The Smark-Casual Wrestling Podcast

🎙️ BONUS EPISODE! 🎙️

In this special bonus edition of The Smark-Casual Wrestling Podcast, we put our wrestling knowledge and opinions to the test with some blind rankings! 👀🔥

The challenge is simple: we each have to rank 10 WWE and wrestling superstars from 1-10... before we know who the next name will be. Sounds easy, right? 😅 Think again.

First, Iain takes on Daniel's list of female superstars, ranking legends and modern stars completely blind. 🤼‍♀️🏆 Then the roles are reversed as Daniel tackles a mystery list of male wrestlers. 🤼‍♂️❓

Expect wrestling icons 🌟, forgotten favourites 👏, some seriously left-field picks 🤯, and at least one ranking that's guaranteed to spark debate among wrestling fans. 🍿🔥

Did we get it right? ✅❌ Who would make your top 10? 📝

🔥🎙️ The Smark-Casual Wrestling Podcast is celebrating the women’s division this week, and for good reason! 💪👑 After a pair of brutal No DQ wars 💥🪑 and a show-stealing championship main event 🏆, WWE's women's roster proved once again that they're producing some of the very best action in wrestling right now. 🤼‍♀️🔥

🇮🇹 Giulia and Blake Monroe absolutely battered each other on SmackDown 💣😱, while Bayley and Lyra Valkyria matched that intensity on Raw in another hard-hitting No DQ clash 🪑💥🔥. All four women leave the week looking stronger than ever 💪⭐, and if this is the standard going forward, we're all in! 🙌

Meanwhile, Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch tore the house down in a Women's World Championship main event 🏆🚨🔥, delivering another reminder of just how stacked the division has become. And then there's Tiffany Stratton... 💖💰📈 still lurking with the Money in the Bank briefcase. ⌛💼 When will she cash in? 🤔 Who's the target? 🎯 And just how many fake-outs, teases and near-misses are we going to get before she finally pulls the trigger?! 😅👀💥

Elsewhere, we're still firmly ride-or-die for The Last Real Good Guy™ 😇☝️. Sami Zayn's Raw promo was another masterclass 🎤👏 and further proof that he's operating at the absolute peak of his powers right now. ❤️🏆 Long may the title reign continue! 🙏🔥

🏆🎮 In the main event, Iain puts his newly won Baron Corbin Invitational Championship on the line against Daniel in a Guess Who showdown for the ages! 🤔🎤 Will the champion survive his first defence? 😬🛡️ Or will Daniel snatch the gold at the first opportunity? 👀🏆

📲 Follow us everywhere: @smarkcasualpod

This week Daniel and Iain discuss Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton 🐍🏆, a feud that has been dragging to varying degrees through the whole of 2026. Whilst it's good we're not still suffering through the Pat McAfee worked-shoot rubbish from WrestleMania 🎤🙄, we're still ready for this feud to be over and done with. And if nothing else, it needs more personal venom 😡, especially considering the 20+ year history the two rivals share.

Elsewhere, we're loving Sami Zayn & Roman Reigns' interaction on Raw ☝️🩸 and Roman has FINALLY gotten involved with The Bloodline and The 946 🔥. More wrestling-adjacent feuds and brawls 👊 and less gangland B-movie vibes 🎬 see this feud looking better than it was and, let's face it, that's a low bar to clear! 😅

In the women's division 👑 we're loving Liv Morgan and Chelsea Green's story as they head towards Crown Jewel 💎, especially after a dream team of Chelsea and Iyo defeated The Judgment Day on Raw 💚⚡. The same can't be said though for two other women's storylines as Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch vs Stephanie Vaquer are both failing to live up to expectations 📉. Iain wants Bayley to move to SmackDown 🔵 and Daniel wants new merch for Vaquer!! 🛒😂

In our Main Event 🎙️🏅, the boys battle it out in another round of Guess Who ❓ as they compete for the newly named Midcard Quiz Championship 🏆🤓!

Money in the Bank Review! | The Smark‑Casual Wrestling Podcast

After a busy week in real life, it has taken us almost as long to drop this episode as it took Je'Von Evans to set up the biggest ladder in the world on Saturday! But here - eventually - is our take on Money in the Bank 2026 and believe me, we have some thoughts on THAT ambulance stunt in the main event...

