🎙️ "Does Jacob Fatu Need to Beat Roman Reigns?"

Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 67 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue are just days away from Clash in Italy, and while the card looks loaded, the bigger question is what happens after the show. Some careers could change. Some stories could evolve. And one rising star may be ready for championship gold. Show Notes • Jacob Fatu vs. Roman Reigns: Does Jacob Need This Win? The Bloodline story continues, but the stakes feel different now. Does Jacob Fatu need a victory over Roman Reigns to maintain his momentum? Or has he already established himself enough that a loss won't hurt him? Ryan and Dom break down the match, the future of the Bloodline, and where this saga could go next. • King and Queen of the Ring Are Right Around the Corner Just three weeks away, King and Queen of the Ring are already looming over the summer schedule. Ryan and Dom discuss potential favorites, dark horses, and why this year's tournaments could have major implications heading into SummerSlam season. • Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar: Is SummerSlam the Destination? What started as a compelling confrontation has become one of WWE's hottest programs. But where is it headed? Ryan and Dom discuss whether the obvious destination is a blockbuster SummerSlam showdown — or whether WWE might have something even bigger in mind for The Ruler and The Beast. • Sol Ruca: Future Star, Present Champion? Ryan and Dom have been high on Sol Ruca for a while, and they're not backing off now. The athleticism is there. The charisma is there. The connection with fans is there. The Wroundtable makes the case for why Sol should be the next Women's Intercontinental Champion — and why waiting too long could be a mistake. All that and more on Episode 67 of Wrasslin' Wroundtable — where Clash in Italy may be the destination, but the road to SummerSlam is already taking shape. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

🎙️ Did Brock Lesnar Work All of Us? Plus SNME Looks Shockingly Good

Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 66 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue are back with a question that wrestling fans have been asking all week: Did Brock Lesnar play us? What looked like a retirement at WrestleMania suddenly looks a lot different now, and that's just the beginning of this week's discussion. Show Notes • Brock Lesnar Answers Oba Femi's Open Challenge So... about those boots Brock left in the ring at WrestleMania. Were we all worked? Was the retirement tease a red herring? Or was the plan always to circle back around to Oba Femi? Ryan and Dom break down Brock's return, why the matchup continues to feel special, and what comes next for both The Beast and The Ruler. • Nick Khan and the Return of House Shows Nick Khan recently commented on WWE bringing back house shows, and Ryan and Dom have thoughts. A lot of thoughts. The Wroundtable discusses why viewing house shows strictly through a financial lens feels shortsighted and why live events have historically been one of the best developmental tools available. Timing. Reps. Character work. Crowd interaction. Some things simply can't be learned on television. • Saturday Night's Main Event Looks... Good? We weren't expecting to say this, but here we are. Saturday Night's Main Event is shaping up to be a surprisingly strong show, highlighted by: Logan Paul & Austin Theory vs. The Street Profits Ryan and Dom break down why this match could steal the show and why all four performers seem tailor-made for this kind of spotlight. • Trouble in Paradise for the Street Profits? Speaking of the Profits... Are the cracks starting to show? Ryan and Dom discuss whether tension is brewing between Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins and what a split could mean for one of WWE's most entertaining tag teams. All that and more on Episode 66 of Wrasslin' Wroundtable — where we're beginning to wonder if Brock Lesnar's boots were less a retirement speech and more a plot twist. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

