When Mandy Rose was fired from WWE, it threw the future of Toxic Attraction – the faction and the tag team – into disarray. Sure, theoretically, the duo of Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin could have continued on as if nothing happened, but after being pegged as a trio destined for a spot on either […]

When Super Bowl 57 came to an end, the Kanas City Chiefs celebrated on the field, while the members of the Philadelphia Eagles walked back to the locker room to change out of their uniforms, give consolations, and ultimately fly back to the City of Brotherly Love once their media obligations came to an end. […]

Over the course of the 2022 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles won every single game Jalen Hurts finished out with an RTG of 95 or higher… at least until Super Bowl 57, where QB1 finished off the game with an RTG of 103.4 but still ended up on the wrong side of the final score. […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are not Super Bowl 57 champions*. Why, you may ask, is there an asterisk at the end of that sentence? Well, because for so many fans of the Eagles and of just football in general, one single play at the end of the game will forever define what was an otherwise incredibly […]

After having a DeVonta Smith catch overturned due to a lack of possession, the Philadelphia Eagles found themselves in a very similar situation in the third quarter of Super Bowl 57, when Dallas Goedert, the team’s rapidly-ascending tight end, caught a pass of his own right on the sidelines to convert a third down and […]

At this point, Roman Reigns’ legacy as one of the greatest champions in WWE history is more or less cemented, right? He’s held the Universal title for longer than anyone else, with his current reign nearly 700 days longer than any other wrestler in history, according to Cagematch, and his 26 successful defenses becoming more […]

Ah the Super Bowl, an event that typically has very little to do with WWE, professional wrestling, or any sport other than football, but every now and again, the two words collide in a way that is not only fun to watch but elevates both products immensely. Case and point, Super Bowl 57, where, between […]

After securing a win alongside Raquel Rodriguez in a make-shift tag team match against Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville, Liv Morgan and her partner went to the back for an interview with Megan Morant for the WWE SmackDown LowDown. Asked about what it will be like to go from teammates to enemies in a little […]

Karrion Kross is a fan of professional wrestling. While the WWE Superstar is always down to play the heel on television, using his size, his trickery, and Scarlett, to torment the likes of Drew McIntyre and Rey Mysterio, but when he’s off camera, the 37-year-old New York Native is more than willing to put over […]

After spending weeks trying to get back on the right side of Bobby Lashley and then accompanying the seemingly re-formed duo of Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin down to the ring on RAW, it really seems like MVP is looking to get back into the Hurt Business business. While such a reunion likely won’t happen […]

While Tony Khan doesn’t always plaster his face on television in the same way as other professional wrestling promoters, at his heart, he’s a showman. The second-generation sports owner has built up a true contender to WWE in AEW, has broken through the “forbidden door” – under case – to bring inter-brand wrestling to the […]

After being called out repeatedly by Swerve Strickland over the past few weeks, Dustin Rhodes finally addressed the elephant in the room via a firey promo defined by his fight to retain the honor of the Rhodes name. “Yeah, he’s crossing the line, right?” Rhodes asked. “Swerve listen, you can talk about me all you […]

After wrestling his first AEW match against Jay Lethal on what would have been his brother Jay’s 39th birthday, Mark Briscoe was riding high. Booked for a segment with Lexy Nair on Rampage, Briscoe was ready to make an announcement about his future within Tony Khan’s companies. “Lexy I’m feeling good,” Briscoe said. “I’m feeling […]

After miraculously reuniting on SmackDown to successfully defend their tag team titles against Ricochet and Braun Strowman, Jimmy and Jey of The Usos were riding high. The duo walked to the back together, celebrated their win together, and everything seemed hunky dory, at least until Jimmy asked his brother if he’s “in or out” of […]

Heading into the Royal Rumble, no one had more to gain within the WWE Universe than LA Knight. If “The Megastar” could somehow go over Bray Wyatt after weeks of doing free advertisements for MTN Dew, it would fully remove the Maximum Male Models from fans memories and establish a new main event talent worthy […]

After watching his twin, Jey Uso, walk out of the Royal Rumble after Roman Reigns turned on Sami Zayn at the end of the main event, Jimmy Uso was unsure what was going to happen next for his tag team, The Usos. Would the duo stick together, overcome their differences, and remain a team either […]

WWE fans, it’s official: after six or so weeks away, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey is officially back on Friday Night SmackDown. That’s right, after dropping her strap to Charlotte Flair to close out 2022, Rousey was summoned into action by Natalya, who was having words with Shayna Baszler about being nothing but a “Ronda Rousey Clone” […]

Opening up SmackDown with one of his signature promos, Paul Heyman walked down to the ring to let the WWE Universe know that while Cody Rhodes is a viable challenger for the “Head of the Table,” Sami Zayn is not. Disagreeing with Rhodes’ comments that WWE’s titles aren’t personal, suggesting instead that the Undisputed WWE […]

Eddie Kingston is not a fan of, well, of most things really. He doesn’t like many of his coworkers, really doesn’t like AEW’s current World Champion, and probably isn’t particularly high on any of the other champions too if we’re being honest. So naturally, with a bunch of free time on his hands and a […]

Though he lost his qualifier match for a spot in the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber to Montez Ford, Elias still has high hopes for the “Show of Shows.” Speaking with WWE – Die Woche, Elias discussed some of his dream matches for WrestleMania 39 before calling out the current Intercontinental Champion, GUNTHER. “Listen, I could […]

