Show Notes
COLD OPEN QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Which of these wrestling nicknames and move names would be the best name for a hip-hop artist?
David and Kaz kick off today’s show by discussing their thoughts on Birthright’s diss track aimed at Zilla Fatu before they dive into last night’s ‘AEW Dynamite.’ The guys recap what happened, including the double turn that saw Jon Moxley and the Death Riders turn face and the Bang Bang Gang turn heel and unite with the Dogs. After that, David and Kaz give their takes on Ilja Dragunov's debut match in AEW, followed by a quick note about this week’s ‘Raw.’ The show wraps up with a preview of tomorrow’s ‘SmackDown,’ and David asks whether Kaz would still be excited for a WWE vs. AEW show without match finishes.
After that, David is joined by the no. 1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship, Wren Sinclair! Wren talks about what inspired her to wear Lady Shani’s gear, how her character work makes her stand out from her peers, whether she is a chemistry machine, and so much more!
