WWE: Royal Rumble builds as wrestling disappears from SmackDown, Raw
from Getting Over: Wrestling Podcast · host Adam Silverstein
WWE is less than two weeks out from the 2022 Royal Rumble as the build towards the double main event of Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley continues. Host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini open the show with a look at WWE's troubling trends across SmackDown and Raw [8:00] -- including a lack of wrestling and strange scheduling amid commercial breaks -- and Mustafa Ali requesting his release. The Main Event [31:40] focuses on the build for those co-main events, including the first Reigns-Rollins face-to-face in years. The guys then tackle The Good, The Bad and The Ugly [49:15] across the week in WWE, including Lita's return to SmackDown, Doudrop's work with Becky Lynch, fun sports entertainment with In-Zayn and the Alpha Academy Graduation Ceremony, pitiful booking for Finn Balor and Kofi Kingston, and hope for Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H.
