Voices of Wrestling Podcast Network

In Episode 86 of the Mike & JD Show, Mike is joined by special guest BQ of the IMPACT Lounge (youtube.com/@negativebq) to break down the latest bombshells in pro wrestling:

• AEW vs. CM Punk Saga Continues: We examine new allegations by former AEW star Ryan Nemeth, who filed a complaint detailing harassment, threats, and management failures linked to CM Punk’s time in AEW. Hear Nemeth’s alleged timeline of harassment, backstage politicking, legal entanglements, and how AEW executives reportedly handled—or mishandled—the situation.

• TNA Going Big in 2025: After months of speculation, TNA has announced major pay-per-view events in both Los Angeles and New York City next year. Rebellion heads to the Galen Center at USC in April, and Slammiversary arrives at the UBS Arena in July. We discuss the significance of TNA’s coast-to-coast expansion, ticket sales strategies, meet & greets, and the exclusive Titanium Ticket Package perks that could redefine the fan experience.

• Impact of Controversies & Future Directions: As AEW and TNA make bold moves, what does this mean for their long-term storytelling and roster management? Will AEW address internal conflicts more transparently? Can TNA maintain momentum with marquee events and top-tier talent?

Join us as we delve into the persistent AEW vs. CM Punk narrative, TNA’s ambitious 2025 plans, and everything in between, offering insights, opinions, and predictions for wrestling’s ever-evolving landscape.
