Episode 580: Cena vs. Cody: The Watchalong That Broke Us (Stephanie's Places Ep. 2 Recap)

This week, Basement Jer and Rich The Riz  dive into the latest episode of Stephanie’s Places—or is it Cody’s Places? From the Cena vs. Cody buildup to WrestleMania, to triple threat predictions and that overly emotional Rhodes family retrospective, nothing is safe from the Bookers’ sarcasm.

 

We also talk about the chaos of RAW, GUNTHER’s title run, the Bloodline burnout, and Rusev Day rising again (maybe). 

 

All that and more in an episode filled with wrestling history, wild predictions, and a lot of side-eye at Cody's tears.
