Folks, Mia Yim is back; that’s right, after spending a year away from the fed following her firing from the company due to “budget cuts,” the NXT standout and one-time member of Retribution is back in WWE and looking to make an impression. Catching up with Cathy Kelley after her surprise RAW re-debut, Mia Yim […]

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when Nikki Cross didn’t just want to be a hero to the WWE Universe but something more; she wanted to be super. She had the Hurricane Helms-approved mask, the tights, and an unbreakable smile in the hopes of inspiring kids young and old to live their best […]

When it was announced that  Bianca Belair and Bayley were going to take part in a Last Woman Standing match at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, fans were mixed on the prospects of the contest. Sure, after watching Belair and Bayley duke it out multiple times since the latter returned to the WWE Universe […]

As the WWE Universe gears up for Crown Jewel, Mercedes Varnado, aka Sasha Banks, has dropped a major bit of news on her Instagram story that could generate a good bit of hype, even if it presents more questions than answers. Read what Varnado had to say on the subject below via a transcription from […]

When Johnny Gargano promised that he would deliver a big reveal to the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW if The Miz didn’t own up to what was going on with Dexter Lumis, he did not disappoint. Sitting down with Byron Saxton for a sort of Dateline-meets-60-minutes-style interview, Gargano laid out a bold claim that […]

Just when you thought the shape of the WWE Universe was more or less set heading into Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, Paul “Triple H” Levesque messed around and decided to switch the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on a whim to give Asuka and Alexa Bliss a massive win over the Damage CTRL duo […]

When Seth Rollins isn’t doing damage on WWE as the current United States Champion, he’s watching the NFL, where he’s one of the more notable fans of the Chicago Bears. In 2022, being a Bears fan might be more challenging than being the United States Champion. Bogged down in a three-game losing streak with a […]

Though the WWE Universe is still reeling from the loss of the weird, non-bearded son of Ernie Jr. that no one knew they needed but instantly fell in love with, Ezekiel, the return of Elias has been a relative success on RAW, earning a huge pop in his triumphant return before wrestling a solid match […]

After making his surprise return to the WWE Universe in an incredibly impressive segment at the end of Extreme Rules, a segment that perfectly signifies Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s desire for spectacle, Bray Wyatt did not appear on the fallout edition of RAW… at least not in person. No, despite having three hours of television […]

Every since Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over for his father-in-law, Vince McMahon, as WWE’s head booker, almost every change to the company has been a good one. The 14-time champion has brought back about a dozen former talents, most recently Bray Wyatt and the duo of Luke Gallow and “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson, who […]

When news broke that Gable Steveson was attempting to return to the University of Minnesota for the spring semester of the 2022-23 NCAA calendar year, it led to more than a few questions about his future in the WWE. On paper, Steveson was a classic Vince McMahon hire, a Kurt Angle for the modern era, […]

Welp, it’s official: Johnny Gargano’s undefeated streak is officially over. He won’t go down as an undefeated WWE Superstar, his record will be forever tarnished, and, after watching his wife, Candice LeRae, lose her match against Dakota Kai thanks to interference from Bayley and IYO SKY, it’s pretty safe to say the Gargano household isn’t […]

Another week, another QR code briefly flashing across the screen on a WWE show to add yet another puzzle piece to the White Rabbit mystery. So what can it be this time? Does it just say, “Bray Wyatt is coming back at Extreme Rules,” as some fans hope to see, or is this instead another […]

While he’s largely been kept busy in WWE wrestling alongside his buddy Austin Theory and Alpha Academy partner in crime Otis, Chad Gable is nothing but a showman. He likes to take a microphone and work the crowd, he loves to insult the intelligence of whatever state he’s in, and when the opportunity presents itself, […]

After taking care of business against WWE’s Alpha Academy in a tag team bout with fellow unofficial Panda Express member Kevin Owens, Johnny Gargano’s night was seemingly over; he secured the win despite the best efforts of former NXT son Austin Theory, looked great in only his second official match as a member of the […]

After largely underwhelming fans with an expected 9:23 announcement that ultimately fell during a commercial break, WWE was at it again on Monday Night RAW, where, for the second show in a row, a QR code was flashed on the screen for fans to scan and see a few more pieces in the White Rabbit […]

Though he isn’t yet healthy enough to make it back on the field for the San Francisco 49ers, three-time Pro Bowler George Kittle found time to drive down to San Jose to watch some good old fashion WWE wrestling for a taping of RAW. .@gkittle46 in the house on #WWERaw!! pic.twitter.com/QqNxTEkkN4 — WWE (@WWE) September […]

Ever since Vince McMahon hung up his suit and had to find a new gym away from Titan Towers, Austin Theory has been without a father figure in the WWE Universe. Granted, Theory has talked himself up without Mr. McMahon by his side, acting like a big, strong boy like he’s Tyler “Freakin’” Bates of […]

When Seth “Freakin’” Rollins isn’t heel-ing it up as a member of the RAW roster, the WWE superstar is likely watching the Chicago Bears, who are his favorite team in the NFL. Rollins has shouted out the team in the past on multiple occasions and has even been photographed in Bears gear, which is slightly […]

WWE’s Johnny Gargano is known for three things above all else: for being very good at wrestling, for his run in NXT, and for being from Cleveland. Whenever a wrestling promotion would schedule a show in Cleveland, be it RAW, SmackDown, AEW, or even a random indie show from January through early August of 2022, […]