🎙️ Gunther vs Cody, Jacob Fatu’s Future, and the Cena Classic Invitational

Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 65 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue break down the fallout from Backlash and look ahead to a massive upcoming title clash — while also digging into one of WWE’s more interesting new concepts. Show Notes • Jacob Fatu: What Happens After the Loss? Jacob Fatu came up short against Roman Reigns at Backlash — but the bigger question now is what comes next. Does Jacob stay in the title picture? Does he pivot away from Roman entirely? And could a partnership with Royce Keys change the direction of his career completely? Ryan and Dom break down where Fatu stands after the loss and why this next move feels incredibly important. • Gunther vs. Cody Rhodes at Clash in Italy The match is official — and it feels huge. Gunther challenges Cody Rhodes for the title at Clash in Italy, and Ryan and Dom discuss whether this is the moment The Ring General takes the throne. But beyond that, they ask an even bigger question: Can Cody Rhodes change? Because against Gunther, the polished version of Cody may not be enough. • The John Cena Classic Invitational NXT vs. the Main Roster. Fan interaction. Big opportunities. Ryan and Dom talk about the concept behind the John Cena Classic Invitational, why it could become a fantastic showcase for young talent, and which rising stars could use the tournament to truly break out. All that and more on Episode 65 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where the future of WWE might be taking shape right in front of us. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

🎙️ Ted Turner, WWE Cuts, and Backlash Somehow Exists This Weekend

Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 64 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue break down a week where the wrestling itself almost took a backseat to the business behind it. From releases and reported pay cuts to Ted Turner’s passing and a surprisingly loaded Backlash card, there’s a lot to unpack. Show Notes • WWE Releases, Pay Cuts, and a Very Ugly Conversation A PLE is happening this weekend… and somehow it’s barely the biggest story. Ryan and Dom dive into the reported WWE releases and the deeply concerning reports that talent were asked to take significant pay cuts — including Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, one of the most decorated tag teams of all time, reportedly being asked to take a 50% reduction. The Wroundtable discusses what this says about the current WWE/TKO landscape, roster value, and whether the company is losing sight of what made these acts important in the first place. • Backlash Preview: There’s Actually a Wrestling Show This Weekend — Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker This one feels delicate. Ryan and Dom discuss who should win — and more importantly, how WWE avoids cooling off either guy in the process. — Trick Williams vs. Sami Zayn Does Trick finally get revenge for the “gingerbread man” comments? And more importantly… is Sami Zayn finally starting to embrace a darker edge? — Jacob Fatu vs. Roman Reigns: Bloodline Civil War Evolves Every chapter somehow deepens this saga. Ryan and Dom break down how this latest confrontation could push the Bloodline story into even more dangerous territory. • Remembering Ted Turner (1938–2026) The wrestling world lost a giant. Ted Turner passed away at 87, and Ryan and Dom take time to reflect on his impact — not just on pro wrestling, but on sports, television, media, and culture itself. Without Ted Turner: WCW never becomes a national force. Monday Nitro never exists. Vince McMahon never sweats through 83 straight Mondays. The Wroundtable reflects on the chaotic genius of Turner, his role in bringing wrestling further into the mainstream, and why the industry simply doesn’t look the same without him. All that and more on Episode 64 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where the business of wrestling suddenly feels just as important as the matches themselves. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

🎙️ The Bloodline Isn’t Over, Joe Hendry Appears, and Fatu Levels Up

Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 63 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue pick up the pieces after WrestleMania 42 and look ahead — because if you thought things were settling down… think again. Show Notes • Roman Reigns & The Bloodline: What Comes Next? This story has moved beyond wrestling angles and into something deeper. Ryan and Dom break down the almost Shakespearean weight of the Bloodline saga — power, loyalty, betrayal — and where Roman Reigns goes from here. • Jacob Fatu and the Tongan Death Grip When Jacob Fatu pulled out the Tongan Death Grip, it felt intentional. Ryan and Dom discuss whether this is just a nod… or a sign that Fatu is tapping into something bigger — something more dangerous — within that lineage. • Joe Hendry Appears (Because They Said His Name) Raw said his name… and sure enough, he showed up. Joe Hendry makes his presence felt and sets his sights on Logan Paul — which, of course, leads to a mini crash-out from Dom about Logan’s… unique way of carrying a championship belt. • Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker: What’s the Next Step? Two paths, both important. Ryan and Dom break down where Seth goes next and how WWE continues to build Bron Breakker without losing momentum after a pivotal WrestleMania season. All that and more on Episode 63 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where the stories don’t end at WrestleMania… they evolve. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH
