Pacerpoints EP 2 – All things wrestling

Welcome back to Pacerpoints!

For this episode, I am joined by the Pacer’s Arts and Entertainment editor, J.J. Somerville. Wrestling has entered a new era of unpredictability. Nikki Bella returned to the ring but received negative reactions from the audience instead of positive ones. AJ Lee returned and locked in at Wrestlepalooza to partner with her husband, CM Punk, for their match against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. The wrestling world also witnessed an unforgettable contest between Iyo Sky and Stephanie Vaquer.

The WrestleMania 47 event in Saudi Arabia raises a fundamental question about whether it represents a historic achievement or simply a financial opportunity. We also discuss AEW alongside memories of classic NXT matches and additional content.
