WrestleMania 42 Card Update: Why Sami Zayn Has a Match and Gunther Still Doesn’t
Friday’s SmackDown delivered a major WrestleMania 42 card update with Sami Zayn capturing the US Title and getting booked against Trick Williams, plus Jacob Fatu vs Drew McIntyre going unsanctioned. But the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther still doesn’t have a match with three weeks to go.
WrestleMania 42 Card Takes Shape as Randy Orton Bloodies Cody Rhodes
Randy Orton sat across from Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania 42 contract signing, told him everything he wanted to hear, and then kicked him in the groin, smashed his head between a steel chair and the ring steps, and left him bleeding while holding the WWE Championship. That is how you build a WrestleMania main event. Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North watched it unfold live, simultaneously booking out the full 13-match card across two nights. They also previewed every match on the AEW Revolution card, splitting on the main event — Dave picks Hangman Page, Johnny picks MJF in the Texas Death Match. Plus: Seth Rollins’ masked army gets torched, Danhausen’s curse works, and Team Canada falls to the USA in the WBC quarterfinals.
WWE Elimination Chamber 2026: Nobody in the Writers’ Room Noticed They Ran the Same Promo Twice
One week before WWE Elimination Chamber 2026, the company’s creative team proved nobody reads each other’s scripts — running an identical promo twice in the same broadcast. Je’Von Evans shocked Gunther to qualify for the chamber. Kiana James did something even harder, pinning both Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax in a triple threat. AEW, by contrast, delivered a 5-star Kenny Omega vs Swerve Strickland match and is heading into Revolution 2026 with genuine stakes on the line.
Why WWE’s WrestleMania 42 Card Exposes a Roster Depth Crisis
Roman Reigns delivered a masterclass promo choosing CM Punk for WrestleMania 42’s night two main event, referencing the Colt Cabana podcast that made his life hell for years. It was real, it was personal, and it was the best segment in wrestling this year. But beyond that blockbuster, WWE has a glaring problem: what closes night one? Cody Rhodes vs Drew McIntyre again is borderline unwatchable without adding Jacob Fatu. The women’s tag division — anchored by Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY — might be the strongest it’s ever been, but can it headline? Meanwhile, Sami Zayn’s world title window is closing fast, Chelsea Green’s babyface turn is being engineered through WWE’s Unreal show, and AEW Dynamite delivered back-to-back shock finishes with Brody King squashing MJF while a Las Vegas crowd chanted political slogans.

Triple H’s “Doofus” Week and Our Unfiltered SummerSlam 2025 Predictions
“Allegations are allegations,” Dave quoted Triple H’s controversial statement about the McMahon situation. “What? It’s a complicated relationship for anybody in life.”
The criticism extended to WWE’s “Unreal” documentary series, which Dave described as “obvious they’re trying to make him into this TV star.” Johnny North agreed, noting the show’s focus on making Triple H appear as “this creative genius.”
“I saw somebody say that this is like to make Triple H look like the Dana White of the WWE,” Dave explained. “They’re really just making Triple H into this cool guy who is this creative genius. And after seeing that, I’m like, yeah, they just sit in a room with like five guys. So what do you think? Goddamn Doc Hendrix on a TV screen going, ‘well, hell, I think maybe Jey Uso.'”

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. From botched spots breaking noses to country singers delivering “the worst forearms maybe ever,” this weekend’s biggest party of the summer might test even the most dedicated wrestling fan’s endurance.
