Summary

Anthony and Joe kick off the show where they praise Iyo Sky's ring generalship and pacing, while tearing into Seth Rollins' exhausting television presence following his match with Bron Breakker. The guys vent about WWE's creative drought, noting Bill Apter's visible disappointment, the deeply confusing babyface booking of Roman Reigns, and the lack of a proper televised send-off for Asuka. The episode rounds out with a sharp critique of TKO's pricey ESPN streaming model, Backlash booking blunders involving Danhausen and Oba Femi, and a quick check-in on the cast of Jersey Shore.
