Episode Synopsis

Andrew Zarian is back with the latest Sunday edition of the Wrestling Observer Live, talking all the latest from the world of professional wrestling.

Wrestle Kingdom 20 took place on Sunday in Tokyo, and it was Hiroshi Tanahashi's final match. I break down the card and talk about what's next for New Japan now that this chapter is closed. Also, the possible emergence of a new superstar in Aaron Wolf, who made his debut by winning the Never Openweight Title, and a new IWGP Champion in Yota Tsuji.

I also discuss this week's SmackDown and prepare for the Monday Night Raw Netflix anniversary show, featuring CM Punk defending against Bron Breakker.

Plus, thoughts on Collision, a preview of this week's AEW Dynamite, and more!
