On this W2M episode, we discuss what it means when ESPN Makes a WWE Vertical on their website. Does this mean that WWE will be treated the same way as other sports on ESPN? Could this extend to ESPN wanting WWE television content in the future? Will ESPN be allowed to be negative about WWE in their coverage? Or will this prove to be a promotional tool. We discuss these questions and more on our special topic.

Then we get into the wrestling news in “Quick Hits.” Paige has serious injuries. Will Ospreay to work the Ring of Honor overseas tour. CMLL officially announces a partnership with ROH. The Wrestlemania 33 Weekend indy shows have released and we discuss potential shows we might go to there. Buff Bagwell files a class action lawsuit against WWE. TNA could be in trouble with their TV deal in India, and more.

Next, we discuss the latest from WWE NXT and the WWE Cruiserweight Classic.

After that, we delve into TNA Impact Wrestling and the debut of the former Damien Sandow, plus a big title match between Bobby Lashley and James Storm.

Finally, we have our W2M Power Rankings to close out the show.
