The Barber's Chair Network

The episode kicks off with a buzzworthy revelation from The Rock, who appeared on Pat McAfee’s show. He shared insights about TKO executive chairman Ari Emanuel’s call for ticket sale assistance and teased ideas involving Cody Rhodes and John Cena. The hosts explore The Rock's vision of Cody selling his soul to the “final boss” and Cena’s long-awaited heel turn. Cena reportedly loved the creative twist, wanting it to mirror his real-life experiences, but the hosts feel the story’s execution fell flat.
Shifting gears, the duo criticizes Travis Scott’s involvement in the Cena storyline, stating it distracted from the wrestling narrative. They also discuss Paul Heyman’s new Dangerous Alliance, featuring names like Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, and brainstorm potential members, emphasizing the group’s need for devious, powerhouse characters.
The WrestleMania 41 recap takes center stage, spotlighting the women’s triple threat match between Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley. The hosts laud the match’s chemistry and high stakes, with Sky shining as a breakout star. They also praise Bianca Belair for turning a hostile crowd in her favor.
While high points like Dominick Mysterio’s Intercontinental Championship win earn applause, matches like Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest and Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles draw sharp critique. Lastly, the episode teases Rusev and Aleister Black’s returns and offers thoughts on WWE’s new reality series, “Unreal,” with skepticism about its appeal. #theFBCPod
