WWE gave us one of its most frustrating Premium Live Events of the year, and The Heel Federation isn't holding back.

Will, Erik and Danny break down what went wrong at Money in the Bank, including the baffling match order, Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight, Tiffany Stratton's controversial victory, Penta's big moment, and the disastrous spots in the men's ladder match.

Then it's TNA Bound for Glory. Did TNA deliver the better show, despite questionable booking and technical problems? The guys debate Frankie Kazarian's Call Your Shot victory, Leon Slater's title win, and Max Caster's sudden departure following his controversial entrance rap.

Plus:

• Roman Reigns fires back at Conrad Thompson
• Carmelo Hayes joins 9-4-6
• Erik shares his experience attending MLW
• The guys debate whether wrestling finishers mean anything anymore
• WWE's handling of Big Cass comes under fire
• Childhood wrestling stories get completely out of hand
• AEW, New Japan, Chad Gable and Rey Fenix

We're wrestling fans who still love the business, still want it to be good, and aren't afraid to call it out when it isn't.

Is it finally time for Roman Reigns to lose the World Heavyweight Championship?

This week on The Heel Federation, Will and Danny break down Conrad Thompson's controversial comments about Roman Reigns, debate whether WWE should pull the trigger on LA Knight, and deliver their predictions for Money in the Bank and TNA Bound for Glory.

Plus, AEW Grand Slam France delivers a standout night of wrestling, Will makes his case for Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay, and the guys try to understand one of the most ridiculous wrestling spectacles of the year: TNA's Dude Wipes match.

We also discuss whether Oba Femi is being booked into a corner, Penta's championship potential, MJF heading to New Japan, and John Cena's latest Hollywood adventure.

It's wrestling conversation without the tribalism — plenty of praise, plenty of criticism, and more than a few laughs.

The Heel Federation opens on a somber note this week as Will, Erik and Danny remember PAC following his shocking passing, reflect on his career from NXT and WWE to AEW, and discuss AEW’s emotional tribute show.

The conversation also turns to the ugly side of wrestling fandom and why using injuries and tragedy as ammunition in the WWE vs. AEW tribalism war has gotten completely out of hand.

Then the guys finally get into AEW All Out. Was the show actually good? Did another pay-per-view come too soon after All In? Why did the main event fall flat? And who deserves responsibility for the scary Steve Borden spot?

Plus:

• CM Punk brings back “This Fire Burns”
• Randy Orton shows why great promos don’t need constant yelling
• Our favorite supernatural wrestling gimmicks
• WWE’s renewed focus on its Mexican stars
• Is WWE already fumbling Big Cass?
• Should Enzo Amore return?
• TNA’s troubling ticket-sales situation
• Was Cruz Montana’s emotional NXT promo used too soon?

It’s another packed episode of The Heel Federation!
