  • A WWE Wrestlepalooza of Inferior Improv and Match Match Match

    A WWE Wrestlepalooza of Inferior Improv and Match Match Match
    2025/09/18

    We look into the intersection of corporate influence and creative execution within WWE's programming. The "Match Match Match" podcast trope is used to critique what is described as "inferior improv" and "corporate suffocation of creative," leading to generic and uninspired storylines. This is exemplified by a "tedious" go-home promo for a mixed-tag team match involving CM Punk & AJ Lee against Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch.

    Meanwhile, this creative direction coincides with a significant new partnership between WWE and ESPN. A media call with ESPN executives Matt Kenny and JT Lasker took place ahead of the Wrestlepalooza Premium Live Event, which will be the first WWE event to stream exclusively on the ESPN app.

    The executives expressed excitement about the deal and, according to multiple news outlets, are open to adding more WWE Premium Live Events to their schedule in the future. The new partnership aims to integrate WWE further into mainstream sports coverage.

    WWE Wrestlepalooza marks a new era as the first Premium Live Event to stream on ESPN. Taking place at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, the card features several high-profile matches with major storylines.

    The main event features a long-awaited mixed tag team match as two of wrestling's most iconic couples collide: Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch taking on CM Punk and the returning AJ Lee. The rivalry between Rollins and Punk has been simmering for months, and with the surprising return of AJ Lee, this mixed tag team match is poised to be an all-out battle.

    Another major bout on the card is the highly anticipated showdown between John Cena and Brock Lesnar. This is billed as one of the final matches on Cena's retirement tour, and the feud was ignited when Lesnar made a shocking return to attack Cena after his loss to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.

    The Undisputed WWE Championship will also be on the line as Cody Rhodes defends his title against Drew McIntyre, who has been a thorn in the champion's side. Additionally, a new Women's World Champion will be crowned when Iyo Sky battles Stephanie Vaquer for the vacant title, which was recently relinquished by Naomi.

    AEW All Out 2025 will be held at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and features a card filled with intense rivalries and high-stakes championship matches. "Hangman" Adam Page will defend the AEW World Championship against Kyle Fletcher in a highly anticipated main event. The AEW Women's World Championship will be contested in a four-way match as "Timeless" Toni Storm puts her title on the line against Jamie Hayter, Kris Statlander, and Thekla.

    Other notable matches on the card include a Coffin Match between Jon Moxley and Darby Allin, a feud that has been brewing for nearly a year. The AEW TBS Championship will also be on the line when Mercedes Moné defends her title against Riho.

    In a tag team grudge match, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage will reunite in their hometown to face off against FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Also confirmed for the event is a singles match between MJF and Mark Briscoe, adding another layer of drama to a stacked card.

  • TKO's Global Power Play Puts WWE Toxic Fandom Into Tailspin

    TKO's Global Power Play Puts WWE Toxic Fandom Into Tailspin
    2025/09/15
    WWE made a controversial announcement that WrestleMania 43 in 2027 will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This marks the first time WWE's flagship event will be hosted outside of North America, and it's a decision that has sent shockwaves through the fan base.
    The move, which is reportedly part of a massive new deal that includes the 2027 Royal Rumble and at least one other major event in the same year, is a clear signal of TKO Group Holdings' focus on maximizing global revenue, with reports suggesting these events could earn the company upwards of $50 million each night.
    The outrage is palpable, with many fans feeling that WWE is "selling out" and prioritizing huge sums of money from foreign governments over the traditional fan base that has supported the company for decades. This sentiment is amplified by comments from TKO COO Mark Shapiro at the recent Communacopia tech conference, where he spoke candidly about a new strategy to maximize "ticket yield" and raise prices, further alienating fans who feel they are being priced out of attending live events.

    Compounding the corporate-driven controversies are recent creative and talent-related developments that have left a bitter taste in fans' mouths. The Friday night AAA Worlds Collide event, a crossover show with WWE, saw the promotion's top prizes go to two of WWE's most polarizing figures: Dominik Mysterio and Natalya.
    This mirrored the recent success of Trick Williams and Jacy Jayne in the promotion, leading to frustration from a fan base that feels a handful of "chosen" stars are being force-fed to them.
    Finally, the recent and sudden release of Andrade has added fuel to the fire. The talented star's departure has left many fans fuming, especially given his recent return to the company and his lack of television time.
    This move, combined with Triple H's own recent comments about the "internet following" not being "real life," has created a deep chasm between the company's leadership and its most vocal supporters.
    The collective frustration over the WrestleMania announcement, the rising ticket costs, the perceived favoritism in inter-promotional partnerships, and the perplexing talent release of Andrade, has created an environment where fans feel unheard and unvalued in the TKO era of WWE.

  • Triple H: Master Manipulator or AJ Lee: Agent of Fandom Healing (ep. 958)

    Triple H: Master Manipulator or AJ Lee: Agent of Fandom Healing (ep. 958)
    2025/09/11
    In the face of historically low wrestling ratings and a strategic gamble with Raw's start time, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H is being cast as a master manipulator, deftly using the "juvenile delusional fandom" as putty in his hands.
    Rather than a genuine philosophical shift toward transparency, his public defense of the WWE: Unreal docuseries is portrayed as a calculated mind trick.
    He cleverly called out the hypocrisy of podcasters and online critics who consume backstage gossip, while simultaneously giving them exactly what they crave: the illusion of having the curtain pulled back. By providing a sanctioned glimpse into the business, he both validates their obsessive interest and maintains control over the narrative, making them feel special and "in the know" without actually relinquishing any real power.
    This sophisticated form of fan manipulation is further evidenced by the highly marketable WRESTLEPALOOZA 2025 card. The event is a perfect example of molding fan desires into reality, featuring a dream match that pits Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch against CM Punk and the returning AJ Lee.
    The return of AJ Lee is framed as a key part of this grand deception, with her prancing around as their agent of healing. Her powerful and emotional quote about her mental health journey and turning "mental chaos into my superpower" is seen not as a genuine moment of vulnerability, but as a carefully curated narrative deployed to garner positive press and connect with a specific, emotionally invested segment of the fanbase.
    Her comeback provides the perfect feel-good story to distract from broader business challenges, proving that Triple H's genius lies not in his creative vision, but in his ability to give the fans the specific kind of "authenticity" they believe they want.
