While much of, if not the majority of the WWE Universe was excited to see CM Punk make his surprise return at Survivor Series, one such name that fell into the minority was one of the promotion’s biggest stars, Seth Rollins, who stared angrily at the “Best in the World” before cursing out the returning […]

The fallout from WWE’s latest Survivor Series is still being felt across pro wrestling with the return of CM Punk after a tumultuous last year with AEW. It appears not all in WWE are happy about the straight-edge superstar’s return though, with Drew McIntryre reportedly being on that list due to storming out after the […]

After watching Cody Rhodes make his not-so-surprising return at the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns keep his title reign alive at WrestleMania, and Jey Uso come up just short of being named the new Undisputed Universal Champion at SummerSlam, the WWE Universe has officially made its return to Chicago, Illinois, for Survivor Series, the final Big […]

When Drew McIntyre turned heel mere weeks before Survivor Series, it turned heads around the WWE Universe. Sure, McIntyre was shading in that direction for some time, as he’d become increasingly upset with how his beef with The Bloodline was being treated by the rest of the RAW locker room, but by turning on Seth […]

When Drew McIntyre threw his proverbial hat into the ring with Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, and the rest of Judgment Day at the end of Finn Balor and Damian Priest’s Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, it sent ripples through the WWE Universe ahead of Survivor Series. […]

After coming up just short of his ultimate goal in an impromptu WWE World Heavyweight Championship match with Seth Rollins on Monday Night RAW, Sami Zayn found himself in the awkward position of having to set any animosity aside in order to work with the Cody Rhodes’ babyface faction against the Judgment Day, a bit […]

When WWE announced that Seth Rollins was going to wrestle Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship in the opening match of Crown Jewel, it became clear rather quickly that the “Visionary” was going to have to fight two battles in Saudi Arabia, one against the “Scottish Warrior,” and another at the end of the […]

Drew McIntyre has been a member of the WWE Universe, at least this go around, since 2017, when he parlayed a revolutionary run on the indies into an impressive run through NXT and a return to the main roster at the Royal Rumble 2019. Since making his fateful return in 2019, McIntyre has won hundreds […]

On paper, Seth Rollins should be at the top of the professional wrestling world; he’s the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, holds the top spot on the PWI Top-500, and at just 38, is at the height of his athletic abilities in the squared-circle. And yet, pretty much since he won the belt in Riyadh, Saudi […]

After listening to Drew McIntyre deliver an impassioned speech about the pain he felt winning the WWE Championship at the Performance Center in 2020 without the exultation of fans cheering him on to victory against the “Beast Incarnate,” Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins marched down to the ring for his tune-up match against JD McDonagh ahead […]

With Crown Jewel rapidly approaching, Drew McIntyre was afforded one final chance to address the WWE Universe before he takes the ring against Seth Rollins for his most important match since 2020, the year everything changed for him in more ways than one. Though McIntyre remains insistent on the fact that he has no ill […]

When Lyra Valkyria, the plucky 27-year-old babyface from Dublin, Ireland, was booked for a main event match against Becky Lynch, the 36-year-old veteran babyface from Limerick, Ireland, it felt like nothing more than a pair of fellow countrymen attempting to put each other over. Sure, Valkyria can certainly go, as she’d already held four titles […]

After watching Rhea Ripley seemingly get a bit too close and cozy with Drew McIntyre in the lead-up to Crown Jewel, signifying that the Scottish Warrior may, in fact, be in cahoots with the Judgment Day ahead of his WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, Seth Rollins found himself face-to-face with the “Eradicator” backstage in Monday […]

When Drew McIntyre‘s initial run in WWE came to an end almost a decade ago, few expected him to eventually rise to the top of the industry and become a world champion in the biggest company in professional wrestling. So what changed? Well, McIntyre, McIntyre changed. Sitting down for an interview with Good Karma Wrestling, […]

After getting into it with Seth Rollins in a promo battle for the ages that all but locked in the dramatic stakes of his Crown Jewel match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Drew McIntyre took to the backstage area on Monday Night RAW to attend to another matter regarding a man very familiar with […]

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 […]

Wrestling WWE superstar Drew McIntyre does not sound fun. OVW National Heavyweight champion Jessie Godderz recalled wrestling the Scottish Warrior back in the day. “[He’s] just a mountain of a man,” Godderz said of McIntyre during our chat about the hit Netflix docuseries, Wrestlers. He had wrestled Drew McIntyre (when he went by Drew Galloway) […]

For the last six or so months, one of the more persistent stories that won’t seem to go away regards Drew McIntyre‘s future in the WWE, whatever that may be. After taking a huge loss to Gunther in a three-way contest for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 39, McIntyre was placed on the shelf for […]

As the professional wrestling world prepares for Bray Wyatt‘s memorial ceremonies in the week following his untimely passing due to a heart attack, WWE decided to release a video where almost a dozen performers, announcers, and creatives alike sat down in front of a camera to tell some of their favorite stories from the life […]

After weeks and weeks of being worn down by Matt Riddle‘s unquenchable desire to find a new tag team partner, it looks like Drew McIntyre is finally starting to warm up to the idea of McRiddle; a tag team named after the famous McDonald’s breakfast sandwich that fans are just loving. Stopping by RAW TALK […]

