   Our WWE Predictions Aged Crazy: Oba Won, Sami Became Champion & Bloodline Drama

   Episode 10 of In The Ring was recorded before Night of Champions, but vacation slowed the drop… and now some of these takes aged crazy. Willz and Jonny hold it down while AK is out, and they get into a loaded mix of wrestling talk and real fan debate. They start with Knicks championship energy, then jump into Jacob Fatu joining The Bloodline, The Usos not trusting him, and Roman Reigns loving what Jacob brings to the family. The episode also includes King of the Ring predictions before Oba Femi officially won, Gunther vs Cody predictions before Sami Zayn became WWE Champion, and a debate on whether Sami should fully turn heel now that he is on top. Then the fellas build modern versions of classic factions, including a new Right To Censor and a new Nation of Domination. They also talk AEW’s in ring work, The Kliq running the 90s, Jeff Hardy’s case as a top 10 babyface ever, the best wrestling theme songs, storylines they would change, and Fanatics Fest. Some takes aged well. Some aged wild. That’s wrestling. Topics include: • Knicks championship reaction • Jacob Fatu joining The Bloodline • Roman loving Jacob’s Bloodline energy • King of the Ring predictions before Oba Femi won • Gunther vs Cody predictions before Sami Zayn became champion • Should Sami Zayn turn full heel? • Fantasy booking Oba Femi vs The Bloodline • Jonny builds a modern Right To Censor • Willz builds a modern Nation of Domination • Storylines we would change • Jonny gives AEW their flowers • The Kliq dominating WWE and WCW in the 90s • Is Jeff Hardy a top 10 babyface ever? • Best wrestling theme songs ever • Fanatics Fest shoutout Join the conversation: Did Oba Femi winning King of the Ring prove he’s the next monster in WWE? Is Sami Zayn as WWE Champion valid, or should he turn full heel? Is Jacob Fatu joining The Bloodline the spark they needed, or the beginning of the end? Is Jeff Hardy a top 10 babyface of all time? What wrestling storyline would you change if you had the book? Tap in with In The Ring and drop your takes.

   WWE Feels Off, Brock Returns, Roman vs Jacob & Fixing KofiMania

   WWE has been feeling off lately, and on this episode of In The Ring, Willz, Jonny, and AK break down why RAW and SmackDown have been hard to watch these past few weeks. We talk about Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu, where the story could be heading, and whether Jacob is the right guy to finally take Roman down. We also get into Brock Lesnar returning and attacking Oba Femi after everybody thought Brock was retired, why Oba should still be the one to finish Brock’s story, and why his open challenge run made him feel smaller than he should. AK goes off about Netflix having all the WWE stars while SmackDown feels empty, especially with injuries hurting the roster. We also debate if WWE needs less comedy and more matches, whether call ups have the total package, and if WWE waters down wrestlers who looked better in smaller promotions. Plus, we debut Fix The Fumble, where we rebook Kofi Kingston’s WWE Championship reign after KofiMania and explain how WWE should have handled his title run instead of the Brock squash. Thank you for helping us reach 1K subscribers and 1K followers on Instagram. Now we’re on the road to 10K. Join the conversation and tell us what WWE is fumbling the most right now.

   WWE Releases Got Messy… Did New Day Just Walk Away? | In The Ring Ep. 8

   WWE’s latest round of releases has the wrestling world arguing, and In The Ring Episode 8 jumps straight into the chaos. Willz, Jonny, and AK are joined by special guests Brady from theheelmarks and Arden from The Four Side Company for a raw, barbershop-style wrestling debate about the biggest stories in WWE right now. We break down the reports surrounding The New Day leaving WWE after refusing a major pay cut, and why Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods deserve their flowers for knowing their worth. Were WWE wrong for letting them walk? Did New Day make the smartest move of their careers? Or is this just the reality of wrestling business in 2026? The crew also reacts to the rumors around Kairi Sane possibly returning after the fan backlash WWE received, and why that whole situation makes the latest WWE releases feel even more confusing. From there, we get into the current state of WWE’s tag team division. Is the division weak right now? Has WWE dropped the ball on tag team wrestling? And why does it feel like tag teams used to matter way more back in the day? We also debate the newest NXT call ups and who has the best chance to become a major star on the main roster. The conversation gets into names like Joe Hendry, Oba Femi, and the future of WWE if these call ups are booked the right way. Then we take it back and compare today’s WWE booking to the Attitude Era, talking about why that era felt more unpredictable, character-driven, and must-watch compared to modern wrestling. And of course, we had to talk about the big one: Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu at WWE Backlash. Jacob Fatu is challenging Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship, and WWE has been building real tension between them. Most of the cast believes Jacob actually has a real shot to beat Roman. But is WWE ready to pull the trigger? Would Jacob Fatu winning the title be the right move? Or is Roman Reigns still too protected to lose this soon? This episode is full of WWE debate, wrestling hot takes, Roman Reigns talk, New Day discussion, NXT call up reactions, tag team division arguments, and pure fan energy. This is not corporate wrestling talk. This is barbershop wrestling debate. Topics include: WWE releases, New Day leaving WWE, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Kairi Sane rumors, WWE tag team division, NXT call ups, Joe Hendry, Oba Femi, Attitude Era booking, Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu, WWE Backlash predictions, and the future of WWE.