As Johnny Gargano prepares for his first match back in a WWE-owned ring since WarGames 2021 and his first televised match on RAW since, well, ever, the hairier member of #DIY is about to embark on the next chapter of his professional wrestling career. He’s taken his time off, spent valuable time with his wife […]

When Becky Lynch returned to WWE after swapping out her time as “The Man” to instead become “The Mom,” Vince McMahon and company made the controversial decision to code the six-time champion as a heel. That’s right, despite her status as arguably the greatest babyface female performer in WWE history and having to vacate her […]

Goodness, another week, another big-time in-ring squash by Kevin Owens as he looks to recapture his place at the WWE’s top “Prize Fighter.” It all started out well enough, when Austin Theory, with his first name officially back and his jaw still jacked from taking a fist to the face from Tyson Fury, took the […]

WWE fans, I hope you weren’t eagerly counting down the days until Control Your Narrative comes to a town near you, as you might just be having your ticket refunded in the not-too-distant future. Why? Well, because after watching Karrion Kross jump ship from CYN to WWE to become an ever-present thorn in the side […]

WWE’s Clash at the Castle was a tight show. Kicking off at 1 pm ET and running until right around 4, the show had six matches and zero title changes but still felt like a worthy use of an afternoon, especially for Comcast subscribers who get Peacock for free. Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY […]

WWE’s Seth Rollins and Riddle don’t like each other. They’ve been feuding for the better part of the summer for one reason or another since the latter fell into the former’s crosshairs following Hell in a Cell, and they’ve come to blows more than a few times in the weeks proceeding their scheduled match at […]

When IYO SKY returned to WWE at SummerSlam to team up with Bayley and Dakota Kai in a group that may or may not end up being called Damage CTRL, it shook the future of current RAW Women’s Champion, Bianca Belair, to her core. After finally besting Becky Lynch in her home state, marking the […]

Though she hasn’t been an active wrestler since 2019, when she lost to Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam, and has been a Hall of Famer for almost a decade, Trish Stratus remains one of the most popular performers in WWE history both among fans and her peers. A seven-time WWE Women’s Champion, one-time WWE Hardcore Champion, […]

Folks, Johnny Wrestling is back in the building, as, after wrestling his final bout in NXT all the way back at WarGames in 2021, Johnny Gargano made his main roster debut on the Toronto episode of Monday Night RAW. Taking to the ramp and then the ring one segment after his former #DIY partner, Tommaso […]

Edge’s first arena match in Toronto wasn’t for the Intercontinental Championship, the WWE Championship, or even for the WWF Championship, which was the belt’s name until the World Wildlife Foundation made Vince McMahon change his company’s name. Those belts were defended on the match, mind you, and were defended in one of the most consequential […]

On a show eagerly anticipated for the return of Edge to a Toronto wrestling ring for the first time in a decade, WWE’s RAW show broadcast live from the Scotiabank Arena will forever be remembered as the day Johnny Gargano, “Johnny Wrestling,” returned to the promotion that transformed him from an indie darling to an […]

As much as fans didn’t want to see it, Theory is officially back in WWE Universe. While this isn’t technically “news” news for fans in the know, as Theory has wrestled in three matches before making his return to RAW, including a win over Ricochet at the WrestleMania 29 Launch Party in LA, and a […]

WWE’s Kevin Owens is a darn good professional wrestler. He’s had fantastic matches everywhere from Bingo Halls to PWG, ROH, and NXT, and will forever be remembered as the man who wrestled “Stone Cold” Steve Austin in his final match as a professional wrestler as one of the two main events of WrestleMania 38. He’s […]

When A.J. Styles and Bobby Lashley took the ring for their first-ever singles match in WWE, TNA, or any promotion really, fans bucked in for what was expected to be a darn good match. As Corey Graves and company pointed out at the onset of the outing, the two performers are living legends who will […]

For one reason or another, fans have been debating which member of the WWE faction, The Shield, is the best wrestler. Some prefer Roman Reigns, the current Unsidputed WWE Universal Champion who has held the RAW belt for over 700 days and has genuinely dominated the wrestling world for about two years now. Reigns hasn’t […]

WWE giveth, WWE taketh away. For Kevin Owens, the Prize Fighter, to truly come back and represent the best of what wrestling can be, KO had to make a statement. That statement, unfortunately, came at the expense of none other than Ezekiel, the man he’d be feuding with for months due to maybe being his […]

“I smell war… and I’m game” these words, laid out over a Dakota Kai Instagram story that also featured a promotional poster for WWE’s Clash at the Castle, pretty well qualifies the relationship between the invading team of Bayley, Kai, and Iyo Sky and Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, and Asuka, the babyface trio looking to […]

The WWE Universe is in a weirdly good spot at the moment. On one hand, the company’s booking is drawing rave reviews from across the wrestling world, with fans already labeling Triple H a late entrant for Tony Khan’s Booker of the Year award. But then again, just because the weekly additions of former NXT […]

“Hey everyone, since Elias is gone, I’m going to be taking over his Instagram, I’m his younger brother – Ezekiel!” With this single sentence posted on his/his brother’s Instagram page, the most entertaining angle on RAW in what felt like forever burst into the WWE Universe and took on a life of its own. The […]
