Pop ’n Heat is back for episode 40 and we’re kicking off the new year the only way we know how—by diving headfirst into the chaos of WWE. We break down SmackDown from January 2 and Raw from January 5, react to Randy Orton’s feel-good return, and gush over the beautiful chaos of Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley proving that love really does conquer all. We debate whether Cody Rhodes is inching closer to a full-blown heel turn, mourn (once again) our sad little hero Chelsea Green losing her title, and crown our Top of The Pop and Hottest of The Heat for the week. Plus, we run through updates on potential superstar returns and all the moments that had us yelling at our TVs.

New year, same Pop ’n Heat energy.

It’s a post-Christmas clean-up on Pop ’n Heat as we break down the holiday editions of WWE Raw and SmackDown—and somehow things got even more unhinged than usual.

This week we’re talking:

Joe Hendry’s absolutely ridiculous backup dancers (because of course that happened), the new United States Champion and what it means going forward, the ongoing Austin Theory “Theory” (yes, it keeps evolving), Bianca Belair and whether a major return could be on the horizon, Chris Jericho rumors and why a WWE comeback might not be as crazy as it sounds, and so much more!From festive chaos to serious speculation,

Episode 38 has laughs, hot takes, and just enough wrestling logic to keep things spicy.

Grab the leftovers, hit play, and let’s pop off some heat. 🔔🔥
