This week on Wrestling Tonight, Acefield Retro breaks down NXT going head-to-head with AEW Blood & Guts, WWE's instruction to load up the show and the latest ticket movement in Jacksonville. With Shot of Nostalgia Season 8 revisiting the Wednesday Night Wars, the timing couldn't be more fitting.

We also discuss Ari Emanuel's comments on Crown Jewel's status amid growing security concerns, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton's next chapter, and the early WrestleMania 43 direction involving Roman Reigns and Oba Femi.

Plus, a possible Rey Mysterio farewell in 2027, new Women's Tag Team Champions, an update on Ric Flair and a record-setting sale for a piece of Savage–Steamboat history.

Over in New Japan, Super Junior Tag League is already wide open. We check in on Nick Wayne and KUSHIDA, the crowded standings and the road to Power Struggle before previewing the week's television and what's taking shape for Halloween Havoc, Crown Jewel, Destination X and Full Gear.
