full potential, what it means for the future of Raw and NXT on USA, Elimination Chamber being announced for Australia next February, and a slew of talent releases including Dolph Ziggler, Mustafa Ali, Elias, Top Dolla, and more.
