Ricky Starks, Miro, and Malakai Black Leave AEW. Plus, Jey Uso–Gunther Official for ’Mania.

Ben, Khal, and Brian kick off the show by talking through what the pro wrestling feud equivalent of the Kendrick Lamar–Drake beef is. Then they are joined by David to recap Raw.

• Then, in Nostalgia Freakz, they revisit the night Shawn Michaels “lost his smile” (39:38) before reacting to a They Said What?! question from you, the people, on which wrestlers should perform their entrance music as they enter the ring (51:12).

They close the show by discussing why Ricky Starks, Malakai Black, and Miro are parting ways with AEW and what their paths to WWE could look like (59:08).
