Episode 62 - AJ Lee’s WWE Return & AEW`s King of New York

AJ Lee is back — and the hyperbole machine is already in overdrive. Just as John Cena’s “heel turn” was once dubbed the best in history, AJ’s return is now being hailed as the greatest comeback ever. Some fans even say it’s the third best return in her own house. Whatever the ranking, there’s no denying the shockwaves it’s sending through the wrestling world.We break down what AJ’s return means for WWE, how it stacks up against CM Punk’s legendary comeback, and what it says about the power of nostalgia in wrestling. We also look at AEW’s ongoing perception issues — was the residency too long? — and why Eddie Kingston’s New York grit might be exactly what the company needs.From MJF’s evolution to the women’s division taking two steps forward and one step back, to whether we’re in a preseason lull, to tag team dream matches and shocking title wins on TV — this episode dives deep into why wrestling thrives on hype, surprises, and the larger-than-life moments that keep fans talking long after the bell rings.⏱️ Chapters:00:00 - AJ Lee's Historic Return09:29 - The Best Returns in Wrestling History ‍️15:02 - Fear of Overstaying Welcome22:58 - Logistical Challenges of Venues ️29:03 - Nostalgia and the Future of WWE ️34:55 - Disappointment with Big Bill's Handling42:56 - The Misdirection Theory on Eddie Kingston45:08 - Eddie Kingston's Role in Mox Redemption Story47:16 - Concerns Over Story Development1:01:57 - Lulls in Wrestling Storylines1:05:08 - Women's Division Issues ‍ 1:17:00 - Match Stipulations for MJF vs. Brisco1:31:18 - Wrapping Up the Conversation🎧 Listen & Subscribe:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.#WrestlingPodcast #AEW #WWE #ajlee #eddiekingston #hook #cmpunk #aewdynamite #theelite Hosted on Acast.

Episode 58 - Karrion My Wayward Son

It’s a skeleton crew this week — Andy’s allegedly hiding out in the Canary Islands (probably dodging Konnan), so it’s just Dan, Brett, and Lucy steering this runaway train.Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s contracts might be expiring… or it might be a work… or maybe it’s just a distraction while WWE sleepwalks through another PR nightmare. Either way, people online make it out to be the Da Vinci Code, and we’re here to poke holes in the hype.From there, we’re jumping straight into the good stuff: AEW might be on its hottest run in years. Collision and Dynamite are firing on all cylinders, Forbidden Door is around the corner, and we could be seeing Nigel McGuinness in the O2. Plus, your Discord and Twitter questions take us from fantasy booking chaos to arguing about trios titles, women’s tag divisions, Mercedes Mone, and everything in between.It’s opinionated, unfiltered, and sometimes a bit messy — exactly how wrestling podcasting should be.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Overview of Karrion Kross and Scarlett's Situation00:00 The Hype Around Karrion Kross: A Mystery Unveiled03:22 WWE vs AEW: The Fan Dynamics and Booking Strategies06:13 The Impact of AI on WWE's Production and Creative Choices09:02 The Nexus and John Cena: A Look Back at Wrestling History12:09 AEW's Current Success and Fan Engagement15:13 Ratings and Audience Curiosity: The Shift Towards AEW18:10 Conclusion: The Future of Wrestling and Fan Expectations25:16 Wrestling Predictions and Speculations28:14 Taking the Piss Out of Ratings and Audience Engagement31:17 Streaming Services and Pay-Per-View Dynamics34:18 Trios Titles vs. Women's Tag Titles49:12 Future of Women's Tag Team Wrestling52:08 Crowning the Best: Women's Tag Team Champions55:21 Character Development: Mercedes and Harley Cameron58:27 Building Feuds: Athena and Mercedes01:04:23 Forbidden Door: Ospreay's Potential Matches01:09:33 Zack Sabre Jr. and the Future of British Wrestling🎧 Listen & Subscribe Free:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Follow the Chaos:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and sub for weekly wrestling chaos, Britwres banter, AEW drama, and more questionable opinions.#AEW #WWE #KarrionKross #Scarlett #WrestlingPodcast #MJF #aewdynamite Hosted on Acast.

Episode 57 - AEW’S BEST WEEK YET?

We kick things off by addressing the elephant in the ring: Brock Lesnar’s return and WWE’s apparent apathy towards morality. We talk about the industry’s lack of accountability, the hypocrisy between how talent is treated, and the fan reaction to it all.But we’re not here to be miserable all day — we flip the vibe halfway and celebrate AEW’s incredible week of wrestling. From Dustin’s career-resurrecting performance to chaos with MJF and the Outrunners, Collision and Dynamite might’ve just had their best week ever.We also field your Discord questions, fantasy book open challenges, and dive into why the indies still matter more than ever.Timestamps00:00 - Welcome to Episode 57 of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast ️03:02 - WWE's Controversial Decisions and Morality Concerns ️10:24 - The Fallout of Brock Lesnar's Return and Industry Reactions 17:58 - WWE's Morality 30:02 - Discussion on WWE Wrestlers and Accountability33:02 - Triple H and the Craving for Power39:20 - Dustin Rhodes and His Legacy in Wrestling48:59 - MJF and the Shifting Stories1:00:04 - Women's Blood and Guts Match? ‍️1:10:02 - Don Callis and the Belt Collector Angle ️1:19:41 - The Discussion on Indie Talent and Opportunities1:21:10 - Elevating the Indie Scene Through AEW Collaborations1:31:24 - The Importance of Indie Wrestling ️1:35:39 - Exploring Various Wrestling Options🎧 Listen & Subscribe Free:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Follow the Chaos:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and sub for weekly wrestling chaos, Britwres banter, AEW drama, and more questionable opinions.#WWE #AEW #BrockLesnar #WrestlingPodcast #DustinRhodes Hosted on Acast.
