William Regal Called Out Aew'S Dangerous Working Style
William Regal’s AEW Safety Warning Exposes a 5-Year Crisis
William Regal publicly warned Tony Khan about AEW’s dangerous working style, and the response has been predictably defensive. But Regal wasn’t attacking the product—he was exposing a fundamental identity crisis five years in the making. AEW built its brand on creative freedom and high-risk wrestling. That freedom created incredible moments. It also created a culture where questioning safety became synonymous with not understanding the product. The injury list tells its own story: many serious injuries haven’t come from botches but from spots that went exactly as planned. That’s not bad luck—that’s a systemic problem. My bold prediction: within 18 months, either AEW implements significant safety protocols, or a catastrophic injury forces change from outside pressure. Something has to give.

AEW All Out DESTROYS WWE Wrestlepalooza: 5 Hours vs 30 Dollar ESPN Disaster!
Watch the Replay
AEW All Out proved to be the decisive winner in the pro wrestling showdown, delivering quality in-ring action that WWE’s Wrestlepalooza—and its expensive $30 ESPN subscription—simply couldn’t match. While WWE’s show was a corporate disappointment filled with controversial returns and recycled matches, AEW’s five-hour marathon was a rollercoaster of incredible performances and shocking moments.From the brutal masterpiece between Mark Briscoe and MJF to the “must-see car crash” of the Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin Coffin Match, AEW won the night. Meanwhile, WWE’s event was defined by a stale Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena main event and a mixed tag match that made fans uncomfortable. Read the full Ringside Report verdict to find out why All Out’s quality of wrestling gave it the decisive victory, and why WWE’s “age problem” and ESPN debut spelled disaster.

Wwe'S Worst Smackdown In Months
WWE’s Worst Smackdown in Months: What Went Wrong Friday Night?
WWE Smackdown delivered its worst show in months Friday night, prompting Wrestling Uncensored’s Dave Simon to declare “nothing worthwhile, not a damn thing.” The disaster included embarrassingly bad Cody Rhodes-Drew McIntyre cinematic segments with VHS-style camera glitches, heel tag champions losing to heels, babyfaces attacking heels, and a main event ending without a finish. The only bright spot was R-Truth mistaking Joe Hendry for Joe Pesci. Meanwhile, Dave defends Triple H’s controversial decision to have Gunther make John Cena tap out at Saturday Night’s Main Event—arguing bold booking beats safe nostalgia. Plus AEW’s MJF crashes World’s End and CM Punk’s first title defense looms.

John Cena Last Match
John Cena’s Last Match: Why Gunther Is the Perfect Final Opponent for Wrestling’s Most Polarizing Champion
The John Cena last match against Gunther isn’t getting the emotional farewell WWE probably expected. After 20 years as the company’s top guy, Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North are asking the uncomfortable questions: Does Cena belong on wrestling’s Mount Rushmore alongside Hogan, Austin, and The Rock? Was his run more about incredible work ethic and durability than actual greatness? And is Gunther—the most dominant wrestler of this generation—the perfect opponent to expose Cena’s limitations one last time? The answers reveal why Cena’s legacy remains wrestling’s most controversial debate, and why Saturday Night’s Main Event might deliver the reality check instead of the storybook ending.

Gunther Wins John Cena Tournament
Gunther Wins John Cena Tournament: Ring General Earns Final Match Spot
Gunther ending John Cena’s career isn’t just the right call — it’s the smartest booking decision WWE has made in years. When the Ring General pinned LA Knight clean on SmackDown to earn the WrestleMania match, some fans immediately called for Cody Rhodes or Randy Orton in that spot. They’re missing the point entirely. Cena doesn’t need a nostalgia match against someone he’s already beaten a dozen times. He needs to put over the future of the company on the way out, and Gunther is exactly that guy. Here’s why WWE finally got a retirement storyline right and what it means for the Ring General’s legacy.
