With the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 4 game versus the Los Angeles Rams just over the horizon, the prospect of a 2-2 record is very much a reality. So, ahead of the Niners-Rams game, it’s time to make some San Francisco 49ers Week 4 bold predictions. When Jimmy Garoppolo took over the offense from Trey […]

“I’m back!” – with these two words, Saraya reintroduced herself to the professional wrestling world, and officially spoke on her position in the AEW Galaxy. That’s right, after making her surprise debut on the first night of Grand Slam to a massive pop from the assembled crowd and a ner-universally glowing response from fans online, […]

For the second time since Tony Khan purchased Ring of Honor, AEW returned to the City of Brotherly Love for a very hot show. Though the show was held at The Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University instead of in the 2400 Arena – which used to famously be known as the ECW […]

Bobby Fish hasn’t been a member of AEW in almost a month; he hasn’t wrestled in a match since defeating Blake Li on AEW Dark Elevation, hasn’t been in a televised match since he lost to Darby Allin on Rampage in June, and hasn’t been a part of a relevant storyline since Kyle O’Reilly and […]

NXT’s Andre Chase of Chase U really doesn’t like a certain wrestling journalist. Though he didn’t explicitly call him out by name – at least by his full name – during a promo “pep rally” segment on NXT to hype up his match with Von Wagner, when a journalist named “Dave” asked about the forthcoming […]

Though they haven’t been on AEW programming since they won the AEW World Trios Championships with Kenny Omega at All Out, the Young Bucks kept on keeping on in their time away from the promotion they founded. The duo have been staying in shape, been spending time with their families, even more so now that […]

After watching two titles change hands at Grand Slam – three if you count the vacant World Championship – AEW is immediately putting the straps on the line once more with not one but two championship matches scheduled for the fallout edition of Dynamite coming to fans live from the “Home of Extreme,” Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. […]

It wouldn’t be an Extreme Rules “Premium Live Event” if WWE didn’t bring out the “Rated-R Superstar,” Edge, for another hardcore match with a fun stipulation. But what would it be? Tables? Ladders? Chairs? Well, on the Edmonton edition of RAW, fans got their answer, as Edge charged out of the back after the main […]

After being the topic of heavy speculation about his current contract status, his future, and his past few weeks in AEW, Malakai Black took to Instagram Live to set the record straight in his own words in order to “debunk” some of the rumors floating around. “Alright guys, good evening,” Black began. “You know there’s […]

Sami Zayn is a lot of things to the WWE Universe; he’s a grizzled vet, the “Underdog From The Underground,” and remains very good friends with El Generico, one of the best silent luchadors in the history of the independent wrestling scene. Zayn has 40 matches with at least a four-star rating according to Dave […]

Though his NFL career will all but surely be remembered for his time playing left tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-year-old Jason Peters isn’t quite ready to hang up his cleats and ride off to the sunset just because Howie Roseman and company secured a new starter by the name of Jordan Mailata. No, after […]

After taking care of business against WWE’s Alpha Academy in a tag team bout with fellow unofficial Panda Express member Kevin Owens, Johnny Gargano’s night was seemingly over; he secured the win despite the best efforts of former NXT son Austin Theory, looked great in only his second official match as a member of the […]

After largely underwhelming fans with an expected 9:23 announcement that ultimately fell during a commercial break, WWE was at it again on Monday Night RAW, where, for the second show in a row, a QR code was flashed on the screen for fans to scan and see a few more pieces in the White Rabbit […]

Colin Cowherd is notoriously not the biggest fan of the City of Brotherly Love and their beloved Philadelphia Eagles. He gave the city a tough time for their light pole-climbing, horse-punching reactions to winning the Super Bowl, trashed the city’s sports culture, and spoke positively about the successes of Philadelphia-based athletes in spite of where […]

After beating the bricks off of the Minnesota Vikings in their home opener on Monday Night Football, the Philadelphia Eagles were flying high. The world was their oyster, the national media was singing their praises, and fans who saw a presumed South Philly dynasty crumble into nothing finally had something to believe in. And yet, […]

When the Cleveland Cavaliers pushed their chips to the center of the table and traded away Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, four first-round picks, and two first-round pick swaps, it shook up the Eastern Conference in a major way. While most expected to see “Spida Mitchell” end up in Peter Parker’s hometown, as the Knicks had […]

The Chicago Bulls are a better team when Lonzo Ball is in their rotation. He’s a great on-ball defender, an effective shooter from deep, and has the rare ability to shift off and on-ball with ease, thus allowing him to play alongside seemingly any other guard from Zach LeVine to Colby White, and even his […]

After showing out in a big way in Week 2, fans received some not-so-good news when Sammy Watkins was added to the Green Bay Packers’ injury report with a hamstring injury. Did the ex-Clemson first-round pick suffer the injury on one of his three catches for 93 yards? Or maybe Watkins came up bad while […]

When Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd announced at the team’s media day that Christian Wood was going to come off the bench in a “sixth man role,” it turned more than a few heads around the NBA world. Initially acquired back in June for a package of Boban Marjanović, Trey Burke, Marquese Chriss, Sterling […]

Wardlow has been AEW’s TNT Champion for 82 days and counting. He took the belt off of Scorpio Sky on his second try in a Rochester Street Fight on the July 6th edition of Dynamite, defended the belt on four occasions, including versus Orange Cassidy at Fyter Fest and Jay Lethal at Battle of the […]

