Today, at the Night of Champions PLE, marks Roman Reigns 1,000th day as the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. This milestone is a throwback to a bygone era when long title reigns were more commonplace, but it somehow found its place in the current fast-paced and ever-changing landscape of today’s wrestling. Ironically, Reigns’ achievement is all […]

After weeks of anticipation, WWE is running their rare second “Premium Live Event” of the month, with a seven-match Night of Champions card headed to fans on Peacock live from Saudi Arabia at the unusually early time of 1 pm ET, 10 am PT. Soon, fans will find out who will hold the WWE World […]

Whether Roman Reigns and his tag team partner Solo Sikoa – who have never worked a tag team match together – are able to leave Night of Champions as the new Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, or they come up short in disastrous fashion to the incumbents, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, “The Tribal Chief” […]

WrestleMania 40 is still almost a year away, but that doesn’t mean WWE can’t start planning which matches will main event their biggest show of the year. On Night 1 of WrestleMania 39, we saw Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens defeat The Usos to win the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships. On Night 2 of […]

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns – and Dean Ambrose, aka Jon Moxley – will forever be linked within the WWE Universe. Coming together to form The Shield, arguably the most popular trio in wrestling this century right up there with the New Day, all the way back in 2012, Rollins and Reigns have floated in […]

WWE has booked Solo Sikoa as a future superstar since he made his main roster debut last year. At Clash at the Castle, just as Drew McIntyre was about to defeat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Sikoa stopped the ref from making the three count. Since that day, Sikoa has had a […]

JBL has been a lot of things over his professional wrestling career; he’s been an acolyte, he’s been a WWE champion, he’s chased immigrants at the border telling them to leave the United States, and he even had a short-lived friendship with Baron Corbin, which thankfully came to an end before it could become too […]

After 21 years in the trenches, fighting through setbacks, gimmick changes, and even a character swap from indie to the WWE, Sami Zayn finally reached the apex of the industry when he headlined the first night of WrestleMania 39.

Though WrestleMania 39 has been in the proverbial books for almost two months, fans, wrestlers, and WWE Hall of Famers have remained fiercely engaged on the topic of Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s decision to keep the belt on Roman Reigns and leave Cody Rhodes sitting in the center of the ring with his story still […]

During his prime, there was a vocal segment of WWE fans who hated John Cena for his seeming inability to put others over and step out of the spotlight for more than a few moments. A fresh face would work up the ranks, crowds would get behind them, and poof, their push would disappear because […]

After learning about WWE’s game-changing decision to have Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, not The Usos, challenge for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens took the ring for the opening segment of RAW to try to talk out what just happened alongside the ruckus crowd of Greensboro fans in attendance. “Greensboro, […]

Working hard on the promotional circuit to get millions of people to go watch Fast X – *spoiler alert* they will regardless – John Cena tracked through his old wrestling stomping ground to discuss his own personal hierarchy of wrestling greats and decided to put one of the current wrestlers he’s shared the ring with […]

Taking part in a seemingly simple video for WWE Digital, breaking down their famous wrestling family tree for fans out of the know, The Usos, Jimmy and Jey, ran through the lineage of the greater Anoa’i wrestling family. While they did leave off a few very notable members of their family tree, with Dwayne “The […]

Since WrestleMania 39, there has been a lot of the unexpected when it comes to Cody Rhodes. No one expected Rhodes to lose to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. The following night, no one expected Brock Lesnar to turn on him before a tag match against Reigns and Solo Sikoa, setting up a new feud for […]

On Friday Night SmackDown, we learned who will be competing for the newly revived WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Seth Rollins will be taking on A.J. Styles at Night of Champions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Before a new champion is crowned, we must first look at how problematic it is. The addition of the new WWE […]

For the first time since WrestleMania 39, Roman Reigns appeared on SmackDown, and needless to say, he wasn’t too happy with The Usos, who lost not one, but two matches to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens with the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships belts on the line.

By announcing the new World Heavyweight Championship, WWE extensively handed themselves an out; an opportunity to have their Cody Rhodes cake and eat it two. At WrestleMania 39, Paul “Triple H” Levesque had a chance to turn “The American Nightmare” into a certified star; the moment was there, 80,000 fans were cheering “The Grandson of […]

Last month, Cody Rhodes failed to dethrone Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania. This was a defining moment for Rhodes because he failed to finish the story that he came back to WWE to complete. After his defeat, WWE made it seem as if we’d see a rematch between the two […]

Cody Rhodes is a wrestler who is driven by passion, not cold calculation. When a fan suggested that an indie show couldn’t do 10,000 tickets sold on Twitter, Rhodes took that as a personal challenge and helped to put together All In, the show that eventually launched AEW and effectively flipped the professional wrestling world […]

Since returning to the company at SummerSlam in 2020, Reigns has been one […]

After breaking down the festivities of the 2023 running of the WWE Draft, Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced the four picks in the first round, which saw six performers find their new homes.

WWE is ready to shake things up again. The WWE Draft kicks off Friday on SmackDown and is set to usher in a new era in the company. Since Triple H took over creative last year, fans have wondered if a WWE Draft would happen in the future. After announcing its return a few weeks […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced the christening of a brand new WWE World Heavyweight Championship, it effectively shut the door on anyone ending Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship reign before it would reach the 1,000-day mark at the end of May. Now granted, to some, this decision was met about as well as The Usos […]

After nearly 400 days as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns’ reign is over… at least kind of. That’s right, after teasing a “major announcement” for RAW on social media, Paul “Triple H” Levesque walked down to the ring to thunderous applause from the Chicagoland crowd and proceeded to announce that, after nearly 1,000 […]

Why didn’t “Stone Cold” Steve Austin appear on either night of WrestleMania 39? Did he have other commitments? Was he slinging Broken Skull IPAs in El Segundo like he did on 3:16 days? Or could he simply not make it through the traffic, which was brutal, to make his way into SoFi Stadium in Inglewood? […]

Though he technically hasn’t wrestled a match since all the way back in 2022, when he lost to Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber, Bill Goldberg technically isn’t retired; he just isn’t a member of the WWE Universe anymore, as his contract expired earlier this year after failing to come to terms on an extension […]

Roman Reigns has been on top of the world since returning to WWE as a heel at SummerSlam in 2020. Quickly after returning, he regained the title that he had never lost, the Universal Championship. Since then, Reigns has been nearly unbeatable. He hasn’t been pinned or submitted since December 2019, and it doesn’t look […]

The main event of Night 2 of WrestleMania 39 effectively came down to one question that Paul “Triple H” Levesque and the rest of WWE creative had to answer: creating a new Mega-Babyface Superstar in Cody Rhodes or keeping Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship win streak alive as he inches closer and closer to 1,000 days […]

Roman Reigns continues to establish himself as one of the greatest WWE superstars ever after his shocking victory over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39.

When Roman Reigns’ arm was lifted at the end of WrestleMania 39, it changed the very trajectory of the WWE Universe moving forward. Suddenly Cody Rhodes went from the champion-in-waiting to Brock Lesnar’s plaything, The Usos went from misery loves company to on the outside looking in on The Bloodline following their loss to Kevin […]

WrestleMania 39 is the most successful WrestleMania of all time. WWE announced that the two-night spectacle was the highest-grossing event in the company’s history. 161,892 fans were in attendance at SoFi Stadium over the two nights, and WWE set new records for viewership, gate, sponsorship, merchandise, and social media interaction.

For literally years, plural, WWE fans wanted nothing more than to see Roman Reigns wrestle Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the main event of WrestleMania.
