Does any member of the WWE Universe get a harder time than Theory? Despite being a solid in-ring performer, a dedicated worker who can take a Stone Cold Stunner like a pro, and both the youngest Money in the Bank briefcase winner and the youngest United States Champion of all time, there’s just something about […]

In case you haven’t heard, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has officially been handed chief creative control over the entirety of the WWE Universe, from RAW and SmackDown to NXT, Main Event, and even NXT Level Up. His time away from the company to recover from his heart condition effectively served as the calm before the […]

After four decades with the WWE/WWF/WWWF, Vince McMahon has officially retired from the company. Though he didn’t do it by choice, as the ramifications of his incredibly reprehensible decision-making and pension for paying off women he had inappropriate relationships with had finally caught up with him, the thought of the WWE without Vinnic Mac was […]

After weeks of anticipation, Logan Paul and The Miz finally had their face-to-face encounter on WWE‘s RAW, and the results were downright… fruity.

Becky Lynch wants her WWE belt back, and she doesn’t care who knows it. Ever since she lost the RAW Women’s Championship all the way back at WrestleMania 38, Lynch has been devising ways to get in the ring with Bianca Belair with the belt on the line and though it hasn’t always worked out […]

After the “Cena Celebration” live from Laredo, Texas was a responding success, it’s only right that the WWE Universe returns to the idea again to celebrate another one of the promotion’s longest-tenured stars in Rey Mysterio in a celebration of his own, broadcast live from the wrestling mecca, Madison Square Garden on July 25th. NEXT […]

As the WWE inches closer and closer to their biggest show of the summer, SummerSlam, matches for their Big Four Premium Live Event are going to be announced with increasing frequency.

After weeks away from WWE television, including a notable absence from Money in the Bank 2022, Kevin Owens is reportedly heading back to RAW for Monday’s edition of the show broadcast live from the Amalie Arena in sunny Tampa, Florida. Yes, after being notably absent from the June 20th edition of RAW, likely because he […]

When John Cena isn’t playing the Peacemaker, appearing in commercials, or making his way back to the WWE Universe for events like the Cena Celebration on RAW, he does normal things like you, me, and everyone else. He cooks dinner, watches TV, and when he feels up to it, relentlessly posts memes on his must-follow […]

When news broke that Tommaso Ciampa’s long-time DIY tag team partner, Johnny Gargano, wasn’t going to re-sign with NXT, it felt like one of the final vestiges of a fantastically underrated in wrestling era was exiting the WWE Universe for good. The Undisputed Era? Gone. The Diamond Mine? Gutted. Marina Shafir released – and that’s […]

“Go away heat” is a funny thing in the WWE Universe. If a wrestler is undeservedly pushed, does a terrible job in the ring, or somehow embarrasses his or herself on WWE Programming, many a fan will not forget and ensure that their reputation is forever stained by their poor performance. While there have been […]

Logan Paul and The Miz are on very different wavelengths in the WWE. Paul thinks Miz is a snake in the grass, a clout vulture, and public enemy number one when he makes his way to WWE to begin his career in the promotion. And as for The Miz? Well, he thinks Paul is a […]

Becky Lynch wants to be the RAW Women’s Champion. Lynch also believes that she deserves a shot at being the RAW Women’s Champion of the WWE Universe, and on this week’s edition of WWE RAW, she made it clear that she is going to do what she needs to do to get the gold once […]

At 45, Brock Lesnar is nearing the end of his in-ring career in WWE. Sure, plenty of wrestlers continue their careers deep into their 40s, 50s, and even early 60s, with Ric Flair about to wrestle his “final” match at the tender age of 73, but for the most part, that isn’t the direction things […]

In case you somehow haven’t heard, Naomi and her tag team partner, Sasha Banks, have been away from the WWE for the better part of two months following their decision to walk out due to creative differences. Are the duo still employed by The Fed? No one really knows – there have been reports that […]

Rhea Ripley is a fantastic talent in a WWE ring. She has a fantastic image, a charismatic presence, and enough talent on the mic to make fans cheer or boo depending on her intentions. From her impressive run in NXT to her early success in WWE and her eventual run as the female member of […]

As things presently stand, Bobby Lashley is WWE‘s United States Champion. Now granted, that could change as soon as SummerSlam, as he has a rematch booked with Theory for the red, white, and blue belt and may ultimately see his reign capped off at 28 days, for now, “The Almighty One” is the champion, and […]

When asked about her relationship with ex-WWE superstar Bray Wyatt by Metro.UK, Alexa Bliss delivered a quote that will certainly set the wrestling world on fire. “Before he left, he just said ‘ keep it alive, keep it going’, So I took that to heart and tried to keep it alive and going. If he […]

Though he’s been notably absent from WWE‘s RAW over the past few weeks, likely in an attempt to skirt having to face-off against the Samson Brothers, Elias, Ezekiel, and Elrod, Kevin Owens still found time to get himself on television from his native country of Canada as, in a fun example of worlds colliding, the […]

