Hulk Hogan is a lot of things; he’s arguably the most instantly recognizable professional wrestler of all time, arguably the most successful professional of all time across a wide range of subjects, and a certified shooter who is willing to tell tails about his historic run in the ring, even if on occasion, he doesn’t […]

If there’s one man in the world who knows a thing or two about Brock Lesnar, both inside and out of the ring, it’s Shelton Benjamin. A fellow alumnus of the University of Minnesota, Lesnar, and Benjamin have been working in WWE together in one form or another for over 20 years, with the duo […]

Brock Lesnar isn’t just a wrestler; he’s a force. When he shows up in WWE for the few matches he wrestles a year, he rolls through, collects his million-or-so dollars, and runs through the hits – the F5s, the trips to Suplex City, the Kimuras – before doing his job one way or another. Though […]

After securing the rubber match victory over Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar locked eyes. What would happen?

When Cody Rhodes marched down to the SummerSlam ring to the anthemic notes of his theme song, “Kingdom,” it was all smiles from the “American Nightmare.” Though he didn’t exactly tell the kids shaking his hands that they should say their prayers and eat their vitamins, Rhodes was in full-on red, white, and blue babyface […]

When Dave Meltzer reported that WWE was planning a “huge stipulation” for the SummerSlam rubber match between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar, fans were hyped to see what Paul “Triple H” Levesque had in store for the “Grandson of a Plummer” and the “Beast Incarnate” in the Motor City. Well, with the final SmackDown before […]

When Cody Rhodes lost his match against Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39, a significant portion of his momentum was lost along with it.

What would Paul Heyman have been without Brock Lesnar? What would Brock Lesnar have been without Paul Heyman?

When Roman Reigns returned to WWE in August of 2020, he wasn’t the same old “Big Dog” fans had come to know and despise, instead opting to become a leaner, meaner, more aggressive “Tribal Chief” with none other than Paul Heyman walking by his side. Together, the pairing formed one of the most dominant factions […]

Though Kurt Angle hasn’t wrestled a match since all the way back in 2019, when he was famously pinned by Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35 – a fact the former King brought up during his return to NXT on Tuesday – every few months, someone either asks the “Olympic Hero” about the prospects of coming […]

In 2004, Kurt Angle was one of the elder statesmen of WWE. A four-time WWE Heavyweight Champion with runs holding the Intercontinental Championship, the Hardcore Championship, the United States Championship, and the Tag Team Championship, Angle was one of the biggest names in the company and one of the most prominent performers in WWE too, […]

Seth Rollins made history at Night of Champions by becoming the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion.

Throughout history, the WWE has produced several stars that we have come to love. In the past, we’ve seen titular clashes that went down as some of the greatest matches in WWE history. However, that doesn’t mean we got to see all the dream matches we wanted. For a variety of reasons, there are times […]

At Night of Champions, the WWE Universe was treated to the newest chapter of “The CodyVerse” and like any good trilogy – or at least like the original Star Wars trilogy – this chapter ended in defeat, with the hero’s camp wondering if he will ever be able to overcome the big, bad boss after […]

Wrestlemania is dubbed as the showcase of the immortals. Because of this, almost every WWE wrestler dreams of making it to the event in order to find the coveted Wrestlemania moment.

On Raw Monday night, WWE fans saw Cody Rhodes once again faced with another obstacle on his way to not only Night of Champions but destiny.

After taking an absolute beatdown at the hands of Brock Lesnar in “The Sweetest Place on Earth,” Hershey, Pennsylvania, potentially breaking his arm in the process, Cody Rhodes refused conversations with almost every member of the RAW touring staff, with Adam Pearce getting kicked to the curb on multiple occasions.

When Brock Lesnar ran head-first into an exposed turnbuckle at WWE Backlash to split his forehead clean open in his main event match against Cody Rhodes, it was an unusual spot for the typically blood-adverse promotion, so much so that they actually played back the highlights in black and white on RAW to cover up […]

After taking an absolute beatdown at the hands of Brock Lesnar during his opening round battle against The Miz and Finn Balor in the WWE World Heavyweight Tournament, Cody Rhodes was approached by Cathy Kelley to see if he had any intentions to accept “The Beast Incarnate’s” challenge to “fight” at Night of Champions in […]
