WOL: How will 2025 trends affect wrestling in 2026?

It’s the last WOL Saturday of the year with Jim Valley.

Today’s show looks ahead at what could happen in 2026, back at 2025 and some trends that aren’t going to go away simply because the ball dropped in Times Square.

We’ll preview AEW’s World’s End PPV. Prediction: people will complain that it’s too long – AGAIN.

For better or worse, a lot of this year’s trends could also affect 2026.

Carmelo Hayes had a great match as he pinned Ilja Dragonov for the US Title. Definitely of a very standard episode of Smackdown. We’ll take a look into our crystal ball and see what could lie ahead for wrestling companies all over the world in 2026.
