When it comes to The Bloodline, at least during Roman Reigns’ time as the “Tribal Chief,” WWE fans routinely compared their storyline to the most polarizing term in professional wrestling: cinema. Unlike in wrestling past, where workers would loudly declare their intentions in the ring with bravado and swagger, The Bloodline would talk quietly in […]

After surging to become one the top teams in the NFL last season despite having *checks notes* Joe Flacco under center, the Cleveland Browns enter the 2024 season with a new lease on life, a few new weapons on both sides of the field, and, football gods willing, a healthy starting quarterback, with DeShaun Watson […]

In less than 24 hours, the Los Angeles Rams will officially kick off the 2024 NFL season on Sunday Night Football, where they will go one-on-one against Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions in a rematch of last year’s Wildcard Round matchup. Soon, fans will see how the Rams GM Les Snead’s new offensive additions […]

After watching the Pete Carroll era end with a whimper instead of a bang, missing the playoffs as things wound down in a disappointing fashion, the Seattle Seahawks find themselves in uncharted waters with a head coach, new coordinators, and, most crucially of all, new hope for fans in the Pacific North West that their […]

When it comes to having success under both of WWE’s 21st-century bookers, few performers hold a candle to Drew McIntyre. Originally brought into WWE as Vince McMahon’s “Chosen One,” McIntyre won both of his WWE World Championships under the former Chairman of the Board and was given the tough ask of being the face of […]

After burning out in spectacular fashion in 2023, firing Brandon Staley for his inability to grow in the middle of the season, and landing the biggest fish in coaching free agency in Jim Harbaugh, the Los Angeles Chargers find themselves one of the most interesting teams in the NFL, with potential outcomes ranging from playoff […]

Just two weeks after All In, AEW officially returns to Pay-Per-View with All Out, a Chicago-based show light on build-up – minus the feud between Swerve Strickland and “Hangman” Adam Page – but heavy on elite graps with the potential to go down as the show of the year if everything goes off without a […]

If you just read the Philadelphia Eagles box score in the paper on Saturday morning, you should think the team had a pretty dominant win over the Green Bay Packers, as they never trailed by more than a score and really pulled away late in the game,  riding a lengthy drive in the fourth quarter […]

Outside of an ugly first snap as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, slipping on the Brazilian turf on a brutal opening drive, Saquon Barkley turned in a Midnight Green debut fit for a king, so much so that LeBron James himself gave him a mid-game shoutout. Donning black helmets and pants in the first-ever […]

In 2023, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one of the feel-good stories of the NFL season. Originally heading into the year with a journeyman quarterback on a $3 million deal and a former second-round pick with just 23 passing yards on his resume, the Buccaneers slowly but surely established themselves as the best team in […]

After tripping on his first-ever touch as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, falling victim to the slippery Brazilian turf on the way to a 2nd-and-15 that ended in disaster, Saquon Barkley returned to vintage form in his first game in Midnight Green, picking up three touchdowns in the first three quarters of the game […]

With Bash in Berlin officially in the rearview mirror, Cody Rhodes can finally turn his attention away from a friendly feud with Kevin Owens to his biggest task at hand, Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline. On paper, it makes sense, right? Sikoa called next last month regardless of how the Bash shook out, and while […]

For the longest time, there has been a widely circulated unofficial beef between MVP and Triple H, with many using the actions of the former to accuse the latter of being racist. Now granted, MVP has brought much of that on himself, liking posts and subtweeting the WWE CCO for how he’s treated the Hurt […]

When it comes to professional wrestling, Adam Copeland has seen more than most. He’s been the hot new gun, he’s wrestled against some of the biggest stars in the world, been one of the biggest stars in the world, prematurely retired, and returned to lead a faction designed to elevate the next generation of stars […]

After watching their last few seasons end in tragedy for one reason or another, from watching all of their quarterbacks go down against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023, to a heartbreaking shootout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year, the San Francisco 49ers are back at it again, with the Kyle Shanahan’s squad […]

While there still may be a few weeks left in the latest edition of the “Summer of CM Punk,” fans have, for better or worse, been treated to “Hulk Hogan Week,” as, after making a much-publicized appearance on Logan Paul’s ImPaulsive, the “Hulkamaniac” decided to talk wrestling with Bill Apter of Sportskeeda. And what did […]

On a day when the NFL world was aghast by the news of Patrick Surtan II’s record-breaking new contract, the New York Jets were still bathing in the glow of making a deal of their own by extending former fifth-round pick Michael Carter II, handing their speedy slot cornerback a three-year, $30.75 million deal on […]

When AEW decided to publish a feel-good video package highlighting Swerve Strickland using the bonus from his new contract to purchase his childhood home, fans just had to know that “Hangman” Adam Page would have something up his sleeve, as he owes the ex-AEW World Champion one heck of a receipt for breaking into his […]

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Jonah Jackson away from the Detroit Lions, it was to serve as their left guard, with Steve Avila expected to kick it inside to center to replace departing stalwart Coleman Shelton. And yet, after a few months on the practice field, Sean McVay has decided to change course, with […]

