When Rhea Ripley outlasted the field and won the 2023 Royal Rumble, it left fans with one obvious conclusion: Mami was going to main event Night 1 of WrestleMania 39. On paper, the assumption made sense, right? Since WrestleMania expanded to two nights instead of a one-day tour de force, female performers have always had […]

When Rhea Ripley won the 2023 Woman’s Royal Rumble, it marked a major moment in her WWE career. Sure, Ripley has won titles in the past, both on the main roster and in NXT, but this mattered maybe more than any other because it allowed her to quite literally shoot her shot at whomever she […]

When Tony Khan announced at Worlds End that Andrade El Idolo was heading to free agency following the culmination of his contract, it left folks from around the professional wrestling world, from folks on social media to wrestling podcasters like Jim Ross, having a pretty good idea of where he’ll wrestle next: WWE. On paper, […]

When news broke that Charlotte Flair suffered a series of injuries that would leave her out of action for the foreseeable future, it left fans wondering how WWE would address the loss of one of the brand’s top stars regardless of age, brand, or gender. Would WWE opt to elevate a younger star to a […]

When news broke that Charlotte Flair was not only going to miss extensive time with a combination ACL, MCL, and meniscus injury, but would have to undergo surgery to repair the injury in January of 2024, it left fans wondering when they would see “The Queen” next. Would fans rally around Flair when she eventually […]

When Michael Cole broke the news that Charlotte Flair, the “Queen of WWE” and 14-time Women’s Champion, would be out for at least the next nine months with a combination ACL, MCL, and a meniscus injury that would require surgery, it sent the very future of the WWE woman’s division into question. Despite being without […]

What does Ric Flair bring to AEW? Well, for one, he certainly brings the promotion extra publicity, even if it isn’t always for the right reasons. He also brings the promotion additional revenue as part of his Woooo! Energy drink, a deal Eric Bischoff has suggested could pay part of, if not all of the […]

As a WWE Hall of Famer-turned-backstage producer, few performers have had as up close and personal of an experience in the WWE Universe as Molly Holly, the two-time Woman’s World Champion who has since gone on to work with current generation champions like Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and beyond. With 503 matches wrestled, hundreds more […]

If there’s one thing Ric Flair knows a thing or two about even now, it’s the psychology of professional wrestling. Sure, he might not be perfectly synced with all of the new ways of doing things, as he likely can’t tell the difference between a Hurricanrana and a Poison Rana and probably wouldn’t care to […]

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. To pretty much every fan of professional wrestling, this news, if true, […]

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 […]

After wishing farewell to Bray Wyatt on social media like many of her fellow WWE Superstars, Becky Lynch wore a special armband down to the ring on RAW to celebrate her fallen friend’s memory before beating the you-know-what out of Trish Stratus and Zoey Stark in the (presumably) penultimate match of this six months-spanning feud. […]

With SummerSlam rapidly approaching, you’d think Charlotte Flair would be spending her time getting in the gym, perfecting her submission maneuvers, and looking for counters to Bianca Belair’s KOD and Asuka’s Muta Mist, right? Yeah, not so much. No, with the biggest show of the summer on the books for the first Saturday in Detroit, […]

When Bianca Belair found herself booked for a tag team match with Charlotte Flair on SmackDown, it put the “EST of WWE” in a precarious situation. On one hand, Belair has been dying to recapture her RAW Women’s Championship – now the WWE Women’s Championship – since she lost the title to Asuka at Night […]

If there’s one thing you don’t want to do in the WWE Universe, it’s getting on the wrong side of Rhea Ripley. The deFacto leader of The Judgment Day, who has matured the faction from an unsuccessful late-career vehicle for Edge to a faction that can say it runs RAW with a straight face, Ripley […]

After securing a win in an incredibly lopsided match against arguably the most talented female performer on the entire WWE roster, IYO SKY, Charlotte Flair was riding high, even if she lost both of her eyelashes in the match thanks to a sneak attack by Asuka. Discussing the match alongside Cathy Kelley, Flair noted that […]

With SmackDown coming to fans from Orlando, Florida, Paul “Triple H” Levesque took it upon himself to give fans a preview of what’s to come in the WWE Universe by having young stars like Carmelo Hayes, Wes Lee, the Cavinder Twins, and Tiffany Stratton wave to the crowd watching at home. For Stratton specifically, making […]

With a title shot finally booked against Asuka for the WWE Women’s Champion on SmackDown, Bianca Belair took the ring for the opening segment of the show in order to lay out her plans for the proceedings. “You know, people always say things like patience is a virtue and good times come to those who […]

After 14 reigns with a world title, Charlotte Flair has pretty much faced off against any performer one can think of within the WWE Universe. Becky Lynch? Been there, done that over 300 times if you count tag team matches. Rhea Ripley? That’s happened, too, most recently at WrestleMania 39. Heck, outside of NXT stars […]

After charging down to the ring in Madison Square Garden to put a beating on “Murder Clown” Asuka following a, shall we say, eventful Women’s Championship match between the current champ and Charlotte Flair at the O2 Afrena in London, Bianca Belair was feeling a certain type of way on SmackDown, likely a mixture of […]

