When news broke that Vince McMahon had agreed to a $3 million hush-money payment with a former employee, the ramifications were swift. Before the week’s edition of SmackDown could go on the air, McMahon had stepped down as the company’s active CEO and Chairman of the Board in favor of his daughter Stephanie, and he […]

Becky Lynch wants to take part in WWE‘s Money in the Bank. Okay, technically, Lynch wants to win back the Raw Women’s Championship, which she most recently held in April in her second reign, but after losing to Bianca Belair on 16 occasions – if you count house shows – and then failing to secure […]

Kevin Owens really doesn’t like WWE‘s newest superstar, Ezekiel. He doesn’t like his catchphrase, he doesn’t like his clean-shaven face, and doesn’t like that he’s secretly Elias, whom the performer in question refers to as his older brother. Now mind you, Ezekiel isn’t actually Elias, that’s a conspiracy theory that has been proven wrong on […]

It hasn’t been a particularly good week for the WWE wrestler formerly known as Matt Riddle. He lost a big-time stipulation match to Roman Reigns that will keep him from wrestling for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship for the remainder of this current run on SmackDown, was overshadowed by the return of Brock Lesner, and […]

When news broke that Vince McMahon, fresh off of an industry-rocking controversy involving paying out hush money to an ex-employee following an in-office affair, would appear on WWE SmackDown, the Friday night affair became must-watch television. Would Mr. McMahon apologize for his wrongdoings? Or would he instead come out with a righteous indignation the likes […]

Welp, if you were enjoying the feud between Becky Lynch and Dana Brooke over the WWE 24/7 Championship, you aren’t in luck: It’s over. That’s right, after two straight weeks of entertaining back and forth bouts interrupted by the likes of R-Truth, Akira Tozawa, and Asuka, Brooke’s run with the belt has come to an […]

On Wednesday night, Raj Giri, the founder of Wrestling Inc. and Fight Line, took to Twitter to share some rumors he’s been hearing from his sources: Sasha Banks, the five-time RAW Woman’s Champion, one-time Smackdown Champion, and three-time Tag Team Champion has been released by WWE. Though the rumors haven’t been confirmed–as even Sean Ross […]

Unless you live in the New York metropolitan area, don’t plan on going to WWE Raw hoping to acknowledge the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, this summer. According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Reigns is currently only booked for the July 25th episode of RAW this summer, […]

When it comes to professional wrestling main events, there’s failing to stick the landing, and then there’s the conclusion to this week’s WWE Raw. After two-plus hours of wrestling, promos, backstage segments, and hype videos, the main event is supposed to elevate the energy up to a big crescendo for the finale that really ties […]

Bianca Belair’s WWE Raw Women’s Championship run has been filled with big bout after big bout. She’s taken care of Becky Lynch, beaten Asuka, and, at Hell in a Cell, defeated Becky Lynch and Asuka to keep her title run alive and well. But at Money in the Bank, Belair has a match on the […]

Seth Rollins has rapidly become the WWE‘s answer to the Green Goblin. He dresses unnecessarily lavish, makes schemes, and cackles like a cartoon villain in an animated Disney movie. For years now, and especially since his program with Cody Rhodes that ended with a sledgehammer assault on the “American Nightmare’s” torn pec, Rollins has gone […]

After lying about being his brother Elias on last week’s edition of RAW to secure a match versus Kevin Owens, Ezekiel took the ring on Monday night and gave the Zeek lovers in attendance exactly what they wanted: Sports entertainment. Despite taking shot after shot from Corey Graves for his lying ways, Ezekiel put on […]

Things haven’t been going particularly well for Becky Lynch as of late. She lost to Bianca Belair at Wrestlemania, lost to Bianca Belair and Asuka at Hell in a Cell, and, in a twist of fate that still has Bryan Alvarez floored, lost to Dana Brooke in an impromptu 24/7 Title match mere moments after […]

Whether you love him, hate him, or fall somewhere in between, John Cena is undoubtedly the biggest star WWE has produced in the last 15 years, with his rise from “Ruthless Aggression” to “You Can’t See Me” to an international movie star a thing of wrestling beauty. And yet, no matter how much money his […]

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 […]

Despite only being established earlier this year, the budding WWE faction Judgment Day has already experienced a series of swerves that completely changed their makeup. After beating him at Hell in a Cell the night before, Finn Balor joined Edge, Damien Priest, and Rhea Ripley on Raw, just before the group turned on their founder […]

When Riddle initially teamed up with Randy Orton in the WWE, it felt like a novelty. “The Viper” is, was, and will forever be one of the best legacy wrestlers in WWE history, and his serious demeanor – not to mention the voices in his head – makes him a strange fit paired up with […]

The first segment of Monday night’s edition of Raw started out so well. Cody Rhodes entered the ring, the WWE universe celebrated his fantastic match at Hell in a Cell, and all looked right in the world, save, of course, the pec injury that will send Dusty’s son under the knife on Thursday. Both competitors […]
