Is SmackDown embarrassing Raw right now? As the year kicks off, the blue brand feels sharper, tighter, and more purposeful—while the rest of WWE spins its wheels. We ask the uncomfortable question: has SmackDown become the best weekly wrestling show, and if so… how did Raw fall this far behind? But this episode goes deeper than bad scripts and lazy booking. What if the biggest problem in wrestling isn’t the writers or the bookers at all—but the talent? With guaranteed contracts, minimal consequences, and no real fear of losing their spot, has the locker room lost its edge? Where’s the desperation? Where’s the hunger? Where’s the fire? We don’t sugarcoat it: are today’s wrestlers soft? Or is this just what happens when competition, pressure, and accountability disappear? We compare eras, call out excuses, and challenge the modern mindset that “good enough” is acceptable. This one isn’t safe. It isn’t polite. And it definitely isn’t for everyone. If you’re tired of watered-down wrestling and even more tired of watered-down opinions—this episode is for you. So sit back and relax and thank you for letting us into your ears.