In other news we have 2 new briefcase holders, a new Women's World Champion and whole load of crazy (and terrifying!) bumps to talk about!

As Sanjay is off for the next few weeks the Mid-Card Quiz Championship is back on the line as Daniel and Iain face off in an attitude-era coded game of Guess Who!

#wwe #moneyinthebank #cashin #wrestling #top10

This week’s episode begins on a sombre note. The wrestling world was shaken by the sudden passing of Benjamin Satterly — PAC, formerly Neville — at just 40 years old. We take a moment to reflect on his legacy, his impact across WWE and AEW, and the matches that defined his blistering, uncompromising style. No speculation, no rumours — just respect for a performer who gave everything every time he stepped through the ropes.

From there, we shift into lighter territory as Money in the Bank continues to take shape. The Women’s World Heavyweight Championship picture gets even more intriguing with Stephanie Vaquer set to face Liv Morgan or Becky Lynch… or maybe both. Meanwhile, Oba Femi looks ready to bulldoze his way through the Vision’s entire stable, starting with Bronson Reed.

The ladder matches are almost locked in, with only two qualifiers left — and we explore the outside‑chance chaos of Johnny Gargano or Candice LeRae sneaking in despite the looming meddling of Sami Zayn. Plus, we dive into the wonderfully ridiculous gang‑war energy on Raw, because sometimes wrestling is at its best when it’s being completely unserious.

To close, Sanjay serves up a Liv Morgan‑themed quiz question as Daniel and new quiz champion Iain go head‑to‑head once again.

⚔️ Time for WarGames: Armageddon?🎙️

Sami Zayn’s WWE Championship reign has officially outlasted his infamous 9‑day run… and we’re celebrating every second of it! 🎉🏆 This week, we break down his latest defence against Kevin Owens 🤼‍♂️ — including the three‑count that never was 😱 — before diving into just how STACKED the SmackDown main event scene looks right now. With at least six legit contenders circling 🔥, is it time to throw them all into a double‑ring, double‑cage WarGames match at Survivor Series? 🛎️ Two rings. One cage. Armageddon 2000 vibes. We’re ready. 💥

Elsewhere on the card, we talk another standout night for Penta on Raw 🔥, the newest Money in the Bank qualifiers 💼⬆️, LA Knight trying his absolute best to carry a feud solo (YEAH!) 🎤, and everything else that jumped out from a busy week in WWE. 📺

In the main event, Iain steps up to challenge quiz champion Sanjay 🧠👑 as Daniel tests their knowledge on the history of the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match… 💼👩‍🚀

🔥¡Viva México y Cero Miedo! │ The Smark‑Casual Wrestling Podcast 🎙️

WWE’s trip south of the border delivered one of the hottest weekends of the year 🔥, and we’re breaking down every major headline coming out of Mexico City 🇲🇽.

We have a NEW WWE Champion in Sami Zayn 🏆, we didn’t see it coming (well… maybe Daniel did 👀). We dig into what this shock win means for the WWE Championship picture and why a mouth‑watering showdown between 2‑time Champion Zayn and a certain Tribal Chief at Crown Jewel already feels inevitable ⚔️.

Then we dive into the match that shook Mexico: Roman Reigns vs Penta 🤘, a Cero Miedo masterclass that pushed the crowd through agony and ecstasy 😱✨ and delivered a genuine Match of the Year contender. On the same show, Chad Gable and Dragon Lee tore the house down with their own MOTY‑level banger 💥🐉.

And while the weekend belonged to Mexico, we also celebrate Stephanie Vaquer 🌟, who captured the Women’s World Championship in a house show in her home country of Chile — adding even more shine to an already electric week across Latin America ⚡.

To close the show, Sanjay puts his quiz title on the line 🏅 against Daniel, as Iain challenges them to remember some of the shortest title reigns in wrestling history — including a few that lasted only minutes ⏱️.

🔥 Here’s Johnny! — The Smark‑Casual Wrestling Podcast 🎙️

Johnny Gargano is BACK. He’s awake, he’s wrestling, and he’s still absolutely magic between the ropes. After over six months in a catatonic state, Johnny Wrestling returned on Friday in a stellar WWE Championship match with CM Punk — and we’re celebrating every second of it. What’s next now that he’s (hopefully permanently) awake? We dig into the possibilities.

