Hello and welcome to the What Culture Wrestling podcast. I'm Michael Amfoot from What Culture and I am once again alone in the studio for the last time in 2025 as we conclude our little trifecta of Christmas wrap-ups here at What Culture Wrestling. Thank you very much if you've joined us for the last couple of these. If this is your first one today, by all means, have a check back at Mondays where we reviewed Smackdown, previewed this week's Smackdown to come, as well as previewed Raw. Tuesdays where we reviewed Monday Night Row and previewed NXTs. And now welcome to today's where we're going to have a little bit of a chat about what happened on last night's NXT as well as previewing what's going to take place on the dynamite to air tonight,

Christmas Eve, the collision to air tomorrow on Christmas Day,

and then with a nice even cutoff, I thought this was the best way to do it,

preview World's End, which will, of course, include spoilers for certain things that have gone down

on these dynamite and

collision tapings because they have already taken place.

I have to be honest, I'm not aware of the full extent of the spoilers, but in obviously

preview in the world's end card, there will be spoilers of, you know, pretty major results.

So here's the kind of the first warning that towards the end of this podcast, I'll give you

another one once we've kind of had a chat over what's going to come ahead on the

dynamite and collision cards, but I will put one last spoiler warning there when I'm about to go

into worlds and territory. If you would like to watch all your festive AEW this week,

completely unspoiled. It's a sort of strange, obviously, week with obviously

all of the wrestling taking place over the festive period and wrestlers being off at home

with their families and leading into a pay-per-view. It's kind of a less than ideal situation for

AEW, but we thought like, you know, it'd be nice to just at least have a little bit of a get across the coverage a little bit wherever possible.

Hence why I'm putling around in the studio doing this today.

Thank you very much as well.

Some of the nice messages I've received of doing these podcasts this week and the news in particular.

Railing back against the people who don't realize that I don't know how to do timestamps or good

editing in those videos. It's been a fun week actually. I've quite enjoyed it. I don't mind

the quiet. Those that have listened long enough will know that I don't love Christmas.
