What happens when pro wrestling and political power collide? In this episode, semi-retired pro wrestler Tristen Law and co-host Jess Thee Yaptain pull back the curtain on WWE’s decades-long dance with politics—from Linda McMahon’s cabinet days to Triple H shaking hands in the White House. This isn’t about parties or presidents. It’s about influence, image, and the cost of chasing legitimacy.

You’ll hear stories of patriotism turned controversy, characters caught in real-world heat, and how wrestling’s obsession with power may have changed the game forever. By the end, you’ll have to decide for yourself: Did WWE sell its soul for political power?