The last time the Los Angeles Rams were on the field for an NFL game that counted, it ended in tragedy, with the Detroit Lions and their starting quarterback, Jeff Goeff, celebrating a 24-23 point win at their expense. A brutal way to close out a season? You bet as Matthew Stafford had to watch […]

Heading into All In, it’s safe to say Adam Copeland was having the run of his post-retirement career as a member of AEW. He was a two-time TNT Champion, a beloved veteran consistently giving new guys shots with his CopeOpen, and the first man to get a singles Pay-Per-View match with Malakai Black since Forbidden […]

When Hulk Hogan decides to give a long-form interview, like his recent appearance on ImPaulsive with Logan Paul, fans just know that he’s going to drop some of the hottest takes imaginable. The first story to go viral from his appearance was rather straightforward; Hogan boldly declared that not only could Paul become the top […]

After one of the more up-in-the-air offseasons in recent memory, the Philadelphia Eagles will finally take the field for a rare South American soiree against the Green Bay Packers, throwing down on Peacock for the rare Friday night football game. Finally, fans will get to see how much Nick Sirianni has changed after almost losing […]

After running one of the toughest divisions in professional football, the AFC North, in a knock-down, drag-out battle for the number one seed, the Baltimore Ravens saw their 2023 season end in tragedy with a 10-17 Conference Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on their home field. In Week 1 of the 2024 season, […]

When news broke that Hulk Hogan was going to be the guest this week on Logan Paul’s ImPaulsive podcast, fans just had to know they were in for a show. Now, normally, if Paul has a WWE personality on his show, something is going to come out of it, as he has no issue at […]

What are the New England Patriots going to look like in 2024? Will they take a step forward under their new regime, entering into a new era with a surprisingly effective season? Or will they struggle mightly once more, losing whatever edge Bill Belichick brought to the team on the defensive side of the ball […]

When NXT makes its official debut on The CW in October, fans won’t just be tuning in to see “All Ego” Ethan Page, Trick Williams, Roxanne Perez, Oba Femi, and (probably) Joe Hendry – should someone say his name – but also the “Best in the World,” CM Punk, who will be appearing on the […]

After putting the “Legend Killer” to sleep in the main event of Bash in Berlin, it seemed like Gunther had his next challenger on lock in the form of CM Punk, who called the “Ring General” out both after the PLE and during a segment on RAW. … but then a returning Drew McIntyre beat […]

After spending almost a decade in the WWE system, few people in the professional wrestling landscape know the goings on within the promotion’s creative team as Ricochet, who was booked like a star one month and then didn’t wrestle on television at all for weeks or even months at a time. Discussing his experience in […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to hop on a nine-hour plane ride to Brazil for their much-anticipated Week 1 matchup against the Green Bay Packer, general manager Howie Roseman was putting in work in the proverbial trenches, upgrading his team with not one but two new players is a wild practice squad shakeup. First up […]

With the Philadelphia Eagles preparing for one of the more unique Week 1 games fans will ever see, with the Birds heading to Brazil for a bicontinental throwdown against the Packers, fans around the world have been wondering how the team’s new defense will fare against Jordan Love and the Green Bay’s offense, who collectively […]

Despite finishing out the 2023 NFL season with a winning record, it’s hard to argue that the Jacksonville Jaguars weren’t one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL, as they parlayed an 8-3 start into a 9-8 finish and effectively blew their playoff chances with a loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 18 […]

In 2023, the Arizona Cardinals effectively allowed their fans to suffer through a gap year, as before the opening kickoff could even commence, they were down their starting quarterback – who suffered a torn ACL in Week 14 of 2022 and had to begin the year on the PUP list. Disappointing? You bet, as all […]

After securing a huge Strap match win at Bash in Berlin, CM Punk boldly declared that his feud with Drew McIntyre was over before turning his attention to a proper pursuit of Gunther’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship. And yet, apparently, no one told that to McIntyre, as after losing the match, his dignity, and the […]

When Bo Dallas officially made his return to the WWE Universe under the Uncle Howdy moniker earlier this year, it got more than a few fans in their feelings about the late, great Bray Wyatt. Sporting the final gimmick his brother created before his final hiatus, Dallas and WWE Creative found a way to bring […]

While Cody Rhodes is on top of the WWE Universe at the moment, holding the promotion’s top title, the WWE Championship, while effectively serving as the face of the company, there’s one question fans want to know more than any other: what the heck happened at the end of his AEW run? On paper, it […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers might just be the most interesting team in the entire NFL heading into the 2024 season. No, not because they are going to be Super Bowl contenders, as that simply feels unrealistic, but because of the sheer value of outcome they could experience this fall, from fighting for the top spot in […]

Though Jahan Dotson has technically been a member of the Philadelphia Eagles since August, when Howie Roseman secured his services plus a 2025 fifth-round pick from the Washington Commanders for a 2025 third-round pick and two 2025 seventh-round picks, he’s yet to actually take the field for his new team, with Nick Sirianni and company […]

For fans who decided to spend a portion of their Labor Day curled up in front of the couch to watch Netflix’s latest live special, Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef, they were treated to a little bit of everything, a new hot dog-eating record, Rob Riggle, and… Rey Mysterio? It’s true, while one of the […]
