## Resource

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine break down the biggest stories in wrestling this week. Did CM Punk beating Sami Zayn for the WWE Championship hit as hard as it should have? They dig into the crowd reaction and the build leading up to it, then contrast how WWE handles its veteran stars versus AEW's approach to legacy talent. Plus: is Kenny Omega actually walking out of his next title match as AEW World Champion, or is this all just a setup for a rematch at Redemption?
