This week on W2M, Lucha Underground returns to television and we got it covered, we discuss the week that AJ Styles has had in WWE, Shinsuke Nakamura has been confirmed to be coming to NXT Takeover Dallas and we go over the rest the card for that, we also discuss who could show up from NXT on the RAW after Wrestlemania 32.

Speaking of Nakamura, we also preview the NJPW Road to New Beginning 1/30, which is his final appearance for New Japan before he heads to WWE. That’s not all though, we have a bunch more stuff on the show.

Of course, we start things by discussing the wrestling news in “Quick Hits,” we discuss the NXT Takeover stuff here, Gallows and Anderson possibly coming to the main roster directly, Ultima Lucha being four hours, Sheamus being injured, Sinclair buying the Tennis Channel and what that could mean for Ring of Honor, ReDragon and Jay Lethal re-signing with ROH, Jeff Hardy re-signing with TNA and more.

We move on to answer our questions about WWE RAW and then move onto this week’s NXT.

We are so happy that Lucha Underground is back and we have the first review of Season 2 right here.

This is where we preview the 1/30 NJPW New Beginning Show and Sean gives some information on some former stars that could return to New Japan soon.

Then we finish out with a look at this week’s ROH TV, we discuss Impact on POP TV, and our W2M Power Rankings (yes, we are actually ranking them this year.)
