WOL: The week WWE proved they are cancel-proof
For the first time in years, the Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live is TWO HOURS long (well, for Sports Byline, anyway).
Josh Nason guest hosts this week with a lot to talk about including:
- The week that WWE proved they are cancel-proof with the return of Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman explaining there are no apologies for him returning, and the insulating culture of many WWE fans in 2025 that made it possible
- The winners & losers of the WWE & ESPN PLE deal
- An early look at AEW Forbidden Door, why this year’s lineup doesn’t feel special thus far, and why the gimmick has lost its luster
- Why the John Cena heel turn was going to be a disaster from the start and why we should have known
All that and lots more ahead. Listen below for free or on either Spotify or Apple Podcasts (search for Wrestling Observer):