While discussing the House of Black on the August 30th edition of Drinks with Johnny, the podcast of Avenged Sevenfold bassist Johnny Christ, straight-edge AEW Superstar Brody King lauded his group for being the best “full product” in professional wrestling, as transcribed by Post Wrestling. “The fans can definitely guarantee that the House of Black […]

After a half-decade away from the ring, Saraya, who was known as Paige in WWE, has returned to the professional wrestling world as a member of AEW. Though her exact role in the promotion is rather unclear, as some have suggested that she was not cleared to wrestle very recently, Saraya has shot those reports […]

When the Green Bay Packers took the field against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it felt different. Call it the “Geezer Bowl,” call it the “Battle of the G.O.A.T.s,” but to most, the game was special because it quite possibly may serve as the final showdown between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers before one or both […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been very bad for a very long time. They have just seven playoff appearances and eight winning seasons since they came into existence in 1995 and have combined to win just 15 games over the past four seasons while trapped in the AFC South’s basement. And yet, though the season is […]

With a win over the Washington Commanders, the Philadelphia Eagles are 3-0. They’re the lone 3-0 team in the NFC right now after watching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drop a last-second stunner to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers and are just one of three undefeated teams overall alongside the New York Giants, who […]

After listening to his head coach, Ron Rivera, discuss his team’s lack of success against the Philadelphia Eagles and the “bullcrap report” from ESPN about the team’s interest in trading for Jimmy Garopollo during the spring, Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz took to the podium to discuss his less-than-impressive play against his former employer. Would […]

While Ron Rivera’s postgame press conference will probably be remembered for his reaction to the ESPN report of the Washington Commanders’ pursuit of trading for Jimmy Garoppolo before ultimately pivoting to a deal for Carson Wentz, the Super Bowl-winning head coach did discuss other issues surrounding his team, namely the not-so-good play of his current […]

While most Washington Commanders fans were still reeling over their team’s near-buzzer-to-buzzer loss to the division rival Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3, Ron Rivera took to the microphone in an attempt to explain what happened and lay out a plan moving forward. And yet, Rivera’s media availability won’t be remembered for what he said about […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are on a roll. After fending off the Detroit Lions in Week 1 and dominating the Minnesota Vikings in a commanding Week 2 win on Monday Night Football, Nick Sirianni and company turned their attention to the NFC East, where they would face off against the Washington Commanders just down I-95 in […]

Paul “Triple H” Levesque is one of the most respected wrestlers in WWE history. Sure, some will look down on his dagger-visioned desire to do whatever it takes to get over and for burying other stars who could have been huge in the process, but the numbers don’t lie, and as his Twitter account clearly […]

When news broke that Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s lingering hamstring injury would keep him out of action for Week 4 of the 2022 NCAA season, it was a pretty big bummer for fans of Ohio State football. Sure, the team is incredibly deep, and they’ve defeated their first three opponents by a combined score of 143-43, but […]

WWE’s Liv Morgan loves professional wrestling. SmackDown‘s commentary team of Corey Graves and Michael Cole that she was in attendance at the East Rutherford, New Jersey running of Extreme Rules as a fan in 2014, has tweeted out her praise for dozens of wrestlers over the years, and even posted a picture with Minoru Suzuki […]

Sami Zayn is WWE’s official The Honorary Uce, and he doesn’t care who hears it. That’s right, after working with The Bloodline in an unofficial capacity for months, Roman Reigns finally addressed Zayn’s status head-on, with a tense segment featuring Jey Uso tearing off the “Underdog From The Underground’s” Bloodline shirt only to be handed […]

Damian Lillard is a fan of WWE. He once partnered with Ric Flair for a colorway of his Adidas Dame 7s, released a run of Dame 6s with a “Dame 3:16” motif to pay tribute to the Texas Rattlesnake, and was even a downloadable character in WWE 2K Battlegrounds. So naturally, with more and more […]

When the Oregon football program announced that their first game of the season was going to be against the Georgia Bulldogs, it drew more than a few “yikes” emojis from long-time fans of the Ducks. Sure, everyone would like to believe that their favorite team can beat anyone, but the Bulldogs were the best team […]

For a time, Ricochet was one of the best-kept secrets in WWE. While he would appear on television first on RAW and then on SmackDown following his elevation from NXT, Ricochet was a much more impressive feature of the house show circuit, where the well-traveled veteran performer would routinely put on incredible matches against the […]

WWE’s Bianca Belair is an incredibly compelling personality. She’s rapidly become a fan favorite within the WWE Universe for her incredibly “toyetic” look, solid in-ring work, and compelling babyface charm that almost forces fans to root for her, and that potent combination has largely been able to transcend the squared circle too. From her commercials […]

After slowly but surely making their way through a game that felt like an eternity to complete, Clemson has moved to 4-0 with a 51-45 win over Wake Forest. Though the game was not without some stress, as the Demon Deacons’ Sam Hartman did tie an ACC record with a six-touchdown performance, in the end, […]

For the second time in as many shows, Shotzi came to the aid of her fellow former NXT star Raquel Rodriquez while she attempted to best a member of WWE’s Damage CTRL, in a match that would routinely turn into a 3-on-1 affair. But why? Is Shotzi looking to join forces with Rodriquez? Could a […]
