Garrett Gonzales and Jeremy Finestone recap AEW WrestleDream 2026 from Orlando, starting with the match that stole the show: Jon Moxley vs. Mark Davis for the Continental Championship.

The guys explain why it was one of Moxley's most emotional performances in AEW. Then it's the Young Bucks ...

Paul Fontaine and Garrett Gonzales dig into the Kevin Owens and CM Punk feud ahead of their August 21 Undisputed WWE Championship match in Toronto. The promos have leaned hard into 20 years of legitimate independent-scene history between the two, with Owens airing out how Punk treated him back in their ROH days — but the guys ask the real question: can the actual match live up to that level of personal, shoot-style promo work, or is this a case of the build outpacing the payoff? From there, they...

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine open by asking a question that might be a little early to ask: is the Bloodline story dead? Solo Sikoa's loss to Jey Uso means he's forced back into the fold, and with Zilla Fatu reportedly on the way to join Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, and the Usos, the guys debate whether WWE is smartly evolving the saga or stretching a well past its best days. From there, they shift to AEW, where Will Ospreay just battled Mark Davis in a brutal street fight at Grand Slam Mexi...
