On this week’s Abdominal Stretch… we’re BACK, babies.

After three long weeks off, the boys are back in town and stretching it out properly.

We’re diving headfirst into our Elimination Chamber predictions — who survives, who gets exposed, and who’s headed to WrestleMania season with momentum.

We’re breaking down the last three weeks in Pro Wrestling — the hits, the chaos, the questionable decisions, and what actually matters.

And yes… this one’s a Nathan Haskill heavy show. Whether that’s a promise or a warning? You decide.

Strap in. Loosen up.
It’s time to stretch. 💪🔥

This week, we’re grabbing the ropes and leaning back into the chaos of the Royal Rumble.

We break down the surprise entrants, the performances, the eliminations, the “why did they book it like that?” moments, and the crowd.

Who got elevated, who got exposed, and which returns actually mattered?

Stretch it out—because the road to WrestleMania officially started, and our abs are feeling it. 💪📺

Big matches. Bigger egos. Absolutely no days off.
TNA Wrestling debuts on AMC
Wrestling on the same network as prestige TV. Suddenly, someone’s aunt is accidentally watching a piledriver.

A banger so violent it felt like it should’ve come with a warning label and a wine pairing.

That’s The Abdominal Stretch—MLK Day edition.

New year. Same hot takes.

The first Abdominal Stretch of the year asks the real questions:

Did RAW live up to the hype?

Is this the year MJF takes over?

And what happens when Cody and Drew enter Three Stages of Hell?

Let’s stretch.

🎙️ This Week on The Abdominal Stretch

The wrestling world chose violence this week — and we’re here to stretch it until it hurts.

From John Cena’s final match and the emotional whiplash that followed, to a week of absolute chaos across RAW, SmackDown, and AEW, nothing is off the table. Legends took their bows, storylines swerved hard left, and the discourse online somehow got even louder than the crowd reactions.

We break down:

• The significance (and fallout) of Cena’s last ride
• What really went down on RAW and why it matters moving forward
• SmackDown twists that flipped the power dynamics overnight
• AEW continuing to embrace beautiful, unhinged chaos
• And the moments that had us yelling “WHO BOOKED THIS?!” (affectionately… mostly)

Plus — Nathan Haskill is BACK, and with him comes the spiciest takes, the loosest morals, and zero respect for your favorite wrestler’s feelings.

If you like your pro wrestling analysis loud, passionate, and slightly unhinged…
