If you’re a fan of professional wrestling, especially one who got into the sport in the heyday of the Monday Night Wars, you’re probably familiar with the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T‘s addition to the post-wrestling media landscape that runs through the greatest hits of professional wrestling past, present, and future And yet, on […]

Though Drew McIntyre already has his big match lined up at WrestleMania 40, throwing down with Seth Rollins in one of his two matches of the weekend for the World Heavyweight Championship, the one match WWE fans want to see more than any other is the “Scottish Warrior” versus CM Punk, the “Second City Saint” […]

After watching Seth Rollins take swing after swing at the biggest, baddest faction in all of professional wrestling, The Bloodline, since Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made his triumphant return at RAW Day 1, it’s hard not to forget that he’s technically set to face-off against Drew McIntyre at the “Showcase of the Immortals,” marking their […]

When it comes to RAW, there are three performers who stand at the top of the card, vying for the title and designation of the brand’s top spot on the card: Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Cody Rhodes, who is technically wrestling for the top title on SmackDown at WrestleMania 40 but curiously remains on […]

When CM Punk was officially fired from AEW, created one of the biggest ‘What ifs’ in professional wrestling history. Sure, Punk’s run in the promotion had largely run its course, as he was fighting EVPs – and Jungle Boys – calling out former champions on live microphones, and causing his boss to “fear for his […]

Though they should technically be focused on each other in the lead-up to WrestleMania 40, as they are technically set to face off for the World Heavyweight Championship, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins just can’t seem to help themselves: they really hate CM Punk. Afforded chances to talk wrestling in the lead-up to WrestleMania, with […]

Who was the mystery Superstar who was advertising their debut on NXT over the past few weeks? Was it Kazuchika Okada, the former Ace of New Japan Pro Wrestling, who made headlines within WWE circles for saying he didn’t plan to return to NJPW after his contract expires? Or how about Tama Tonga, a founding […]

After securing his biggest win in recent memory at the Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia, Drew McIntyre made his triumphant stateside return in San Jose, California, where he was afforded a sizeable segment of RAW’s third hour to speak his mind about the match, his future, WrestleMania 40… and CM Punk. What, did you think […]

If there’s one member of the WWE Universe who has absolutely no issue at all with speaking his mind, it’s Seth Rollins. Now firmly entrenched as a babyface after spending years working as different flavors of a heel, Rollins hasn’t lost his willingness to talk smack on any performer who looks at him funny in […]

CM Punk, last seen in WWE 2K15, will “make it [his] thing to get to the bottom of this” on why he’s not part of the WWE 2K24 roster. Today, CM Punk took to Instagram to echo the complaints of many fans about his absence from the WWE 2K24 roster. He posted a video on […]

Ever since CM Punk signed on the dotted line to become a member of WWE once more, fans have been eager to see one match above all others: “The Best in the World” versus the “Texas Rattlesnake,” “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Long considered the “Second City Saint’s” dream match, the prospects of Punk and Austin […]

When it comes to having massive wins over the biggest and the best performers in AEW history, few have as many as Wardlow, the MJF heater-turned-TNT Champion who now finds himself as the biggest performer in the Undisputed Kingdom alongside Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Mike Bennett, and Matt Taven. And yet, despite his resume, Wardlow […]

When WWE announced that Survivor Series would be coming to the greater Chicago area for a Thanksgiving weekend Premium Live Event at the end of November, no one pegged the day as the special return day for CM Punk, or even Randy Orton for that matter, either. At the time, Punk was still a member […]

Though he’s officially been out of action for the better part of a month now following a torn triceps at the 2024 Royal Rumble, CM Punk remains a hot topic of conversation heading into the “Road to WrestleMania,” with Drew McIntyre refusing to go a week without trashing the “Second City Saint.” Now granted, some […]

If there’s one word to describe Drew McIntyre‘s current character within the WWE Universe, it’s got to be a hater. A certified bad boy who has cashed in his babyface credentials after a series of frustrating come-up-shorts for a very 2024 take on being a heel, McIntyre has fully taken advantage of all of the […]

There once was a time when CM Punk was absolutely furious to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on the opposite side of the Vs. symbol at the Royal Rumble, cutting a scathing promo to level “The Great One” for not being in his league, all the while knowing full well what Vince McMahon had in […]

Though CM Punk is no longer public enemy number one on Seth Rollins‘ enemies board, with that spot now belonging to Roman Reigns and The Rock in an interchangeable order, when it comes to talking smack on the man widely known as the “Best in the World,” it’s safe to say the “Visionary” is still […]

Drew McIntyre is an absolute menace. Since fully throwing aside the idea of being a babyface in favor of embracing a new gimmick as the WWE Universe’s biggest hater, McIntyre has rapidly become one of the more entertaining personalities on RAW or SmackDown, using his expansive on-mic time to talk about, well, pretty much anyone […]

When Big E officially calls it a professional wrestling career, he’s a borderline lock to become a WWE Hall of Famer. A 12-time champion who has held singles gold at all levels in addition to being a member of arguably the most important trio in WWE history, even a potentially career-ending neck injury hasn’t slowed […]

Though he hasn’t worked a match in over a decade, it’s hard to argue that anyone has forgotten about the exceptional work of former WWE Champion Bret Hart, with “The Hitman” remaining as popular as ever at 66 years old. From his incredible look to his all-time great in-ring technical abilities to the very unique […]

