Stephen A. Smith is the heel – to borrow a phrase from WWE – of the sports debate format. From his time working with Skip Bayless, then Max Kellerman, and now in an open format where he takes on open challenges and smites them down like he’s the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion Roman “Freakin’” […]

On December 18th, 1970, Robert Alexander Szatkowski was born into the world. A native of Battle Creek, Michigan, who had dreams of becoming a star, he first came to prominence in 1987 when he appeared in a skit with “The Million Dollar Man,” Ted DiBiase for the WWE, before going on to have some success […]

2022 has been a big year for Brocks. Brock Lesnar had huge showings for WWE, including matches with Roman Reigns at both WrestleMania and SummerSlam, and Brock Purdy, the Iowa State quarterback who was drafted with the final pick in the 2022 NFL draft, just became the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, a […]

At Survivor Series WarGames, Sami Zayn officially made his intentions known in the WWE Universe: “The Honorary Uce” is pushing all of his chips to “The Head of the Table.” That’s right, despite showing no real signs of dissension with the group he’s been slowly but surely trying to join since April, fans wondered whether […]

Paul Heyman doesn’t think Roman Reigns gets the respect he deserves from the WWE Universe and the greater professional wrestling world as a whole. Now sure, maybe that’s just a manager hyping up his client or the sort of old-man-yelling-at-clouds schtick that Rodney Dangerfield had mastered by the 1980s, but when talking to Jonathan Snowden […]

When WWE announced that they were holding a press conference on Friday ahead of their Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia, fans knew that there would be some sort of interesting angle introduced by Paul “Triple H” Levesque and company to add to the spectacle of the affair, but few knew exactly what the 14-time […]

On the penultimate edition of SmackDown before Crown Jewel, Paul Heyman was bothered about his ward Roman Reigns’ forthcoming match against Logan Paul for the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship. Sure, Heyman has managed some of the best in the business, which Reigns very much is, and Paul has exactly two professional matches to his […]

If there’s one person Jey Uso doesn’t like even a little bit, it’s Sami Zayn. He doesn’t like that he keeps trying to hang out with The Usos, likes his buddying up with Roman Reigns even less, and hates with every fiber of his being that the Laval, Quebec, Canada native calls himself The Honorary […]

As you may or may not have noticed, Paul Heyman has been curiously absent from WWE television since he suffered a slam from Brock Lesnar at when things broke down outside the ring during the main event of SummerSlam. Granted, he has made a few verbal cameos, including an off-camera promo at the start of […]

Some matches are just supposed to mean something. Sure, occasionally, a match will rise above the rest and become a sleeper hit or even steal the show in a major way that changes a promotion’s booking indefinitely – think Daniel Bryan in the WWE – but as a general rule, companies typically want the main […]

Normally, WWE superstar Brock Lesnar isn’t a man of many words. He’s more of an ‘actions do the talking’ sort of guy, and has no problem solving his disputes with his fists, his legs, and a few F5s for good measure over a complex series of negotiations. So, when It was his time to address […]

When news broke that Vince McMahon was going to step down as the CEO and Chairman of the Board of WWE following accusations of paying out hush money to a former employee whom he was in a consensual relationship with, it left many a fan curious about what would come next for their favorite wrestling […]

Riddle is looking to make a reservation for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. He’s bounced between Raw and SmakDown in search of a title shot, and no matter what obstacle has been placed in his path, be that The Miz, Sami Zayn, or The Usos, his pursuit of defending Randy Orton’s honor has remained one […]

Bobby Lashley wins the WWE championship from Brock Lesnar, after a surprising betrayal by Paul Heyman. WWE started off by highlighting the careers of the two competitors with a promo video, which really adds to the hype and stakes of the match. The promo video also helps sell the “dream match” narrative that WWE is […]

Paul Heyman is no stranger to having big plans for his clients in the WWE. Now he has his sights set on some lofty goals for Roman Reigns. Paul Heyman recently spoke with Justin Barrasso about a whole host of topics. He revealed what was next for Roman Reigns in the WWE. “The next goal […]
