What's Going Down - March 24th 2026
🎧 Listen to the full episode on Inside The Ropes
AJ Lee return match
AJ Lee said that she's going to wrestle her at WrestleMania, her first time competing in 11 years.
Gunther's WrestleMania status
Gunther has not been seen on WBTV in three weeks now. They are hoping that Rey Mysterio is going to be cleared in time for WrestleMania to do the match that they want to do. If he's not, then I don't know what they're going to do as a backup.
CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns feud
CM Punk said, 'The only thing that upset me last week was Roman Reigns calling me old. As my young boy, he's not allowed to say that to me, he needs to show me respect.'
WWE Hall of Fame announcements
We'll cover Dennis Condry's sad passing and we'll cover Sid going in the Hall of Fame and Dennis Rodman going in the Hall of Fame.
Matt Cardona injury angle
Orton grabs Cardona and puts him in the ring, puts a chair over his left arm and basically breaks Matt Cardona's arm.
CM Punk heel turn theory
I think Punk does need backup for WrestleMania and I can't think who else it would be. My theory is that Punk helps Paul and Austin Theory win the belts next week and that's how you end up having Punk do the heel turn.
Tag Team Championship booking
Damian Priest and R-Truth won the Tag Team Titles here. These tag titles do not feel in any way important. It felt like an FU to the SmackDown tag team division.
Matt Cardona's WWE career
I feel like if you look at Cardona, you go, I don't think he made the right choice [signing with WWE]. His stock is going to drop so much more because he's just going to be hanging around Apollo Crews, it'll be our main event and he'll get released in like a year.
Braun Breaker injury update
It feels like they might have Braun Breaker for WrestleMania. I know the PW Insider reported that he's at the PC this week trying to get cleared.
Creative suggestion for Gunther
Have him appear next week, backstage on Raw. Have Gunther backstage giving Paul Levesque a hard time: 'I don't have an opponent for WrestleMania, I've beaten everyone, what are you doing?'