As crazy as it may sound, considering he’s been the Intercontinental Champion for 425 days and counting, Gunther has only been a member of WWE’s main roster for 16 months, making his debut alongside Ludwig Kaiser on SmackDown following incredible careers in NXT. Though a lot has changed since last April, with Giovani Vinci re-joining […]

With just 33 days left before Gunther officially eclipses the Honkey Tonk Man as the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history, it always felt like a longshot that Drew McIntyre would secure the win at SummerSlam. Sure, the show marked the first official year since Paul “Triple H” Levesque was in charge of the WWE […]

With SummerSlam officially upon us, performers on the show and off of it have been using the opportunity to talk themselves up and trash talk performers – and in Trish Stratus’ case, Adm Pearce – in a classic case of posturing. It makes sense, right? If a performer like Gunther can get in Drew McIntyre‘s […]

At SummerSlam, Drew McIntyre is going to either secure a very big win the likes of which alters the WWE record books forever, as Gunther will be just 33 days away from overcoming Honky Tonk Man’s 454-day record with the Intercontinental Championship, or he will drop the ball, drop the match, and drop down the […]

Though it may not often seem like it, Drew McIntyre actually has a great deal of respect for Gunther. Two members of the Intercontinental Championship fraternity, a group that features 184 different title reigns since the belt was introduced in 1979, including three by the strap’s lone female holder, Chyna, Gunther has helped to elevate […]

Matt Riddle finds himself in an interesting place in the WWE Universe at the moment. On one hand, he’s still feuding with Gunther, the leader of an Imperium faction that has consistently gotten his goat over the past few months, but now he has Drew McIntyre by his side, and after a few months away, […]

While promoting his new documentary American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes at its premier in Atlanta, Georgia, Cody Rhodes made headlines when he told Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture that he felt he was competing with Seth Rollins to become the babyface on the RAW roster. Was Rhodes caught up in the moment? Eh, maybe a […]

Everywhere Gunther has gone in professional wrestling, he’s made himself into a featured player; he was a star in wXw, a dominant force in Progress, a star in PWG, and the near-unbeatable force in NXT UK, where he held the belt a month short of 900 days before dropping the strap to Ilja Dragunov to […]

Gunther is just 48 days away from being the longest-tenured Intercontinental Champion in WWE history. Since winning the strap on June 10th, 2022, Gunther has successfully defended his title on 12 occasions, put down some of the best performers the WWE roster has to offer, and has established Imperium as one of the most imposing […]

Drew McIntyre recently made his comeback to WWE television after not being seen since WrestleMania 39, but it appears that he will need some more time off as he has been cast in a new action flick with Dave Bautista and Ice Cube in The Killer’s Game. A now-deleted Instagram post from The Killer’s Game […]

After making a massive, massive return at Money in the Bank a few hours south of his hometown of Ayr, Scotland, Drew McIntyre has had Gunther shaking in his wrestling boots, with the “Scottish Warrior” seemingly knowing the “Ring General’s” every move before he does and having an answer for every one of Imperium’s schemes, […]

After the one-two-three punch of taking a loss to Matt Riddle, being chased off by Drew McIntyre, and then being challenged to a match against the dynamic, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood-loving tag team on RAW, Gunther, Giovanni Vinci, and the rest of Imperium – aka just Ludwig Kaiser – weren’t feeling too hot when Byron Saxton […]

After securing the win and then landing a save from a returning Drew McIntyre on the fallout edition of RAW after Money in the Bank, Matt Riddle was incredibly happy to have a friend in his corner in Baltimore, so much so that they duo spent some time chatting backstage long after the 1-2-3. “Dude, […]

No matter how you slice it, Money in the Bank at the O2 Arena in London was a slam dunk for WWE. Per the man himself, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the show was the most financially successful arena Premium Live Event in the promotion’s history, the SmackDown the night before was the most financially successful […]

When it was announced that Gunther was going to defend his Intercontinental Championship mere miles away from where he spent 900-plus days as the NXT UK Champion versus Matt Riddle at Money in the Bank, it left a meh reaction from fans across the WWE Universe. Sure, Gunther and Riddle have been going at it […]

As the WWE Universe prepares to descend on London for a pair of shows headlined by the Money in the Bank at the O2 Arena, one of the acts that curiously isn’t scheduled for a spot on the show is none other than Sheamus, the 12-time WWE Champion and leader of the Brawling Brutes. Now […]

Seth Rollins made history at Night of Champions by becoming the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion. After defeating AJ Styles in a phenomenal match, Rollins won his first WWE world championship in nearly four years and became a five-time world champion. The World Heavyweight Championship is meant to be a fighting championship. With Roman Reigns holding […]

With eight picks in the books for the WWE Draft, including the RAW Women’s Champion, Bianca Belair, heading to SmackDown, and the Intercontinental Champion, Gunther, heading to RAW alongside the rest of Imperium, JBL and Teddy Long were tasked with announcing the picks in Round 3 and providing – spoiler alert – seven performers with […]

When news broke that Drew McIntyre wasn’t happy with the contract that has been offered to him by WWE and may end up leaving the promotion when his contract comes to an end, it left many fans across the wrestling world very confused. One of the true babyface stars of WWE over the past half-decade, […]
