Even though it is pre-taped, and going to be with zero fans in the audience, we still think this has the potential to be an amazing show and our picks are locked in as we go head-to-head with Going In Raw, as well as our Patrons, in our BWO Patron Pick'ems Challenge! Will reigning champion Kris White be able to successfully retain his championship at one of the most unique WrestleMania's in history?!
AEW Dynamite was also killer this week with Jericho continuing to be the GOAT, Lance Archer and Anna Jayy debuting, and an awesome tag match in the main event that had a bit of a surprise ending no one saw coming! NXT had some awesome matches as well that were mostly overshadowed by the awful nails-on-a-chalkboard commentary of Sam Roberts (aka Doink Ambrose).

Stone Cold, Undertaker, and Edge all return to another episode of WWE at the Performance Center in Orlando, FL with no audience in attendance. The Coronavirus is definitely leaving its mark on the world of professional wrestling, as it is with everything else.
WrestleMania appears to be headed to the Performance Center as well, unless something changes, but we'll definitely keep you posted. With 'Mania cancelled, that also has a domino effect on all of the other extracurricular activities surrounding that weekend, as all other indie shows and promotions get cancelled as well.
We then close out the show by discussing how they're going to move forward in this climate. Happy St Patrick's Day!

It's quite possible we just witnessed one of the greatest PPVs in professional wrestling history. Wrestle Kingdom 14 was a TWO NIGHT mega-event this year, tying up storylines from the previous year, launching new ones hard into 2020, and tying some storylines that have been running the entirety of the decade prior. We left Night 1 with THREE Match-of-the-Year contenders 4 days into the new year.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good as well over in WWE, as we kick off Season 28 of the longest running episodic television show in history, and shift into gear down the Road to WrestleMania, building towards Royal Rumble.

Elimination Chamber has been eliminated from our to do list and now we just have one more Smackdown PPV until the Big Show (not the superstar). Which leaves us wondering:
What are the matches we know about?
What are the matches they seem to be building?
What are the matches that we think might happen?
We discuss this and all the weekly goings ons as we go over Monday Night Raw, Smackdown Live, and a bunch of other happenings on NXT, 205 Live, and outside of the WWE! (Lucha Underground, NJPW, ROH, etc)

WWE Elimination Chamber is upon us, and Nick & Sir Ian Dangerous are attending a taping of the new season of Lucha Underground this weekend!
The RAW go-home show for Elimination Chamber (aka No Escape in other parts of the world) and it was quite unique, featuring a 2-hour Gauntlet match where we not only say some surprise eliminations, but also some records were broken!
Jeff Jarrett is the next inductee into the 2018 Hall of Fame class, and no one saw that coming! And we're officially getting dual-brand PPV's again starting with Backlash after Wrestlemania!
Full recaps of Raw and Smackdown, as well as some Newsworthy Notes to wrap up the show around NXT, 205 Live, and various other promotions around the world such as ROH, NJPW, NWA, Impact, Progress, PWG, and much more!

T minus 60 days to Wrestlemania! The Road to Wrestlemania is underway, and WWE is building for its last 2 PPV’s before the biggest show of the year. Elimination Chamber got some of its last entrants and locked down its women's matches, and SDL made a big-ol' match to headline Fastlane ... but that PPV is still so far away it seems like the poor blue brand might have too much time on its hands.

The Road to the Rumble continues with more feuds stabilizing ... and more stables feudalizing(?)!

Monday Night Raw saw the return of the A-lister, Braun found a grappling hook in a roadie case, Enzo got Busted Wide Open, and Alexa Bliss is pitting Nia Jax against Asuka.
Smackdown Live took more than 20 minutes before someone got hands on another person, and the big feud around Shane O'Mac, Daniel Bryan, KO, Sami Zayn, and AJ Styles continues to heat up. Mojo Rawley advances in the US Title tournament, Breezango went over Rusev Day, and the Bludgeon Brothers buried another duo.
Lots more news and notes in this episode, so stay tuned after the recaps!

