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 […]

When Big E officially calls it a professional wrestling career, he’s a borderline lock to become a WWE Hall of Famer. A 12-time champion who has held singles gold at all levels in addition to being a member of arguably the most important trio in WWE history, even a potentially career-ending neck injury hasn’t slowed […]

When news broke live on RAW that Pat McAfee was going to be joining Michael Cole full-time as the new color commentator, it immediately shaped the way the matches of Drew McIntyre, Gunther, Seth Rollins, and more will be called for the foreseeable future. Suddenly, Wade Barrett, one of the more knowledgable commentators WWE has […]

After returning to the commentary booth and even the wrestling ring at the 2024 Royal Rumble, Pat McAfee made another appearance on the fallout edition of RAW live from Tampa Bay, only this time it wasn’t as a special guess. Celebrating his presence on the show by high-fiving the front row fans as his music […]

With Argyle, John Cena‘s latest movie, officially gearing up for its big release on February 2nd, “The Champ” has been doing the rounds to promote the picture, and, naturally, the topic of WWE has come up more often than not, especially as he’s become more and more comfortable with talking about the R-word: Retirement. With […]

When news broke that RAW, WWE’s flagship television show of 30 years and counting, was, for the first time in its history, leaving cable for Netflix in January of 2025, it instantly drew incredible reactions from fans around the world. Some blasted the move, questioning why WWE would take such an important television show off […]

When news broke that Seth Rollins had suffered some sort of knee injury in his fight against Jinder Mahal for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on RAW, it effectively served as an inflection point in the promotion’s current storytelling plan. Though rumors ran wild as to how badly Rollins was hurt, with some suggesting he’d […]

Drew McIntyre has been a member of the WWE Universe during this current run for almost seven years, returning at the 2017 NXT Takeover: Orlando and remaining a member of the promotion ever since. Freed from the “Chosen One” moniker that made him into a maligned persona during his first run with the company, McIntyre […]

After starting off RAW as only he can, with a big, flashy promo meant to pander to the local crowd, Cody Rhodes found himself interrupted by Drew McIntyre, who decided to interrupt his former Dashing Ones tag team partner in order to go down memory lane… and establish the pecking order for the RAW men’s […]

When Drew McIntyre was working his way up through the WWE ranks, CM Punk was a workhorse. A strong, charismatic performer with a collection of fans who loved his authenticity and in-ring grit, Punk was a hero to many, despised by a few, and the kind of performer developing young stars could look to as […]

After watching CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, and pretty much everyone else speak their minds on the second RAW of 2024, Seth Rollins marched down to the ring himself to help psych up the crowd and give the fans a reason to sing in the Rip City. Marching to the ring with his WWE […]

When Lince Dorado signed with WWE in 2016, first as a member of the Cruiserweight Classic and then as a full-on member of the RAW roster, both as a singles cruiserweight wrestler and then as a member of the Lucha House Party, it was significant hiring for more reasons than one. Added to the roster […]

After waiting for the better part of two hours to see Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s secret former WWE Champion who would be making their triumphant return to RAW for Day 1, fans were greeted by the million-dollar smile of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who came out to an incredible reaction and was universally cheered by […]

If there’s one person who didn’t want Cody Rhodes to have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year, it was Shinsuke Nakamura. The “King of Strong Style” and, apparently, an accomplished author who delivered his modern-day children’s classic, “An American Nightmare Before Christmas” on the RAW before Christmas, Nakamura has been taking palpable […]

For the longest time, Nia Jax has been the albatross around Becky Lynch‘s neck. Sure, “The Man” has accomplished a ton as a member of the WWE Universe, Main Eventing WrestleMania, selling a ton of merchandise as a crossover star, and arguably transcending gender to become the top WWE Superstar for a non-insignificant period of […]

When news broke that Shinsuke Nakamura was booked for a very special segment on RAW, dubbed “The American Nightmare Before Christmas,” it had fans of professional wrestling the world over what, in fact, that means. Did the “King of Strong Style” plan on taking part in a gimmick match against Cody Rhodes similar to the […]

When an assailant, later identified as Rikishi, ran down “Stone Cold” Steve Austin with a car heading into a November Survivor Series Elimination match on SmackDown in 1999, it put the future of the “Texas Rattlesnake” very much into doubt, even if fans didn’t know it at the time. Still reeling from the effects of […]

When news, or at least rumors, broke that Warner Brothers Discovery was interested in negotiating with WWE about the media rights for RAW, a decision potentially related to CEO David Zaslav’s relationship with former AEW favorite CM Punk, it set the internet wrestling community on fire. Was Nick Khan and company looking to run their […]

Trick Williams is the belle of NXT‘s ball right now. Sure, technically he isn’t the NXT Champion, that honor still belongs to Ilja Dragunov, but he is the Iron Survivor Challenge winner and who knows, maybe in a few weeks’ time, he’ll be able to unseat the “Mad Dragon” in the squared-circle on the first […]

When Nia Jax took the ring against Becky Lynch on RAW, she really has nothing to lose. Sure, Lynch talked a big game, about her own legacy, about Jax’s part in it, and about their forthcoming match set to take place at some point in the future, but the “Irresistible Force” didn’t have to do […]

Well, folks, it’s official: CM Punk and Seth Rollins are going to be seeing a lot of each other in WWE, as the “Best in the World” has officially decided to take his talents to RAW moving forward. Unfortunately, Rollins wasn’t into this announcement one bit, as the “Visionary” waited until just after his rival […]

After two weeks of anticipation, CM Punk took the ring on RAW for the final stop on his free agency tour, where he promised to tell fans of WWE which brand he would “sign” with moving forward. Would he choose SmackDown, working alongside fellow indie stalwart-turned-WWE personality Nick Aldis and fellow former Ring of Honor […]

After watching CM Punk deliver his “I’m Home” promo on RAW, a segment dissected to within an inch of its life due to the very specific verbiage and its unusual tone, the “Best in the World” was afforded a chance to address the WWE Universe once more on SmackDown, only this time, as he pointed […]

After making quite possibly the highest-profile return to WWE since… the NWO return 20 years ago, seemingly every wrestling fan, from the hardest of hardcore to the sort of lapsed individuals who still call it WWF, tuned in to Monday Night RAW to see what the “Best in the World,” CM Punk, had to say […]

Professional wrestling is a business. Sure, it can be magical, like CM Punk’s return to WWE at Survivor Series, funny, like Booker T’s time as King Booker, or tragic, like the oh so many performers who passed too soon outside of the ring or even in the ring, but at its core, wrestling is about […]

When Johnny Gargano officially returned to the WWE Universe after an extended absence spent becoming a father, it felt like only a matter of time before he and Tommaso Ciampa got the proverbial #DIY band back together. Sure, technically, Johnny Wrestling has done plenty of interesting things as a member of the WWE Universe without […]

After making his long-awaited return at Survivor Series, teaming up with Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, and long-time friend Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton made his way over to Nashville, Tennessee, to do, well, a little bit of everything for the Red Brand. From opening up the show, to feuding with Rhea Ripley on the […]
