Arguably the most surprising storyline to come out of SummerSlam weekend wasn’t WWE’s decision to split up the Judgment Day, having Bron Breakker become the IC Champion in a relatively meh match against Sami Zayn, or even the return of Roman Reigns, but instead the return of the Hardy Boyz, Jeff and Matt Hardy, who […]

When it comes to the Los Angeles Rams, the biggest storyline of the summer hasn’t been how the team would replace Aaron Donald, which young players are pushing their veteran counterparts, or even the one-two punch of Jared Verse and Braden Fiske coming in from Florida State but instead Stetson Bennett, the redshirt rookie quarterback […]

With Scott D’Amore officially out of the Impact Zone after a failed attempt to buy the promotion out from under current owner Anthem, it’s safe to say the face of TNA wrestling is Joe Hendry, even if he now gets much more acclaim for his appearances in the WWE Universe as the fastest-rising star in […]

When news broke that rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy, the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, would be out indefinitely with a torn meniscus, it left fans of the Philadelphia Eagles with one thought, and one thought alone: Howie Roseman, get on the phone and offer up Kenny Pickett. Now granted, a torn meniscus […]

While the Philadelphia Eagles’ preseason debut against the Baltimore Ravens was an all-around impressive effort, with plenty of the team’s key players turning in quality efforts, the game wasn’t just about the top-tier talents locked into 53-man roster spots but instead the fringe guys who are looking to make waves and earn important roles. Fortunately, […]

There was a time in early 2022 when the hottest storyline in AEW, nay, professional wrestling period, revolved around the heated feud between MJF and CM Punk.

When it comes to identifying talent, few men have as much pedigree as Paul Heyman, the ECW booker-turned-WWE manager who has held just about every role in professional wrestling at this point.

In case you haven’t heard, Zach LaVine has among the worst trade value of any player in the NBA, with Bobby Marks going so far as to suggest that the Chicago Bulls may have to include a first-round draft pick just to move on from the two-time All-Star in a trade. “Literally, there is no […]

In 2025, John Cena will hit the road for WWE for one final trip around the sun, wrestling matches, cutting promos, and selling so much merch it will make Taylor Swift check her sheets to compare numbers. But how big of a retirement tour should fans expect? Will Cena only hit the major dates across […]

When the Los Angeles Rams drafted Jared Verse in the first round out of 2024 NFL draft, they wanted a difference maker. Standing 6-foot-4, 254 pounds with a 4.58 40-yard dash, 127-inch broad jump, and 31 rep bench press, all of which rank in the 90th or better percentile according to Mockdraftabe, Verse has all […]

With All In rapidly approaching, one question that has been on the top of fans’ minds has been the promotion’s rumored interest in Shane McMahon, the former heir apparent to WWE who has since been allowed to hit free agency after a disapointing final showing at WrestleMania 39. On paper, adding a McMahon to AEW’s […]

With Brandon Aiyuk’s future in San Francisco very much up in the air, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has been forced to get creative in his wide receiver plans, as there’s a very real possibility that he could be down a 1,000-yard receiver for at least some time this fall, if not indefinitely, should a […]

For the fourth time in his five-year NFL career, Jalen Hurts finds himself entering training camp with a new offensive coordinator, with former Boise State UDFA Kellen Moore taking over playcalling duties for Brian Johnson, who, in turn, took over for current Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen as Nick Sirianni’s right-hand man. Now granted, […]

As AEW prepares for its biggest show of the year, All In, at Wembley Stadium, the biggest storyline surrounding the promotion isn’t the retirement of Bryan Danielson, the past sins of Swerve Strickland, the confusing booking of the Young Bucks, or even the Revolutionary War between MJF and Will Ospreay but instead the contract status […]

In the main event of SummerSlam, WWE made it official: Roman Reigns is back, and he’s seemingly all-in on proving who really sits at the head of the Anoa’i-Fatu family as the “Tribal Chief.” Now granted, the “OTC” has been on WWE television for about five minutes combined between SummerSlam and SmackDown, hasn’t wrestled an […]

For… some reason, Kevin Nash has been in the middle of an almost completely one-sided feud with LA Knight.

After exiting the first round of the post-Judgment Day era of WWE on the fallout edition of RAW after SummerSlam, Rhea Ripley decided to open up the Red Brand’s return to the USA Network with a bang, shooting on why she’s happy to be rid of Dominik Mysterio and how excited she is to defeat […]

After spending almost a full year away from football to focus on personal issues, Stetson Bennett made his official in-game return to the Los Angeles Rams in their preseason debut against the Dallas Cowboys.

With Cooper DeJean out of action with a hamstring injury, Philadelphia Eagles fans paid special attention to first-round pick  Quinyon Mitchell as he made his preseason debut in Vic Fangio’s defense against the Baltimore Ravens.

There was a time in the 1980s when Jesse Ventura was one of the most popular members of the WWE – then the WWF – Universe. He was a championship-caliber in-ring worker, a fantastic talker, and is still widely regarded as the borderline prototype for a color commentator in the booth, especially for ex-wrestlers looking […]

When watching the 2024 Paris Olympics, it was hard not to notice that two of the top players on Team USA were members of the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. While this shouldn’t be too surprising, as the duo were targeted by LA for being premier talents at their respective positions, the […]

When you tell the story of Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the players who will earn center stage are LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid… even if the “Process” earned most of his headlines for how well he was conditioned, as opposed to how well he played. Some called him […]

When the Cleveland Browns signed Jameis Winston to back up DeShaun Watson in 2024, it caused more than a few fans to scratch their head around NFL circles.

When John Cena publically announced that 2025 would be his last year as a professional wrestler in WWE, fans just had to know wrestlers would start lining up for one more chance to work with “The Champ.” On paper, it makes sense, right?

While the 2024 NFL season hasn’t even started yet, the San Francisco 49ers already find themselves down a notable piece in their defensive secondary in Ambry Thomas, the fourth-year cornerback out of Michigan, who suffered a broken forearm, as reported by Matt Barrow of The Athletic. “Kyle Shanahan said there were 23 players missing from […]

When Warner Brothers Discovery announced that it was debuting a new show, TNT Overdrive, that, while not technically an AEW-branded show, would heavily feature members of the promotion, it got fans intrigued. How, they wondered, would the show work? Would it be Ridiculousness but with Will Ospreay and Willow Nightingale hosting shows? Or was there […]

When Stetson Bennett decided to step away from the Los Angeles Rams last year to focus on his off-the-field issues, it left fans wondering if they would ever see the Georgia product under center in Sean McVay’s offense ever again. Fast forward a year into the future, and Bennett’s back, but he’s on a team […]

If there’s one major talking point about the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2024 rookie class, it isn’t the instant impact player Quinyon Mitchell appears to be, the emergence of Johnny Wilson as a legit challenger for WR3, or even how Will Shipley could become the next Darren Sproles, but instead the struggles of Ainias Smith, who has […]

When it comes to signing up the next generation of WWE Superstars, the team Shawn Michaels, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and company have put together is boarderline second to none.

When Logan Paul vowed to sue LA Knight for stealing and then smashing out the window of his Prime Hydration truck after SummerSlam, it felt like the opening shots of a renewed feud between the “Maverick” and the “Megastar.” … or did it?

On the fallout edition of SmackDown after SummerSlam, Solo Sikoa and the Guerrillas of Destiny – but no Jacob Fatu – had one simple goal in mind: tell Roman Reigns who the real Bloodline is moving forward.
