A Weekend of Wrestling Chaos (and Kelsey’s in a Box)

With Kelsey off the grid (and possibly packed in a moving box), Xavier holds down the ring solo to cover one of the most chaotic weekends in modern wrestling history — and he’s got thoughts.

The episode dives into three major events:
 🔥 WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
👑 WWE Evolution II
💥 AEW All In: Texas

From Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre to Hangman Page’s blood-soaked redemption, Xavier breaks down the key matches, title shifts, and emotional gut punches across both WWE and AEW. He covers standout performances, storyline developments, and what these events mean for the future of both promotions.

Match Highlights Include:
• Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre
• Gunther vs. Goldberg
• Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria (Women’s Intercontinental Title)
• Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Moné (AEW Women’s World Title)
• Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega
• Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Page (AEW World Title – Texas Death Match)

Xavier also dives into WWE Evolution 2’s strongest moments — including Naomi’s unforgettable cash-in, Jade Cargill’s no-holds-barred brawl, and the instant-classic between Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Then it’s over to AEW, where All In felt like an adrenaline-fueled fever dream: think Ospreay & Swerve vs. the Bucks, Dustin Rhodes' big moment, and Okada rewriting the AEW main event scene.
