In the opening segment of the go-home edition of RAW before Clash at the Castle, Drew McIntyre predictably opened up the show, but he didn’t come out of the grates with some pre-written promo filled with pontification about his journey, his goals, or his ambitions. No, McIntyre instead decided to shoot from the hip and […]

When Bron Breakker debuted in the WWE Universe as a member of NXT back in 2021, it was clear the promotion had him earmarked as its next great Superstar. On paper, it made sense, right? He had a cup of coffee in the NFL, came from a prolific wrestling family, and stood 6 foot tall, […]

In April, Swerve Strickland and Damian Priest became World Champions in their respective promotions, with the former defeating Samoa Joe at Dynasty to become the AEW World Champion and the latter cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to unseat Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40 to become the World Heavyweight Champion. Since then, both […]

After becoming the new King of the Ring in a mildly contested finish at the end of King and Queen of the Ring, Gunther was afforded his first chance to address the WWE Universe since winning the crown in Saudi Arabia, and needless to say, he had plenty to address in front of a crowd […]

Though Drew McIntyre has spent the vast majority of his adult life living in America while pursuing his professional wrestling dreams in the WWE and beyond, in his heart, he is a son of Scotland through and through, with his gimmick, song, nickname, and presentation all built around his country of origin. So, when news […]

After getting into it a bit with Adam Pearce, you’d think Drew McIntyre could drive off into the sunset, enjoy the rest of his night, and reload for the final RAW of May, where plenty of his co-workers will be coming off of a direct flight from Saudi Arabia. … but if you expected that, […]

After watching Drew McIntyre tee off on CM Punk during the opening segment of RAW, things took a turn when the “Scottish Warrior” turned his attention to the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, who cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to end his reign at just under six minutes. Just as […]

After winning a number one contendership match to become the first-ever challenger for Damian Priest’s World Heavyweight Championship, Jey Uso opened up Monday Night RAW with a message for the “Archer of Infamy,” letting the Judgement Day, the audience in Columbus, Ohio, and the millions more watching from home know that he’s going to turn […]

Though Judgment Day left WrestleMania 40 with one fewer belt than they started the weekend with, it’s impossible to argue that the faction is in a worse place as a result, as Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley now hold the top two belts on RAW, the men’s and women’s World Heavyweight Championships, and look primed […]

After pulling off the heist of the night in a WrestleMania 40 Money in the Bank cash-in on brand new World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest was riding high, but heavy is the head that wears the crown, and on the very next night on RAW, he immediately found out who would be his […]

When Damian Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre five or so minutes after his massive, career-affirming victory in the open match of WrestleMania 40, it turned his already contentious feud with the “Best in the World” CM Punk into a borderline Hunger Games. Finally, after all of his struggles, […]

After watching Seth Rollins take some serious damage on Night 1 of WrestleMania 40, Drew McIntyre knew he had a pretty good chance he’d leave WrestleMania 40 as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, so long as CM Punk and/or Damian Priest didn’t ruin arguably the biggest moment of his career. Taking the ring with their […]

If things go Drew McIntyre‘s way at WrestleMania 40, he will finish out his match against Seth Rollins with his arm lifted high and the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist, but even if that happens, the “Scottish Warrior” won’t be fully out of the woods, as Damian Priest will surely be waiting in the […]

When Damian Priest ascended the ladder at Money in the Bank over a collapsed LA Knight to secure the shiny green metallic briefcase at the O2 in London, it felt like big things were on the way for the “Archer of Infamy.” A former champion at multiple levels across multiple promotions, Priest was firmly entrenched […]

When news broke that Gunther was going to address the WWE Universe about the future of his run as the Intercontinental Champion, it caused more than a few fans to lean forward in their seats. With Brock Lesnar officially off the table for a match at WrestleMania 40, with the “Beast Incarnate” likely out of […]

After watching Becky Lynch punch her ticket to WrestleMania 40 with a rapid-fire win at the end of the opening match of the Elimination Chamber, the Judgment Day found themselves second on the four-match card, looking to dissolve the New Catch Republic before it reaches its one-month anniversary and head into March with a clear […]

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 […]

Damian Priest has been the Money in the Bank briefcase holder – Señor Money in the Bank, if you will – since July 1st of 2023. Afforded a chance to challenge for any (men’s) title across any of the promotion’s three brands, you’d think Priest would be the most dangerous man in the entire WWE […]

With Bayley and IYO SKY officially paired off for a match against each other at WrestleMania 40 in the most prominent battle of the Damage CTRL Civil War, Rhea Ripley finds herself the lone main roster women’s champion without a challenger for WrestleMania 40, which isn’t an ideal spot to be, even for a performer […]

Heading into Money in the Bank 2023, no performer had more momentum coming into the match than the “Megastar” himself, LA Knight. After being shockingly left off of his namesake WrestleMania at SoFi Stadium, momentum was building and building with each passing show, to the point where fans were desperate to see their guy secure […]

