    This week on the Wrestling Mayhem Show, Sorg, Mad Mike, and Rizz welcome the intergalactic tag team MDMA (El Luca & Los Tonios) for one of the most chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly insightful episodes in recent memory.

Along the way, the conversation dives into Saudi Arabia event logistics, roster usage, bonuses, and how WWE continues to evolve its premium live events.
