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 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.

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.

On paper, it […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers might just be the most interesting team in the entire NFL heading into the 2024 season.

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?

After securing the first and biggest win of his WWE career since returning to the company at Survivor Series 2023, CM Punk was feeling pretty darn good about himself.

After being the worst team in the NFL last season, the Carolina Panthers find themselves in an interesting spot heading into the 2024 NFL season.

When it comes to the Baltimore Ravens, the safety position just seems to mean more.

For much of Scott D’Amore’s time at TNA/Impact, WWE was the enemy.
