It’s been a while.
In this episode, we check in on where we’re at as wrestling fans in late 2025: what still works, what doesn’t, and why the way we engage has changed.
John Cena’s farewell at Saturday Night’s Main Event becomes the starting point: a look at legacy, development, and what it means to leave the business on your own terms. We talk Cena’s final match and the moments around it, WWE’s evolving developmental system and its shift toward “home-grown” talent, and how those changes shape the product fans see today.
From there, we zoom out — discussing the personal lines fans draw with WWE, and why other forms of wrestling may feel more inviting right now, including AEW’s compelling main-event picture reset and the intimate energy of the indie scene.
This isn’t a recap, and it’s not a rant. It’s a conversation about wrestling, fandom, and choosing what still feels meaningful.
