As the latest batch of WWE adventures on A&E prepares to tag out, fear not, wrestling aficionados! The tag team of WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures and WWE Rivals is set to leap back into the ring this April, proving that the only thing more relentless than a wrestler’s spirit is A&E’s programming schedule.
First up, WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures is strapping on its treasure hunting boots and setting off on a cross-country expedition to dig up the relics of wrestling yesteryears. Join Booker T, Mick Foley, and Lita as they embark on a mission that’s part Indiana Jones, part American Pickers, but with 100% more spandex. The quest begins at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, April 14, where the trio will hunt for artifacts as elusive as a clean finish in a No Disqualification match.
Expect cameos from the likes of Hulk Hogan, The Miz, Cody Rhodes, and Sheamus, as they search for pieces of wrestling lore ranging from Dusty Rhodes’ iconic polka dot gear to Triple H’s menacing sledgehammer. It’s like Antiques Roadshow, if the antiques could perform a suplex.
Following up, WWE Rivals makes its grand return on Sunday, April 21, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, with Most Wanted Treasures hot on its heels at 9 p.m. This season, comedian Gabriel Iglesias steps into the ring as the new host, replacing Freddie Prinze Jr., and likely bringing a bit more fluff to the discussions. He’ll be joined by WWE legends to dissect some of the most memorable in-ring rivalries, because nothing says “family entertainment” like rehashing old grudges.
Get ready for episodes that dive into the legendary feuds of Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage, Steve Austin vs. Booker T, and John Cena vs. Batista, to name just a few. It’s the wrestling equivalent of opening up a high school yearbook, only to find that everyone’s still arguing about who was the prom king.
And just when you thought May might be a safe haven from the onslaught of wrestling content, Biography: WWE Legends tags in on Sunday, May 26. Prepare for deep dives into the lives of Mark Henry, Eddie Guerrero, and Becky Lynch, among others, proving that wrestlers have more layers than their character personas and muscle mass suggest.
As this season of Biography wraps up with a bang, featuring none other than Roman Reigns, we’re reminded that in the world of WWE and A&E, the action never stops, the legends never fade, and the search for wrestling’s holy grails is an eternal quest. So, clear your Sundays, stock up on snacks, and prepare to be entertained, educated, and possibly bewildered by the treasure trove of wrestling history coming your way.
