BasementJer & the Rizzest Baldest Man break down WWE RAW: why the Rhea Ripley/IYO SKY opener didn’t land, the Roman–Jey Bloodline reset, Seth Rollins’ shaky “Vision,” and the direction of John Cena’s farewell run (AJ, Brock, GUNTHER?). Plus: TNA x NXT “Showdown,” women’s division notes, and live-event pricing rants. ► X: @BasementJer @RichTheRiz • Business: Basementbookers@gmail.com

BasementJer and RichTheRiz break down Wrestlepalooza 2025—the highs, lows, and the “very mid” moments. We open with overall impressions, then dive into John Cena vs Brock Lesnar (short and undercooked), the Usos vs The 2 Brons with LA Knight as special ref, Stephanie Vaquer vs IYO SKY (best pure wrestling on the card), the mixed tag (Seth Rollins & Becky vs AJ Lee & CM Punk), and the main event: Cody Rhodes vs Drew McIntyre (good match, weird ref call). We also hit NXT fallout (new champ, title retentions) and the teased AJ Styles vs John Cena direction.

👊 Grades: Jer (6/10), Riz (4/10).
