Summary
On this week’s episode of The Two Count, we break down one of the wildest weeks across WWE, AEW, and combat sports, including major tournament announcements, Brock Lesnar rumors, Roman Reigns’ next battle, and the growing crossover between streaming, MMA, and professional wrestling.
We start with the reveal of the AEW Men’s and Women’s Owen Hart Tournament brackets, and discuss which names stand out, who should win, and whether this years tournament feels big enough
We also react to the growing rumors surrounding Baron Corbin’s WWE return, tied to Danhausen’s latest bizarre “experiment” storyline. Is WWE actually setting up a Corbin comeback, or is this another case of fans reading too much into cryptic teases?
On the MMA side, we break down the controversial Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano fight, which ended in just 17 seconds and immediately sparked online accusations that the fight may have been fixed.
Adding even more intrigue, Mark Shapiro reportedly revealed that TKO turned down Rousey vs Carano, raising major questions about the company’s future involvement in crossover combat sports events.
We also discuss the launch and overall presentation of MVP MMA, including the production strengths, weaknesses, and the shocking announcement teasing the return of Conor McGregor.
Could Netflix’s growing involvement with MVP MMA create complications for its relationship with WWE moving forward? We break down the business side of the streaming wars and what it could mean for the future of combat sports programming.
Plus, Jake Paul claims WWE won’t allow him to appear alongside Logan Paul on WWE television, despite fan interest in the crossover. Is WWE missing a major mainstream opportunity?
We also discuss the official announcement of Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat, and whether WWE is positioning Fatu as the next dominant force of the Bloodline era.
And finally, the wrestling world was shaken by the shocking return of Brock Lesnar. Why is Brock back, what does it mean for WWE’s direction, and who could be next in line for “The Beast”?
