Chris Jericho just flipped the board. On AEW Dynamite, in his hometown of Winnipeg, the most rumored “WWE return” of 2026 turned into something else entirely—Jericho walked back into AEW, declared he was “home,” and immediately walked out again… leaving fans, critics, and both locker rooms scrambling to figure out what it actually means. Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams break down the backlash, the business implications, and why this moment hit both AEW diehards and WWE loyalists right where it hurts. Plus—has Will Ospreay unlocked a more dangerous version of himself, and why does Jon Moxley continue to feel like three different characters fighting for control at once?Then, the conversation takes a serious turn. The deeply disturbing allegations brought forward by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon and WWE continue to send shockwaves through the industry, raising difficult questions about power, accountability, and what comes next for wrestling at the highest level. The hosts approach the situation with the gravity it deserves while still doing what SDSUMO does best—cutting through noise, calling it how they see it, and refusing to gatekeep the conversation. And somehow, in the middle of all this chaos… did Don Callis just troll Blade Daily on April Fool’s Day? Yeah. We’re dealing with that too.Give us a 5-star review wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a comment!
