While the next few months will be incredibly busy for Becky Lynch, with a spot in the Elimination Chamber officially booked and a chance for a prominent match at WrestleMania a single win away, things will be extra interesting for “The Man” because soon, she will be a published author, with her debut book, “Becky […]

In the lead-up to Super Bowl LVIII, one of the biggest storylines to come from the notoriously buzzy radio row uber press conference belonged to… WWE Superstar Seth Rollins, becoming the second major active WWE Superstar to comment on the Vince McMahon allegations in a public way. Talking to Maggie & Perloff of CBS Sports […]

Before Becky Lynch was a Grand Slam Champion, a WrestleMania main eventer, “The Man,” or even a Four Horsewomen, she was a girl from Ireland with a degree from Dublin Institute of Technology who dreamed of being a WWE Superstar.

If there’s one person who is not particularly cheery about working alongside CM Punk in 2023, it’s Seth Rollins.

After officially retiring from the WWE in 2006 and being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013, few expected to see Trish Stratus back in the professional wrestling world for more than a cup of coffee in 2023, as she was initially brought back to serve as emotional support for the tag team […]

For the longest time, Nia Jax has been the albatross around Becky Lynch‘s neck.

When Nia Jax took the ring against Becky Lynch on RAW, she really has nothing to lose. Sure, Lynch talked a big game, about her own legacy, about Jax’s part in it, and about their forthcoming match set to take place at some point in the future, but the “Irresistible Force” didn’t have to do […]

Since securing a role in NXT and especially since landing the head creative role in NXT, Shawn Michaels has pretty much seen, not to mention booked, it all. He’s booked Goldberg-esque unbeatable babyface champions, put over “outsiders” from the main roster, and has even overseen multiple controversies that were out of his control, most notably […]

Coming into Survivor Series, Damage CTRL had all of the momentum ahead of their WarGames match against the thrown-together quartet of Becky Lynch, Shotzi, Bianca Belair, and Charlotte Flair. Sure, Bayley’s faction isn’t has seen some upheaval as of late, with Kairi Sane – a former Bayley rival – and her former Kabuki Warriors tag […]

Drew McIntyre has been a member of the WWE Universe, at least this go around, since 2017, when he parlayed a revolutionary run on the indies into an impressive run through NXT and a return to the main roster at the Royal Rumble 2019. Since making his fateful return in 2019, McIntyre has won hundreds […]

When Lyra Valkyria, the plucky 27-year-old babyface from Dublin, Ireland, was booked for a main event match against Becky Lynch, the 36-year-old veteran babyface from Limerick, Ireland, it felt like nothing more than a pair of fellow countrymen attempting to put each other over. Sure, Valkyria can certainly go, as she’d already held four titles […]

After taking a loss to “The Man” Becky Lynch at No Mercy, fans have begun to wonder what Tiffany Stratton, the former NXT Women’s Champion, would do next in the WWE Universe.

When news broke that “The Man” herself, Becky Lynch, was going to headline No Mercy with her match against Tiffany Stratton, it turned more than a few heads around the professional wrestling world.

When Shawn Michaels took over for his long-time DX partner Paul “Triple H” Levesque as the leader of NXT, he was given the unenviable task of getting more eyes on WWE’s developmental product.

After weeks of anticipation, NXT will finally take their show on the road to Bakersfield, California, for a six-match – plus one more on the pre-show – running of No Mercy.

After being stuck in the Performance Center since all the way back in late July, NXT is finally taking the show on the road once more for No Mercy, a fun callback to a vintage WWE Pay-Per-View – and legendary video game – coming to fans live from Bakersfield, California. In a few short hours, […]

When news broke that Becky Lynch was heading down to NXT for a one-on-one throwdown with Tiffany Stratton for the NXT Women’s Championship, it got fans buzzing about what Paul “Triple H” Levesque had up his sleeve.

When Trish Stratus first returned to the WWE Universe on February 27th, few imagined that the 47-year-old Hall of Famer would still be going strong seven months later as a regular part of the main roster. Sure, Stratus is a legit legend, and she’s only actually wrestled 10 matches since making her return, but still, […]

Late Wednesday night, mere hours after Excalibur ran through the cards for Rampage and Collision on Dynamite, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported that Jade Cargill, the longest-reigning TBS Champion in history, was planning to leave AEW for WWE very, very, very soon.

When it comes to female wrestlers in WWE, there is Rhea Ripley, and then there’s everyone else. The “Eradicator” of the Judgment Day with 34 straight singles victories in 2023 alone, Ripley doesn’t just defeat opponents in the ring; she dominates them with wicked efficiency, with the vast majority of those defenses coming in under […]

When Tiffany Stratton announced that she was a better NXT Women’s Champion than Asuka, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and even Becky Lynch on NXT after her win over Thea Hail, it set the seeds for a match that any fans wanted to see, the champ versus “The Man” with the title on the line, but few […]

Seth Rollins has seen a lot over his decade in the WWE Universe; He’s been at the top of the card, he’s been held off of Premium Live Events, and even had to fight tooth and nail to get a mystery opponent at WrestleMania 38, even if that ultimately worked out in his favor. Over […]

After four months of back-and-forth interactions, ups, downs, near wins, and brutal misses, Becky Lynch finally got to have Trish Stratus where she wanted her, in a Payback steel cage where no one, not Bayley, not IYO SKY, and especially not Zoey Stark could get involved in the finish.

When Trish Stratus began her friendship and eventual feud with Becky Lynch, it felt oddly familiar.
