WWE cultural awareness is under the microscope after Trick Williams’ “Lemon Pepper Steppers” shirt was pulled from WWE Shop. We break down why the merch controversy has sparked questions about whether WWE needs more culturally informed voices involved in its creative and product decisions.

The conversation also tackles WWE vs. AEW in Chicago, as WWE held its AAA Premium Live Event at Allstate Arena in Rosemont while AEW All Out took place in nearby Hoffman Estates. Does scheduling major pro wrestling events in the same market keep fan tribalism alive?

Plus, we review Trick Williams defeating Baron Corbin in a cage to win the U.S. Title, rank the current Money in the Bank qualifiers, and debate whether CM Punk belongs in the Men’s Money in the Bank match. The women’s field is taking shape too, with Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne, Roxanne Perez, and Lash Legend already in the mix.

Finally: Do we really need Nikki Bella vs. Chelsea Green for the WWE Women’s Championship? Drop your take in the comments—and subscribe for sharp WWE, AEW, and pro wrestling conversations.

Scott previews the Bears big Monday Night Football matchup against the 2-0 Philadephia Eagles. Can Jalen Hurts and Co get some revenge for last seasons Black Friday loss or will Case Keenum lead the Bears to 2-1 while Caleb Williams is out?

First Black Champ makes its WWE Money in the Bank 2026 predictions as Roman Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight in New Orleans. We also break down the stacked Men’s and Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, including CM Punk, Kevin Owens, Bron Breakker, Trick Williams, Penta, Je’Von Evans, Tiffany Stratton, Roxanne Perez, Lash Legend, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, and Jacy Jayne.

Can Oba Femi stop Bronson Reed? Who should challenge Stephanie Vaquer after Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan battle for the No. 1 contender spot? And who leaves Money in the Bank holding the briefcase?

#theFBCPod is claiming October as Black Wrestling Month on First Black Champ. In part one of our series, we discuss Black representation in pro wrestling, the first Black wrestler we remember, our first favorite Black wrestlers, and the impact of trailblazing teams like Doom and Harlem Heat. Did representation matter to you as a kid—or did characters and charisma matter more?
