2026-04-12 WOL: AEW Dynasty Preview and the Bizarre WrestleMania Build

Andrew Zarian is back with another episode of Wrestling Observer Live's Sunday edition, featuring the latest news in professional wrestling. I start by talking about Pat McAfee's interjection into the main event of WrestleMania and speculating why WWE is going in this direction. I break down this week's SmackDown show, where McAfee doubled down on his promo from last week, and try to make sense of this direction heading into WrestleMania. AEW Dynasty is today. I break down the card and discuss the direction they are heading towards, All In this summer. Will MJF still be the champion, and which match will be pivotal in setting their plans in motion going into Double or Nothing? Plus, Mask vs. Mask in AAA, Gable Steveson in UFC, and more!
