Sami Zayn, without question, is the hottest talent in the WWE at the moment. Over nine months after first pleading his case to be of help to Tribal Chief Roman Reigns and the Bloodline, Zayn’s stock went soaring through the roof after he refused to attack a defenseless Kevin Owens with a steel chair during […]

After besting Madcap Moss on SmackDown, GUNTHER made his way over to The Bump to talk all things WWE alongside his Imperium buddies, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci. Asked about how he feels about Roman Reigns’ run atop the promotion, even “The Ring General” couldn’t make light of “The Tribal Chief’s” accomplishments. “I mean, it’s […]

Roman Reigns is the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. He had held both belts for 320+ days and the Universal Championship for a historic 900+ days. Reigns is undoubtedly one of the greatest WWE superstars of this generation and is earning the right to be mentioned among some of the best wrestlers of all time. […]

Well, here it goes, folks. The Cody Rhodes-Roman Reigns saga is underway, and it’s already started off with some bangs. During the last episode of Monday Night RAW, Rhodes was interrupted by Reigns’ manager Paul Heyman. In a fierce and impassioned speech, the neck brace-wearing Heyman berated Rhodes and all but told him he didn’t […]

With Sami Zayn officially out of the way after dropping a genuinely disappointing match to Roman Reigns at the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber, Cody Rhodes is the last line of defense standing between “The Tribal Chief” and 1,000 days as champion. Walking down to the ring in order to cut one of his much-anticipated promos, […]

After taking the biggest L of his career at the Elimination Chamber, Sami Zayn walked out to the ring in his home country of Canada and addressed a crowd eager to hear him talk about his match versus Roman Reigns and where he would like to go from here within the WWE’s squared circle. “I’m […]

Unfortunately for the fans in Montreal, Sami Zayn did not pull out the win at the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber. Despite having the entire crowd of 17,000 ravenous Quebecers cheering him on, Zayn quickly found himself facing off against a much bigger, faster, and stronger foe, and ultimately failed to secure the WWE’s ultimate prize, […]

As tough as it may be to admit, Sami Zayn was never going to beat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Yes, he had the crowd behind him, yes, the enthusiasm surrounding his character is among the hottest in the promotion this century, and yes, even Cody Rhodes has endorsed him as a […]

Though the WWE Universe currently has all eyes on the Elimination Chamber in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Cody Rhodes still has his eyes on WrestleMania 39, as he’s one of only two WWE Superstars with a guaranteed main event spot on the “Show of Shows.” Sitting down for an interview with Ariel Helwani about WrestleMania 39, […]

After working the fine folks of Montreal into a borderline riot during the final segment of SmackDown with a profanity-laced promo, Sami Zayn is gearing up for the match of his life, when he will take on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of the 2023 Elimination Chamber. If […]

After watching Sami Zayn F-Bomb his way through an all-time great segment on the go-home edition of SmackDown before the 2023 Elimination Chamber, the excitement surrounding WWE is at an all-time high, at least under the current Paul “Triple H” Levesque regime. That’s right, after what felt like a decade of watching Roman Reigns show […]

When Sami Zayn took the ring for the final segment of the final SmackDown before the Elimination Chamber, the WWE Universe assembled in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, was beyond ready to welcome back their hometown hero. Earning basically every cheer in the books, with fans singing along to “The Underdog from the Underground’s” vintage theme song […]

WrestleMania is where professional wrestlers bring out all of the stops to cement their legacies into WWE history. Fans have seen shocking debuts, musicians performing their favorite superstar’s songs, and even a tank and Terminators for good measure too, and as the shows get bigger, so too will the efforts of wrestlers to stand out. […]

As the WWE fans were preparing to change the channel during a Baron Corbin interview, who but Sami Zayn emerged from the crowd to demand an audience with Cody Rhodes on RAW. When “The American Nightmare” emerged from the back, greeting Zayn with his signature greeting, “so what do you want to talk about?” everyone’s […]

After interrupting Paul Heyman’s SmackDown-opening segment with a barrier-jumping promo that got seemingly the entire WWE Universe behind him and then having a word with Jey Uso back by the busses that maybe signifies that The Bloodline isn’t as tightly knit as Roman Reigns would like, Megan Morant of the SmackDown LowDown caught up with […]

As Cody Rhodes continues his one-man media tour ahead of his match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, it was only a matter of time before the second-generation WWE Superstar brought up John Cena, the defining superstar of the last generation who effectively handed off the baton to the “Tribal Chief” over the past half-decade. […]

This year’s WrestleMania is shaping up to go down as one of the most memorable events in history. With this being Triple H’s first WrestleMania as the head of creative, he will make sure this will be an event that fans will be talking about for a long time. The match set to headline WrestleMania […]

Opening up SmackDown with one of his signature promos, Paul Heyman walked down to the ring to let the WWE Universe know that while Cody Rhodes is a viable challenger for the “Head of the Table,” Sami Zayn is not. Disagreeing with Rhodes’ comments that WWE’s titles aren’t personal, suggesting instead that the Undisputed WWE […]

The Elimination Chamber PPV is shaping up to be an early candidate for the event of the year. WWE is putting together a card better than I could have ever expected it to be only a few weeks removed from the Royal Rumble. We all knew the event would be highlighted by Roman Reigns vs. […]

