Sami Zayn is champion again
On this episode of Stick to Wrestling, 98.5 The Sports Hub’s James “Jimmy” Stewart breaks down a wild week in WWE — starting with Friday’s SmackDown from Mexico City, where Sami Zayn dethroned CM Punk in a chaotic Undisputed WWE Championship main event. Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, and Kevin Owens all got involved. The finish was messy. The title changed hands. And Zayn is a two-time champion after a nine-day first reign that he has not let anyone forget.Then the focus shifts to Monday’s Raw, also from Mexico City, where Roman Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Penta. The Mexican Destroyer vs. The OTC. A hometown-style crowd. A title match WWE has been building for weeks through a luchador tournament. Stewart unpacks whether this is a showcase or a real threat to Reigns’ reign.Plus: the backstage layer. WWE President Nick Khan just called Triple H the best creative mind in all of wrestling and said the company cannot live and die by social media. Publicly, it’s a united front. Privately, the question hanging over Stamford is whether business priorities and creative vision are always pulling in the same direction — and what that means for title pictures that keep flipping, talent getting squeezed into big-city specials, and who actually has the last word when a finish goes off the rails.Hot takes. Boston energy. No kayfabe required. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
