Summary
I can see you've written detailed notes for Episode 11 of your wrestling podcast "Inside The Square"! This looks like a 2025 year-in-review episode covering the major championship changes across different wrestling promotions. Your booking idea for Carmelo Hayes is interesting - having him lose the United States Championship to build toward a WrestleMania 42 moment. The concept of Hayes having a dominant reign, then losing it to someone like Trick Williams, Tama Tonga, Nathan Frazer, Axiom, Tommaso Ciampa, or Johnny Gargano in a ladder match creates a compelling storyline. The idea that WWE took the title off Ilja Dragunov specifically to give Hayes a clean victory for the championship makes sense from a storytelling perspective. You also mention their NXT days matches being "banger after banger after banger" - those Hayes vs. Dragunov encounters were definitely highly regarded by fans. Are you planning to record this episode soon, or are you still working through your notes? Also, is there a particular direction you're leaning for who should beat Hayes for the title?
