If you’re looking for no-nonsense pro wrestling analysis mixed with some classic humor and blunt honesty, The Bryan & Vinny & Craig Show has you covered. This latest FREE episode dives into two major shows from the weekend: WWE SmackDown and AEW Collision. While SmackDown delivered a handful of solid moments, it was weighed down by a barrage of commercial breaks. Meanwhile, Collision proved the stronger show overall, thanks to a wild Toni Storm segment and a must-see match between Dax Harwood and Wheeler Yuta. Even better? This full episode is free to stream—no subscription needed.
SmackDown Recap: Solid Segments Lost in Ad Space
This week’s SmackDown wasn’t without its highlights, but as Bryan, Vinny, and Craig noted, the flow of the show was seriously hurt by the relentless commercial interruptions. While fans were treated to some decent in-ring action and forward movement in a few ongoing storylines, the constant breaks made it hard for any momentum to build.
Among the better segments was the continuation of LA Knight’s rising star push, as well as appearances from top names like Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. But overall, the guys agreed that this was far from a must-watch episode.
Collision Highlights: Toni Storm Shines and Dax/Yuta Steal the Show
In contrast, AEW Collision turned heads with strong storytelling and standout wrestling. The spotlight was firmly on Toni Storm, whose promo was described as “wild, unhinged, and absolutely entertaining.” Her evolving persona continues to be one of the most compelling aspects of AEW’s women's division.
The in-ring highlight, however, came with Dax Harwood facing off against Wheeler Yuta. According to the crew, this was a “GREAT match,” showcasing classic technical wrestling and hard-hitting exchanges that had fans buzzing. Both men brought intensity, and the chemistry was undeniable, adding to what’s already shaping up to be a promising angle within the AEW landscape.
“If you watch one match from the weekend, make it Dax vs. Yuta,” said Bryan Alvarez during the episode.
