The road to WrestleMania 42 officially runs through Las Vegas, and the energy is hitting a fever pitch. In this episode of the 3-time award-winning Devon & The Duke, WWE Hall of Famer Devon Dudley prepares to head into the heart of the festivities. But before the lights go up in the desert, he and Duke sit down for a raw, hilarious, and wide-ranging conversation that proves why this show remains the standard for authentic wrestling media. From potential ring-side chaos to deep-dive nostalgia, here is what’s on deck for Episode 66: The Oba Femi & Brock Lesnar Speculation: As the world prepares for the collision between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, Devon teases the possibility of showing up to ensure "The Beast" walks away with the win. Is Duke finally getting under Devon’s skin enough to provoke a confrontation with "The Ruler," or is Devon just giving the rumor-mill something to chew on? Devon has a direct warning for the dirtsheets: quote him accurately and don't miss the humor. The Cody Rhodes & Pat McAfee Situation: Duke doubles down on his assessment of Cody Rhodes as a Ric Flair wannabe and an "egg sucking dog." While Pat McAfee took that exact sentiment to the global stage on SmackDown, Duke is keeping receipts. He appreciates the message being delivered to Cody’s face, but he’s calling out the lack of credit for the man who said it first. The Era of Wooden TV Boxes & UHF Dial-Turning: The duo takes a trip back to the 80s, reminiscing about the days when a family’s "entertainment center" was a 200-pound wooden box. They discuss the vanished art of wrestling fandom: wrestling with antennae and UHF dials just to get a clear enough picture to see the stars of the day. Celebrating 10 Years of Duke Loves Rasslin: Devon offers a formal salute to Duke for a decade of excellence in media and his recent landmark interview with Goldberg. Goldberg: The Man Behind the Persona: Duke provides exclusive behind-the-scenes context on his decision to pivot away from standard wrestling talk with Bill Goldberg. By focusing on Goldberg’s Jewish faith, culture, and family values, Duke captured a side of the icon rarely seen in the industry—an approach Devon notes is the cornerstone of why their partnership works so well. If you are in Las Vegas for WrestleMania 42, make sure you witness history. Devon, Spike, and Bubba Ray are reuniting at WrestleCon for a rare appearance together.

Big Vito LoGrasso is declaring that Vince Russo is officially no longer a "Friend of Ours" after a shocking betrayal that has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world.

After Russo sided with Violent J in the circus-like atmosphere of Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW), the line has been drawn in the Staten Island sand.

We’ve got one host battling a historic natural disaster and the other basically living in a Jimmy Buffett song.

Inside This Episode: The Great Blizzard of 2026: Duke kicks things off reporting live from the trenches—specifically 30 inches of snow in Boston. While Duke was busy looking like a frozen Yeti (beard icicles and all), Devon was living his best life in 75-degree Florida sunshine.

In this landmark 60th episode, the 3-time award-winning duo of WWE Hall of Famer Devon Dudley and Duke Loves Rasslin tackle one of the most polarizing conversations in the industry today. This isn't just a wrestling breakdown; it’s a "grown folk" conversation filled with nuance, history, and the intelligent perspective listeners have come to expect from Devon and Duke. The hosts dive deep into the recent controversy surrounding Kevin Nash’s comments regarding WWE Superstar Je’Von Evans, where Nash suggested the young phenom should be less "Bojangles" and more "Urban." Inside this episode: The Nash Perspective: Devon Dudley draws on decades of personal experience working with Kevin Nash to provide context on the man behind the microphone. Devon explains why he firmly believes Nash is not a racist, citing a long, documented history of Nash supporting marginalized people and minorities in the business. Poor Delivery vs. Malice: Devon breaks down how a message intended for character development was poorly conveyed, leading to a disconnect between intent and impact. Accountability in Allyship: The Duke weighs in, arguing that while we shouldn't "throw the baby out with the bathwater" given Nash’s history as a staunch ally to wrestlers of color, no one is exempt from accountability when they miss the mark. The Excellence of Je’Von Evans: Duke highlights how the 21-year-old Evans is the manifestation of generations of Black wrestlers who endured systemic racism. Because of their sacrifices, Evans is now judged solely on his "through the roof" talent—a talent that has seen him reach the WWE main roster in just two years. A Teachable Moment: The duo uses this situation to discuss broader themes of representation and assessment that apply to all walks of life. AJ Styles Retirement Scoop: In a shocking revelation, Devon Dudley shares that he has known about AJ Styles’ retirement plans for months, revealing that the "Phenomenal One" personally told him early last winter that the end of his in-ring career was approaching quickly. This episode is a masterclass in how to have difficult conversations with maturity and respect. Whether you’re a fan of the "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash, a supporter of the rising star Je'Von Evans, or just looking for the inside track on AJ Styles, this is a must-listen. #DevonAndTheDuke #KevinNash #JeVonEvans #AJStyles #WWE #WrestlingNews ** Shop better hydration today.

The title has changed hands! In this high-octane installment of the 3-time award-winning podcast, Devon & The Duke, WWE Hall of Famer Devon Dudley proves why he’s the "World Champion Podcaster." From a clean sweep in the debate department to legendary locker room stories, this episode is a masterclass in high-energy "rasslin" talk. Devon and Duke break down the fallout from the 2026 Royal Rumble and dive deep into the industry's biggest shifts, all while Duke deals with the rare experience of being "jobbed out" in every argument! Inside Episode 58: Royal Rumble 2026 Recap: The fellas praise a stellar night of storytelling, exploring the intricate paths laid out for both the Men’s and Women’s divisions. The Phenomenal Farewell: A heartfelt look at the Gunther vs. AJ Styles retirement match. Was it the perfect send-off for a legend? Modern Day Territory Wars: Devon makes a shocking comparison, claiming AEW’s focus reminds him of the classic NWA vs. WWF wars of the 80s. Duke isn't buying it, leading to a hilarious debate where Devon (somehow) manages to come out on top. The Royce Keys (fka Powerhouse Hobbs) Debate: Duke is "all out" on the Elvis-style lip flexing, but Devon shuts him down by comparing it to the iconic People's Eyebrow. The Inside Scoop on Royce Keys: Devon reveals his history as an agent for Royce in the past, their ongoing friendship, and the real reason Royce is finally smiling now that he’s under a WWE contract. The Legend of Haku: You’ve heard the myths, now hear the truth. Devon tells a side-splitting, terrifying story about the legendary Haku using a "goozle" in a real-life bar fight against a Marine. Humanoids & Jobbers: Duke faces the music as the crowd (and the signs) turn against him after Devon’s back-to-back debate victories. Join the Hall of Famer and the Duke for an episode filled with laughs, technical insights, and the kind of chemistry that only two of the best in the business can provide. #DevonAndTheDuke #WWE #RoyalRumble #AJStyles #Gunther #RoyceKeys #PowerhouseHobbs #AEW #ProWrestling #Podcast #Haku #WrestlingStories #WorldChampion #Testify ** Shop better hydration today.
