Join Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine for a deep-dive edition of Takedown as they react live to one of the most shocking weeks in modern pro wrestling history. The landscape of WWE has shifted overnight with the departure of The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and Jeff Cobb, marking a massive pivot in TKO’s talent management strategy.
In this hour-long episode, we break down the business and the booking behind these moves. With TKO Group Holdings reportedly pushing for significant pay cuts and contract restructures, we discuss if this is the start of a "leaner" era for WWE and what it means for the remaining locker room.
Topics covered in this livestream include:
The New Day Requests Release: Analyzing the fallout of Kofi and Xavier leaving WWE. Is an AEW debut inevitable, or could they head to New Japan?
Jeff Cobb & The Roster Purge: Why Jeff Cobb is out and who else might be on the chopping block under the new TKO regime.
TKO's Financial Strategy: A look at the business side of WWE in 2026—pay cuts, roster size targets, and the bottom line.
WWE Backlash Preview: We look ahead to the big card in Tampa. Can the current roster keep the momentum going amidst the backstage turmoil?
