Welcome back to the Wrestling Outlet, your go-to source for the highs, the lows, and the weirdness of the squared circle. This week, we’re balancing the heavy weight of reality with the future of the industry.

Boxman kicks things off on a somber note, taking a moment to reflect on the recent tragedies that have happened around the globe. Once Smark joins the booth, the engines rev up as we dive into a packed news cycle:

The Hardcore Goodbye: We discuss the shocking news of Mick Foley officially severing ties with WWE. What does this mean for the "Hardcore Legend’s" legacy and his future appearances?

The Long Goodbye: As the clock ticks on John Cena’s retirement, we look at the latest updates on his farewell tour.

Dynasty in the North: AEW announces Dynasty 2026 for April 12 in Vancouver, British Columbia. We break down what this means for the Canadian market.

Royal Rumble’s New Rhythm: WWE is shaking up the schedule with a 2 p.m. ET start time for the 2026 Royal Rumble. Is the afternoon slot the new gold standard for Premium Live Events?

The Merger War: The Warner Bros. Discovery board has officially snubbed Paramount’s offer, labeling it "inferior" compared to a potential Netflix merger. We talk about the massive implications for wrestling broadcasting rights.

From the Ring to the Screen: Rising star Ricky Saints is set to appear on Season 3 of the CW’s Wild Cards. Is he the next crossover sensation?

The Rankings Are In: We dissect Sports Illustrated’s End-of-Year Pro Wrestling Rankings. Who got snubbed, and who actually earned their spot?

The Hypothetical: In our "Only on the Outlet" segment, we debate which wrestlers have the voice, the charisma, and the... stamina to be the absolute best at phone sex. (It gets weird, folks.)

The Recap: A quick-fire breakdown of this week’s AEW Dynamite.

To all our listeners, thank you for sticking with us through another year of slams and storylines. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
