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. Current stars sought out the 16-time world champion for advice heading into their matches, stars of yesteryear – even ones who work for AEW – sent in video packages celebrating Cena’s […]

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 […]

After watching Angelo Dawkins take care of Jimmy Uso on the previous episode of RAW, Montez Ford had a lot of pressure on his shoulders heading into a singles match of his own against the WWE‘s other Uso – Jay, not Sami Zayn. If he won the match, the Street Profits would earn the rights […]

When John Cena debuted in WWE 20 years ago, AEW wasn’t a thing. Many of the promotion’s biggest stars, and some of their commentators too, were employed by companies like TNA, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and yes, WWE, where they built up legacies worthy of a place in wrestling history. So, when a promotion like […]

With WWE‘s Money in the Bank less than a week away, RAW put on a Qualifying Battle Royal to secure one of the two final spots in the forthcoming Pay-Per-View’s namesake match. The rules were simple; 20 WWE superstars comprised of both RAW and SmackDown performers entered the ring at the start of the three-hour […]

WWE‘s Mustafa Ali knows a thing about being underrated. After a fairly successful initial run with the promotion and its various brands that saw the “Prince” secure big wins over the likes of Tony Neese, Drew Gulak, The Miz, and Darby Allen via EVOLVE 116, Ali found himself the leader of Retribution and eventually off […]

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 […]