Merry Miz-mas! Or is it Bliss-mas? Welcome to the Christmas edition of the Busted Wide Open podcast!
Raw and Smackdown Live were both Christmas-themed this week, with some segments giving us coal, and some giving us the GI Joe Aircraft Carrier!
Brand new RAW tag champs and injuries abound! John Cena returns, Woken Matt Hardy laughs and makes noises for 10 minutes, and Nick makes some crazy early outlandish predictions for surprises at the Royal Rumble (which, why are we surprised at this anymore!)

The fallout from Survivor Series was definitely felt this week on both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, with Raw winning and addressing the HHH double-cross, and SmackDown Live seeing Daniel Bryan taking over things as Shane McMahon left the building!

PSA: Apologies for getting this out late, but some technical difficulties prevented it from going up in a more timely manner!
We had a MASSIVE weekend of WWE PPV content with both NXT Takeover War Games and WWE Survivor Series taking place! The final PPV of the "big four" each year is always one to watch, as Raw and Smackdown go head-to-head! This featured BOTH brands of the main roster and NXT all participating in two massive shows, which included the revival of something we haven't seen in 20 years: WAR GAMES!
Did the shows live up to the extended build that led to each show?!
Did the re-emergence of War Games deliver?!
What about the Survivor Series matches?! Given the chaos in the last few weeks of the build, did it all come together?!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy this special episode of our recap of both shows!

It's time for WWE Survivor Series and NXT Takeover Houston War Games! The go-home shows are in the books! With probably one of the most chaotic builds we've seen to a PPV in recent memory, and so many last-minute changes just this week alone, this is stacking up to be one helluva weekend of pro wrestling!
The biggest news of the week centers around the return of HHH, and replacing Jason Jordan on Team Raw for the 5-way elimination match! With John Cena joining Smackdown last week, this brings up the question of ... are these teams too stacked? Are they too ... old?
Charlotte Flair takes the Women's Smackdown title off of Natalya and will now face Alexa Bliss at Survivor Series. This also means Natalya will be joining Team Smackdown. Is this a better matchup?
Over on Raw, Bayley won the triple threat to become the 5th women, and we saw some hints of a brewing Asuka feud with Dana Brooke, Finn Balor and Samoa Joe teamed up to face The Club, and Braun "buried" Kane with a through-the-ring spot that is just ... tired at this point.
Smackdown Live saw the invasion of Team Raw and the rest of the Monday Night Raw roster, New Day faced off against Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens, Sin Cara had a US Title opportunity against Baron Corbin, and Daniel Bryan is the new advocate for AJ Styles, giving a blistering promo thrown back at Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar.
Oh ... and there was yet another Bludgeon Brothers video package that was entirely forgettable!
Nick & Sir Ian Dangerous make their picks and bookings for both Survivor Series and NXT Takeover with some interesting twists and predictions, especially after getting to see an NXT House Show live in Riverside, CA this past weekend!
There is SOOOO MUCH going on this week that you'll just have to tune in to hear it all! Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!
Week 2 of the Road to Survivor Series in the WWE brings us closer to the development of the teams for the men's and women's 5-way teams for the Elimination matches!
Monday Night Raw was a night of returns, as we had appearances and matches from Stephanie McMahon, Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, and Nia Jax! But this week we also had some "future endeavorings" as Summer Rae, Darren Young, and even EMMA were released from the WWE roster!
Daniel Bryan also made his way onto Monday Night Raw to confront Kurt Angle over the Smackdown invasion of Raw last week, and that did not end well for him!
Over on Smackdown Live, Shane McMahon opened the show with a great promo in-ring explaining how they've always been the underdog fighting upwards, and why they needed to make a statement heading into Survivor Series, metaphorically [and literally] kicking Raw in the mouth!
Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, and even Rusev (maybe?) have all been added to the SDL men's team for Survivor Series by winning their matches tonight, the feud between Sin Cara and Baron Corbin continues to heat up, and Nick & Sir Ian try to rationalize how the ratings were the lowest since the Brand Split last year (maybe because it was ... I don't know ... HALLOWEEN!?) ...
This and much, much more!
We've got two more weeks of development until Survivor Series, so stay tuned for the latest updates!
UPCOMING EVENTS WE'RE ATTENDING:
NXT in Riverside, CA on Nov 11th
RISE in South Gate, CA on Dec 1st
We would love to meet some of our fans and will be recording live at the event! Want to meet up with us and be on the show?! Send us an email to bwo@orbitaljigsaw.com!
