Pierce Rob and Chris discuss the rocky road to WrestleMania 41, before a look back at No Way Out 2009.
John Cena's first Heel promo happened on Raw and it set up his match with Cody Rhodes to be a major turn point. What can we expect going forward? Bang told you months ago that a triple threat between Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, Seth "Freakin" Rollins, and CM Punk was gonna happen at WrestleMania and now we are here. However, what's next? Randy Orton and Kevin Owens punched their tickets to Mania.
BET gets into the Wrestling Business, kind of. BET.com releases its 15 greatest Black Wrestlers of all time. Do we agree, or is this just good SEO content? The Street Profits did it! They are the new WWE Tag Champions, defeating Cam’s least favorite tag team, so we have to get his reaction.
Gunther is bringing back a move that used to be dangerous. What other classic moves should be brought back?

John Cena has finally turned “Heel”
In wrestling, a "heel" refers to a villainous or antagonistic character. Heels are the "bad guys" in the storyline, often engaging in underhanded tactics, cheating, or trash-talking to provoke the audience and their opponents. People have wondered if John Cena would ever “turn heel” but we no longer have to wait because at Elimination Chamber Toronto, Cena shocked the world winning the Elimination Chamber match, beating up Cody Rhodes and aligning with The Final Boss, The Rock. With Drake in the building!
What does this mean for WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas?

Pierce Rob and Chris preview this Saturday's Elimination Chamber show, plus that weird promo between The Rock and Cody Rhodes, and other musings around professional wrestling.
The Rock Wants Cody's Soul?
The Rock made waves on SmackDown by going full heel, declaring his demand for Cody Rhodes' soul. With The Rock set to appear at Elimination Chamber, the tension escalates. This leads to an interesting question—will Cody emulate the "Cena Effect" and do whatever it takes to retain his title dreams?
Who Should Turn Heel—John Cena or Cody Rhodes?
The episode debates whether Cena, who nearly went heel during his feud with The Rock, should make the shift now—or if Cody Rhodes is better suited for the dark side. Who would be the most compelling antagonist?

Raw on Netflix debuted with some huge numbers worldwide, but did the event live up to expectations? Among the major moments was an appearance by Hulk Hogan to promote his beer. The crowd let him know how they felt but TV pundits believe his support of President-Elect Donald Trump was the reason for boos. Are they right?
