JNPO: Pro wrestling year in review – A month of unthinkables

JNPO: Pro wrestling year in review – A month of unthinkables

On a new Josh Nason’s Punch-Out, Fightful’s Kate Elizabeth returns to co-host the April 2023 edition of my pro wrestling year in review series.

And what a month it was.

The day after a hugely successful WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles, the fate of WWE was announced with the news they would merge with UFC to form a new publicly traded company.

Then, there was WrestleMania itself that saw a highly controversial main event finish where Cody Rhodes did not finish his story while Roman Reigns’ record-breaking Universal title run continued.

CM Punk continued to be in the news as his AEW return, on a new show no less, was imminent. However, he decided to stop by WWE before an episode of Raw and visit some old friends before he was asked to leave.

Other topics: Impact Wrestling lost not one, but two top champions due to injury, Jay White and Trinity found new homes, Carmelo Hayes was one of several new NXT Champions, SANADA won NJPW’s top title, and plenty more.

Join Kate and I as we dive through more than 100 news items in just over an hour. I promise this is unlike any other year-end series you’ll hear or read, so catch up on the rest of the series in the archive.
