Summary
- AEW Grand Slam line-up thoughts with extended opening discussion on strengths and weaknesses of the Toni Storm-Mariah May story
- A look at Jey Uso's Royal Rumble win and fallout, crowd reactions, is WWE pushing it with time dedicated to his entrances on TV, is Michael Cole at risk of ruining Jey (or his dignity and credibility), could Gunther-Jey headline night two, and does Jey have to win.
- More on Grand Slam's undercard with a lengthy discussion on Will Ospreay & Kenny Omega vs. Don Callis Family.
- WrestleMania's line-up options, including whether Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena will feel worthy of headlining night 2 if WWE goes that direction, and then what for Roman Reigns, C.M. Punk, and Seth Rollins?
- Who should Charlotte choose to face, and what happens in the other women's title match?
