The annual negotiations are back! Sorg hosts Brianna & Bradley Summit 2 as Patreon Manager Bradley sits down with pro wrestler Brianna Bandz to determine whether their long-running feud can finally be resolved.

Brianna discusses the personal challenges that led her to step back from some wrestling appearances, finding a new outlook, expanding her wrestling career, the power of social media and the emotional Fight for Pride match with Nikki Winters that showed her what representation can mean to an audience.

Meanwhile, Bradley arrives with a full slate of declarations covering wrestling fans, his raffle winnings, wrestling grievances and the nerve-wracking experience of performing during the Wrestling Mayhem Show’s 20th anniversary celebration.

After all the insults, shin attacks and arguments, the Summit ends with the revelation nobody expected: Brianna and Bradley might actually be friends.
