MOW 53 - Backlash France, Omega’s Imminent Return, McMahon Lawsuit Update, Hogan Clickbait and more!

This week, AEW co-founder and top star, Kenny Omega made a return to television in his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba.  During the appearance, Omega shared an update on his physical condition, but also put on a pretty intense performance leading to hope for a swift return.

WWE Backlash absolutely rocked France and anyone who watched the show.  Just before that, it was discovered that more WWE talents and prospects were released or didn't have their contracts renewed.  The most notable was Olympic Gold Medalist, Gable Steveson.

The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer joins Mike McGuire to discuss these stories and much more including WrestleMania's Las Vegas announcement for 2025, the upcoming AEW in Canada shows for Edmonton and Vancouver, as well as an update on the Vince McMahon lawsuit, where former Vice President of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis has flipped his stance and now sides with the former owner of WWE.

Also on the show, Mike McGuire dives into "wrestling journalism", and how the desperation for clicks and clout is among the list of things that ruins wrestling - and its fans.
