Get ready for a nostalgia-packed episode of Living Room Lariat as we preview Saturday Night’s Main Event — and it’s stacked with FOUR championship matches!
In this week’s show:

Former Sportsnet 960 wrestling commentator Peter Klein previews tonight's WWE Monday Night Raw (3 things to watch: Boots tease mystery, Jey Uso vs CM Punk build, Penta vs Rusev IC title contender match) and recaps NXT Halloween Havoc weekend (Tatum Paxley's surprising title win, Sol Ruca/Zaria breakup coming, Ethan Page main roster ready).

TONIGHT ON RAW - 3 THINGS TO WATCH:

• Boots tease - Is it Brock Lesnar? (Hopes not - don't want Bron/Bronson in Brock's shadow)
• Jey Uso heel turn in full effect - CM Punk feud begins
• Penta vs Rusev for IC #1 contender (but WWE won't give us a clean winner)

NXT HALLOWEEN HAVOC RECAP:

• Tatum Paxley new NXT Women's Champion - Peter digs it as a developmental move
• Kelani Jordan wins NA title (needed after lackluster Jordynne Grace feud)
• Sol/Zaria breakup is coming and Peter doesn't want it to happen
• Ethan Page is main roster ready NOW
• Trick Williams should move up to main roster

WWE is pulling out all the stops this weekend — and we’re breaking it all down. In this WWE-focused episode of Living Room Lariat, Peter Klein previews a stacked slate of events, including the Great American Bash, Saturday Night’s Main Event, and the highly anticipated Evolution show.

Plus, a full WWE RAW recap to tie it all together and set the stage for what’s coming next on the road to SummerSlam. Which superstars are rising? Who needs a reset? And how do these events shape the women's division and main event scene going forward?

Get Peter’s deep, thoughtful breakdowns — no hot takes, no clickbait, just real analysis for true wrestling fans.

AEW's biggest show of the year is here, and with it, a chance to finally correct course. In this AEW-focused episode of Living Room Lariat, we kick things off with a big-picture look ahead to All In, dive into a full health check on AEW's creative and roster direction, and finish with a detailed match-by-match preview of the All In card.

Host Peter Klein explores why this is AEW’s chance to fix mistakes from the last 18 months and truly launch a new era — but also why the path ahead is far from guaranteed. Is the momentum real, or just a temporary high? Can they finally reclaim their creative spark and deliver for their passionate fanbase?

No hot takes — just smart, in-depth analysis you won't hear anywhere else.

This week on Living Room Lariat:

We break down all the fallout from WWE Night of Champions — big title changes, surprise finishes, and what it all means heading into summer storylines.

Then, a full analysis of WWE NXT: a new number one contender emerges, big shifts in character arcs, and what the future holds for the brand’s main event scene.

Finally, we dive into AEW Dynamite: Okada and Ibushi shine, major stipulations get set, and storylines heat up as we build toward All In.

Serious analysis, smart storytelling breakdowns, and no cheap hype — just real pro wrestling talk for real fans.
