  Kevin Knight Is Fighting for Respect + Wrestling’s Celebrity Problem

  Sep 8, 202639 min

  When does a celebrity actually help professional wrestling—and when are they just taking somebody else’s spot? Battle and Josh debate Lil Yachty, Bad Bunny, Logan Paul, Jelly Roll, Pat McAfee and the celebrity appearances that worked, along with the ones that never should’ve touched a WrestleMania main event. Then AEW’s Kevin Knight joins Battle ahead of Rebel Heart Dynamite. “The Jet” discusses losing the TNT Championship to Darby Allin, stepping into the ring with Kenny Omega, fighting for respect, training under Shibata and whether he would put his own partner Kyle Fletcher through a table.

  NWA World Women’s Champion Tiffany Nieves: Grand Slam Gold, Making History & Taking Over

  Sep 3, 202629 min

  NWA World Women’s Champion La Princesa Tiffany Nieves joins Battle for an interview that quickly goes completely off the rails. Tiffany talks becoming a Grand Slam Champion, making history in the NWA, the road that brought her to the top, beating cancer and the deeper meaning behind “Stay Beautiful.” Plus, she explains why nobody in the NWA works harder than La Princesa — and why Battle apparently should’ve been booking her trip to Puerto Rico instead of asking questions.
