🕯️ Ringside Heat — September 30, 2026

1️⃣ We remember Benjamin Satterley — PAC, formerly Neville — one of the most gifted athletes of his generation, whose career stretched from Newcastle to WWE, NXT, AEW, and the global wrestling stage.

2️⃣ We honor Andy “The Butcher” Williams, the metal musician who chased a second dream in professional wrestling and became a beloved part of AEW’s tag division.

3️⃣ We reflect on just how small and connected the wrestling world really is — and what the lives of PAC and The Butcher remind us about friendship, vocation, mortality, and making the most of the time we’re given.

🎙️ The house feels smaller tonight.

1️⃣ We mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, remembering the 2,977 lives lost, the courage of first responders, and the powerful role WWE SmackDown played two days later in helping people gather, grieve, and begin to heal.

2️⃣ Title Changes: Sami Zayn regains the Undisputed WWE Title, Stephanie Vaquer wins the Women’s World Championship in Chile, El Grande Americano becomes AAA Mega Champion!

3️⃣ We remember Canadian boxing legend George Chuvalo — the heavyweight who was never knocked down in 93 professional fights, fought Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman, and later turned unimaginable family tragedy into decades of anti-drug advocacy.

🎙️ Memory. Gold. Resilience. This week on Ringside Heat.

1️⃣ Lex and Chico recap AEW All In, and particularly break down the debut of Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed as the New Level in Tony Khan's promotion, Mercedes Mone finally winning the AEW Women's World Championship after her own expedition of gold (so to speak), Will Ospreay winning the AEW World Championship in his home country, and the return of Dr. Britt Baker, DMD, after 655 days on hiatus!

2️⃣ We also talk about the strength of the AEW Tag Team division, as Cage and Cope are surrounded by multiple legendary tag teams as soon as they were crowned champs!

3️⃣ John Cena continues to grow his apparently special relationship with Toronto's wrestling fans as after his meet-and-greets, he runs his own convention appearance and answers the fans' questions without a moderator!

2️⃣ We break down the luchador tournament and ask the big question: who is most likely to step up and challenge Roman Reigns for the championship?

3️⃣ We preview Sunday Night’s Main Event, spotlight local wrestling with The Big Event anniversary and Classic Championship Wrestling at the CNE, and remember Dolly Parton’s wonderfully strange 1980s wrestling connection with Hulk Hogan.

🎙️ Canada, lucha, legacy, and a little Dolly. That’s wrestling, baby.

🔥 Ringside Heat — August 4, 2026

1️⃣ Lex and Chico recap SummerSlam weekend — the results, the fallout, and the moments that may shape WWE’s road into the fall.

2️⃣ Did SummerSlam live up to the hype, or did the spectacle outshine the storytelling? We break down what hit, what missed, and what actually mattered.

3️⃣ We preview Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling Mayhem, the new weekly TV show coming to TSN, and spotlight two featured matches we’re especially looking forward to.

1️⃣ Cody Rhodes vs. CM Punk brings intrigue, but Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins turned their World Heavyweight Championship contract signing into a scathing, personal, Shield-haunted war of words.

2️⃣Raw showed why character development still matters: Maxxine Dupri’s heel turn gave Austin Theory new heat, Otis got his heart stepped on, and Chad Gable’s El Grande Americano redemption earned him an Intercontinental Title shot against Penta.

3️⃣ Saturday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden could reshape SummerSlam, with Danhausen’s New York crossover magic, Fatal Influence chasing the Women’s Tag Titles, Lyra Valkyria unraveling against Bayley, and the Undisputed Title scene becoming beautifully chaotic.

- Sami Zayn's 9-Day reign as WWE Undisputed Champion. What worked? What isn't working? What does it set up?

- What does the picture look like going into Saturday Night's Main Event on July 18 from Madison Square Garden, and how would it look heading into the first two-night WWE SummerSlam?

- Is a romance storyline between Austin Theory and Maxxine Dupri what Theory and The Vision need to finally break out as a stable, especially surrounded by Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul and Paul Heyman?

1️⃣ Danhausen has become WWE’s most improbable crossover star, bringing casual fans in and old fans back through character work, curses, comedy, and the Knicks’ historic NBA Championship run.

2️⃣ El Grande Americano vs. OG El Grande Americano proved that the wildest wrestling ideas can become magic when everyone commits — even a lucha honor match for Mexico between two men who aren’t Mexican.

3️⃣ Wrestling doesn’t need to become normal to go mainstream. It needs to be bold, committed, entertaining, and unapologetically itself.
