## Resource

This weeks Hitting The Marks is loaded with the kind of seismic moments that remind you why pro wrestling is at its absolute best when chaos, betrayal, and momentum collide. Randy Orton's shocking turn on Cody Rhodes. The Viper didn't just strike-he rewrote the entire road to WrestleMania in one cold, calculated moment. We break down the psychology, the timing, and what this means for Cod's trajectory as the stakes get higher than ever. Then we shift to the collission everyon'es talking about: The Beast vs The Ruler. Power, legacy, dominance-this matchup isn't just a fight, it's a statement. Finally, we head into the fallout from AEW Revolution, where the dust hasn't even settled and the entire landscape already feels different. Surprises, swerves, emotional peaks, and the kind of storytelling that sets the tone for AEW's next chapter. Analysis. Perspective. Storytelling. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just the conversation that Hits The Marks.