When Adam Pearce ran into the middle of the ring on RAW to announce that Judgment Day, Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh, and the makeshift babyface set of Finn Balor, Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, and the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, would be participating in WarGames, it turned heads around […]

After watching Cody Rhodes open up the latest edition of RAW, reintroducing fans in Washington, DC, and around the world to his WarGames team ahead of Survivor Series, the members of the Judgment Day, Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and (quasi-member) JD McDonagh – but crucially enough, not Rhea Ripley – walked down to […]

After securing a massive win over Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel, Seth Rollins almost had to pull double duty when Damian Priest marched down to the ring with his signature purple Money in the Bank briefcase to cash in his contract for a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Now, to Rollins, this was […]

After successfully defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins was ready for a fight when Damian Priest ran out to the ring with his Money in the Bank briefcase in order to, presumably, cash in his contract and change his future in the WWE Universe for better or worse. … but then, […]

When Cody Rhodes challenged Damian Priest to a match at Crown Jewel, it felt beyond random. Sure, Rhodes and Priest have beef, with their most recent Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match clearly setting things up for a match in Saudi Arabia, but why was the match a singles contest, as opposed to a rematch […]

After a stacked fall full of mini Premium Live Events, WWE is coming back in a huge way on the first weekend of November with Crown Jewel, a very early PLE live from Saudi Arabia that features five title matches and eight total efforts across the stacked card. Fans around the world will be treated […]

As they have become accustomed to doing in the WWE Universe, the members of Judgment Day, this time Rhea Ripley, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh, decided to open up the RAW show as a state of the union of their faction, letting fans know that they are not only good but that they, in […]

When news broke that the Judgment Day were going to open up RAW in their first segment on the Red Brand since regaining the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships versus Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, fans jokingly assumed they knew how the segment would go down. Folks joked that the four members of the faction […]

Damian Priest won the Money in the Bank briefcase in July and has been teasing a cash-in ever since. After defeating LA Knight, Logan Paul, Ricochet, Butch, Santo Escobar, and Shinsuke Nakamura in the Money in the Bank ladder match, Priest has been on a solid run. He’s won some big matches and is setting […]

In case you haven’t noticed, Judgment Day have kind of become the talk of the professional business as of late, with Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, Finn Balor, and Dominik Mysterio being discussed by everyone from Adam “Edge” Copeland to Christian Cage, and pretty much every member of the WWE roster from RAW to SmackDown, and […]

After recapping what proved to be a brutal, hard-hitting main event match with Shinsuke Nakamura at Fastlane, Seth Rollins addressed the WWE fans assembled in Omaha, Nebraska, for the fallout edition of Monday Night RAW. Taking the ring to the cheers of his adoring crowd, as is so often the case, Rollins informed fans that […]

After spending the last two months as WWEs ultimate hunter, chasing any performer with a title while holding his bright green Money in the Bank briefcase, Damian Priest suddenly finds himself in the winner’s circle, holding two of the WWE Tag Team Championship belts alongside his on-again, off-again Judgment Day pal, Finn Balor. Now granted, […]

Though the match between Seth Rollins and Finn Balor technically began when the bell rang, as wrestling matches tend to do, the match didn’t really begin until much later, when Señor Money in the Bank, Damian Priest, made his way down to ringside with his green and gold briefcase in-hand. Sure, Balor could have secured […]

After weeks and weeks of anticipation featuring matches on RAW, beatdowns in NXT, and a successful title defense at Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins will finally get his third and potentially final singles match of the year against Finn Balor at SummerSlam in Detroit, Michigan on August 5th. Soon fans will see if the […]

Rhea Ripley is an absolute star. A triple crown champion who became the youngest person in WWE history to accomplish the feat at WrestleMania 39, Ripley is currently entrenched as the first-ever WWE Women’s World Champion in day 106 of her reign, and while she hasn’t had a relentless schedule, she remains one of the […]

After spending the better part of a week hyping up The Judgment Day‘s journey down to NXT to settle their business with Trick Williams and the NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes, the dynamic quartet of Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and “Dirty” Dominik emerged from the tunnel in the opening segment of NXT and explained […]

After watching Damian Priest dash his chances to become the second-ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion at Money in the Bank and then getting in the way of his long-time The Judgment Day faction mate’s cash-in efforts on the fallout edition of RAW, Finn Balor opened up an absolutely loaded edition of WWE’s flagship program with […]

One week removed from Money in the Bank, many professional wrestling fans still haven’t gotten over the fact that Damian Priest, not LA Knight, came down with the briefcase and secured the rights to the open contract inside of it. On paper, Knight had everything going for him; he was clearly the fan favorite, had […]

After maybe costing Finn Balor a chance to dethrone Seth Rollins as the WWE World  Heavyweight Championship – depending on who you ask – Damian Priest got his just desserts two days later on RAW when the “Prince” emerged at the end of Dominik Mysterio’s match with the “Visionary” to attack the current champ just […]