When JD McDonagh came out during Carmelo Hayes’ opening segment on NXT, he was undoubtedly looking for some smoke, as one does when they challenge a championship contender to a match, but little did he know just how “Unbesiegbar” things would get. Working a back-and-forth match that saw the “A-Champ” work a little closer than […]

Since winning Money in the Bank in 2022, Liv Morgan has become more and more extreme within the WWE Universe with each passing month. Speaking with Ryan Satin on his Out of Character podcast with Fox, Morgan explained that, after losing her title, she had no reason not to embrace being a loose cannon. “I […]

On paper, Jade Cargill has everything going for her in AEW; she’s the TBS Champion, she’s never lost a singles, tag team, or trios match, and in a promotion with over 100 wrestlers under contract, she’s the only performer with a perfect 50-0 record to start out her in-ring career in AEW. And yet, after […]

By absolutely demolishing Dolph Ziggler on RAW, Bronson Reed punched his ticket to the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber. While his inclusion in the match may not have been the most obvious choice for WWE-only fans, those who watched Reed run the show in Impact and New Japan Pro Wrestling know that there’s more to the […]

While doing promotional work for WWE 2K23, Seth Rollin was asked rather surprisingly about one of his former NXT friend, CM Punk – real name Phil Brooks – and his rather dubious status in the professional wrestling world at the moment. Based on his comments, it’s clear Rollins isn’t a fan. “Philly Phil, stay away,” […]

Heading into Dynamite, the pressure was on for MJF to show up and show out against the “Japanese Phenomenon,” Konosuke Takeshita, in an eliminator match for the AEW World Championship On paper, MJF had the clear advantage; he’s the AEW World Champion, hasn’t lost a match since May of 2022 at Double or Nothing, and […]

After calling The Acclaimed, Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, the most popular tag team in AEW history earlier in the month, Tony Khan did the duo dirty for the second time in the past six months by having The Gunns, Colten, and Austin, secure a win on Dynamite via a convoluted series of events that […]

After working through an absolute gauntlet of the best mid-card talents AEW has to offer, Bryan Danielson found himself one match away from securing a 60-minute Iron Man match against the current World Champion MJF at Revolution. Unfortunately for “The American Dragon,” after securing a win over Konosuke Takeshita in the opening segment of AEW […]

After watching Jamie Hayter secure a win in her AEW Women’s World Championship eliminator match against Allie/The Bunny, Renee Paquette asked Saraya and Toni Storm, the top heels in the women’s division, if they happened to catch the current title holder’s efforts. “We did, we did get to see her in action,” Saraya said. “Congratulations, […]

After years of back-and-forth banter over who was worthy of the moniker “The Man,” Ric Flair and Becky Lynch reportedly buried the hatchet at WWE’s RAW XXX and officially left the past in the past. When asked about this conversation by Pat McAfee on his show, Seth Rollins peeled back the curtain before declaring the […]

With his undisputed reign as the “King of Television” officially restored, Samoa Joe is riding high in AEW once more. He has the straps, one for AEW and one for Ring of Honor, he has the glory, and unfortunately, he has “Mr. Mayhem” himself, Wardlow, following his every move in pursuit of the title he […]

With the participants for both the mens and women’s 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber matches officially set, fans have already started placing their bets on who they would like to see win the United States Championship at the Montreal, Quebec, Canada-based “Premiun Live Event.” Some expect the current champion, Austin Theory, to retain, while others like […]

When Ric Flair decided to seemingly out of nowhere knock Konosuke Takeshita’s chops following his AEW Dynamite match with Bryan Danielson, it rubbed more than a few wrestling fans the wrong way. Sure, Takeshita isn’t a chop specialist who uses the move in every match multiple times, but the “Japanese Phenomenon” is a more than […]

When New Japan Pro Wrestling’s next premier event, The New Beginning in Osaka, comes to an end, either “Switchblade” Jay White or Hikuleo will have to leave Japan for good and continue with their professional wrestling journey elsewhere. That’s right, after spending years together in Bullet Club, either White, a former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion […]

When news broke that “The King” Jerry Lawler had suffered a stroke, it seemingly brought the entire professional wrestling community together in wishing the WWE Hall of Famer well moving forward. While details at the time were sparse, with “The King’s” initial prognosis being a stroke before then being clarified as a “blood blockage to […]

In case you’ve been living under a rock or simply haven’t been paying attention to the entirety of WWE television, you already know that Seth Rollins really doesn’t like Logan Paul.  He doesn’t like the way he got into the business, really doesn’t like that he eliminated him from the 2023 Royal Rumble, and just […]

After watching Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin fully come apart at NXT Vengeance Day, Bayley took it upon herself to get the Toxic Attraction gals back on the same page via an appearance on her much-loved talk show Ding Dong Hello! Though the Toxic twosome arrived at the PC separately, they walked to the ring […]

Though he isn’t currently an active member of the WWE roster, there’s still a ton of love for John Cena in the RAW, the SmackDown, and even the NXT locker room. Need proof? Look no further than Seth Rollins’ recent appearance at the WWE 2k23 launch party, where he complimented Cena for being not only […]

Before Carmelo Hayes made his way to NXT Vengeance Day for a non-title, Best Two out of Three Falls match against Apollo Crews, he made a bold prediction that he would only need two falls to secure the win and leave Charlotte victorious. Fast forward to the end of the show, and the “A-Champ” was […]
