Wrestling Tonight: WWE CROWN JEWEL FALLOUT | WEIGHING PROS & CONS OF WWE ID | VINCE STARTING NEW ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY?

The Turnbuckle Tavern

Join Chad and Acefield Retro for the ultimate wrestling recap show WRESTLING TONIGHT! This week, we’re diving deep into the action from WWE CROWN JEWEL in Saudi Arabia, where CODY RHODES took down GUNTHER, LIV MORGAN triumphed over NIA JAX, and SOLO SIKOA scored a major victory by pinning ROMAN REIGNS in a thrilling six-man tag match. But that’s not all—we’ll also explore WWE’s new Independent Development (ID) program, designed to support indie wrestlers on their path to WWE. We’ll discuss the benefits of this initiative, including enhanced training and career opportunities, and how it could transform the indie wrestling landscape. However, we won’t shy away from the concerns, such as potential talent monopolization, creative pressures, and the implications for AEW and other promotions. Plus, we’ll compare this new program to WWE’s previous NXT UK efforts to understand its broader impact. In addition to all this, we’ll touch on the noise surrounding Vince McMahon potentially launching a new non-wrestling entertainment company—what could that mean for the wrestling world and beyond? Join us for our quick hitter news segment where we break down all the latest in wrestling and preview the week ahead across WWE, AEW, TNA, NJPW, GCW, NWA, MLW, AAA Lucha, and more.
