When news broke that AJ Francis, better known to WWE fans as Top Dolla, was being released from his contract for the second time since Hit Row’s initial SmackDown appearance, it seemingly spelled the end of his run at the world leader in sports entertainment. … or did it? While the former New England Patriots […]

When news broke that not only was Ricochet’s contract set to expire with WWE but that he was likely leaving RAW and his partner, Sam Irvin, behind for AEW, it drew all sorts of different reactions from fans across the professional wrestling world. Some celebrated the news, as reuniting Ricochet with his indie rival, Will […]

When it comes to professional wrestling, few talents, be they wrestlers, GMs, commentators, or executives, have seen, done, and accomplished more than Hulk Hogan. The one-time face of WWE who went on to revolutionize the industry in arguably the most important heel turn of all time as a member of the nWo, the “Hulkamaniac” has […]

With Forbidden Door mere hours away, Will Ospreay has a chance to do something he’s never done before in his career: main event All In as the AEW World Champion. Sure, that task is easier said than done, as the Don Callis Family may turn out to be more foe than friends on Sunday, and […]

After watching Ricochet take an absolute beating at the hands of Bron Breakker, being thrown through the real glass windshield of a rental car in a move that must have had CM Punk clutching his pearls, the vast majority of the greater wrestling fandom – minus Pat McAfee – assumed that the “Highlight of the […]

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 […]

When it comes to high flyers in the world today, few performers are on the same level as Ricochet, and yet, if you watch WWE and WWE only, you wouldn’t know it. Sure, he’s had a few elite matches, gone viral for spots with Carmelo Hayes and Logan Paul, and even became the first-ever WWE […]

Will Ospreay has only been a member of AEW for less than a year, and already the “Commonwealth Kingpin” has placed himself front and center on the recruiting train, helping to ensure that the very best talents in the world today cash their checks from Tony Khan. The latest apple of his eye? That would […]

Before Will Ospreay was the hottest new face in AEW, or dominating New Japan Pro Wrestling as one of the faces of the promotion, he was just a kid from Essex, England looking to make a name for himself on the indies as he slowly worked his way up the NJPW card. Wrestling everywhere from […]

In a significant move to tackle the rampant cheating plaguing its flagship titles, Activision has recently declared a major overhaul in security protocols for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. This announcement comes on the heels of a massive ban wave that saw over 6,000 players expelled from the game for cheating, underscoring […]

Ricochet has become one of WWE’s reliable constants, but that also means he has become predictable. That also applies to the high flyer’s WWE 2K24 OVR ratings. WWE 2K24’s rating for Ricochet is to be expected, given the lot that was given to him in the company and considering how he’s not really doing anything […]

After being jumped backstage and beaten down by the “King of Strong Style,” Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet, and his fiance, Samantha Irvin, stopped by The Bump to discuss their relationship, their favorite songs – and anime – and most importantly of all, what the heck is going on with the former IWGP World Champion. Now, to […]

Ricochet is in the middle of a serious hot streak in the WWE Universe. Since scoring a viral moment with Logan Paul at the Royal Rumble, Ricochet has been on a roll, forging a seemingly leggy tag team with Braun Strowman that was cruelly dashed when the “Monster Of All Monsters” suffered a neck injury […]

When Logan Paul signed up to become a member of the WWE Universe, it felt like a gimmick. Sure, the “Maverick” played sports in high school like so many people do, but after almost a decade spent focusing on garnering ridiculous levels of social media fame, would he really be able to get in the […]

Heading into SummerSlam, everything was on the line for Ricochet. If he won the match, or at least turned in a fantastic in-ring effort, it could supercharge his WWE career, which has largely been stuck in the middle of the mid-card with only the occasional flirtations with the main event picture offered his way. And […]

For all of his flaws, Logan Paul is a darn good athlete. After starting his match against Ricochet with a single slap by the “One and Only,” the two high flyers worked the sort of fast-paced, hype-choreographed matches that a certain type of WWE fan will make fun of promotions like AEW and PWG for […]

When Ricochet and Logan Paul take the ring in the opening match of SummerSlam this Saturday in Detroit, it will be a classic example of the haves versus the have-nots. Initially signing with the promotion back in 2018 after having spent 13 years working on his craft on the indies, when Ricochet made his debut […]

After watching Logan Paul talk up the crowd in his final RAW appearance before SummerSlam, Ricochet made his way to the ring like a galavanting hero to inform the “Maverick” just how he feels heading into the biggest show of the summer. “Wait, wait, wait, wait Logan, what’s going on, man?” Ricochet asked as the […]

After foreshadowing a future one-on-one match dating all the way back to the 2023 Royal Rumble, Logan Paul finally accepted Ricochet‘s call for a match at SummerSlam, and the duo will be facing off in Detroit as a result, likely in the opening match of the show because his brother Jake has a boxing bout […]

After making it abundantly clear that he wanted to address Logan Paul in the middle of the ring in Tampa Bay on the previous edition of RAW and all week since, Ricochet curiously found himself alone during his allotted time in the Amalie Arena, despite calling out the “Maverick” repeatedly to start the segment. “Logan, […]

