Summary

Get ready for a quick hitting, last topic standing battle of badass sports and pop culture takes. Sports heavyweights Michelle Beadle and Peter Rosenberg pit the biggest, wildest, and most hyped sports and pop culture stories against each other in a topical “Royal Rumble” that will determine who or what is the biggest story on Planet Earth this week. Each round, two newsworthy stories are thrown into the ring and Beadle and Rosenberg will debate which one should stay and which should be thrown over the top rope. They’ll spend the next 90 seconds sounding off on the remaining story, but hang on...when the buzzer sounds, a new story enters the ring and they’ll do the whole thing all over again! One story stays and one is eliminated. The battle continues until one final story is left standing. Wondery’s new show is a fast-paced and gutsy blitz through the week where no topic is off limits, but only one doesn’t get thrown OVER THE TOP!
