When a 6th Grade Science Experiment conducted by his teacher went severely wrong, Priest James Rivera had to fight. With a 50% chance to survive, while in the hospital and after undergoing his third surgery, Priest discovered his "Burn Moment."

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Dominik Mysterio on Rey Mysterio, Building His Own Name, Hard Truths about WWE & WrestleMania WinApr 14, 2026

A family-name story that becomes a straightforward look at proving himself.

Dominic Mysterio's story stays tied to the basics: wrestling as part of his life, school not really fitting, and the weight of carrying his dad's name while trying to build his own. What lands is the plainness of it.

Kelvin Gastelum on His Adesanya WAR, UFC Comeback & Why Fighting Wasn’t EnoughApr 6, 2026

A candid fight conversation that turns the Adesanya bout into a reflection on identity and what the sport asks of a person.

This episode feels less like a highlight reel and more like a candid conversation, following Kelvin Gastelum from wrestling practice and an early taste for brawling into MMA and then the UFC.

Mikaela Mayer on Her Olympic Journey, Handling Defeat, & Why She Almost Signed with BellatorFeb 10, 2026

A steady, unsentimental look at how Mayer keeps turning setbacks into leverage.

Mayer comes off as someone who has spent years learning how to use pressure. The episode stays close to the road from the Olympics through the fights and career turns that shaped her, and it works best when she is plain about the stress, the mismatch with a coach, the pull back…

Cody Brundage on Short Notice Fights, Khamzat vs DDP & How His Daughter Changed Everything | Ep. 44Aug 13, 2025

A short-notice UFC chat that folds in chaos, the Apex, and family life.

The episode follows Cody Brundage through a short-notice UFC booking and the steadier mindset that comes from having done this before. He says the call came on Monday, points back to a debut that was even shorter notice on Wednesday, and uses both to frame how he is approaching…
