Now to some, the videos are […]

If it’s a Friday during the “Road to WrestleMania,” it can only mean one thing: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is going to release another expansive, clipped-filled, profanity-laced promo designed to get fans fired up before they tune into the week’s edition of SmackDown. March 15, 2024, as it turns out, is no exception, as like […]

Would he come up […]

When The Rock returned to WWE in 2011, it’s safe to say John Cena wasn’t a fan. Feuding with “The People’s Champion” in an incredibly personal feud that spread out over multiple WrestleManias, Cena made it his mission to let Rocky know part-timers like himself weren’t welcomed in his WWE, an ironic position considering he […]

Though it may be hard to recall now, as he’s since gone on to have one of the greatest in-ring careers in WWE history and has all but locked up a spot on the promotion’s Mount Rushmore, you wouldn’t know it by the way John Cena debuted all the way back in 2002, as his […]

Though some may quibble on the margins over semantics, an accepted fact of the WWE Universe is that John Cena has never had a proper heel run during his time on the main roster.

Sure, Rocky is a draw, and gets serious interactions on social media whenever he so much as cuts a […]

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 […]

While Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson isn’t heading to Perth, Australia, for the Elimination Chamber, he didn’t leave fans down under high and dry heading into the second main roster Premium Live Event of 2024 high and dry either, opting to cut a promo preemptively talking trash on Cody Rhodes and his “girlfriend” Seth Rollins ahead […]

Despite being the featured performer of the last few weeks within the WWE Universe, dominating headlines and television time whenever he showed up, The Rock will not be heading to the Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia, leaving the show with just four matches and no presence from The Bloodline. … or will he? Speaking with […]

Ever since The Rock made a surprise return to SmackDown a couple of weeks ago in Birmingham, Alabama, it has completely changed the WrestleMania 40 main event, which is now set to be Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Championship. When Rhodes announced on that same episode that he would not be challenging […]

When it comes to on-screen storylines within the WWE Universe, few hold the same weight, excitement, and historical significance as the battle between Cody Rhodes – plus Seth Rollins – and The Bloodline, which now officially features the biggest get of them all, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, alongside Roman Reigns. From speculation about how much […]

After spending the better part of two hours building up a “generational” in-ring meeting between The Rock and Roman Reigns, fans were surprised that just the “OG” members of The Bloodline opened up the segment, with the “Tribal Chief” looking very eager indeed to address all of the Salt Lake City fans packed into the […]
