<p>WIF: Bash in Berlin faced some technical hiccups, so while this episode was recorded before the PLE aired, it’s dropping a little late. But no worries, Darkstar Shady and Zach deliver a stellar episode. On WIF Smackdown, they finalize the match card for the event, setting the stage for an intense PLE where multiple titles from both brands are on the line. Who retains, and will we see any new champions crowned?</p> <p>Before diving into the action, the duo recaps last week's Raw and Smackdown, breaking down the men’s and women’s tag divisions and debating whether the Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio/Judgment Day storyline is starting to get overplayed. Plus, this week’s draft focuses on the best WWE theme songs.</p> <p><em>This should go without saying, but these two do not own the rights to any of the WWE IP, characters or storylines, it's just two guys having fun to break up their work week and imagine what they would like to see.</em></p> <p><em>Website: </em><a href="https://darkstarshady.com/wrestlingisfiction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>https://darkstarshady.com/wrestlingisfiction/</em></a></p> <p><em>Sponsors: </em><a href="https://darkstarshady.com/sponsors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>https://darkstarshady.com/sponsors/</em></a></p> <p><em>Darkstar's Tiktok: </em><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@darkstarshady" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>Darkstar Shady</em></a></p> <p><em>Zach's Instagram: </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/takingzachsunday/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>@takingzachsunday</em></a><em></em></p> <p><em>Cover art by </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/fadedreflectionsstudio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>Elizabeth Starnes</em></a></p>

<p>Wrestling is Fiction is back with a brand new format! Darkstar Shady and Zach start the episode with a new segment where they draft a top five each week. To start off the two draft their top five wrestling quotes and phrases of all time.</p> <p> After that, they go into their normal recap, if not at a little faster than normal. We also get a bit of a debate of whether or not Randy Orton is the right choice as Gunther's first opponent. This leads into WIF,Smackdown where Jey Uso opens up the show defending his US title. Over on Raw we get a women's tag title defense from Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn against Chelsea Green and Piper Niven.</p> <p><em>This should go without saying, but these two do not own the rights to any of the WWE IP, characters or storylines, it's just two guys having fun to break up their work week and imagine what they would like to see.</em></p> <p><em>Website: </em><a href="https://darkstarshady.com/wrestlingisfiction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>https://darkstarshady.com/wrestlingisfiction/</em></a></p> <p><em>Sponsors: </em><a href="https://darkstarshady.com/sponsors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>https://darkstarshady.com/sponsors/</em></a></p> <p><em>Darkstar's Tiktok: </em><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@darkstarshady" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>Darkstar Shady</em></a></p> <p><em>Zach's Instagram: </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/takingzachsunday/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>@takingzachsunday</em></a><em></em></p> <p><em>Cover art by </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/fadedreflectionsstudio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>Elizabeth Starnes</em></a></p>