Who inspired current NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton to become a WWE Superstar? Was it Trish Stratus, a performer with a very similar moniker? Or maybe the Divas era of WWE, where performers leaned much more into the sort of character she portrays on WWE television? Well, as it turns out, the answer is none […]

After securing a big, surprise win over Lacey Evans on SmackDown, Charlotte Flair was feeling very good. Sitting down for an interview with Megan Morant on the SmackDown LowDown, “The Queen” noted that, after securing a tune-up win, she’s ready for Asuka to experience a different Charlotte Flair at Money in the Bank. “Well, I […]

In WWE, there aren’t many female Superstars who have found the same level of success as Charlotte Flair. A former NXT Champion, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, a former RAW Women’s Champion, a former SmackDown Women’s Champion, and even a former Divas Champion, with 14 total reigns with a World Championship to her credit, even […]

After being looked over, yet again, for a rematch with Asuka for the WWE Women’s Championship – aka the former RAW Women’s Championship – Bianca Belair told Adam Pearce that she was done sitting around waiting for an opportunity to shine and decided to take the matter into her own hands. What did that mean […]

Who is the greatest Four Horsewoman of the WWE Women’s Revolution? Is it Charlotte Flair? Becky Lynch? Bayley? Or how about Mercedes Moné, aka the artist formerly known as Sasha Banks, who was crushing it as a member of New Japan Pro Wrestling before suffering a leg injury at New Japan Resurgence in Long Beach, […]

After years of fielding brand-specific women’s championship belts for RAW and SmackDown, WWE officially debuted not one but two new women’s championship straps, with the Red Brand getting the WWE Women’s World Championship and the Blue Brand taking the WWE Women’s Championship, which is a tad confusing – maybe that’s why Charlotte Flair leapfrogged Bianca […]

On SmackDown, Bianca Belair did everything right; she expressed her feeling to Adam Pearce about being overlooked for a rematch with Asuka but promised not to interrupt her championship coronation ceremony in order to be a gracious loser and a good spot. … but then Charlotte Flair returned for the first time since April and […]

After looking like the next big thing since pretty much the moment she debuted on the main roster, Tiffany Stratton has finally been given a chance to state her case as the next big thing in the WWE Women’s Division. Winning the NXT Women’s Championship at Battleground after Indi Hartwell vacated the strap due to […]

After winning – some might say stealing – the RAW Women’s Championship from Bianca Belair at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, Asuka was set to upgrade her strap from the familiar red and gold belt fans have come to know and love thanks to champions like Becky Lynch and Bayley to a brand new […]

Though Ric Flair and John Cena don’t have an expansive in-ring history together, with the duo wrestling in the same ring on just seven occasions – five as a tag team, twice on battle royals – the duo will forever be linked because of their unique spots in wrestling history. “The Guy” in their respective […]

Becky Lynch has had one of the most storied careers in WWE history. She is a former 4-time SmackDown and 2-time Raw Women’s Champion, Women’s Tag Team Champion, 2019 Royal Rumble Winner, and the Sixth Women’s Triple Crown Champion. Honestly, there isn’t a whole lot that Lynch hasn’t accomplished during her wrestling career. Along with […]

Heading into WrestleMania 39, one of the biggest controversies surrounding “The Showcase of the Immortals” involved who would main event Night 1, Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship or Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens versus The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship belt. On paper, both sides had a pretty […]

With WrestleMania 39 firmly in the rearview mirror, Rhea Ripley was invited into After The Bell with Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick to discuss her main event-caliber match with Charlotte Flair on Night 1, even if it technically landed the penultimate spot on the card instead of the main event. While Ripley understood the decision […]

When news broke that not only was WWE officially merging with UFC under the Endeavor brand to become the one entity, but that Vince McMahon was going to be sticking about in the role of “Executive Chairman,” it left fans wondering whether the last eight months of exceptional booking, wrestling-heavy shows, and storylines that had […]

Charlotte Flair is a WWE legend. She’s won more world championships than any other woman in WWE history, has headlined “Premium Live Events” across the country, and will eventually join fellow WrestleMania performers Lita, Trish Stratus, and Rey Mysterio in the Hall of Fame when she decides to hang up her robes for good. But […]

While Rhea Ripley has been busy as of late accompanying Dominik Mysterio to the ring, discussing her desire to wrestle for the Intercontinental Championship, and just generally serving as the public face of The Judgement Day ahead of a choice spot at WrestleMania 39, one thing “The Eradicator” can’t forget about is the actual task […]

As Rhea Ripley prepares for arguably the biggest match of her career, one would think she is totally and solely focused on securing the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39, right? I mean, with the match all but certainly set to main event Night 1 of WrestleMania and the SmackDown title on the line, Ripley […]

When Charlotte Flair took the ring for a pre-WrestleMania 39 promo on SmackDown, the reaction she received from the crowd was classic Charlotte Flair. She received “what?” chants, she got booed, and through it all, the SmackDown Women’s Champion was largely unflappable, talking about her dad, talking about her legacy, and, most importantly of all, […]

Rhea Ripley is not someone folks typically want to mess with within the WWE Universe. She’s a powerhouse who can slam Luke Gallows, a dominant performer who has won 90 percent of her matches in 2023, and potentially the SmackDown Women’s Champion if she’s able to take care of business against the Charlotte Flair at […]
