When Rhea Ripley came out on Monday Night RAW to issue a soft challenge to Bianca Belair two days after winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship off of Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39, it drew a variety of different reactions from the WWE Universe. Sure, after entertaining over 80,000 fans on Saturday evening at SoFi Stadium, […]

To call WrestleMania 39 anything other than a resounding success for Rhea Ripley would be a lie.

After butting into Bobby Lashley’s interview with Cathy Kelley on RAW, suggesting that “The All-Mighty” taught him how to lose SmackDown during the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Bronson Reed found himself on RAW Talk with Byron Saxton to discuss confrontation with the former WWE Champion, even if he wouldn’t phrase it in such […]

When Roman Reigns’ arm was lifted at the end of WrestleMania 39, it changed the very trajectory of the WWE Universe moving forward. Suddenly Cody Rhodes went from the champion-in-waiting to Brock Lesnar’s plaything, The Usos went from misery loves company to on the outside looking in on The Bloodline following their loss to Kevin […]

Unlike storylines in WWE, professional wrestling careers aren’t forever. No matter how well a performer keeps themselves in shape, how safe they are in the ring, and how many/few matches they work in a calendar year, eventually, a wrestler will step out of the ring for the last time and their legacy will become history […]

When news broke that “Switchblade” Jay White’s contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling was coming up, it left many wondering which promotion would garner his services next: WWE or AEW.

You know what? You really have to feel for The Miz; not only did he get attacked by not one but two different WWE opponents at WrestleMania 39 – technically four if you count George Kittle and Snoop Dogg – but he lost of incredibly expensive suit in the process, too. So naturally, when The […]

After losing her fourth-straight WrestleMania title match in a very compelling match against Bianca Belair, it’s safe to say Asuka isn’t in the best place right now within the WWE Universe. With her fellow Kabuki Warrior, Kairi Sane, currently a free agent after a successful run with the IWGP Women’s Championship in Stardom/New Japan Pro […]

After watching Day 2 of WrestleMania 39 play out almost exactly like he planned – one would assume Shane McMahon tearing his quad wasn’t on the card – Paul “Triple H” Levesque took to the podium at SoFi Stadium in order to discuss how each match shook out and give props to his WWE Superstars, […]

With WrestleMania 39 officially passed and Roman Reigns somehow still the Ace atop Titan Tower, fans from across the WWE Universe have one question and one question alone: who the heck is going to dethrone “The Tribal Chief?” On paper, Cody Rhodes seemed like he was going to be it; after going out on his […]

To say Cody Rhodes losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39 to Roman Reigns was a shocker would be an understatement.

After three months of build-up, hype, and more media interviews than most wrestlers do in a lifetime, Cody Rhodes entered WrestleMania 39 with a world to gain; with three quick taps to the mat, Rhodes could become the new WWE Universal Champion, #CompleteTheStory, and do what his father never could: become the WWE Champion.

For the second night in a row, The Miz and Snoop Dogg got into a bit of an argument after announcing the attendance numbers for WrestleMania 39.

Ever since Ronda Rousey lost her SmackDown Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair on the final show of 2022, WWE has had a hard time figuring out where she fits into the picture.

Heading into WrestleMania 39, one question rose above all others when it came to the match between Omos and Brock Lesnar: would “The Beast Incarnate” be able to use his traditional offense on the biggest man in WWE?

Charlotte Flair is a WWE legend. She’s won more world championships than any other woman in WWE history, has headlined “Premium Live Events” across the country, and will eventually join fellow WrestleMania performers Lita, Trish Stratus, and Rey Mysterio in the Hall of Fame when she decides to hang up her robes for good.

Heading into WrestleMania 39, Logan Paul had more to worry about than simply wrestling former multi-time champion Seth Rollins.
