WrestleMania is less than 2 weeks away and Episode 175 is your guide to all the big developments that took place in WWE last week. Plus, our friends over at Another Wrestling Podcast make their long awaited return to the show.
We begin by reviewing the March 13 Episode of Monday Night Raw. Paul Heyman and Brock Lesanr apparently felt that one F5 hs turned the tides of their battle with the Universal Champion, Goldberg, in their favor. Stephanie McMahon told Mick Foley he had to fire someone by the end of the night. The twists and turns of that saga would be a focal point for this Episode of Raw and what wild conclusion did we see at the end of the night that will likely reshape the landscape of Raw for the foreseeable future? Dana Brooke finally broke away from Charlotte while Nia Jax tried to just break the Raw Women’s Champion, Bayley. Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe took on Chris Jericho and Sami Zayn while Enzo and Cass went up against Cesaro and Sheamus to determine who will meet Gallows & Anderson at WrestleMania for the Raw Tag Titles. Roman Reigns took on Jinder Mahal but got a surprise visit from a Hall of Famer with advice for his WrestleMania showdown with The Undertaker. We have all the details for you from a hugely important installment of Raw right here for you on Episode 175.
We then move on to Smackdown Live as things reached a breaking point between AJ Styles and Shane McMahon. It ended with AJ being fired after slamming Shane through a car window. What does this mean going forward? We give you our thoughts on Episode 175. Meanwhile, the fantastic war of words between John Cena, Nikki Bella, The Miz and Maryse continued with the end result being the confirmation of the mixed Tag match between the four at WrestleMania 33. Mickie James took on Smackdown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, American Alpha battled The Usos and Randy Orton discovered that Bray Wyatt might not be so powerless after all. What foreboding message did the WWE Champion have for The Viper as they head towards their clash at WrestleMania? We let you know here on Episode 175.
From there we look at 205 Live which featured a hige Fatal Five Way Elimination match to determine who would face Neville at WrestleMania for the Cruiserweight Championship. Austin Aries, TJ Perkins, Tony Neese, Akira Tozawa, and Brian Kendrick did battle to see who would get the next chance to dethrone the King of the Cruiserweights. Who prevailed? We let you know on Episode 175.
It is then on to NXT as we learned who the Authors of Pain will defend the NXT Tag Titles against at Takeover: Orlando. In the Main Event, Kassius Ohno met Bobby Roode for the NXT Championship. It was Ohno’s long awaited return to NXT Television. Did the artist formerly known as Chris Hero topple The Glorious One and capture the NXT Championship? We let you know on Episode 175.
We then close things out by welcoming back to the show (or in the case of Angry Kuter, welcoming him in general) the guys from Another Wrestling Podcast (AWP). One of the most successful wrestling podcasts out there, Steve Credo and Angry Kuter let us know what is new with AWP and talk to us about the current product, WrestleMania and much more. It is a fun and informative meeting of the minds that fans of both shows…and fans of comedy in general…will really enjoy and you can check it out right here on Episode 175.
