Pop 'n Heat | Episode 40: Smackdown & Raw Recap Jan. 2-5

from Pop 'n Heat · host Pop 'n Heat Pod

Pop ’n Heat is back for episode 40 and we’re kicking off the new year the only way we know how—by diving headfirst into the chaos of WWE. We break down SmackDown from January 2 and Raw from January 5, react to Randy Orton’s feel-good return, and gush over the beautiful chaos of Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley proving that love really does conquer all. We debate whether Cody Rhodes is inching closer to a full-blown heel turn, mourn (once again) our sad little hero Chelsea Green losing her title, and crown our Top of The Pop and Hottest of The Heat for the week. Plus, we run through updates on potential superstar returns and all the moments that had us yelling at our TVs. New year, same Pop ’n Heat energy.#wwe #wweraw #wwesmackdown #wwerecap #wwereview #wwepredictions
