WrestleRant Radio - August 9, 2018: Why WWE Needs Paul Heyman

Before breaking down the past week in WWE, Graham "GSM" Matthews starts off WrestleRant Radio with everything you need to know about the upcoming 2018 Mae Young Classic! From who will be announcing the matches to which notable names have recently been added to the brackets, he gives an early preview of what to expect from the star-studded women's tournament.

In his review of Raw, GSM pulls no punches about the current dreadful state of the show including a boring Baron Corbin vs. Roman Reigns match, why 50/50 booking doesn't do anyone any favors, why Bobby Roode defeating Mojo Rawley accomplished nothing, a rare mention of Dean Ambrose, the return of Ruby Riott, Paul Heyman's brilliant performance (in addition to thoughts on why he and Brock Lesnar shouldn't be split up) and Ronda Rousey's in-ring debut in the main event.

Thankfully, he has plenty of praise Tuesday's editions of SmackDown Live and 205 Live which featured Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz being made official for SummerSlam, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch teaming up, AJ Styles responding to Samoa Joe, new No. 1 contenders to the SmackDown Tag Team Championship being crowned, Zelina Vega and Lana facing off in a rematch, Sean Maluta making an appearance, Hideo Itami and Mustafa Ali ripping it up, and much more!
