Wrestling Tonight: ELIMINATION CHAMBER PREVIEW, THE ROCK'S CHALLENGE TO CODY, SHANE MCMAHON'S AEW TALKS & MORE

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight Episode 113! This week, we're joined by The Turnbuckle Tavern, Acefield Retro, and Chad as we break down the latest in WWE, AEW, and TNA, and preview the upcoming Elimination Chamber 2025 event in Toronto. We start with a detailed preview of the Elimination Chamber, featuring two exciting Chamber matches. The men's bout includes John Cena, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Damian Priest, and Seth Rollins. The women's match features Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, Bianca Belair, Bayley, Roxanne Perez and Naomi, all aiming for a chance at WrestleMania. Plus, Kevin Owens faces Sami Zayn in an unsanctioned match with deep personal stakes. Moving on to SmackDown, The Rock made a surprising challenge to Cody Rhodes, asking him to be his champion – but with a cryptic twist. The Rock hinted that their storyline might not culminate in a traditional match at WrestleMania after all, and we discuss how this could play out. Shifting gears, we talk about the Shane McMahon recent rumors regarding AEW, where he reportedly asked for equity in the company and expressed interest in running the show. While there's been no follow-up from AEW President Tony Khan, the discussion raises questions about Shane's future in pro wrestling and potential involvement with AEW. TNA is also on our radar this week, as the company announces a two-night event in Irvine, California in May. We discuss the upcoming Impact live show and TV taping, as well as TNA's Unbreakable 2025 special, set to air during WrestleMania week. McKenzie Mitchell returns as the new ring announcer, adding another layer to the excitement. In other WWE news, Seth Rollins has started discussions with the company about a potential backstage role post-retirement. We dive into what this means for Rollins and his long-term future with WWE. Meanwhile, Ricky Starks has rebranded as Ricky Saints in WWE's NXT, and we explore what this new direction means for his career in the company. Finally, we touch on Zack Sabre Jr.'s upcoming return to Game Changer Wrestling, where he'll face Drew Parker and other opponents in two matches next month. And we discuss the signing of Brock Rechsteiner, Scott Steiner's son, who has inked an NIL deal with WWE and is expected to join the company once his college football career is over.
