Did you know AJ Lee had a stalker who makes creepy AI videos and got jumped?

The episode opens with the hosts discussing a disturbing online story about former WWE star AJ Lee having a stalker who creates AI videos. They then transition to wrestling analysis, debating a hot take that NXT 2.0 has produced more main roster stars like Tiffany Stratton and Bron Breakker than the NXT Black and Gold era. The conversation shifts to John Cena being announced as the host of WrestleMania, speculating on his segments and attire. Tiffany Stratton's stated goal to be in Hollywood by age 30 is analyzed, with the hosts questioning its wisdom. A major focus is the build to the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, which the hosts criticize for being overcomplicated with too many elements like Pat McAfee, Matt Cardona, and Jelly Roll. Pat McAfee's return promo on SmackDown is dissected, leading to a discussion about the 'new kayfabe' in wrestling that blends real-life elements. The hosts cover other WWE news, including Gunther attacking Seth Rollins, Oba Femi's confrontation with Brock Lesnar, and the Usos losing the tag titles. They briefly touch on AEW, noting Chris Jericho's return in Winnipeg and the build to MJF vs. Kenny Omega at Dynasty. Historical anniversaries like WrestleMania 12's 30th anniversary are mentioned. The episode concludes with a plug for an Oasis Pro wrestling event.
