For much of Monday Night RAW, Chad Gable had one mission and one mission alone within the WWE Universe: find Otis. That’s right, though the situation wasn’t particularly well explained, as everyone from Damage CTRL to Becky Lynch and Lita interrupted the search for the Alpha Academy’s “number one guy,” Gable spent his evening on […]

For months, the story of Sami Zayn and the Bloodline has been the hottest saga in all of WWE, if not professional wrestling. It took quite a while before Zayn earned the trust of his (now-former) Bloodline brethren, as it took him nearly seven months before Jey Uso grew to appreciate Zayn’s contributions following his […]

Though he hasn’t come face to face with Logan Paul since the former hit him with a buckshot lariat in the Elimination Chamber – that’s coming on Monday’s edition of RAW – Seth Rollins hasn’t exactly been keeping his feelings close to his vest on “The Impaulsive One” heading into their long-rumored match at WrestleMania […]

After “winning” a match with Bray Wyatt at the WWE Elimination Chamber, Bobby Lashley had to watch as his presumed WrestleMania 39 opponent delivered a glimpse into everything the Firefly Funhouse’s television had to offer, from weird Undertaker action figure commercials to a TMZ parody where Bray Wyatt laughed at “The Almighty” for his muscular […]

After being held off of the Elimination Chamber despite being “Awesome,” The Miz made sure that he would be featured prominently at WrestleMania 39 by securing a role as the official host of “The Showcase of the Immortals.” That’s right, on a solo edition of Miz.TV, “The A-Lister” revealed that the little envelope Maryse gave […]

Carmella has been a member of the WWE Universe in one way or another since 2013, when she joined NXT and spent the better part of her time in developmental serving as a manager/valet for the dynamic duo of Big Cass and Enzo Amore. Over that run, Mella established the “moon-walking, trash-talking, Princess of Staten […]

After taking part in a successful running of the Elimination Chamber, earning a moral victory for his efforts against the best of the best WWE has to offer, and a shout-out from Paul “Triple H” Levesque despite falling sort of a United States Championship victory, Bronson Reed was given a tune-up match against one of […]

Though she wasn’t booked for the Elimination Chamber, Bayley still made her way up to Canada to give WWE fans a celebration of her Damage CTRL friends, Dakota Kai and IYO SKY.

Though she hasn’t been an active wrestler since 2018, there are few professional wrestlers who are as popular in 2023 as Nikki Bella. She’s a reality television star, a member of the Barmageddon team, and when she somehow finds time, she’s a pretty prolific Instagram Live user, where she talks all things professional wrestling, Nikki […]

After putting on a show during the previous edition of RAW, Brock Lesnar rolled up to Brooklyn Monday night looking to see his presumed Elimination Chamber opponent, Bobby Lashley, sign a WWE contract to make the match official. He walked down to the ring to join Adam Pearce – who had a very active evening […]

After years of back-and-forth banter over who was worthy of the moniker “The Man,” Ric Flair and Becky Lynch reportedly buried the hatchet at WWE’s RAW XXX and officially left the past in the past. When asked about this conversation by Pat McAfee on his show, Seth Rollins peeled back the curtain before declaring the […]

When news broke that “The King” Jerry Lawler had suffered a stroke, it seemingly brought the entire professional wrestling community together in wishing the WWE Hall of Famer well moving forward. While details at the time were sparse, with “The King’s” initial prognosis being a stroke before then being clarified as a “blood blockage to […]

After becoming the fastest-ever eliminated woman in the history of the Royal Rumble, Chelsea Green was not happy, so much so that she wanted to speak to the manager of WWE, which I guess is Adam Pearce, on the following RAW in order to make things right. Largely requesting fairly normal stuff, swiss chocolates, her […]

When MVP, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin were all talking in the background during JBL’s breakup with Baron Corbin, old-school WWE fans knew that something good was about to happen, and needless to say, they were right. Walking down to the ring as a trio for the first time in what feels like forever, fans […]

After watching his ward, Baron Corbin, drop a stunner to Dexter Lumis in a match on RAW, John “Bradshaw” Layfield let it be known that he’d had just about enough of the man he was calling a “Modern-day Wrestling God.” Walking to the back looking completely dejected, Corbin mentioned that the duo would do better […]

Rick Boogs is a certified WWE superstar; he’s big, he’s strong, and most importantly of all, he’s darn entertaining, with a near-limitless reserve of energy to draw from and enough charisma to fill out his own roster. So naturally, when Boogs saw his knee buckle in an attempted feat of strength against The Usos at […]

Despite entering the Royal Rumble at spot number one after taking a beating at the hands of Beth Phoenix before the match even began, Rhea Ripley went the distance, set a new record for the longest time alive in the match’s history, and ultimately won the whole darn thing with a one-two elimination of Asuka […]

When news broke that Cody Rhodes, the winner of the 2023 Royal Rumble, was going to be featured in the opening segment on RAW – thanks for the scoop, Byron Saxton – fans strapped into their seats, knowing that something very interesting was coming their way. Popping up from the Cody-vator to the tune of […]

Bianca Belair found herself in an interesting spot heading into the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble.