Then we break down SUNday Night’s Main Event, featuring:

• 🥇 A brand new United States Champion
• 💪 The return of Big Bronson Reed, looking and sounding better than ever
• ⚡ A DQ finish in Oba Femi vs Bron Breakker
• 👀 A chaotic 6‑woman tag where Tatum Paxley accidentally cost her team

Plus, we look ahead to two massive shows in Mexico City. Which titles could realistically change hands? Will Penta get a clean shot at Roman Reigns? Will the Bloodline interfere? Or will Royce Keys & The 946 leave everyone laying?
“No‑one is safe,” Keys warned… and we believe him.

To close the show: Quiz Time!
Sanjay defends his championship, Iain steps up as challenger, and Daniel has a VISION for a devilishly tricky question.

🔥 Royce Keys: Blurred On His Hands │ The Smark‑Casual Wrestling Podcast 🎙️
This week we dive straight into the cold open of Monday Night Raw 🔥, where Royce Keys and his new stable left the Usos laid out backstage… or at least the parts Netflix let us see 👀. With faces blurred to a ridiculous degree, we break down this new wave of censorship 🚫 and how it undercut an otherwise strong opening.

We also get into the optics of Jacob Fatu cutting an impromptu promo 🎤 while a women’s match waited in the ring — a choice that definitely raised eyebrows 🤨.

Then it’s time to preview SUNDAY Night’s Main Event 🥊 — four matches, three we’re genuinely excited for 😁, and one we’re absolutely not 😬. You already know which one.

In the quiz, Daniel defends his crown 👑 against Sanjay, with Iain throwing out a question on the history of SNME 📺.

🔥 From Bloodline to Mudline — The Smark‑Casual Wrestling Podcast 🎙️
This week, we dive into Royce Keys’ big return — complete with a fresh crew of heels — and break down why the new stable works, and how it could muddy the waters for the Bloodline’s face/heel dynamic just when things were finally starting to look clear.

Then we get stuck into a match of the year contender from Smackdown, where CM Punk retained the WWE Championship against Kevin Owens after Sami Zayn fully embraced the dark side. We look at just how stacked and vibrant Smackdown’s main event scene is… compared to Raw’s much thinner landscape.

Over on Raw, we’re already bored of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament, even if Rey Fenix vs Dragon Lee delivered an absolute banger.

And in the quiz, Sanjay demands Justice for Sami, while Iain and Daniel rack their brains trying to recall Zayn’s long list of opponents.

🎙️Chelsea, Chelsea, I Believe! | The Smark‑Casual Wrestling Podcast

🔥 WWE Championship hype! We dive into this Friday’s huge CM Punk vs Kevin Owens showdown — the personal jabs, the tension, the storytelling, and our predictions for how it all plays out. Will Sami Zayn try to “fall out of the sky” just like Punk once did to him? 👀

💙 Chelsea Green appreciation hour! We break down her emotional Smackdown promo, the serious twist in her character, and why we’re relieved she’s still the WWE Women’s Champion. Where does her story go next? Is Nia Jax the first challenger? And how long until Tiffany Stratton snaps and turns heel? 👑🔥

💥 Bloodline brilliance on Raw! The best segment in ages — and Solo Sikoa is absolutely cooking. We can’t get enough. 🩸

🏆 Quiz Time! Sanjay defends his trivia championship against Daniel in a battle featuring some of WWE’s older roster members. It gets competitive fast… ⚔️😂

Follow us everywhere! @smarkcasualpod

Kevin Owens and CM Punk kickstarted their feud with one of the most intense promo battles of the year — and with rumours of real‑life animosity 👀 bubbling underneath, it’s starting to spill beautifully onto the screen.

Chelsea Green’s week has been rough: an orbital bone injury 😣 and a pinfall loss less than seven days after winning the WWE Women’s Championship 👑. Smart booking or momentum killer? We get into it.

SmackDown delivered big: Tatum Paxley gets the call‑up 🚀 and Charlotte Flair vs Jade Cargill brought that heavyweight, big‑fight energy 💥 the division needed.

Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton are finally starting to right the wrongs of WrestleMania ✨, while Solo Sikoa is thriving in his new comedic, pew‑pew persona 🤣🔫… but is a Bloodline reunion REALLY what he needs right now? 👀🩸

Bron Breakker had a standout night on Raw 💪 and looks to be on a collision course with The Ruler 👑 — and then it’s QUIZ TIME. Sanjay finally puts his quiz championship on the line 🏆 against Iain as Daniel drops a very, very HEAVY question ⚖️.

