AJ Lee returns to the ring for the first time in a decade, so Rachel and Audio Ben throw it back to the Divas Championship match that put her and Paige on the map. We revisit Paige’s iconic 2014 debut, compare it to Fighting with My Family (including that Vince Vaughn performance), and ask what makes wrestling stories hit—or miss—in film. Plus, why Cena getting destroyed by Brock Lesnar was the best thing that ever happened to him. THREADS @ilwpod RACHEL’S THREADS @rpolansky77 AUD...

Evolution 2.0 blew away expectations and outshined nearly every PPV in recent memory, prompting the ILW Lounge crew to dedicate a full episode to the all-killer, no-filler event.
