WrestleRant Radio - July 9, 2026: Honest Analysis of HUGE WWE and AEW World Title Changes, Sheamus Leaving WWE, & More!

After previewing Conor McGregor's UFC return coming up this weekend and talking Maxxine Dupri's heel turn on Raw, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau offer their honest analysis on what's been a super eventful week in wrestling, starting with Kenny Omega beating MJF for the AEW World Championship on Dynamite. Why now and not at Redemption in Canada at the end of the month? Will it end up being a three-way with Omega, MJF and Will Ospreay at All In? Where does MJF go from here? That leads them into their next hot topic: CM Punk returning on Raw to dethrone Sami Zayn as Undisputed WWE Champion! As cool of a moment as it was in Chicago, it also didn't make a ton of sense, and the duo discuss why. They also talk about how it could have been worse, why a heel turn for Punk should be coming and if it would work, and why all hope may not be lost for Zayn going forward. To close out the episode, GSM and RJ share their thoughts on Sheamus leaving WWE after refusing to restructure his current deal, what's being lost in context, if he'll end up in AEW, what it says about Triple H's style of booking, and more!
