This is Slam & Spill, where we go beyond the headlines and into the heart of what’s really happening in wrestling — with passion, precision, and a little Pinot.

Lo is diving into WWE’s decision to cut post show press conferences, what this could mean for the future of media surrounding WWE and how fans are processing a comeback no one saw coming.

🍷 The Wine is Poured and the Takes Are Flowing! On this episode, we are joined by content creator and FemmeSlam's Clarissa Hardy and we’re diving deep into the long-awaited return of WWE Evolution...seven years in the making!

We’re unpacking how WWE reintroduced Evolution 2 and whether it lives up to the legacy of the inaugural event. Does it feel like a historic comeback or just an afterthought in a packed wrestling calendar? We’re comparing the rollout to the original event and sharing our unfiltered thoughts on the matches announced so far, the legends (or lack thereof), and who’s missing that should’ve been part of this moment.

With AEW’s All In happening the same weekend in Texas, Beyoncé shutting down Atlanta, and MLB All-Star Weekend in full swing, fans are spread thin. Was WWE’s timing intentional, or just a miscalculation? We explore how this crowded weekend highlights WWE’s ongoing issue with giving the women’s division the attention it deserves.

To close things out, we’re bringing you “The Last Sip," our listener segment where your voices take center stage. We asked the Winedown community how they’re feeling about Evolution 2:
🍷 Is the excitement still there seven years later?
🍷 What’s hitting, what’s missing, and what could be done better?
From cautious optimism to full-blown critiques, we’re pouring out your thoughts and reactions as we count down to this long-awaited event.

Grab your glass, and let’s uncork Evolution 2!

Pop the cork and pour a glass — the break is over and the pour is back! 🍷 After five months off the mic, Lo is back and better than ever. On this episode, we're joined by Rozie The Ref, a boat engineer by day and a pro wrestling referee by night. We get into Rozie's love of professional wrestling and what led her into donning the stripes and calling the action, her career outside of wrestling and if she sees any similarities when working in another male-dominated field: engineering. Plus, we chat about some of Rozie's proudest moments thus far as a referee, the progression of female referees in wrestling and of course, manifest for the future!
