Ep. 430: Throwback – Royal Rumble 1999

Tights and Fights is on TikTok! New videos will be posted throughout the week. 

A number of wrestlers have been released from their former places of employment. AEW’s Miro, Ricky Starks and Malachi Black are gone; WWE’s Sonya Deville, Authors of Pain, Paul Ellerig, Cedric Alexander, and Isla Dawn are gone.

And while we know that Ricky Starks is NXT bound as of this past Tuesday, where does everyone else fit into the landscape?

Plus, it’s official: Jey Uso will face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Champion! Will this be his true solo ascension? 

And speaking of titles, we’ve got thoughts on where the men’s and women’s Intercontinental champions should go from here. 

The road to WrestleMania is here!
