    # Inside The Square: The Wrestling Podcast Episode 10 - Production Notes

    This episode of Inside The Square wrestling podcast covered five matches from WWE Saturday Night Main Event programming. The notes document key storylines, match quality assessments, and notable crowd reactions from the broadcast.

    ## Match Coverage Summary

    The episode analyzed matches featuring both established main event talent and rising stars. Cody Rhodes appeared in the opening segment against Oba Femi, delivering what the host assessed as exceptional in-ring work that was unfortunately undermined by a controversial finish involving Drew McIntyre's interference. This match established the quality benchmark for the episode, as Rhodes and Oba Femi demonstrated strong chemistry before the interference angle shifted focus to the ongoing Rhodes-McIntyre rivalry.

    Bayley faced Sol Ruca in the second featured match, which received similarly high marks for match quality. The host noted that Sol Ruca's imminent promotion to the main WWE roster was evident from her performance level and presentation during this bout. The technical execution and storytelling throughout this match reinforced the host's view that it represented pure cinema-quality professional wrestling.

    The tag team match pitting AJ Styles and Dragon Lee against Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater generated significant discussion due to its pacing issues. While the bout itself earned praise as a banger with impressive athletic sequences, the host expressed frustration that Evans and Slater received an excessive five-minute advantage period before their opponents entered. Despite this structural concern, the match ultimately delivered on intensity and went into what the notes describe as a crazy final sequence.

    R-Truth, Joe Hendry, and The Miz worked together in a segment that the host characterized as pure gold. The appearance of Joe Hendry at Saturday Night Main Event particularly excited the reviewer, suggesting this represented meaningful exposure for Hendry on WWE's premium programming platform.

    The main event featuring John Cena versus Gunther received the most extensive commentary in the notes. The host praised this as another pure cinema match befitting the Saturday Night Main Event stage. However, the most memorable aspect proved to be the shocking post-match angle where John Cena appeared to tap out to Gunther, creating a moment of stunned silence from the WWE audience. The crowd's reaction evolved from the silent shock through chants of profanity directed at Gunther to eventually adopting the hashtag Thank You Cena. This complex crowd response suggested the angle successfully generated the intended emotional impact, even if the immediate reaction included negative sentiment toward the heel's victory method.

    ## Analytical Themes

    Throughout the episode notes, the host consistently evaluated matches on their storytelling quality and in-ring execution while tracking how current matches position wrestlers for future programs. The references to "pure cinema" for multiple matches indicated a high standard being met in terms of match construction and dramatic presentation. The host demonstrated particular interest in how Saturday Night Main Event showcased both current storylines and talent who would soon transition to more prominent roster positions.

    # Inside The Square: The Wrestling Podcast - Episode 9 Analysis

    This episode covers several significant storylines and matches from All Elite Wrestling, focusing on championship reigns, historic feuds, and emerging talents in the promotion.

    ## Kazuchika Okada's Championship Run

    The episode opens with discussion of Kazuchika Okada's remarkable current run in AEW. He is approximately two years into his championship reign, holding three championship belts simultaneously. While this accomplishment is noteworthy and demonstrates his dominance in the promotion, the podcast notes that he is expected to relinquish all championship belts in the near future. This lengthy reign has established Okada as a central figure in AEW's championship picture.

    ## The Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland Rivalry

    The second major topic addresses what the podcast considers one of the greatest feuds in AEW history. Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland have delivered exceptional matches, including a Texas Death Match and a Lights Out Steel Cage Match. The podcast emphasizes that their in-ring chemistry and storytelling were at peak levels during their initial series of matches. The hosts argue that AEW should revisit this feud, as the quality of their previous encounters warrants another chapter in their rivalry.

    ## Kyle Fletcher versus Kevin Knight

    The third segment discusses a standout match on AEW programming between Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight. Both wrestlers are identified as future main event stars for the promotion, demonstrating strong in-ring abilities and storytelling capabilities. The podcast highlights their potential to become significant performers in AEW's future landscape.

    ## Ricochet and Ace Austin for the AEW National Championship

    The fourth topic examines a match that the podcast believes deserves more attention. Ricochet faced Ace Austin for the AEW National Championship in what is described as an overlooked bout. The match quality was exceptional, and the podcast suggests AEW should present a rematch. The discussion notes that WWE did not adequately promote Ricochet based on his height and physical size, whereas AEW is providing significant opportunities for both Ace Austin and Ricochet, allowing them to showcase their abilities on a major platform.

    ## Eddie Kingston and Samoa Joe

    The final segment previews an anticipated match between Eddie Kingston and Samoa Joe. While the podcast expects this to be an excellent match, there is concern about the creative direction. Specifically, the use of Hook as a storyline element may negatively impact Eddie Kingston's character presentation. The podcast worries that this booking decision will position Kingston as a heel who feeds his family, which may not be the most effective use of his character in this particular feud.

    The episode provides comprehensive coverage of current AEW storylines while offering critical analysis of booking decisions and match quality across the promotion's programming.
