Mad Mike gives his live perspective after WWE Raw in Chicago, including CM Punk’s title win, the Chicago crowd, and why Sami Zayn’s short championship reign still has everyone fired up. The crew debates whether Sami got screwed, whether WWE ever truly backed him as champion, and what the lack of Sami merchandise says about the company’s priorities.

The show also covers AEW Beach Break, Kenny Omega vs. MJF, the Casino Gauntlet, AAA’s WWE/TKO era, Damian Priest entering AAA, Vikingo’s injury, El Grande Americano’s massive popularity in Mexico, and whether AAA should stay one hour.

Plus: Sorgstock returns, Enjoy Wrestling and AIW Absolution previews, Top Rope Tabletop, 880 Wrestling, VCW, and a heartfelt “What We Learned” about wrestling fandom, real-life connection, ALS awareness, and stepping outside your comfort zone as a fan.

The newly crowned champs explain “Fraternity Rules,” the T-Pop Drop, Mickey Morris’ role in the championship picture, and what is next for DOJ at 880 Wrestling’s No Ceilings 2. The crew also talks AEW Forbidden Door, MyAEW, WWE Night of Champions, NXT Great American Bash on The CW, AAA’s Los Perros del Mal reveal, TNA shakeups, and the Pittsburgh wrestling scene.