Though he’s technically an active wrestler, as he’s been working GCW shows from time to time, X-Pac was one of the WWE legends who were honored at RAW XXX, where he took part in a segment with DX. When asked about his history at RAW following his big event, X-Pac walked down memory lane with […]

Ric Flair is a man known by many, many names. He’s “The Nature Boy,” a nickname he technically borrowed from Buddy Rodgers, the “Kiss stealing, wheeling and dealing, you-know-the-rest,” and, at least for a time, simply “The Man,” a moniker he trademarked but eventually sold to WWE for fairly obvious reasons. Though Flair ultimately earned […]

After being advertised to wrestle in a cage match against Becky Lynch at RAW XXX, Bayley shocked the professional wrestling world by marching down to the ring with her Damage CTRL pals, Dakota Kai and IYO SKY, to put a beatdown on the former WWE champ. Fans gasped, Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick were shocked, […]

After sitting through a very long Tribal Court segment to start RAW XXX, Rhea Ripley and The Judgement Day went down to the ring in the hopes of finally being the team who unseats The Usos as the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions.

After initially being booked for RAW XXX, WWE’s South Philadelphia-based birthday party for The Fed’s longest-running television show, the Bella Twins, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella, were shocking removed from the show in favor of old-school stars like “Diamond” Dallas Page. But why? Did the duo spend too much time celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles win […]

Folks, it’s official: Brock Lesnar is back in the WWE, and he’s got one very specific superstar in his sights. First, the setup; after returning from his suspension, Bobby Lashley has been back on the same business he’s been on since last fall: winning back the United States Championship. Heckbent on besting Austin Theory for […]

Though he’s technically a SmackDown performer, RAW XXX was a special occasion that brought stars from all over the WWE Universe to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary, so it was only right that LA Knight, the Friday night Megastar would travel from Los Angeles to South Philadelphia to honor the occasions and, more importantly of […]

When news broke that Hulk Hogan was going to be one of the esteemed guests at RAW XXX, fans of WWE knew it probably wasn’t the best idea. Now sure, the Hulkster is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in WWE history and has a spot permanently reserved on the company’s Mount Rushmore as a […]

Raw is XXX is shaping up to be one of Raw’s most significant episodes in recent memory. Not only has the WWE announced a handful of excellent matches for the night, including Becky Lynch vs. Bayley in Steel Cage match and Bobby Lashley vs. Austin Theory for the United State Championship, but many WWE legends […]

When WWE released a David Guetta ft. Bebe Rexha-soundtracked trailer for their forthcoming 30th-anniversary edition of RAW – dubbed RAW XXX – fans of professional wrestling noticed more than a few familiar faces of in-ring performers who aren’t currently employed by the company. From Bryan Danielson’s “Yes” movement under his Daniel Bryan moniker to Mercedes […]

When Bianca Belair was preparing for her RAW Women’s Championship match against Alexa Bliss, she was mildly confident in being able to retain the top strap on WWE’s Monday night show.

Is WWE going up for sale? Will the company, which has been primarily owned by a McMahon since all the way back in 1953, when the federation, then known as Capitol Wrestling Corporation, ran its first show in New York state, suddenly find itself owned by a company like Disney, Comcast, or even a wildcard […]

When it was announced that Seth “Freakin’” Rollins and Austin Theory would close out the first televised episode of WWE programming with a match for the WWE United States Championship, it felt like a massive deal. The duo were working the match across the WWE Holiday Tour circuit, albeit in a cage match, and even […]

Though Kevin Owens and John Cena worked together on the final SmackDown of 2022, their shared time in the WWE Universe didn’t start off so smoothly. No, as KO pointed out in an interview with Peter Rosenberg on The Ringer’s Cheap Heat, the duo actually began their time together as foes, with Cena serving as […]

After nearly hitting Bianca Belair with the Sister Abigail following her win over Bayley to become the #1 contender for the RAW Women’s Championship, Alexa Bliss was asked to take a seat to talk about what happened alongside Byron Saxton and “The EST of WWE.” Were Bliss’ actions intentional, a clear shot at a performer […]

After having some fun in a five-on-five game of war at Survivor Series, Bianca Belair has to get back to the business of defending her RAW Women’s Championship, the title she’s held since April, but who in the WWE Universe deserves the next shot at The EST? Could it be Bayley? Maybe, but after two-straight […]

When Bobby Lashley, fresh off losing his match to Seth Rollins due to referee unavailability in the main event of RAW, laid hands on two officials and then Adam Pearce on his way to the back, folks assumed that it would have some sort of ramifications on the greater WWE Universe, but who expected to […]

It has been over four years since Alexa Bliss held singles gold in WWE, excluding, of course, her minute run with the 24/7 Championship in the match where it truly jumped the shark earlier this year. Now granted, Bliss hasn’t been without gold for long, as she has held the RAW Tag Team Championships on […]

Matt Riddle is one of the most modelable stars in the WWE Universe; he can work up and down a card with ease, work tag or singles matches, and even looks fully at home providing nothing more than some comedic relief, as he’s proven multiple times over including his current gimmick asking performers to “bang […]

When the participants were announced for the NXT Iron Survivor Challenge, few expected to see Grayson Waller close out the contest drinking out of his shoe with the word “winner” before his name on the title card.
