Royal Rumble 2026: Why Roman Reigns Is the Only Real Pick & Kenny Omega’s MJF Warning
Drew McIntyre isn’t a WrestleMania main eventer—and Dave Simon isn’t afraid to say it. This week on Wrestling Uncensored, Dave breaks down why Roman Reigns is the only real Royal Rumble 2026 pick, pitches a Cody Rhodes heel turn scenario, and reacts to Kenny Omega’s return with MJF in his sights.
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.

Andrade’s WWE Contract War Exposes Wrestling’s Broken System

WWE Crown Jewel 2025: The Preview That Became Reality
You know that feeling when you’re watching a “special event” and it just feels… different? Like a house show on a grand scale? That’s what a lot of fans, and especially the Wrestling Uncensored crew, thought about Crown Jewel 2025.
It’s a show built for a specific crowd on a specific night, designed to create a buzz, not to build long-term storylines. When Dave Simon called it a “glorified spot show,” he wasn’t trying to be rude. He was just being honest. With no titles on the line and matches like John Cena vs. AJ Styles happening purely for the nostalgia, the results were predictable.
Seth beats Cody. Stephanie beats Tiffany. Roman beats Bronson. Rhea beats the Kabuki Warriors.
And you know what? That’s okay. Because sometimes, a show doesn’t need to change the wrestling world forever. It just needs to be a fun night for the fans in the building. As Johnny North said, it’s a show that’s meant to “just give some Australians a good time,” and in that sense, it was a total success.
Forbidden Door 2025 Preview: Hangman vs. MJF, Cena’s Final Tour and WWE’s Creative Problems
Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Johnny North delivered their most passionate debate of the year while previewing Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door from London’s O2 Arena. The duo clashed over whether “Timeless” Toni Storm should retain her Women’s World Championship against Athena, with Simon delivering a fiery defense: “Tony Storm is a superstar – she makes the championship important, she makes the division important. Athena’s promos are terrible compared to Storm’s, which are some of the best in the business.”
But the real fireworks came during their analysis of WWE’s backstage culture, as Simon raised serious concerns about Triple H’s behavior on WWE Untold. “He’s holding them very close, whispering in their ears while they’re basically in their gear,” Simon observed about Triple H’s extended embraces with wrestlers. “It’s not a workplace thing – this is like a power move.”
From Hangman Page’s “magnificent” title reign that has him “crushing promos” against MJF, to potential dream matches featuring the “fucking good team” of Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay, the hosts delivered their most comprehensive wrestling analysis yet. Plus: Chris Jericho’s rumored WWE return, John Cena’s farewell tour strategy, and why Simon thinks WWE’s comedy segments are “cringy” disasters that ruin otherwise solid programming.
