Welcome to Episode 33 of Rebels by Design Wrestling! In this episode of the podcast, we ask a fascinating question: Can the major wrestling storylines of the past still be done successfully in 2026? Professional wrestling has changed dramatically over the years, but could the legendary storylines, rivalries, characters, and angles that made wrestling history still work with today's wrestling fans?

We look back at some of the most memorable WWE, WCW, and professional wrestling storylines from the past and discuss whether they could be recreated or adapted for today's wrestling audience. From shocking betrayals and bitter rivalries to controversial angles, championship stories, faction wars, and long-term wrestling storytelling, we examine what made these moments so successful.

Could classic wrestling storytelling work in WWE, AEW, TNA, or modern independent wrestling? Has social media changed the way wrestling storylines are created and received? And what would it take to make a major wrestling storyline truly unpredictable in 2026?
