We break down a SmackDown that set the table, a Royal Rumble that elevated new names, and a Raw that hit gas with Braun, Gunther, Oba Femi, and a Punk–Roman promo that sold WrestleMania with one spiteful choice. AEW’s “cinema” gets a reality check as we argue for story that makes sense.
• SmackDown’s four-way claim stakes and eight-man setup
• Carmelo Hayes’ Open Challenge vs Rey Fenix
• Axiom outsmarts Gargano to reclaim the mask
• AJ Styles’ showcase and Gunther’s rise
• Women’s Rumble standouts and Liv Morgan’s win
• Men’s Rumble shocks, Oba Femi’s star turn, mystery mask
• Raw’s Braun Breaker meltdown and Gunther’s troll
• Oba Femi ragdolls War Raiders to build aura
• Philly street fight: Stephanie Vacare retains
• CM Punk vs Roman Reigns promo stakes and hate-as-hook
• Why surprise is seasoning and story is the meal
• Notes from the clown show: what breaks immersion
