Though their run in NXT appears to have come to an end, it’s hard to look back at Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston’s run in developmental as anything other than a success.

[…]

Though Keith Lee and Dustin Rhodes technically got one over on the Mogul Affiliates before Revolution, Swerve Strickland has insisted online that his AEW faction is going strong, with Parker Boudreaux and Trench just needing a bit more seasoning to get over in Tony Khan’s company.

Discussing what the title reign means to her on […]

After watching Cody Rhodes cut a wicked promo demanding Roman Reign acknowledge him as a legitimate challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Paul Heyman took it upon himself to book a segment with Cathy Kelley on RAW to warn “The American Nightmare” about flying too close to the sun. “We’ve got a problem, as […]

While the March 13th edition of RAW will likely be remembered for storylines involving Cody Rhodes, Austin Theory, and even Otis, one of the underlining, long-term angles that ran across the episode was darn near everyone on the show asking The Miz if they can be his co-host for “The Showcase of the Immortals.” When […]

After watching Austin Theory lock up his tag team partner, Angelo Dawkins, in the Stepover Toehold Facelock following his in-ring victory, Montez Ford was hopping mad, so much so that, when Cathy Kelley came through looking for segments for RAW Talk, he didn’t even allow for a proper setup. “Access, access, access, what’s this, the […]

For much of Monday Night RAW, Chad Gable had one mission and one mission alone within the WWE Universe: find Otis.

When news broke that Brock Lesnar was going to wrestle Omos at WrestleMania 39, it left fans feeling a certain kind of way.

By his own admission, Edge’s return to the WWE has been… interesting.

While Kenny Omega is most well regarded for his incredible in-ring efforts and for being an EVP of AEW, it’s less widely known that “The Best Bout Machine” also plays a major role in the promotion’s women’s division, where he helps to set up matches and develop storylines for Dynamite, Rampage, Dark, Elevation, and Pay-Per-Views. […]