CM Punk (c) vs Cody Rhodes — Undisputed WWE Championship
Punk shocked everyone by taking the title from Sami Zayn, and now Rhodes finally gets the shot he was owed. Massive stakes, massive history.

Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi — Hell in a Cell
The rubber match. One win each, now locked inside the Cell. Femi gave up a world title shot just to fight Brock again — that says everything.

Liv Morgan (c) vs IYO SKY — Women’s World Championship
A Queen of the Ring rematch with Sky looking to repeat her tournament victory, and Morgan defending on TV for the first time in months.

Gunther vs Nick Aldis
Aldis makes his WWE in‑ring debut after years in TNA/NWA. Gunther wants to smash the newcomer’s momentum before it even starts.

LA Knight, Solo Sikoa & Royce Keys vs The Bloodline (Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso & Jacob Fatu)
A wild six‑man tag with Bloodline chaos guaranteed. Fatu’s rise continues, Knight’s popularity keeps booming.

The Bella Twins & Paige vs Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid)
Nostalgia vs new blood. Fatal Influence bring the momentum, but the Bellas and Paige bring star power.

🌙 Night 2 — Sunday, Aug 2
Roman Reigns (c) vs Seth Rollins — World Heavyweight Championship
Former Shield brothers collide again for one of WWE’s biggest prizes. Fourteen years of history, betrayal, and dominance.

Interim Women’s Championship Ladder Match
Charlotte Flair vs Jade Cargill vs Tiffany Stratton vs Chelsea Green vs Mystery Opponent
With Rhea Ripley injured, five women climb the ladder for interim gold. Flair’s legacy, Cargill’s power, Stratton’s momentum — chaos incoming.

Finn Bálor vs Sami Zayn — No. 1 Contender’s Match
Winner gets a future Undisputed WWE Championship shot. Zayn’s redemption arc vs Bálor’s veteran precision.

Penta (c) vs Chad Gable — Intercontinental Championship
Gable’s technical mastery vs Penta’s explosive style. Sleeper match of the weekend.

Trick Williams (c) vs Baron Corbin — United States Championship
Trick continues his rise with another big defence, Corbin tries to derail the hype train.

Danhausen vs Dominik Mysterio
A bizarre matchup with guaranteed shenanigans. Danhausen curses, Dom complains — perfect mid‑card chaos.

🎙️ Plus in the episode…
We talk booking logic, momentum, who needs the win, and who WWE might actually pull the trigger on across both nights. And yes — we have got lots to say about THAT Danhausen & Joe Hendry concert from Raw, because… wow.

🎙️ Saturday Night’s Main Event Fallout 🔥

This week we dive into everything from Saturday Night’s Main Event — and we’ve got strong thoughts on that Roman Reigns 🐐 / Jalen Brunson 🏀 show‑closing segment. Luckily, the rest of the card delivered: Punk & Cody’s friendship 🤝 is cracking, and Nick Aldis lit the fuse for a huge Gunther 💥 SummerSlam clash by costing him the main event.

We finally have new Women’s Tag Team Champions 🏆, and a battered, bloodied Lyra Valkyria 🦅 stole the show in her war with Bayley. We also break down the frustrating use of Interim Champions 🤦‍♂️, before getting into the increasingly blurry face/heel dynamics in the Bloodline 🩸 — a direction helping absolutely no one.

In the quiz, Daniel puts his newly won Trivia Championship 🏅 on the line against Sanjay… inside Hell in a Cell 🔥🩸.

Follow us everywhere: @smarkcasualpod 📱

This week we’re stepping away from the bright main‑event spotlight ✨ and giving the midcard its moment 🎯. We always race toward the big hitters and world‑title drama… but not this time. We’re digging into the stories, the wrestlers, and the angles that quietly keep the show moving — and maybe deserve a little more attention than they get 👀.

We break down the Intercontinental 🏆 and United States 🇺🇸 championship pictures, and look at what WWE needs to do to revive its neglected Women’s midcard divisions. Plus, we’ve got Saturday Night’s Main Event predictions 📅 and a Bron Breakker‑themed quiz 🐺 where Iain puts his trivia title on the line against Daniel 🧠⚔️.
