WWE Survivor Series 2025 War Games Preview: Brock Lesnar’s Challenge
WWE Survivor Series 2025 War Games takes over Petco Park in San Diego with an outdoor setup that hasn’t been attempted in over two decades. Dave Simon and Johnny North broke down the entire four-match card on Wrestling Uncensored, and they’re not exactly sold on the value proposition for fans who paid hundreds of dollars to attend.
The centerpiece is Brock Lesnar in War Games – a format that doesn’t suit his typical in-and-out style. The babyface team of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Jey Uso faces Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair leads the women’s War Games match after earning the advantage on SmackDown.
The hosts also discussed AEW’s Samoa Joe becoming the new World Champion and the state of professional wrestling heading into the final weeks of 2025.
Finnish Action Masterpiece: Johnny North Reviews Sisu – Road to Revenge
Sisu: Road to Revenge on Netflix is “one of the best movies I’ve seen this year,” according to Wrestling Uncensored’s Johnny North. The Finnish action sequel features a unique approach: a protagonist who never speaks throughout the film’s runtime.
Set in 1946 Soviet-occupied Finland, the movie follows legendary commando Aatami Korpi seeking revenge against the Red Army officer who killed his family. Starring Jorma Tommila and Stephen Lang with an €11 million budget, director Jalmari Helander delivers what Johnny calls superior to The Expendables franchise.
“It’s just boom, action, next action scene, next action scene,” Johnny describes. “I just love how it was kind of cold at times and it felt kind of gritty. Simple movie, but it works.”
Strong violence warning: Johnny repeatedly emphasized this film is not appropriate for children due to extreme graphic content throughout.

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.
Why WWE’s Product is Still More Compelling Than AEW’s Chaos in 2025

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.
