With AEW being rescheduled for Saturday the boys had a little extra time to dive into the go-home Raw and NXT episodeds and talk about what is and isn't sticking to the wall as well as what has them apathetic, intrigued, or excited about Summerslam weekend.
Summerslam is shaping up and the Wednesday Night Wars are still raging but what's MORE important in our XFL Team Name Contest! Jake and Scott and are hearing all of the submissions and picking a winner. Also talking about AEW's "Tag Team Appreciation Night," NXT's dabbling in the dark arts, Smackdown getting some Retribution and Raw being held up by Randy Orton like Hercules hanging on to columns.

Cody's TNT Title and Jon Moxley's AEW Title were both on the line and not to be outdone - NXT had an impromptu double title match in which the Champ himself, Keith Lee made the challenge.

They contemplate wrestling fandom, separating art from artists, WWE's Positive COVID-19 cases, and the worth of it all as the pandemic continues to get worse across the country, and Florida, where the two major companies tape, is seeing the most new daily cases since the start. They DO also talk a little about the week in Kayfabe as AEW and NXT both plan a two leek long "special event" and main roster WWE continues to hit and miss.
The WWE PPV that touted the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever happened this weekend and as usual when WWE bites off more than they can chew, there's some Backlash!

Over on NXT the round robin style tourny to crown the interim Cruiserweight Champion takes a strange turn when it becomes the story of Drake Maverick being released from the company - did his tearful response to "bloody Wednesday" and the outcry of support that followed help position him for a title?
