Solomonster reviews NXT Stand & Deliver 2022, the biggest event yet of the NXT 2.0 era, as a matinee show before Night One of WrestleMania 38.  Featuring a surprise finish and Triple H making an appearance to send his last soldier from the Black & Gold era of NXT off on his inevitable voyage to the WWE main roster.

Solomonster opted to review WWE Smackdown and AEW Rampage for April 1st instead of watching the ROH Supercard of Honor show, and quickly realized that he made a terrible mistake.  It's a WrestleMania-edition of Smackdown with this year's Andre the Giant Memorial "Budget Cuts" Battle Royal, and the Intercontinental title being defended because it has developed a sudden allergy to the actual Mania card.  On Rampage, it's a hoss fight between Keith Lee and Powerhouse Hobbs.

Solomonster previews both nights of WWE WrestleMania 38 and gives predictions for all of the matches/segments on the show.  They're calling this year's WrestleMania the most STUPENDOUS of all time, which is defined as something that is "extremely impressive".  This is hardly an "extremely impressive" lineup, but that doesn't mean there aren't things to look forward to and he runs down what those things are.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for March 30th featuring the debut of Toni Storm as she becomes the first woman to qualify for the Owen Hart Cup tournament.  A lot of good wrestling up and down the card with Bryan Danielson bringing the best out of Wheeler Yuta and FTR teasing a split from MJF and The Pinnacle, plus answering your questions.  It's the first in a ridiculously busy week of streaming. 💪🏻

It was the END OF AN ERA this week with the announcement that Triple H, really the last of the semi-active names from the Attitude Era, has officially retired from the ring and will never wrestle again.  It's been six months since we've gotten any sort of update after his "cardiac event" and he spoke at length this week about suffering from heart failure and how truly close to death he came.  Solomonster has all the details, addresses the elephant in the room, talks about what his true legacy will be and runs down some of the best matches of his career.  Plus, the 2022 New Japan Cup winner is crowned... Big E talks addresses how close to tragedy he came with his broken neck... Shad Gaspard receiving the Warrior Award at this year's WWE Hall of Fame... Toni Storm on her way to AEW this week?... Paul Wight bringing CAPTAIN INSANO to AEW television... JJ Dillon sues Kevin Sullivan in Steve Harvey's court (yes, this is a real thing)... Seth Rollins still searching for his Wrestlemania match... the greatness of STONE COLD KEVIN OWENS... Bobby Lashley back on Raw tomorrow night... the Intercontinental and US titles being left off both nights of Wrestlemania and how to fix that, at least with the US title... NXT STAND & DELIVER 2022 PREDICTIONS... and a review for the WWE Evil documentary on Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown and AEW Rampage for March 25th with one week left before Wrestlemania 38.  Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns carry the show once again with little else to get excited about, while over on Rampage, AEW turns into a bloody mess.  Also, the first qualifier is announced for the Women's Owen Hart Cup tournament teasing a new female signing... could Toni Storm be on her way in?  Also includes thoughts on Triple H announcing his retirement from the ring.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for March 23rd with the first CM Punk appearance since his win at Revolution, plus Sting and Darby Allin team with Matt and Jeff Hardy for the first time, and two former Ring of Honor World champions square off with Adam Cole taking on Jay Lethal.  Visit magicspoon.com/solomonster and use the code SOLOMONSTER to get $5 off your purchase of Magic Spoon cereal!
