Wrestlers Who Lost Momentum in 2025

In the final episode of 2025, Shane and Morro sit down in Shane’s Gorilla Room, named after the late Gorilla Monsoon, to take stock of a year that didn’t go the way many expected.

Some wrestlers entered 2025 with serious momentum and came out of it stalled, injured, or quietly drifting. From Bayley and Jacob Fatu to long injury layoffs affecting Chad Gable and Will Ospreay, the lads look at how quickly things can change in modern wrestling. They also dig into the bigger questions around CM Punk’s year, WWE’s creative direction, and whether NJPW ever really found its footing in 2025.

It’s not just about who cooled off. Shane and Morro also look ahead, asking who might be perfectly placed for a strong return in 2026, and what actually turns a bad year around in wrestling.
