In this packed episode of Powerbombshells, hosts Mel Gray and Sam Schipman dive deep into a historic week for professional wrestling! We kick things off with our immediate reactions to NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20 at the Tokyo Dome. From the emotional retirement of the "Ace" Hiroshi Tanahashi to the high-stakes title matches, we break down what worked, what surprised us, and what this means for the future of New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2026.
Next, we shift our focus to AEW Dynamite: New Year’s Smash, where Willow Nightingale made history by defeating Mercedes Moné to become the first-ever two-time TBS Champion. We discuss the match quality, the incredible post-match celebration with The Conglomeration and Kris Statlander, and where the "CEO" goes from here after losing her "beloved" title. Is Willow now the face of the AEW women’s division?
Finally, we are joined by former WWE writer and producer Michael Leonardi. This is a must-watch interview for anyone interested in the inner workings of sports entertainment.