On paper, it makes sense that Cody Rhodes is a big fan of Paul Heyman. Both spearheaded alternatives to WWE that capitalized on being the “cool” promotion at the time, both have a deep, near-encyclopedic knowledge of the professional wrestling business, and both are scheduled to appear in the main event of WrestleMania 39, with […]

The winner of the Royal Rumble is guaranteed a world championship match at WrestleMania. In the past, the road to WrestleMania was pretty simple for whoever won the Royal Rumble match. You pick the world champion of your choosing, and the match is set. This year is a little different, though. Technically Roman Reigns is […]

Though WrestleMania 39 is still almost two months away, that hasn’t stopped Cody Rhodes from going on a bit of a media tour to help promote his main event spot with Roman Reigns, and after six months on the shelf, “The American Nightmare” has a lot to say. Want WWE to bring back the Winged […]

The Road to WrestleMania is in full swing. After the Royal Rumble, we have a good idea of what’s to come over the next few months. We know Cody Rhodes will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undispusted Universal Championship at WrestleMania. As of right now, the match will be for both titles, not just the […]

It has been over a week since Sami Zayn’s shocking betrayal of Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble. Not only that, it has been over a week since Jey Uso walked out on his own family in defense of Sami Zayn. I’ve said time and time before that this entire story involving The Bloodline has […]

After officially turning his back on Roman Reigns and The Bloodline at the Royal Rumble, fans across the professional wrestling world wanted to know what was next for Sami Zayn. Would he show his face on SmackDown with Kevin Owens and Jey Uso, forming a trio capable of matching wits with Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and […]

While Cody Rhodes has barely been back in WWE a week and has only been on television once since securing a win at the Royal Rumble, he’s already looking ahead to his biggest challenge in professional wrestling: taking on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39. Rhodes discussed the match on […]

For the first time in the 2023 calendar year and in almost a calendar year, Sami Zayn is a man without a faction in WWE. Now sure, technically, Zayn most likely has Kevin Owens, who he saved at the end of the Royal Rumble, and maybe Jey Uso too, who walked away from his family […]

As Sami Zayn learned all too well at the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble, dreams don’t last forever. Sometimes a dream opportunity comes along for a day, sometimes you luck into an unrepeatable result, heck, sometimes you get added to the most popular act in all of professional wrestling and become the most over man in […]

The ending to the Royal Rumble left us all speechless. Sami Zayn made the first move and turned on Roman Reigns and the Bloodline. After Reigns continued to belittle and get in Sami Zayn’s face about attacking Kevin Owens, Zayn hit Reigns in the back with a steel chair. Sami Zayn had enough of Reigns […]

Jey Uso has long been the alpha dog of The Usos tag team. Sure, there have been stories where Jimmy took center stage, like his angle with Mandy Rose and Naomi that aged particularly poorly considering why WWE decided to fire the leader of Toxic Attraction but ever since The Bloodline came into being, Jey […]

The American Nightmare is back! After a long period of rehabbing his torn pectoral muscle, Cody Rhodes made his triumphant return at the Royal Rumble. Rhodes was the last entrant of the Rumble, eliminating Gunther to win the annual battle royale. After the win, Rhodes was asked about a potential match against the Undisputed WWE […]

Well, this is going to be a rather interesting conundrum for Triple H. The 2023 Royal Rumble went about as expected, for the most part. Title defenses were held, and the projected winners actually won. Cody Rhodes won the Men’s Rumble, setting up a long-awaited match against Roman Reigns, possibly at Wrestlemania. But then, something […]

Well, about damn time this happened. WWE fans knew that at some point, Sami Zayn HAD to betray Roman Reigns and the Bloodline at some point. However, the folks at Triple H’s writer’s room decided to not rush things, instead keeping the tension and anticipation around. Everyone knew it was bound to happen, no one […]

With the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event done and dusted, with both Rhea Ripley and Cody Rhodes given the keys to WrestleMania, we ended the Main Event with Roman Reigns still your WWE Universal World Heavyweight Champion. The brutal main event saw the Head of the Table ravage not only Kevin Owens but also the […]

Roman Reigns is the top performer in WWE for a reason; he’s got a million-dollar body, a personality built for television, and the sort of in-ring abilities that hold up against darn near every single performer across the promotion’s history. So naturally, when Reigns was booked to face off against Kevin Owens at the Royal […]

And just like that, it became official: Cody Rhodes will main event WrestleMania 39 after running the table at the WWE Royal Rumble. Entering the match at entrant 30, Rhodes entered a contest loaded to the brim with interesting opponents, from long-time rival Seth Rollins to entrant number one, GUNTHER, and even Logan Paul, who […]

Sami Zayn wants to be WWE Champion. Now granted, that’s probably not something a member of The Bloodline should say, what with Roman Reigns currently holding the belt, but in a conversation with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Zayn laid out why he’d love to win the Royal Rumble and how he believes nine months […]

Folks, it’s official: the 2023 Royal Rumble is officially upon us. All of the groundwork has been laid, the feuds have been solidified, and at the end of the night, the “Road to WrestleMania” will officially begin. And the best part?

Roman Reigns is amidst one of the most historic championship reigns in WWE history. Reigns has been WWE Universal Champion for 877 days and has held the WWE Championship for 296 days. When you look up the word “dominant” in the dictionary, a picture of Roman Reigns will pop up. Over the last two years, […]
