WOR: WWE booking, road to Fastlane, The Undertaker

Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back. This is a very WWE news heavy show. We talk about why Raw was booked the way it was and some reasons why Vince McMahon may be frustrated. We discuss the news coming out of Smackdown Live, but Dave and Bryan will have a review of the show tomorrow night. We look at the NXT guys who recently came up and what their schedules may be like in the near future. And then we try and figure out what the Fastlane card is so far.

Dave talks about what he’s seen from the Giant Baba Memorial Show, his early thoughts on Will Ospreay versus PAC, and finally we end with a question about the Phil Donahue episode.
