Though his insertion into the Royal Rumble at spot 29 didn’t provide the same excitement, as, say, the debut of “Switchblade” Jay White – which curiously didn’t happen but would have been wild – fans still popped pretty darn hard when Logan Paul, arguably WWE’s Rookie of the Year, returned to the ring, eliminated Seth […]

Heading into the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble, there were two performers that fans wanted to see win the show’s namesake match: Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn.

Well, this is going to be a rather interesting conundrum for Triple H. The 2023 Royal Rumble went about as expected, for the most part.

But then, something […]

And just like that, it became official: Cody Rhodes will main event WrestleMania 39 after running the table at the WWE Royal Rumble.

With RAW XXX officially in the books, all eyes within the WWE Universe can now turn to The Royal Rumble, the first “Premium Live Event” of the 2023 calendar year.

Though Grayson Waller has a match on the books against Bron Breakker for the NXT New Year’s Evil for the NXT World Championship, he isn’t settling for that being his biggest bout for the brand.

Though it’s officially been announced that Mercedes Moné isn’t going to be Saraya’s mystery partner on Dynamite, fans of AEW, NJPW, and beyond are still holding out hope that “The Boss” will be in Los Angeles on January 11th either in the ring with Hikaru Shida or someone else or as a guest sitting ringside […]

In professional wrestling, continuing a family legacy is everything – AEW has Brian Pillman Jr., the Gunns, Brock Anderson, and Hook, to just name a few, WWE has so many multi-generational performers that they literally had a legacy stable headlined by Randy Orton, and both promotions employ one of Dusty Rhodes’ sons, with Cody set […]

Dax Harwood is a lot of things; he’s an AEW superstar, a tag team specialist with two different championship belts around his waist, and as of December of 2022, he can add podcaster to his list of descriptors, as, with William Regal heading back to WWE, the man nicknamed “The Ax” is set to take […]

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.

Samoa Joe is one bad, bad dude.

There was a time when Anthony Ogogo looked like one of the hottest new names in AEW. Initially pitched to play the heavy role in The Inner Circle instead of Jake Hager in the early, pre-Dynamite era of Tony Khan’s company, Ogogo made his in-ring debut in an April edition of Dynamite against future The […]

There are a lot of people responsible for the start of AEW. There’s WWE for releasing Cody Rhodes, NJPW and the Bullet Club for allowing him to work with Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, Ring of Honor for helping to fund All Out, and most obviously of all, Tony Khan, who is the head […]

With the prospects of CM Punk returning to AEW growing less and less tenable with each passing day, with Dave Meltzer going so far as to suggest that punk has been “voted off the island” by a locker room – including Chris Jericho – that basically wants nothing to do with him moving forward, fans […]

As the AEW Galaxy continues to tick along, adding new members to the company seemingly on a monthly basis – the latest of which is none other than Renee Paquette – some AEW OGs have started to see their contracted time with Tony Khan’s company come to an end, with Jack Evans, Joey Janella, and […]

“Wrestling is not a love story” these words, written by the man once known as Bray Wyatt to the WWE Universe, began one heck of a personal essay on the Twitter account of WYATT 6 – aka Mr. Windham Rotunda – and casually set the professional wrestling world ablaze on an otherwise unsuspecting Sunday evening. […]

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when Cody Rhodes was a full-time wrestler and EVP of AEW.