In the eyes of many, when it comes to hardcore wrestling, there’s Mick Foley, and then there’s everybody else. A prolific in-ring performer who inspired a style of wrestling that thousands upon thousands have attempted to imitate to this day, albeit without his sense of showmanship and a keen eye for character, Foley might just […]

After thoroughly bruising Logan Paul’s ego – and face – on the previous edition of RAW via a combination potent tounge lashing/Sliced Bread, the “One and Only” Ricochet was feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good about himself heading into the July 17th edition of WWE’s flagship show. Though he didn’t have a match booked for the […]

After boldly declaring his intentions to address Logan Paul on Monday Night RAW during the fallout edition of WWE’s flagship show following Money in the Bank, the “One and Only” Ricochet got in the ring with street clothes on and a microphone in his hand and proceeded to cut a promo explaining his feelings about […]

Logan Paul has been a member of the WWE Universe for roughly two years, give or take a few months. Over that tenure, he’s worked a grueling schedule of six matches, three in 2022 and three in 2023, and amassed a respectable record of 2-6, with one failed title shot versus Roman Reigns at Crown […]

After taking part in arguably the scariest spot on the entire Money in the Bank card and following it up with a brutal brawl backstage disclosed to fans on Monday Night RAW, the “One and Only” Ricochet stopped by the backstage area with new reporter Jackie Redmond to drop the hammer on social media star […]

After missing out on taking part in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, Bronson Reed could have pouted, throwing a fit in the locker room or going on a rampage through the backstage area of RAW to rip through the likes of Akira Tozawa as revenge, fortunately for the security staff in Baltimore, Maryland, […]

Though he’s technically been qualified for a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match for a while now, securing the W over The Miz all the way back on May 29th, Ricochet picked up some clear momentum on RAW by pinning rival Shinsuke Nakamura – and delivering some choice blows to Bronson Reed […]

While Bronson Reed still hasn’t qualified for a match at Money in the Bank, with Logan Paul nominating himself for the last spot in the Ladder match despite somehow avoiding a qualifying match of his own, that hasn’t stopped the New Zeland-born Superstar from pretty much running the table every time he gets in a […]

After two-plus months away, Logan Paul finally made his triumphant return to the WWE Universe near his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, to discuss his future plans in The Fed and his desire to make “Believeland” into “The City of Champions” once more. Sitting atop a ladder in the center of the ring with both Money […]

Ricochet is a certified WWE Superstar. Initially signing with the promotion in 2018 after successful stints in PWG, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and Dragon Gate, plus a run in Lucha Underground, where he wrestled under the Prince Puma moniker, Ricochet has wrestled almost 500 matches, formed multiple tag teams, and has even won a few […]

Bronson Reed may not be the tallest man on the WWE roster, the heaviest man on the WWE roster, or the fastest man on the WWE roster, but when it comes to being a Bam Bam Bigelow-style human bowling ball who can throw his weight around like a battering ram and chase foes down like […]

The Money in the Bank match is one of the most exciting matches in WWE history. Each year, between 6-8 superstars compete in a ladder match for a briefcase that guarantees them a world championship match over the course of a year. Since being introduced in 2005 at WrestleMania 21, the Money in the Bank […]

When Shinsuke Nakamura secured his spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, he did so at the expense of Bronson Reed, who wound up losing his first-ever match on RAW without much fanfare. So naturally, Reed decided to pay back that milestone by absolutely cutting into Nakamura’s match with Ricochet on RAW and […]

After besting The Miz in a surprisingly hard-hitting match on RAW, Ricochet has officially punched his ticket to Money in the Bank, where he will take part in the show’s eponymous Ladder Match alongside Shinsuke Nakamura and four other Superstars to be decided over the next few weeks. Stopping by RAW Talk to discuss his […]

After working through the first four rounds of Day 2 of the WWE Draft, with Trish Stratus, Karrion Kross, Shayna Baszler, Ronda Rousey, and LA Knight all coming off the board in the fourth round, Molly Holly and Road Dogg came to the ramp for the penultimate round of the proceedings, with two picks each […]

When Ricochet and Braun Strowman started tag teaming together on SmackDown, it was unusual. Sure, WWE has thrown tag teams together in the past, and, weirdly enough, Ricochet and Strowman even sort of look similar with their long beards/no hair combos, but stylistically, the former is one of the most physically gifted high flyers in […]

After securing a win over the Viking Raiders on SmackDown, Ricochet was feeling pretty good as he attempted to chase down his tag team partner, Braun Strowman, backstage. Still, that didn’t stop the high-flying “One And Only” from taking a moment to address the match with Megan Morant for a digital exclusive segment. “You know […]

Karrion Kross is a fan of professional wrestling. While the WWE Superstar is always down to play the heel on television, using his size, his trickery, and Scarlett, to torment the likes of Drew McIntyre and Rey Mysterio, but when he’s off camera, the 37-year-old New York Native is more than willing to put over […]

After watching his twin, Jey Uso, walk out of the Royal Rumble after Roman Reigns turned on Sami Zayn at the end of the main event, Jimmy Uso was unsure what was going to happen next for his tag team, The Usos. Would the duo stick together, overcome their differences, and remain a team either […]
