The Ringer
About this episode

As the days wind down to WWE’s massive ’SummerSlam’ event in Detroit, Rosenberg and SGG discuss the following on today’s episode:

  • Rosenberg’s announcement regarding a special ‘Cheap Heat’ contest and how you can enter for a chance to win a MAJ prize (11:57)
  • Just a few weeks into their marriage, Misshattan has already left Rosenberg (15:45)
  • The Battle Royal match that Rosenberg and SGG spend way too much time talking about (27:46)
  • An all-MMA rules matchup between Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler and what the heck that even means (33:53)
  • If Logan Paul has any chance of finishing his match quickly in Detroit so he can hop on a jet to go support his brother Jake in his boxing fight in Dallas (40:00)


Plus, there’s something going on backstage with LA Knight and Troy The Goy has a new book! If you wish to pre-order his wacky self-improvement book, “Surrender: A Guide to Living Your Best Life in Your Twenties,” you can get the paperback on Barnes & Noble or the e-book on Amazon.

Hosts: Peter Rosenberg, Greg Hyde

Producer: Troy Farkas
