They discuss the women’s title matches at WrestleMania and the Raw Tag Team Title news.

Then they shift to some talk about the WWE Network transition to Peacock, AEW Revolution fallout including the Inner Circle-MJF angle and the signing of Christian, assessing the AEW-NXT Wednesday battle after 18 months, whether Impact has benefited from the AEW relationship, is Tony Khan in danger of going down the path of other executives who get infatuated with being on-air characters, and finally a look at Pro Wrestling Most Influential People starting with Vince McMahon and Tony Khan.
