On this W2M episode, we discuss the big news that broke on Tuesday of Roman Reigns Suspended 30 days for his first WWE Wellness Policy violation. Did WWE know before RAW aired? How does this impact the company and Reigns the wrestler? Will this hurt the WWE Battleground PPV and the upcoming WWE Draft? We discuss all the things involving this big news.
We also talk about the list that shows there will be more WWE Pay-per-views. Do we think there will be 18-20 shows a year now? Is this really a good idea for WWE to do? Could they run into a burnout situation? We think the latter may be the case.
We start things discussing more wrestling news in “Quick Hits.” The WWE Cruiserweight Classic has their announce team. The WWE could be thinking about potential pricing tiers for the WWE Network. Ricochet still undecided on his future with Lucha Underground. Ring of Honor heading to the FITE TV application. ACH set to make his debut in Pro Wrestling NOAH and much more.
Next, we discuss the happenings of WWE NXT and Lucha Underground.
Then we get into a little TNA Impact Wrestling.
Finally, we do our W2M Power Rankings to end the show.

Sean Garmer
Sean studied Journalism at the University of North Texas. Sean loves pro-wrestling so much that he even trained to be a wrestler at the age of 17. Though he eventually had to quit wrestling to go to college, he still returned to do play-by-play commentary, help write storylines, and most of all, to watch matches. Sean started his love of pro-wrestling at the age of five after watching a Hulk Hogan match. Due to his family hating sports-entertainment, there were many years he missed. However, he returned full-time to being a fan in the late 1990’s. Since then, Sean has gone on to write for various wrestling websites in a number of capacities, but he discovered his true passion, Podcasting, two years ago when he and Gary started the Wrestling 2 the MAX Podcast.
Gary Vaughan
Gary is a native North Texan with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Texas. His time in college actually rekindled his love of pro wrestling he had lost somewhere along the way. Gary’s enjoyment of the sport began around 1996. As a fan, he has become a student of the wrestling business and gains knowledge through many platforms. WCW is dear to his heart because of it being his introduction to the scene. Now, Gary is a proud podcast host, as well as a writer for wrestling columns.
Paul Leazar
Paul has a history degree from the University of North Texas, but right now works at a Comic Book store. He was born an’ raised in the great state of Texas, and began his love affair with pro wrestling at the tender age of five after watching WWF’s Summerslam 1993 pay-per-view. The relationship turned serious with the growth of independent wrestling and the internet in the early 2000’s, which has seen the love affair turn into a full blown addiction that led him to write about it sporadically for various websites, and co-host the Wrestling 2 The Max podcast.
