The Monster Heel | #theFBCPod

WWE Backlash is in the books, and we've got a packed episode breaking it all down! Roman Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu in what might be the most important match of 2026 — but is Fatu actually the monster heel WWE needs, or is he a tweener that loses his edge the more we see him? We compare him to legends like Vader and Umaga to figure out where he fits. 

Then we dive into the John Cena Classic — a fan-voted PLE pitting NXT vs. the main roster with a brand-new title on the line. Sounds cool, but the details are thin. Is this the future of WWE storytelling or a gimmick? Plus, 30 WWE releases have hit the wire, The New Day is gone over contract disputes, and Kevin Nash is out here telling wrestlers to unionize through SAG. Is he right? We debate it. And we throw out quick predictions for the next PLE before wrapping with a "Do We Care?" segment covering The New Day possibly heading to AEW, Mason Rook in NXT, and Oba Femi's open challenge.
