About this episode

The episode discusses the hypothetical return of The Rock to WWE for one more match and critiques Batista's comments on AEW.

Originally aired in June of 2019, we explored the possibility of The Rock returning to WWE to have one more match. I run down four possible opponents in order of who would be the most likely to face him. At the end of the show I also talk about Batista's comments about AEW not being "real competition" for WWE and why I strongly disagree.
