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.
AEW All Out DESTROYS WWE Wrestlepalooza: 5 Hours vs 30 Dollar ESPN Disaster!
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.

Why WrestleMania 43 Saudi Arabia Could Be ‘Botch-A-Mania’ Plus Wrestlepalooza Preview
WWE just made wrestling history for all the wrong reasons. When the company announced that WrestleMania 43 would take place in Saudi Arabia in 2027, Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Johnny North didn’t hold back their scathing criticism.
“This may be the weirdest, worst WrestleMania of all time, and I’m kind of excited about it for that reason. Like this may be botch-a-mania,” Dave declared, painting a grim picture of aging legends wrestling in extreme heat for a manufactured audience.
But the controversy doesn’t stop there. With September 20th bringing both WWE’s historic Wrestlepalooza revival and AEW All Out in Toronto on the same night, the hosts broke down why this could be a turning point for professional wrestling – and not necessarily in a good way.
From John Cena’s final Wrestlepalooza appearance against Brock Lesnar to the dream match of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage reuniting against FTR, Simon and North delivered unfiltered analysis that wrestling fans won’t hear anywhere else. They didn’t even spare AJ Lee’s much-hyped return, questioning whether the nostalgia is worth the hype.
Read the full breakdown of their controversial takes, complete with predictions that WWE won’t want you to hear and AEW analysis that goes beyond the typical wrestling media coverage. This is wrestling commentary without corporate filter – exactly what Wrestling Uncensored delivers every Friday night.
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.

SummerSlam 2025: A10-Hour Marathon Could Break Wrestling Fans (And Why Jelly Roll Proves WWE Has Lost Its Mind)
SummerSlam 2025 is shaping up to be WWE’s most ambitious and potentially exhausting event in company history, with Wrestling Uncensored hosts predicting an unprecedented 8-10 hour marathon across two nights. While Night One promises traditional wrestling with dream matches like Gunther vs CM Punk, Night Two transforms into a gimmick-heavy spectacle featuring John Cena’s potential farewell in a Street Fight against Cody Rhodes. But the real controversy? Jelly Roll’s cringe-worthy wrestling debut on SmackDown has fans questioning whether WWE’s celebrity obsession has gone too far.
