About this listen

The first On Da Mark Wrestling Podcast of 2026 is here! 🥂


Luis and Kayode break down a packed week in professional wrestling, starting with WWE RAW’s first episode of the year at the Barclays Center — including the Stranger Things Netflix crossover, CM Punk vs Bron Breakker, Becky Lynch regaining gold, and why the New York crowd felt unusually quiet.


We also dive deep into:


NXT call-ups like Oba Femi, Trick Williams, and Je’Von Evans — who’s ready and who still needs seasoning


AEW World Champion MJF and whether a long heel title run through All In makes sense


Willow Nightingale as double champion — star power vs promo struggles


Andrade El Idolo’s latest return and whether this is his last real shot


Royal Rumble season memories, predictions, and classic Rumble recommendations


Plus: thoughts on AEW booking philosophy, WWE’s future star pipeline, and why refs need to stop looking clueless in 2026.


💥 New year, same real wrestling talk.

Subscribe for weekly breakdowns, debates, and no-nonsense takes from fans who’ve watched it all.
