There are a lot of people responsible for the start of AEW. There’s WWE for releasing Cody Rhodes, NJPW and the Bullet Club for allowing him to work with Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, Ring of Honor for helping to fund All Out, and most obviously of all, Tony Khan, who is the head […]

On the penultimate edition of SmackDown before Crown Jewel, Paul Heyman was bothered about his ward Roman Reigns’ forthcoming match against Logan Paul for the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship.

While The Bloodline is dominating the WWE Universe at the top of the Heavyweight picture, the Tag Team picture, and even in the midcard, where Solo Sikoa is just biding his time before he secures either the Intercontinental Championship or the United States Championship from either GUNTHER or Seth Rollins, the group’s reach doesn’t just […]
