What a wild and crazy storyline! Vince McMahon just announced that Becky Lynch won't be in a match against Ronda Rousey and instead it will be Charlotte. No wait, it was that same angle but with Kofi instead of Becky, Daniel Bryan instead of Ronda and Kevin Owens instead of Charlotte. All on the same page? Good. Well strap in as you're going to get Luke and Laurie do the intro and outro, but Oli Davis do the Smackdown review with Luke. We're just as bad as WWE, I guess.Also Laurie gives his thoughts on Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Yes that's right, Oli Davis wanted to talk about SPOILER returning to WWE rather than Roman Reigns being medically cleared. The monster. Though Luke and Oli do talk about that as they break down a mixed bag episode of Raw, with a lot of great but also a lot of fluff. Bad fluff too.Watch the video version of the WrestleRamble hereJoin the WrestleLeague and become a Pledge Hammer on Patreon hereFollow Luke Owen @ThisIsLukeOwenFollow Oli Davis @OliDavis00:17 - Intro11:56 - **SPOILER** RETURNS To WWE!29:04 - $25+ Pledge Hammer Shoutouts30:04 - WWE Raw, Feb. 25, 2019 Review1:13:15 - Outro**Timings may be off by a couple of minutes (maybe even several) depending on advert placement  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

**THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED BEFORE WWE ANNOUNCED THE RETURN OF ROMAN REIGNS**What a crazy week this was for WWE! The panic reset button was once again pushed and we had the NXT call-ups of Ricochet, Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. And now it's being reported that these four men will be on Raw, Smackdown AND NXT going forward. So what's next for them? Luke and Oli break down the biggest news story of the week, and go through your Crap Gimmicks and Mailbag questions.Watch the video version of the WrestleRamble hereJoin the WrestleLeague and become a Pledge Hammer on Patreon hereFollow Luke Owen @ThisIsLukeOwenFollow Oli Davis @OliDavis00:17 - Intro11:28 - What Next For The NXT Call-Ups?34:26 - Crap Gimmick Wrestling43:05 - Mailbag54:17 - Outro**Timings may be off by a couple of minutes (maybe even several) depending on advert placement  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cor blimey! There was only a bloomin' title change on NXT this week! How will this affect the main roster call ups of Johnny Gargano, Ricochet, Aleister Black and Tommaso Ciampa? Well, probably not seen as though none of that has made sense so far. Luke and Laurie review this week's NXT including a great match between Black and Roderick Strong and a not so good match between Mia Yim and Xia Li.Watch the video version of the WrestleRamble hereJoin the WrestleLeague and become a Pledge Hammer on Patreon hereFollow Luke Owen @ThisIsLukeOwenFollow Laurie Blake @ElFakidor00:17 - Intro09:21 - Huge title change!25:44 - NXT Feb. 20 2019 Review45:38 - Outro**Timings may be off by a couple of minutes (maybe even several) depending on advert placement  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Those NXT call-ups weren't just for Christmas (Raw), they were for life (Smackdown)! But where they better than they were on Raw? Luke and Oli break down the show, which also included Mandy Rose pinning Asuka.

Yeah, this is one of those Negative Nancy episodes, particularly from Oli's viewpoint as he has called this "the worst episode of Raw I have ever reviewed". So strap yourselves in!

Luke and Laurie sit down to talk about one of the biggest wrestling news stories of the week - and there is a rumour floating round that WWE are set to merge the women's roster across both shows.

Well, it looks like Becky Lynch is out of the WrestleMania main event. I guess that's sorted, then. Can't see this storyline changing any time soon... There's also some other stuff that happened, but nothing as important as Charlotte Flair replacing Becky Lynch in the Ronda Rousey match. Well, apart from new tag team champions...Watch the video version of the WrestleRamble hereFollow Luke Owen @ThisIsLukeOwenFollow Oli Davis @OliDavis00:17 - Intro11:45 - What Next For Becky Lynch29:36 - $25+ Pledge Hammer Shout Outs30:46 - WWE Raw, Feb. 11, 2019 Review01:02:14 - Outro**Timings may be off by a couple of minutes (maybe even several) depending on advert placement  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sorry this is a day late - we do explain our reasons why. Anyway, Luke and Laurie are here to talk about this week's NXT and the rise of Io Shirai in the Women's division.

Even with the filler shows, Smackdown Live is still better than Raw. Nothing really newsworthy on the show, but it was still a fun watch! Luke and Oli review a show that features a great Becky Lynch segment, a fun Randy Orton match and a brilliant Daniel Bryan promo.Watch the video version of the WrestleRamble hereJoin the RambleRun hereFollow Luke Owen @ThisIsLukeOwenFollow Oli Davis @OliDavis00:17 - Intro11:17 - Why SmackDown Is Better Than Raw! 25:43 - $25+ Pledge Hammer Shout Outs26:58 - WWE SmackDown, Feb. 5, 2019 Review01:03:58 - Outro**Timings may be off by a couple of minutes (maybe even several) depending on advert placement  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ronda Rousey certainly was acting a bit heel-ish on this week's Raw - and is that a sign of things to come? Luke and Oli discuss in the Raw review as well as talk about the Becky Lynch and Stephanie McMahon segment, whatever that Elias/Jarrett match was, and Oli loses his mind over Nia Jax being in the Black History Month video. Because of course he does. Also, although there is a threat of a fire alarm, everything is perfectly fine and you get both your intro and outro!Watch the video version of the WrestleRamble hereFollow Luke Owen @ThisIsLukeOwenFollow Oli Davis @OliDavis00:17 - Intro11:45 - Is Ronda Rousey Turning HEEL?!24:20 - $25+ Pledge Hammer Shout Outs25:41 - WWE Raw, Feb. 4, 2019 Review!01:13:23 - Outro**Timings may be off by a couple of minutes (maybe even several) depending on advert placement  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
