After leaving the ring a little worse for wear after his incredibly hard-fought Hell in a Cell victory over Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood, CM Punk was afforded a chance to address the WWE Universe the very next night during the opening segment of RAW, but what would he say? Would he turn heel, cursing […]

Kairi Sane, a member of the WWE’s Damage CTRL stable, suffered an eye injury on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW. During the September 2, 2024, episode of RAW, Sane competed with Iyo Sky in a Number 1 Contender’s Match for the Women’s Tag Team Championships. Unfortunately for Sane, the loss to the Unholy […]

After securing a huge Strap match win at Bash in Berlin, CM Punk boldly declared that his feud with Drew McIntyre was over before turning his attention to a proper pursuit of Gunther’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship. And yet, apparently, no one told that to McIntyre, as after losing the match, his dignity, and the […]

For the vast majority of his WWE career, Randy Orton has been a heel and darn good at it. Now sure, every once in a while Orton would put on a smile and do the right thing for a time, but even the most optimistic fan had to know that such moments were only fleeting, […]

Though the news technically broke before the start of Monday Night RAW, with the former All-Pro punter letting his fans know on social media to tune into WWE’s flagship show to see his final regular appearance of the year, Michael Cole and company made sure to make it official during the three-hour broadcast: Pat McAfee […]

Former NFL All-Pro punter Pat McAfee is leaving his commentating role of  WWE’s Monday Night RAW once football season starts. He recently revealed that the August 19, 2024, show will be his last for a while. He took to his Instagram Story to share his feelings as he drives to the arena. McAfee sings along […]

The heated rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk is not cooling down, as two of the WWE’s biggest stars brawled on RAW. This time, McIntyre got his comeuppance. He showed off the aftermath on social media. On X (formerly Twitter), McIntyre shared a picture of his back. It was welted and cut due to […]

After exiting the first round of the post-Judgment Day era of WWE on the fallout edition of RAW after SummerSlam, Rhea Ripley decided to open up the Red Brand’s return to the USA Network with a bang, shooting on why she’s happy to be rid of Dominik Mysterio and how excited she is to defeat […]

When it comes to professional wrestlers in WWE right now, few active performers have the resume of Finn Balor. One-half of the RAW Tag Team Champions alongside his protege, JD McDonagh, Balor has wrestled all over the world, founded Bullet Club in New Japan, and holds the distinction of being the first-ever WWE Universal Champion, […]

After almost three months away from WWE television, Rhea Ripley, the “Eradicator” of the Judgment Day made her surprise return at the end of RAW, and needless to say, Mami was not in a good mood indeed. The stage was set: after weeks and weeks of largely one-way flirting, Dominik Mysterio finally broke down and […]

Since Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over the WWE Universe and officially became the promotion’s new CCO, there have been a ton of new additions to the promotion, some of them familiar faces, some of them charismatic former college athletes, and others still who worked their way up the ranks of the indies until they […]

Outside of maybe Chad Gable, nobody in the WWE Universe had a more eventful week than Drew McIntyre. From losing his match at Clash at the Castle against Damian Priest in heartbreaking fashion, with CM Punk throwing on a referee’s shirt to interfere with the ultimate outcome, to declaring that he quit the promotion outright […]

While Money in the Bank is mere weeks away, and the WWE Universe will surely be spinning to see who ends up holding the briefcase at the end of the men’s and women’s Ladder matches, the entirety of the IWC has been focused on the emergence of the Wyatt Sick6, the new factions built around […]

There’s a moment in the documentary Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal where Taylor Rotunda, better known to fans of WWE as Bo Dallas and Uncle Howdy, declared, “Now it’s up to us to give him something he deserves that will let him live on forever. We owe him something big, something to truly honor his legacy,” […]

When Bron Breakker put Ricochet through the real glass windshield of a rental car at the end of RAW – a move that must have driven CM Punk crazy – it effectively served as the end of his time in WWE, with “The One and Only’s” final moment in the promotion coming via a thumbs […]

Despite being firmly on Adam Pearce’s naughty list after repeatedly beating up on Ricochet inside and out of the ring, Bron Breakker was afforded another chance to mix it up in the ring on RAW against the “Highlight of the Night” if for no reason other than the’s desire to prove he’s on-par with Mr. […]

When Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful broke the news that Becky Lynch‘s WWE contract would expire this weekend mere hours before her Women’s World Championship steel cage rematch with Liv Morgan on RAW, it created a very interesting dynamic ahead of the showdown. Would Lynch, who has been one of WWE’s top stars over the […]

When Drew McIntyre opted to leave RAW literal seconds before CM Punk showed up to confront him at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, it sent WWE’s “Straight Edged Superstar” into an absolute frenzy. Marching to the ring to his “Cult of Personality” theme song with the approval of RAW GM Adam Pearce, Punk spent […]

While CM Punk is widely celebrated for his talents on the microphone and in the ring, there’s an increasingly interesting narrative growing about his impact in the locker room, with Shane “Hurricane” Helms just the latest member of the promotion to shout out his supportive nature. Well now fans can add Dijak to the chorus […]

