2025 World Team Is Just About Set: Final X Winners, Surprises & Storylines

In this episode of BASCHAMANIA, Roman Bravo-Young returns to the show, and a lot has changed since his last appearance. We dive into his move to Stillwater and training at Cowboy RTC, his relationship with Daton Fix, and how he’s navigating the transition to becoming a full-time freestyle wrestler. Roman breaks down his big recent international win, what it means to be competing for Mexico, and how his game is evolving on the senior level. We also talk about his thoughts on NIL and building a brand, future goals (including possible MMA plans), and who he’s picking for Final X.
