Ringside Renaissance was LIVE in Ottawa, Canada for WWE Raw and the special pre-taping of Friday Night SmackDown — and we’re breaking down everything we witnessed inside the arena!

Kombat Jones and Very Deadly Jesse discuss CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens and KO’s emotional return, the Undisputed Championship picture, and who could be next for CM Punk.

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: This episode contains major spoilers for Friday Night SmackDown before it airs!

We break down the heated confrontation between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, plus major SmackDown developments involving Kevin Owens, Gunther, Finn Bálor and Sami Zayn.

Solo Sikoa continues getting over with his new persona alongside LA Knight — PEW PEW... YEAH! — while Rey Fénix and Dragon Lee deliver one of the standout matches of the night.

Plus, we discuss Bron Breakker and Oba Femi’s explosive contract signing, Je’Von Evans and Big Cass, Penta, Tatum Paxley’s debut, Chelsea Green in Canada, Stephanie Vaquer, Roxanne Perez, Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, Royce Keys and OTM, possible Bloodline developments, future Money in the Bank scenarios and much more.
