Summary
With the milk of marknesia flowing and feel spots getting activated left and right this week, Brian Campbell and Adam Silverstein wasted no time breaking down everything that went down this week in WWE. The Main Event begins with the amazing announcement from Roman Reigns that his leukemia is in remission. Was WWE right to delay this announcement for Raw, and what should the company do with Reigns at WrestleMania 35? The guys then discuss Batista's surprise return and attack on Ric Flair before weighing in about Vince McMahon's decision to replace Kofi Kingston with Kevin Owens for a match at Fastlane. How will this developments impact the 'Mania card? In Hero or Zero, BC and The Silver King debate the continuing angle with Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair; Matt Hardy coming back to tag with his brother Jeff; why WWE is having The Revival lose so often; the Johnny Gargano-Velveteen Dream match from NXT and the return of Bruce Pritchard to the creative team. All of that and much more in a loaded episode of SoC.
