Rachel recruits Ben to join her for a super special I LIke Wrestling episode breaking down every moment of the wedding of the century. The dynamic duo discuss why its ridiculousness resonated so much with at least one of us, parallels between superstars in 2008 and today, and the layers of kayfabe in the Unreal docuseries.

TKO’s latest “business move” announcement about PLEs switching to ESPN+ spurns strong reactions among the group and might even be the nail in the coffin on at least one of our relationships with the WWE.

This week on ILW Lounge, everything's going through changes — from Rachel’s major life announcement to the shocking death of Ozzy Osbourne.

Evolution 2.0 blew away expectations and outshined nearly every PPV in recent memory, prompting the ILW Lounge crew to dedicate a full episode to the all-killer, no-filler event. Despite a rocky build and a cringey toy-centric opening that left Rachel nervous, every match delivered—and then some. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die, and Evolution 2.0 might've just made a few new ones.

Other top-of-mind questions include: Is the on-screen product suffering from the age-old issue of quantity over quality? What if Cena’s Retirement Tour is just The Hero’s Journey in disguise?
