Season 6 rolls on with one of our biggest and most jam-packed episodes yet! Train Talks Podcast Season 6 – Episode 8 brings together wrestling analysis, pop-culture updates, heartfelt Thanksgiving reflections, and direct engagement with the fans. If you love deep wrestling talk mixed with real conversations and community vibes, this episode has everything you’re looking for.

We open today’s show with a full WWE Survivor Series War Games preview and predictions, breaking down the matches, the stakes, and the potential surprise moments that could change the landscape heading into the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania season. War Games is always chaotic, always unpredictable, and always a fan favorite—so the crew gives their takes on which superstars are poised to steal the show and which storylines could explode inside the double steel structure.

From who should anchor the babyface teams, to possible heel turns, to the future of the Judgment Day, the team covers it all with that signature Train Talks mix of knowledge, humor, and real fan passion.

Next, we dive into our thoughts on WWE’s “Last Time is Now” tournament, discussing what’s working, what feels confusing, and what this tournament could mean long-term for WWE creative direction. The crew also reacts to the unfortunate news surrounding Penta’s injury on WWE Raw, looking at how it affects future storylines and the ripple effect it could have across the roster.

We then switch gears to AEW with a major headline of the week: Swerve Strickland explains why he’s staying with AEW. The Train Talks crew breaks down his comments, what this means for his career, and how AEW plans to build around a star with that much crossover potential. Whether you're an AEW diehard or a WWE loyalist, Swerve's decision is a big moment in the industry, and we unpack it from every angle.

Since this episode drops during Thanksgiving week, the crew shares three things each of us is thankful for. From personal milestones, to the growth of this podcast, to the incredible Train Talks community that continues to support the show, this segment brings a warm, real, and grateful tone that perfectly matches the holiday season.

After that, we jump into a huge entertainment industry story: Is Paramount really about to buy Warner Bros.? The team discusses what this rumored mega-deal could mean for streaming, movies, TV, sports rights, and even the future of brands like DC, Nickelodeon, HBO, and CBS. It’s one of the most talked-about business stories of the year, so of course we had to break it down for the listeners.

We also get into a fun debate—Should Chris Jericho return in the Royal Rumble? The crew shares their takes on whether a surprise return makes sense, what it would do for the match, and if it’s something fans genuinely want or just fantasy-booking fun.

Then it’s time for fan interaction with Reading Train Talks Emails – Thanksgiving Edition (Part #3). Your messages, questions, hot takes, and predictions are read live on the show as we continue building a real two-way connection with our audience. The listeners make this show what it is, and this segment is always a highlight.

Before we wrap, the Train Talks crew reveals their Top 3 Christmas movies of all time, giving you the perfect holiday watchlist as we move into December. Expect nostalgia, debates, laughter, and some surprising picks.

Finally, we close the episode with an Update & Thank You segment, reflecting on the incredible performance of the Train Talks Podcast over the past two months. The growth, the listeners, the new audience members, and the returning supporters—every bit of it means the world to us. This section is our way of saying thank you for continuing to rock with us as the show grows bigger and better each season.
