The UFC's most patriotic card ever has a main event built backwards — the American hero is a massive underdog on the White House lawn, and the deeper you dig into the matchup, the stranger the booking looks. Dave Simon and AJ D'Alesio go fight by fight through all seven bouts at UFC Freedom 250: two title fights, a co-main the oddsmakers flat-out refuse to call, and the underdog play Dave calls his boldest of the show.
• The one question the entire main event hangs on — and why nobody can answer it until Sunday
• A retirement theory about one headliner that changes how you'll watch the walkout
• The interim heavyweight pick'em that splits Dave and AJ completely
• Dave's underdog pick of the show — a Canadian the books are sleeping on at +320
• The gimmick fighter Dave can't stand... and can't stop picking
• The corner change in Chandler vs Ruffy that might decide the fight before it starts
• The opener where both guys land on the same upset
• Two parlays for the card: one sane, one that turns $20 into more than $330

Dave Simon and Johnny North on the week WWE spent in Italy, and turned a throwaway tournament into the most important thing on the show. Every first-round King and Queen of the Ring match is a fatal four-way; the winners get a SummerSlam title shot, and Dave has thoughts about all of it.
• Why WWE is booking every first-round match as a four-way is either genius or held together with tape
• Oba Femi passed his biggest test yet — and there's a Brock Lesnar shadow over the whole men's bracket
• The SmackDown four-way ended with a winner nobody had circled going in
• The Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins finish that you have to go back more than 25 years to explain
• The take that starts the arguments: Roman Reigns is a heel, and the crowd hasn't caught up yet
• What Roman is actually doing to Jacob Fatu — and why LA Knight is the only one saying it out loud
• LA Knight or Seth Rollins for the King of the Ring? Two completely different SummerSlams
• Dave names the single best in-ring performer in all of WWE — and it might surprise you
• The WWE glass ceiling: why women have to earn it, and certain men get to fail upward
• MJF's knee is in real trouble heading into Forbidden Door — is it a work or the real thing?
• Mercedes Moné is back in the Owen Hart Cup, and the women's bracket finally has a star
• Kevin Knight turns heel, joins the Don Callis Family, and complicates a Montreal hometown moment

WrestleMania 42 Night One is in the books, and the honest grade is 6.5 out of 10. Cody Rhodes retained the WWE Championship in a bloody, shenanigan-filled main event over Randy Orton. Paige made an emotional return, teaming with Brie Bella to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships in the most genuine WrestleMania moment of the night. Bron Breakker came back and cost Seth Rollins the World Heavyweight Title. Liv Morgan became the new Women's World Champion. Becky Lynch is a three-time Women's Intercontinental Champion.
But both Dave and Ben Simon are left with the same feeling walking away from WrestleMania 42 Night One: this felt like a very expensive SmackDown. About 95 minutes of actual in-ring wrestling across a four-hour broadcast. Fifty thousand announced, down from 63,226 at Night One last year. Commercial breaks on constant rotation. The same three Hulk Hogan Netflix clips are airing between every match. No backstage legend segments. John Cena, as host, showed up twice and seemed like he'd rather be anywhere else.
Dave and Ben break down every match, talk about what WrestleMania is missing compared to its best eras, react to Bianca Belair's pregnancy announcement, discuss whether Pat McAfee is actually gone from wrestling forever, and preview Night Two in full — Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar, CM Punk vs Roman Reigns, Jade Cargill vs Rhea Ripley, Je'Von Evans in the IC ladder match, and what's at stake in every bout.
