WrestleRant Radio - August 17, 2023: Lacey Evans Leaves WWE, Latest CM Punk-AEW Drama, Reviewing Raw, & More!

Lacey Evans is officially gone from WWE as of earlier this week, but is she an example of someone the company missed the boat on? Graham "GSM" Matthews opens WrestleRant Radio with his analysis of her departure and where WWE went wrong with her, if it's a significant loss for the women's division, and where she could go next. He also reviews Raw from Monday with thoughts on the latest Judgment Day developments, Gunther vs. Chad Gable for the Intercontinental Championship going down next week, if Drew McIntyre will turn heel on Matt Riddle, Indi Hartwell's singles Raw debut against Rhea Ripley, Shinsuke Nakamura's lame explanation for why he attacked Seth Rollins, why Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus underwhelmed, and Cody Rhodes vs. Finn Balor in the main event. Finally, GSM discusses AEW's latest behind-the-scenes drama involving CM Punk and why Tony Khan stepping in is long overdue before breaking down the Fight for the Fallen edition of Dynamite on Wednesday night! He talks new matches being made for All In, Chris Jericho seemingly turning babyface, MJF and Adam Cole cutting strong promos ahead of their upcoming encounter, and arguably the worst match in Dynamite history. Plus, has AEW botched the build to All In?