When news broke that CM Punk suffered a triceps injury at the Royal Rumble that would keep him out of action for the next 4-to-6 months, it threw the entire WWE Universe for a loop. On one hand, fans celebrated that Punk didn’t win the Royal Rumble match outright, as that could have led to […]

After ten years away from a WWE ring, CM Punk was ready to make his triumphant televised in-ring return at the 2024 Royal Rumble, and WWE Digital had the bright idea of chronicling the entire day as part of their Premium Live Event Vlog series. On paper, it’s a pretty good strategy, right? As Punk […]

To say it has been an interesting last week in WWE would be an understatement. Though that’s not unusual this time of year, what has transpired—good and bad—is a lot to digest. Focusing on the good, it would be that Cody Rhodes won his second consecutive Royal Rumble and is moving on to headline WrestleMania […]

When CM Punk broke the news that he did, in fact, suffer a torn triceps injury during the 2024 Royal Rumble that will require surgery, sending him on the shelf for the next four to six months, depending on the recovery time, it left a massive hole at the top of the presumed WrestleMania 40 […]

When news broke that CM Punk had suffered a triceps injury at the Royal Rumble that would not only require surgery but would keep him out of action for an expected 4-6 months, it effectively changed the entire trajectory of the WWE Universe moving forward. Suddenly, one of the two expected main event matches of […]

CM Punk reportedly suffered a major injury at the Royal Rumble on Saturday night. Punk suffered a torn left triceps and is expected to require surgery, which will make him unavailable to perform at WrestleMania in April. The injury is the second time Punk has torn his triceps, although he tore the triceps in his […]

After weeks and weeks of anticipation, fans will file into Tropicana Field and tune into Peacock in mass to finally see the 2024 Royal Rumble, a show that will be absolutely jam-packed with WWE Superstars despite only having four official matches on the card. Soon, fans will see if there’s a new Undisputed WWE Universal […]

When it comes to WWE over the past decade or so, few performers have as much a claim to the “MVP” Title as Seth Rollins, the “Visionary, the “Revolutionary,” the “Monday Night Messiah,” and the driving force behind some of the biggest moments the promotion has ever booked. Now sure, his spot at the top […]

With the 2024 Royal Rumble rapidly approaching, it’s hard not to think back on last year’s contest and how it marked the triumphant comeback of Cody Rhodes, who returned to the ring after pec surgery to punch his ticket to the main event of WrestleMania 39. Though casual fans didn’t know it at the time, […]

As the 2024 Royal Rumble rapidly approaches, two of the favorites to win the whole darn thing, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes, were afforded an opportunity to address each other face-to-face for the first time this decade on WWE television in a sort of babyface summit on the go-home edition of RAW. With weeks of […]

After two hours of anticipation, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes were finally afforded a chance to stand across the ring from one another and shoot on their converging roads heading into the 2024 Royal Rumble. Would the duo remain cordial? Would they shoot on their respective exits from AEW? Or maybe they’d address the elephant […]

After getting into it on the microphone with Cody Rhodes and CM Punk over the past few weeks, it’s understandable that Drew McIntyre is feeling like he’s being attacked from all angles heading into the final RAW before the Royal Rumble. Now firmly out of the realm of being a babyface, with the line between […]

After taking some pretty serious bumps during Damage CTRL’s WarGames match at last year’s Survivor Series, you’d think Bayley would have taken things easy in Chicago, retreating to her locker room and cooling off just in case Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Byron Saxton and company needed her for the press conference or a digital medial […]

When Cody Rhodes broke the news that Randy Orton was returning to WWE for the first time in 18 months for his WarGames debut at Survivor Series, it felt like a phenomenal way to add some excitement and surprise to WWE’s final major Premium Live Event of the year. … but then CM Punk returned […]

In a year that featured some pretty incredible returns, debuts, and shocking booking decisions, no story garnered more interest – and was more impactful – across the professional wrestling landscape in 2023 than the “Brawl In” between “Jungle Boy” Jack Pery and CM Punk ahead of the former’s match with Samoa Joe at All In […]

When Drew McIntyre was working his way up through the WWE ranks, CM Punk was a workhorse. A strong, charismatic performer with a collection of fans who loved his authenticity and in-ring grit, Punk was a hero to many, despised by a few, and the kind of performer developing young stars could look to as […]

When CM Punk returned to the WWE Universe at Survivor Series, it effectively changed the game forever. Walking onto the ramp in front of his hometown crowd in Rosemont, Illinois, Punk was cheered on like the prodigal son finally returned, with social media experiencing similar elation due in no small part to an incredibly orchestrated […]

Are you familiar with the name DJ Whoo Kid? Well if not, you will be soon, as the musician might have just provided fans with one of the most important pieces of insight regarding professional wrestling in 2023 – insight that, to this point, had exclusively been hearsay. Appearing on the Jim Norton & Sam […]

After coming up short again against Seth Rollins with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line, Drew McIntyre was at a crossroads. Would the Scottish heavyweight reconsider his plans, turning his attention to the Intercontinental Championship or seeking out a tag team partner to go after his former friends in Judgment Day? Or would […]
