They discussed the fallout from a newsworthy Raw Supershow including Triple H&#8217;s announced return to the ring. Also, live calls most of the hour covering more subjects including Smackdown going live, the NWO reforming, Dolph Ziggler&#8217;s showing against Randy Orton, and more. In the previously VIP-exclusive Aftershow, they delved more into Raw and also last week&#8217;s TNA Impact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK: <\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2026\/09\/20260917WKPWP-15YrsAgo-VIP.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
