Hard Hidz #197: NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 16, AEW Dynamite on TBS, Battle of the Belts, WWE Day 1 & NXT New Year’s Evil

On our first episode of 2022, we review New Japan’s epic 3-night Wrestle Kingdom 16 (capped off by NJPW vs NOAH), All Elite Wrestling Dynamite’s debut on TBS (headlined by Hangman Page vs. Bryan Danielson II & several new champs) and their Battle of the Belts special. Plus, we discuss how Roman Reigns getting COVID somehow led to Brock Lesnar pinning Big E at Day 1 to win the WWE Championship, NXT 2.0 New Year’s Evil (where Carmelo Hayes unified the Cruiserweight & North American titles while Bron Breakker became the new NXT champion), Tony Khan’s terrible response to Big Swole, and IMPACT Knockouts Champion Mickie James crossing the forbidden door to enter the Royal Rumble.
