Note: this video was originally recorded in March, and was scheduled to be uploaded in April. However, the video was botched during the initial upload, and was never available to the public. After which, Sam's laptop died, and needed to be revived. A month later, he finally got around to uploading this outdated review of a game that's already been covered by everyone else, but screw it, we hope you enjoy anyway!

This week's episode focuses on the controversies surround the Royal Rumble match, Shane McMahon's return and firing within a week, and Brian Kendrick's release!   

Sam and Andy take a look at the news surrounding the critically panned Royal Rumble 2022 event, which featured victories from Brock Lesnar and a returning Ronda Rousey at each Rumble match. Shane McMahon was the producer for the men's bout, and garnered major heat backstage with how he booked the match.   

Whilst Shane McMahon was scheduled to appear within the WWE through to WrestleMania, it has since been reported that McMahon is once again out from the company, after pushing Vince to a breaking point with his backstage shenanigans.  

Brian Kendrick has been granted his release from WWE, last appearing on the NXT 2.0 and 205 Live brands, recently being booked to appear for AEW's flagship show, Dynamite. However, Kendrick's controversial opinions regarding conspiracy theories throughout history resulted in him being canned from appearing on AEW television, just hours after he was announced for a match with Jon Moxley. He has since tweeted an apology, but how will the world take it after seeing various instances of his crazy theories throughout the years?
