Welcome to Episode 127 of Wrestling Tonight! This week, we've got a loaded rundown of the wrestling landscape—everything from WWE's stacked Money in the Bank lineup to AEW's shifting roster and the high-stakes finals of NJPW's Best of the Super Juniors. Plus, we dig into WWE's continued schedule posturing, the latest on SmackDown's expanded format, and the bittersweet farewell to a hardcore legend. Money in the Bank Preview – Seth Rollins, Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, and others climb toward championship destiny in the Men's MITB – Rhea Ripley, Giulia, Naomi, and more headline the Women's MITB – Cena & Logan Paul vs. Cody & Jey, and Becky Lynch challenges Lyra Valkyria for the Intercontinental Women's Title We break down the card, matchups, and who's poised for a breakout summer. SmackDown's Third Hour Stays—for Now Despite repeated promises from Triple H that the third hour of SmackDown was "temporary," WWE and USA Network are moving forward with the three-hour format indefinitely. The change, initially framed as an "experiment," now looks like a ratings-driven decision, with no clear end date in sight. While a rollback to two hours is still technically on the table for the fall, fans are once again seeing the gap between creative promises and corporate outcomes. 🇯🇵 BOSJ 32 Finals: Fujita def. YOH to win and earn a shot of El Desperado We talk NJPW's Best of the Super Juniors final from June 1 between YOH and Kosei Fujita. When will Fujita take on El Desperado?
