Heading into the Elimination Chamber, Johnny Gargano was “starving” to win the United States Championship and fully announce his arrival to the WWE Universe. Sure, he was the underdog in the match as both the smallest and (one of the) least decorated performers in the match on the main roster, but after spending years as […]

After taking care of business in his mixed tag match with his wife Beth Phoenix against The Judgement Day duo of Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley, Edge waited patiently for his turn to take the mic at the post-WWE Elimination Chamber press conference and found himself listening to Austin Theory effectively cut a promo on […]

After watching a strangely-paced Women’s Elimination Chamber match to start off the WWE Elimination Chamber “Premium Live Event,” the fans in Montreal were really feeling the men’s running of the match… at least for a time. On paper, the match had a little bit of everything, exciting feats of strength when Damian Priest and Bronson […]

The WWE is filled with many young up-and-coming talents with a bright future ahead of them. There are some superstars who you know will become world champions one day. At the same time, some superstars need a little more work before being thrown into the main event scene. With Triple H in charge of creative, […]

The Elimination Chamber PPV is shaping up to be an early candidate for the event of the year. WWE is putting together a card better than I could have ever expected it to be only a few weeks removed from the Royal Rumble. We all knew the event would be highlighted by Roman Reigns vs. […]

A lot of things changed in the world of wrestling in 2022. Nothing was more shocking, though, when Vince McMahon stepped down as CEO and Chairman of WWE. Since then, his son-in-law Triple H has been head of creative duties for WWE, which, in my humble opinion, has been going very well. Fans have noticed […]

Folks, it’s official: Brock Lesnar is back in the WWE, and he’s got one very specific superstar in his sights. First, the setup; after returning from his suspension, Bobby Lashley has been back on the same business he’s been on since last fall: winning back the United States Championship. Heckbent on besting Austin Theory for […]

Folks, it’s official: Bobby Lashley is back on Monday Night RAW. That’s right, after fighting with darn-near everyone he could get his hands on, the former WWE Champion had his firing rescinded, served out his suspension, and is now fully back in the ring, ready to continue his pursuit of Austin Theory’s United States Championship […]

When it was announced that Seth “Freakin’” Rollins and Austin Theory would close out the first televised episode of WWE programming with a match for the WWE United States Championship, it felt like a massive deal. The duo were working the match across the WWE Holiday Tour circuit, albeit in a cage match, and even […]

Though Bobby Lashley may still technically be a member of the WWE Universe, as his firing from The Fed was reversed by Adam Pearce, presumably at the behest of Paul “Triple H” Levesque, “The Almighty One” isn’t exactly the biggest concern for current United States Champion Austin Theory at the moment. No, that honor belongs […]

Bobby Lashley hasn’t been the same since he lost his United States Championship to Seth Rollins on the October 10th edition of WWE RAW. Since then, Lashley’s gotten into fights with Brock Lesnar after losing a match at Crown Jewel, gotten into fights with Rollins and Austin Theory in various unscheduled segments that ultimately led […]

Heading into RAW, Mustafa Ali really wanted a chance to compete for the WWE United States Championship. He cut a filmed promo for Twitter where he detailed just how much the title would mean for him, including allusions to his time in High School during 9/11 and his time as a police officer in Chicago, […]

“I have a message that is much bigger than my dreams in pro wrestling. Despite my best efforts, I will not be able to deliver this message while working with WWE. Therefore, I am requesting my release from WWE.” – these words, tweeted out by Mustafa Ali on January 16th, 2022, serve as a stark […]

“And I wanted to make mention of new United States Champion Austin Theory. Unfortunately for him, his career was dead two weeks ago, (now) it’s resurrected, so that’s a pretty good feat for him. He’s gonna walk on water next, it’s gonna be good. ” – these words, spoken by WWE’s Chief Content Officer Paul […]

Austin Theory. Austin “A-Town Down” Theory. Austin “Freakin” Theory; no matter what you call him, the prized adoptive son of Vince McMahon, the man responsible for the worst cash-in in the history of the Money in the Bank contract, just did the unthinkable and made himself the youngest two-time United States Champion in the history […]

After having to suffer through surprise attacks from Bobby Lashley and Austin Theory in subsequent weeks, the WWE United States Champion, Seth Rollins, was afforded a chance to talk to Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick about how things have been going on RAW and why he agreed to defend his title in a three-way match […]

Not too long ago, Austin Theory was dubbed the “future of the WWE” and was hand-picked by Vince McMahon to be the next young superstar in the company. For a while, it seemed this would be the case. Theory was winning mid-card championships and even becoming the youngest Money in the Bank winner in history. […]

When Austin Theory ran out with his Money in the Bank Briefcase during the final segment of WWE RAW broadcast live from beautiful Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, it changed the course of his WWE run and of WWE’s briefcase-housed open contract forever. For the fans in attendance, and even watching from home, history was literally unfolding […]

In WWE, a Money in the Bank cash-in is about the easiest way to win a championship. Since coming into existence in 2005, 80.95 percent of male cash-in attempts have been successful, with just John Cena, Damien Sandow, Baron Corbin, and Braun Strowman serving as the only men in the promotion’s history to lose in […]

Welp, it’s official: Johnny Gargano’s undefeated streak is officially over. He won’t go down as an undefeated WWE Superstar, his record will be forever tarnished, and, after watching his wife, Candice LeRae, lose her match against Dakota Kai thanks to interference from Bayley and IYO SKY, it’s pretty safe to say the Gargano household isn’t […]

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 […]

Ever since Vince McMahon hung up his suit and had to find a new gym away from Titan Towers, Austin Theory has been without a father figure in the WWE Universe. Granted, Theory has talked himself up without Mr. McMahon by his side, acting like a big, strong boy like he’s Tyler “Freakin’” Bates of […]

One of the most interesting developments of the Paul “Triple H” Levesque era has been how WWE has handled Austin Theory. Once the handpicked heir to Vince McMahon, who had a rocket strapped to his back on the way to one of the most meteoric six-month runs in recent WWE memory that included a run […]

Dolph Ziggler is one of the most tenured performers in WWE today. Initially debuting as an up-and-coming young gun looking to take the industry by storm, Ziggler has accomplished more or less everything a performer could hope for within The Fed, having won the World Heavyweight Championship twice, the World Tag Team Championship, the NXT […]

Goodness, another week, another big-time in-ring squash by Kevin Owens as he looks to recapture his place at the WWE’s top “Prize Fighter.” It all started out well enough, when Austin Theory, with his first name officially back and his jaw still jacked from taking a fist to the face from Tyson Fury, took the […]

Deep in the thralls of an absolute slugfest between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre that felt like it might go on forever, who would appear to shake up the match but Austin Theory, the current holder of the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase and the contract it holds? Oh no, was Theory seriously going […]

The Austin Theory mega-push is officially underway. After months of building him up, the WWE all but announced their intentions for the former EVOLVE champion in the 2022 Money in the Bank. After slotting him in as a surprise addition to the MITB Ladder Match, Theory beat out stars like Seth Rollins, Sheamus, and Riddle […]

You’ve heard of fighting champions, but how about a posing champion? Well, if you happen to be a fan WWE RAW, specifically since Theory defeated Finn Balor for the United States Championship back in April, you’ve fast become familiar with the term and likely have an opinion one way or another on the topic. Since […]

Brock Lesnar is this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble Winner, last eliminating Drew McIntyre, giving him a shot at the champion of his choice at Wrestlemania 38. We got an interesting matchup as the first two competitors in this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble: AJ Styles at #1 and the Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura at #2. Both […]
