After a hard-hitting weekend of WarGames and a week of television that dealt with the corresponding fallout, the next chapter of WWE’s women’s division came into frame on Monday Night RAW, when not one but two matches were held in a mini-tournament to decide on the next contender for Bianca Balair’s championship. The festivities started […]

Since Damage CTRL made their collective debut as a unit at SummerSlam 2022, the faction has taken the WWE Universe by storm. Despite being “designated” to the RAW roster, the faction has routinely popped up on both Mondays and Fridays thanks in no small part to the team of Dakota Kai and IYO SKY winning […]

Though Marina Shafir has technically been a member of the AEW Galaxy for almost a year now, making her debut on AEW Dark on December 14th, 2021, to many, her biggest contribution to the professional wrestling world remains her run in NXT from 2018-21, when she and fellow MMA fighter Jessamyn Duke signed with the […]

With Survivor Series officially less than two weeks away, Rhea Ripley is set to pull double duty in the WWE Universe, as the enforcer of Judgement Day will all but surely back up her faction-mate Finn Balor in his one-on-one grudge match against fellow former Bullet Club leader A.J. Styles before taking part in the […]

When it was announced that  Bianca Belair and Bayley were going to take part in a Last Woman Standing match at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, fans were mixed on the prospects of the contest. Sure, after watching Belair and Bayley duke it out multiple times since the latter returned to the WWE Universe […]

Roxanne Perez finds herself in an interesting spot ahead of NXT’s Halloween Havoc. With her deep-seated feud with Cora Jade set to come to a head at the spooky “Premium Live Event” in a Weapons Wild Match, both performers were afforded opportunities to select their rivals’ next opponent in a Pick Your Poison match on […]

In the second of two championship matches booked for Extreme Rules, WWE presented fans with one simple question: who would be the face of RAW? Would it remain Bianca Belair, the uber babyface who represents the company on College GameDay, in Target commercials, and as the face of more than a few charities? Or Bayley, […]

A lot has changed about Shotzi Blackheart since she made the jump from NXT to SmackDown within the WWE Universe. For one thing, Shotzi is a Blackheart no more, as Vince McMahon opted to streamline her name like he had to oh so many other performers before. Then, in an even crueler twist of fate, […]

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 […]

After having her WWE Tag Team Championship belt taken away by Dakota Kai and IYO SKY on RAW, Raquel Rodriquez wanted revenge on Bayley and Damage Control. She watched Bayley consistently interfere in their tag team match, watched Aliyah suffer an injury that currently has her on the shelf, and watched the world complain that […]

After Clash at the Castle, it’s hard to argue that any act on RAW is hotter than Bayley and Damage Control. The trio defeated Alexa Bliss, Asuka, and RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair,  have run through every opponent on the RAW roster who has gotten in their way save a controversial loss to Raquel Rodriguez […]

When the trio of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY debuted as a trio at SummerSlam, it felt like an inflection point in the WWE women’s division. Sure, none of these performers were necessarily new to the WWE Universe, as Bayley is a member of the Four Horsewomen, and both Kai and SKY had prolific […]

After securing a massive win over Natalya and Sonya Deville on SmackDown, Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez have officially secured themselves a spot in the finale of WWE’s Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament, where they will wrestle Dakota Kai and IYO SKY for the vacant titles. While their path to the finals wasn’t particularly fraught with […]

When IYO SKY returned to WWE at SummerSlam to team up with Bayley and Dakota Kai in a group that may or may not end up being called Damage CTRL, it shook the future of current RAW Women’s Champion, Bianca Belair, to her core. After finally besting Becky Lynch in her home state, marking the […]

Though she hasn’t been an active wrestler since 2019, when she lost to Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam, and has been a Hall of Famer for almost a decade, Trish Stratus remains one of the most popular performers in WWE history both among fans and her peers. A seven-time WWE Women’s Champion, one-time WWE Hardcore Champion, […]

Bayley’s return to the WWE Universe has been a resounding success. Her return following the first match at SummerSlam generated a massive pop, her ability to play a crowd as a talker was sorely missed, and her decision to bring back two former NXT standouts, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky, for the ride ushered in […]

“I smell war… and I’m game” these words, laid out over a Dakota Kai Instagram story that also featured a promotional poster for WWE’s Clash at the Castle, pretty well qualifies the relationship between the invading team of Bayley, Kai, and Iyo Sky and Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, and Asuka, the babyface trio looking to […]

Dakota Kai‘s return to the WWE Universe has been a resounding success. A long-time NXT fan favorite who had some great matches with Raquel Rodriguez, against the performer then-known as Io Shirai, and even as a member of WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames III, where her team of Candice LeRae, Rhea Ripley, and Tegan Nox lost […]

After months of trying to make an ill-fated heel turn work, Becky Lynch officially returned to her babyface ways at SummerSlam, where she shook hands with Bianca Belair after losing the WWE RAW Women’s Championship to the “Est of WWE” and then came to her former rival’s aid when the trio of Bayley, Dakota Kai, […]

The WWE are certainly no strangers to name changes when it comes to their expansive roster. Sure, sometimes a name change is necessary in repackaging a wrestler to get them over with a new crowd – just ask X-Pac if he still wanted to be known as The 1-2-3 Kid when he returned from WCW […]

Folks, after over a year away, Bayley is officially back in the WWE Universe, and it looks like she’s brought some friends. Yup, you read that correctly; after suffering a torn ACL in the leadup to Money in the Bank 2021, Bayley has returned to the WWE Universe with a new, all-white outfit – including […]

As you may or may not have noticed, Bayley has been gone from WWE for quite some time, having suffered a torn ACL in the lead-up to Money in the Bank 2021. Though the last name-less superstar has still remained a fixture of the WWE Universe, with the occasional appearance on the company’s television programming […]

Outside of the WWE ring, Bayley and Liv Morgan are buddies. They’ve appeared together on Xavier Woods/Austin Creed’s UpUpDownDown YouTube channel, goofed around backstage before/during shows, and have shared the ring on 92 occasions, first at a house show for the NXT Women’s Championship, and most recently in February of 2021 on SmackDown, just four […]

With Money in the Bank officially in the rearview, the WWE Universe is looking to reset following a number of pretty notable changes. Bobby Lashley is the new United States Champion, Theory is the new Men’s Money in the Bank briefcase holder, and after winning the women’s edition of the show’s namesake match earlier in […]
