Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine's Top 5 kicks off with the business story that could reshape wrestling television: Paramount's roughly $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery has now cleared its last major roadblocks. The guys talk through what a combined Paramount-WBD actually means for AEW's TV home and the wider wrestling media landscape.
From there it's the Chicago showdown nobody asked for twice: AEW All Out at Now Arena and WWE Worlds Collide at Allstate Arena both land on September 26, marking the third head-to-head clash between the companies this year. Garrett and Paul weigh in on how each promotion is positioning its card and what the competing shows say about the state of the wrestling business.
Also making the list: Penta's post-match statement on Raw, a week removed from his instant-classic World Heavyweight Championship match with Roman Reigns, where he made it clear he's not done chasing Reigns and the title, with word that WWE brass are already considering running it back on a bigger stage. Janel Grant's wide-ranging exclusive interview with Post Wrestling and Wrestlenomics, in which she says she now feels forgiveness toward Vince McMahon, also factors into the conversation. And WWE's quick reversal on Trick Williams' "Lemon Pepper Steppers" T-shirt — pulled from WWE Shop within a day after fans called out imagery as racially insensitive — is also part of the top five.
