Wrestling Observer Live: A new era for WWE

I am back with another Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, discussing the latest news from the past week in professional wrestling.

I kick off by sharing my thoughts on Dave Meltzer’s star ratings from last weekend’s WWE WrestleMania 40, offering insights on night two and the potential directions emerging after the weekend’s events.

I then talk about Friday’s WWE SmackDown which kicked off the next chapter of The Bloodline storyline. Tama Tonga made his debut, attacking Jimmy Uso and aligning with Solo Sikoa, who now appears poised to become the new head of the table. I explore the implications and potential outcomes coming out of Friday.

Jon Moxley’s IWGP World Championship victory at Windy City Riot in Chicago is also covered. I discuss potential future opponents for Moxley, and highlight Jack Perry’s heat-inducing entrance in Chicago.

We also do an early look at next Sunday’s AEW Dynasty, Big E’s health update, Kenny Omega’s comments on Brawl Out, AEW’s decision to air the Perry/CM Punk pull-apart finish and more.
