On this edition of Takedown, Paul Fontaine and Garrett Gonzales dive deep into the shifting tides of the professional wrestling industry. With WrestleMania 42 on the horizon, the landscape looks far different than it did a year ago.

Is AEW Actually on the Rise? The guys break down the latest AEW TV ratings and overall popularity. While critics are loud, the data suggests a potential resurgence in key demographics. We analyze if Tony Khan’s promotion is truly gaining the momentum needed to challenge WWE's dominance or if the "rise" is just a temporary spike.

WWE WrestleMania 42 Ticket Sales & Card Chaos In a shocking turn, reports indicate that WrestleMania 42 ticket sales are currently behind the record-breaking pace of last year’s event in Las Vegas. Why is the "Showcase of the Immortals" struggling to move tickets at the same rate? Paul and Garrett discuss:

The impact of record-high ticket prices on the average fan.

Why the WrestleMania card is reportedly in flux and undergoing major changes.

The rumors of internal tension regarding the creative direction for Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.

Triple H: The New "Fall Guy"? As ticket sales slow and the creative build faces scrutiny, many within the industry are pointing the finger at Triple H. We discuss whether "The Game" is unfairly being made the fall guy for broader economic factors or if the "Levesque Era" is losing its magic.

Topics covered include:

AEW vs. WWE popularity trends in 2026.

Detailed analysis of WrestleMania 42's Las Vegas residency.

The "Triple H internal criticism" reports from the Wrestling Observer.

What a changing WrestleMania card means for the fans.