After an afternoon filled with rumors and whispers of a change at the top of the WWE Universe, Rhea Ripley marched out into the ring on RAW with her arm in a sling and a sullen expression on her face. Were the reports true? Was Ripley going to be out of action indefinitely and potentially […]

After pulling off the heist of the night in a WrestleMania 40 Money in the Bank cash-in on brand new World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest was riding high, but heavy is the head that wears the crown, and on the very next night on RAW, he immediately found out who would be his […]

When Becky Lynch took to the ring against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40, it was a classic example of a hot young challenger going against a grizzled veteran with more years on top than the other has in experience, period. Like Patrick Mahomes versus Tom Brady in Super Bowl LV before her, would Lynch hold […]

After beating the absolute bricks off of Cody Rhodes in the final segment of RAW – and beyond – last week in Connecticut, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson decided to keep his streak of RAW appearances alive in Brooklyn, New York, opening up the show in front of the biggest gate in the history of WWE’s […]

When Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is on WWE television, it’s safe to say he’s going to take up more time than he was allotted. From his opening promo segments on SmackDown that caused performers like Naomi to have to work their matches without their entrances, to his closing segment shortly thereafter, where the show clearly […]

After spending years in an unusual heel character that bypasses her signature nickname, her usual presentation, and her fan-favorite babyface ways for a leaner, meaner, more angular heel character, “The Man” Becky Lynch is officially back in the WWE Universe, and that decision in large part belongs to Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the current CCO […]

If you had to describe Drew McIntyre‘s current WWE character in one word, it would probably be a hater. From siding with the Judgment Day to beating up on Seth Rollins at Survivor Series to his all-time great social media slander of CM Punk ahead of WrestleMania 40, McIntyre went from a sword-wielding white knight […]

After coming out to the defense of his friend Jey Uso, during the main event of RAW, Cody Rhodes found himself in a one-on-one battle for the ages against the “Final Boss” of WWE, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, “The People’s Champion” who threatened the “American Nightmare” during his promo during the opening segment of the […]

Though he hasn’t been seen on AEW television since the now-infamous match between Sammy Guevara versus Jeff Hardy, where the former member of the Inner Circle was suspended for hitting a GTH on the “Charismatic Enigma” despite being soft-diagnosed with a concussion, Matt Hardy was still in the news this past week for making a […]

After teasing his big promo on RAW for the better part of two hours, Drew McIntyre found his moment quickly snatched up by Seth Rollins, a performer he accused of being addicted to the spotlight the week. Clearly annoyed by the “Visionary’s” actions and the reaction she routinely draws from a crowd, McIntyre waited in […]

After announcing his intentions to really dig into The Rock after an expansive Rock Concert on SmackDown, Cody Rhodes walked into RAW dressed in black – though criminally without his one episode AEW dyed black hair – with nothing but revenge on his mind. But what would Rhodes say? Would he accuse The Rock of […]

When news broke that Sami Zayn was going to be one of the competitors in a six-way Gauntlet match to decide on Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship challenger at WrestleMania 40, it felt like a perfect chance for the “Underdog from the Underground” to finally secure his spot at the “Showcase of the Immortals.” Sure, Zayn has […]

When news broke that Maxxine Dupri was booed at a California house show before Elimination Chamber for her, shall we say, green wrestling in a match against Nia Jax, it split opinions across the IWC. Some fans found the behavior totally acceptable, noting that show attendants have every right to boo a performer if they […]

After weeks of feeling sullen about his future within the WWE Universe, Sami Zayn was finally afforded a light at the end of the tunnel on the first RAW of March, when Adam Pearce, perplexed as to who should challenge Gunther at WrestleMania 40, announced a Six-Way Gauntlet match to decide on the next Intercontinental […]

As WWE attempts to push all sorts of different natives in the lead-up to WrestleMania 40, from the ever-escalating feud between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Cody Rhodes, to the ridiculous levels of hate both Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre share for CM Punk despite the “Best in the World” being unable to wrestle at […]

After securing his biggest win in recent memory at the Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia, Drew McIntyre made his triumphant stateside return in San Jose, California, where he was afforded a sizeable segment of RAW’s third hour to speak his mind about the match, his future, WrestleMania 40… and CM Punk. What, did you think […]

Ever since Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson returned to the WWE Universe in an increasingly full-time role back in January, the response from members of the locker rooms, specifically babyfaces like Seth Rollins, has largely been negative. Sure, Rocky is a draw, and gets serious interactions on social media whenever he so much as cuts a […]

The final RAW before Elimination Chamber was tasked with checking multiple WWE boxes. The final live main roster show before an early morning effort in Perth, Australia, at least by North American timezones, Paul “Triple H” Levesque and company had to juice up the rivalries being presented to some 45,000 fans at the Optus Stadium, […]

As the WWE Universe turned its collective eyes to the big guns of the women’s division on a very female-centric episode of Monday Night RAW, one of the more underrated stories of the night belonged to Zelina Vega, who was once again prevented from moving her career further due to continued interference from the newest […]

When it comes to tag teams in the WWE Universe, few have found themselves with as big a rocket strapped to their backs as the Creed Brothers, Julius and Brutus, plus their third, Ivy Nile, for good measure. Since being officially called up to the main roster in November of 2023, the duo have won […]