Thursday, July 7th, 2022 is the final day of Paige. No, not because anything has happened to the performer born Saraya-Jade Bevis, who at just 29 has plenty of life to live, but because Paige, the character trademarked and owned by the WWE, will officially go into storage indefinitely – unless they pull a Fake […]

When news broke that WWE‘s 2022 iteration of Money in the Bank was moving to a “more intimate” venue, it left many a raised eye across the wrestling world. After suffering through weeks of underwhelming ticket sales, the organization opted to pull the plug on running their premier ladder-based Premium Live Event from Allegiant Stadium, […]

Asuka is the WWE Universe’s master of the memes. She posts them herself on Instagram, a lot of them really, creates them on her YouTube channel, Kanachantv, and even takes special pleasure in acting as over-the-top as possible whenever she’s on RAW, SmackDown, or a WWE Pay-Per-View, occasionally in the hopes of recreating on of […]

On the Fourth of July, RAW put on a very patriotic show. They had Bobby Lashley cut a very patriotic promo, had the Street Profits throwing a party in the parking lot, and members of the roster even had an impromptu hot dog eating contest in the vein of Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, […]

In honor of the Fourth of July, where the fine folks at the Nathan’s Hot Dogs company have made it a tradition to slam down dogs at a feverish clip for the sake of money, honor, and glory, the WWE Universe had themselves a good old fashioned cookout in the parking lot of the Pechanga […]

When discussing the prospects of Logan Paul returning to WWE, and whether or not the duo will be friends or foes when he does, The Miz struck a very familiar pose to anyone who spends a little bit too much time on NBA Twitter: The Brian Windhorst. Yup, you read that correctly, just when fans […]

When Liv Morgan took to the ring to celebrate winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship on RAW, it was met with near-universal acclaim by the fans assembled in the Pechanga Arena in San Diego. Her babyface speech was much appreciated by the WWE Universe, as was the first look at her SmackDown Championship on WWE television, […]

When Dominik and Rey Mysterio took the ring for their Fourth of July match on RAW, it was a special WWE moment. No, not because of their opponents, as the Mysterios have tussled with the men of Judgement Day before, but because the match was taking place in San Diego, the city the duo are […]

When (Austin) Theory lost his Unites States Championship at WWE’s Money in the Bank, it made more than a few fans very happy indeed. While no one can call Theory an underachiever for his age or suggest that he didn’t defend his title over his 75-day run, the angle on which he lost it, a […]

When WWE interrupted their otherwise tight Money in the Bank broadcast with a spooky vignette that hinted at the arrival/return/debut of a new performer, it unleashed a mystery on a fanbase known for having a keen eye and exceptional deductive reasoning. Some thought the spooky vibes signaled the much pined-for return of “The Field” Bray […]

Kevin Owens has truly been an MVP of WWE. The superstar can put on a great match, is a fantastic promo, and can turn even the most ridiculous ideas into pure gold. Let’s face it: the Elias/Ezekiel/Elrod angle is absolutely ridiculous on the surface, but it has been one of the most entertaining recurring segments […]

With Money in the Bank officially in the books, fans across the WWE Universe have one question and one question alone coming out of the Premium Live Event: Who was the mystery man in the cryptic and spooky video package? Okay, technically that isn’t correct; fans want to know what’s next for Liv Morgan now […]

Carmella was the first winner of the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, the second winner of the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and the first female Money in the Bank winner to defend a title at the Pay-Per-View; if anyone knows how to put on a show at WWE‘s green, white, […]

If you were planning on attending WWE‘s biggest show of the summer, the fittingly named SummerSlam, to explicitly catch the next in-ring appearance of John Cena you might want to sit down, as “The Champ” reportedly isn’t going to be on the card, let alone wrestling a match at the event. Yes, you read that […]

Monday’s edition of RAW was a certified love-fest for one of the best WWE Superstars of all time, John Cena. It had a little bit of everything; advice segments with current roster members, video packages from former foes – including a few who now work for AEW – and an in-ring promo from the man […]

You have to give it to Kevin Ownes; he’s never been one who is afraid to speak his mind on WWE television. He’s talked trash on the boss’s son, betrayed Chris Jericho in a Festival of Friendships segment “Le Champion” once called his favorite ever, and went to war with the entire state of Texas […]

While WWE Raw kicked off this week with a Men’s Last Chance Battle Royal for the penultimate spot in Money in the Bank, for the Main Event, it was the women’s turn with a Last Chance Elimination Match of their own, all for the eighth and final spot in the Women’s Money in the Bank […]

John Cena wasn’t universally popular when he was a regular performer at WWE. He had his fans, sure, but he was constantly booed at arenas across the country and was criticized by the “smart” marks for constantly burying young, ascending talents, from the Nexus to Alberto Del Rio. And yet, in a twist of fate […]

John Cena has been a member of WWE for 20 years and fans the world over couldn’t be more excited to celebrate his accomplishment.

When the men formerly known as Daniel Bryan and The Big Show made an appearance on RAW, at least via video package, to wish John Cena well on 20 years with WWE, it felt like only a matter of time before Chris Jericho, “La Champion” of AEW, found his way back onto the Titantron to […]
