Something big always happens several hours after our episiodes drop. Last week was no exception. Last week, it was the fact that Vince McMahon is back with WWE. Then there was a big night of news and rumors on Tuesday following the resignation of his daughter, Stephanie. We dive into all of that this week as well as recap AEW Dynamite from Wednesday night. Topics include the silliness of the "Top 5 Contenders" for Danielson and the lack of the wrestler formerly known as Sasha Banks. Give us a listen and share with your friends, please.

Rampage was a good show on paper, but lacked the fine tuning necessary to elevate the program to the next level. We had a surprise return and shocking debuts. Tune in for this and more on The Tap!

Backstage drama seemed to be headlining AEW as Andrade was sent home after a physical altercation with Sammy Guevara. The news broke hours before AEW Dynamite, disrupting plans for AEW Rampage. But with an amazing lineup of matches for AEW Dynamite, did the drama overshadow the incredible matches which took place last night. Find out, here, on The Tap. 

AEW Rampage this week was just like Samoa Joe in the main event, gassed out. It was filled with promos that took away from potentially great action, headlined by Samoa Joe defending the ROH TV title against Josh Woods. We kicked off the show with Matt Hardy taking on Darby Allin. Tune in for this and more on The Tap!
