Bron Breakker is more or less set for a match with Carmelo Hayes at Stand and Deliver on WrestleMania weekend. Now sure, technically, something interesting could happen, like Paul “Triple H” Levesque kicking the match to the main WrestleMania 39 card in order to put the “Second Generation Steiner” and the “A-Champ” in front of […]

The Hurt Business was one of the most dominant stables during their run in WWE. Consisting of Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander and MVP, they held multiple championships and were a highlight of WWE television during the pandemic era and beyond. Although The Hurt Business split up and came back together during their run […]

After spending weeks trying to get back on the right side of Bobby Lashley and then accompanying the seemingly re-formed duo of Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin down to the ring on RAW, it really seems like MVP is looking to get back into the Hurt Business business. While such a reunion likely won’t happen […]

When JD McDonagh came out during Carmelo Hayes’ opening segment on NXT, he was undoubtedly looking for some smoke, as one does when they challenge a championship contender to a match, but little did he know just how “Unbesiegbar” things would get. Working a back-and-forth match that saw the “A-Champ” work a little closer than […]

Some of WWE’s biggest superstars today came up through NXT. After switching from a competition show to a developmental brand, NXT blew up and took over the wrestling world. We have seen some of wrestling’s biggest names compete in NXT, including Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, Asuka, Drew McIntyre, and many more. Although these […]

Before Carmelo Hayes made his way to NXT Vengeance Day for a non-title, Best Two out of Three Falls match against Apollo Crews, he made a bold prediction that he would only need two falls to secure the win and leave Charlotte victorious. Fast forward to the end of the show, and the “A-Champ” was […]

After securing a win over Apolo Crews at NXT Vengeance Day, Carmelo Hayes was riding high. He and Trick Williams walked down to the ring to sing their praises, and it looked like the duo were preparing for a one-way ticket to wrestle Bron Breakker… at least until JD McDonagh walked down to the ring […]

After taking care of business against Grayson Waller at NXT Vengeance Day, Bron Breakker had a lot to say backstage, even if he said most of it while attempting to catch his breath. He complimented the crowd, complemented the WWE Universe, and even complimented the atmosphere of the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. “Ah, […]

Bron Breakker is one tough you-know-what. A second-generation star with just about the best pedigree one could imagine within WWE – even if he doesn’t use the Steiner last name – Breakker has won almost every match he’s wrestled in the promotion and has a winning record against every single performer on the NXT roster […]

Normally, the second fall of a Best Two out of Three Falls match is pretty boring. Like yes, technically the match can be won on the second fall of a best-of-three match, but most bookers avoid that urge to give the fans a bit more wrestling and to use it as a storytelling mechanism, especially […]

Grayson Waller has been an active member of the WWE Universe since all the way back in June of 2021, when he made his in-ring debut under his current gimmick on an episode of 205 Live. Since then, Waller has worked a respectable 60 matches between 205 Live, NXT, Main Event, and the WrestleMania 38 […]

As the dynamic duo of Booker T and Vic Joseph pointed out multiple times on commentary, Wes Lee hasn’t exactly had the best year as a member of NXT. His long-time partner, Nash Carter-now Zachary Wentz, whom he’s been tagging with since 2018 as The Rascalz on the indies and MSK in NXT, was released […]

After weeks of anticipation, WWE is bringing back Halloween Havoc as a right-proper “Premium Live Event” for NXT. They’ve booked Shotzi to come down to Orlando as a special host for the event, secured an 8 pm Saturday start for the show on Peacock as opposed to two hours on a Wednesday with normal commercial […]

With NXT’s Halloween Havoc right around the corner, Shawn Michaels got on a conference call with reporters to discuss the shape of his little corner of the WWE Universe and the big plans he has for the WCW-stolen “Premium Live Event” moving forward. “I really feel like this is gonna be, from an NXT standpoint, […]

Shawn Michaels is the best one of the best wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots; he’s won 14 WWE championships, took part in two of the best matches in WrestleMania history with his series against The Undertaker in 2009 and 2010, and was part of one of the most prolific factions in […]

NXT 2.0, to a large degree, was defined by Carmelo Hayes. A two-time North American Champion who spent a combined 273 days with the title around his waist, Hayes wrestled in some of the most consequential matches in the Jackson Pollock-era of NXT history, including his five-way ladder match to decide on the NXT North […]

After initially being held off of the Worlds Collide card, NXT’s North American Champion, Carmelo Hayes, took it personally. He logged onto social media to air out his grievances, made a video to stake his claim, and ultimately made his way to the ring at the end of NXT’s go-home show to shoot his shot […]

Current NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes is not very happy with Shawn Michaels at the moment. Though the man known as the Heartbreak Kid has been a massive supporter of Hayes in the past, going so far as to take this picture with him after winning the North American Championship, there apparently has been […]

Oh, what a difference a week can make to the NXT/WWE Universe. Since fully taking over as the EVP of Global Talent Strategy and Development/chief creative mind of the WWE Universe ahead of the penultimate edition of Smackdown before SummerSlam, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has brought wrestling back to television, nixed the 24/7 Championship from […]

SummerSlam is here; the WWE Universe has descended onto Nashville for a night of grudge matches, tests of strength, and a test to see who will be the Last Man Standing. Surely the eyes of the WWE Universe are on the Premium Live Event, but one person has very different eyes on the prize: NXT’s […]

WWE superstar Apollo Crews made a shocking return to NXT on Tuesday night. Crews has been on the main roster since 2016, when he was called up from the NXT black and gold brand. Cruise never won a championship in NXT, and it looks as though he might be attempting to change that in 2022. […]
