On this week’s episode of The Two Count, we break down one of the biggest weeks in recent memory across WWE and AEW, including major roster cuts, backstage reactions, and the fallout from WrestleMania.

We start with the shocking wave of WWE releases, and the biggest question surrounding the cuts: who made the call? Was this a creative decision led by Triple H, or a business move from WWE leadership?

We also discuss the release of notable names like Kairi Sane and Aleister Black, and whether WWE made a mistake letting proven talent go.

Following the backlash, Nick Khan publicly defended Triple H, raising questions about WWE’s internal structure and whether the company is unified behind its creative direction.

We also dive into Pat McAfee opting out of post-WrestleMania plans, and what that could mean for his future involvement with WWE after a polarizing run on television.

Plus, we break down the influx of NXT call-ups to the main roster, including Sol Ruca, Joe Hendry, and more, and whether WWE is positioning the next generation for success or rushing talent too quickly.

We also discuss SmackDown moving back to a 2-hour format, and whether the change will improve pacing or expose roster depth issues.

In one of the biggest storyline developments, Roman Reigns accepts Jacob Fatu’s challenge for Backlash, setting the stage for a major main event clash.

We also take a closer look at Oba Femi’s open challenge, and whether it’s an effective way to build a star or just a lazy booking tactic.

Over in AEW, we discuss Darby Allin’s first week as AEW World Champion, and whether the company got his title reign off to a strong start.

Finally, we react to comments from Fox Sports’ Rob Parker, who questioned why grown men watch professional wrestling, sparking a broader discussion about how wrestling is perceived in mainstream media.
