The Dirty Sheets

The next chapter in wrestling kicks off with Backlash, with WWE turning the page on its calendar while also dealing with the fallout of WrestleMania 42.
Newly crowned Champion Roman Reigns has his first title defence, and it’s a family affair with Jacob Fatu, challenging his cousin for the title. Four other matches are scheduled, mostly featuring feuds that have been in the works long before WrestleMania.

Billi deep delves into what could lie ahead for Jacy Jayne, who only debuted 2 weeks ago, but who seemingly already has more heat than anyone else on the WWE roster. Can the WWE capitalise and get things right from this point?

From the moment she arrived in NXT, Jacy Jayne stood out with a ruthless edge, undeniable confidence, and a talent for seizing every opportunity.

As part of Toxic Attraction alongside Mandy Rose and Gigi Dolin, Jayne helped reshape NXT’s women’s division, dominating as one half of a top-tier tag team. But her most defining moment came when she betrayed Dolin in brutal fashion — slamming her through the set of Ding Dong, Hello! and launching a new era of her career.

Now leading the charge with Fatal Influence — alongside Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx — Jayne has taken her game to a whole new level. That rise culminated when she stunned the NXT Universe by defeating Stephanie Vaquer to become NXT Women’s Champion.

Later than advertised due to some HUGE NEWS that I exclusively broke on The Wrestling Informer, that I wanted to let marinate for a couple of days This part looks at the WWE Meet & Greets and WrestleMania 42 Night 2, and gives your star ratings.
As you know, WrestleMania 42 Night 1 has been universally panned, so it was important to convey the feel and vibe after Night 1, and separate that from how most felt after Night 2– which certainly positively impacted and changed the overall feel of the week. This podcast takes much more of an overall overview of both shows and the entire weekend in general. 

This is the first of two parts, with part two dropping tomorrow. This part looks at the WWE Hotel x Fans situation - including the CM Punk incident (which I witnessed live) - returning to Vegas and WrestleMania 42 Night 1.

As you know, WrestleMania 42 Night 1 has been universally panned, so it was important to convey the feel and vibe after Night 1, and separate that from how most felt after Night 2– which certainly positively impacted and changed the overall feel of the week. 

After days of digging and speaking to multiple sources, I can now drop this bombshell episode— which I wanted to drop for free, so as many people can hear it as possible. You are all being lied to, and it’s time to stop letting the bias wrestling media outlets control the narratives.

This podcast reveals the real FACTS behind the McIntyre/Cody/Orton/Fatu situation, that the WWE and the Cody-bias wrestling media don’t want you to hear. 

The most ridiculous and delusional wrestling awards are back, and despite being panned by almost everyone with a shred of common sense, Meltzer had the audacity to say these were the “best received awards” ever. Obviously this guy doesn’t look beyond his own bubble of braindead unwashed virgin subscribers - who he leads towards voting for what he wants anyway - but he also has the warped sense of self-importance to present these awards as some type of official barometer for the year that was— despite the fact that 90% of wrestling fans won’t even be familiar with either the “wrestler of the year” or the “promotion of the year.”

Billi looks back at the year that was 2025, and previews the upcoming Year End Awards— with all the nominations and categories revealed on this show. 

How heavily did your opinion of the year overall hinge on the post-success of it’s biggest singular moment— the John Cena heel turn? Was it inevitably a walking dead year if that story failed, or did the WWE make several other significant mistakes before and after? Did AEW do enough to close the gap, while WWE were undoubtedly experiencing a creative slump? 

Billi preview tonight’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, emanating from the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C— a somewhat surprising location for John Cena's retirement match. The G.O.A.T will take on Gunther in a match that is set to become a classic. As huge as Cena's retirement match is, that's just one of the interesting matches on tap.

Saturday Night's Main Event match card (matches not in order)
World Heavyweight Championship match: CM Punk vs. Jey Uso
Undisputed WWE Championship match:Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
WWE Women's Championship match: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill
Triple threat match for Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Rusev vs. Penta

Billi returns to discuss the week that was in wrestling. Coming off a solid Crown Jewel, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed’s attack on Seth Rollins to close out Raw will undoubtedly dominate the chatter in the wrestling world, which, aside from AJ Lee’s return, hadn’t happened too much in recent months. It piqued interest in “what happens next” and raised questions about the future of the World Heavyweight Championship. That should mean more eyeballs on the product.
