Ahead of FXE's Crush Live event this Sunday, February 18th in Hendersonville, TN, Connor Casey joins Graham "GSM" Matthews on WrestleRant Radio to discuss the event in depth, what fans can expect, his role at the show and how Marvel's Kingpin has influenced his character, getting into the business, forming a faction, ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis making his in-ring debut at the event, and more!
From there, GSM and RJ Marceau discuss the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl (again), the fallout from the buzzworthy WrestleMania 40 press conference, what The Rock and Roman Reigns will have in store for SmackDown on Friday, more teases of a tag team match with them, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, if Rock could face Randy Orton at 'Mania instead, Rollins' great promo with Rhodes on Raw, Drew McIntyre being the odds-on favorite to win the men's Elimination Chamber, why it's egregious that Bronson Reed failed to qualify and his bizarre booking on the main roster so far, Jey Uso set to challenge Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship, if LA Knight is still on track to face Logan Paul for the United States Championship at 'Mania, what Sami Zayn's role at the event will be, and who will fill out the women's Elimination Chamber.
