The Undertaker’s WWE WrestleMania winning streak was one of the greatest accomplishments in wrestling history. What started as The Undertaker racking up a few wins at WrestleMania turned into something that became a massive part of the show. Fans would speculate who would step up to face The Undertaker each year. The Undertaker would defeat […]

When Cody Rhodes made his way from RAW to SmackDown to have his first-ever face-to-face encounter with Roman Reigns since returning to WWE at WrestleMania 38, it felt like a big deal. Sure, Rhodes had spoken ad nauseum about the prospects of wrestling “The Tribal Chief” at WrestleMania 39 to pretty much any and every […]

With 2022 officially in the rearview window, and all of the votes counted, the Wrestling Observer has officially released the results of The Wrestling Observer Awards, the long-running year-in-review that Dave Meltzer has been handing out since 1980. Though many of the awards were fairly predictable – Bryan Danielson won the Bryan Danielson Award, Tony […]

When Cody Rhodes boldly declared that he would be making his way to Washington D.C. to step into Roman Reigns’ house on SmackDown, fans knew they were in for a show. Though Rhodes has been on a pretty darn impressive media run hyping up his match with “The Tribal Chief” just about anywhere there’s a […]

When Paul Heyman boldly declared that Roman Reigns was the son Dusty Rhodes always wanted in a masterclass of a promo against “The American Nightmare,” Cody Rhodes on WWE RAW, it felt like your standard, run-of-the-mill insult. Sure, the elder Rhodes trained Reigns before he became an international Superstar during his time in developmental, but […]

Though it’s almost been two weeks since Sami Zayn came up short at the 2023 running of the Elimination Chamber, the hype surrounding “The Underdog from the Underground” has remained sky-high within the WWE Universe.

As Cody Rhodes inches closer and closer to his forthcoming match at WrestleMania 39, the WWE champion-in-waiting has already started to talk about his future prospects in the promotion once his current feud comes to an end. Rhodes has mentioned that he wants WWE to bring back the Winged Eagle belt, wants to be a […]

When Byron Saxton announced before RAW that Cody Rhodes was going to work a match with Chad Gable, it drew near-universal praise from WWE fans from around the world. Sure, Gable is pretty firmly in the lower mid-card at this point, but he’s still one of the best pure workers in WWE, as is evidenced […]

Roman Reigns has been the face of WWE for years. He has held the Universal Championship for 900+ days and is closing in on one full year as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. As historic as his reign has been, eventually, Reigns will lose his belts and step away from the ring for a while. After […]

Fans have been begging WWE to have Roman Reigns face off against The Rock for years. As we all know, Reigns and The Rock are cousins. We have seen The Rock make appearances and support Reigns in the past, like at Royal Rumble 2015. We have also seen Reigns beat down The Rock multiple times […]

Wrestling in the WWE is physically demanding. Because of this, it’s no surprise that a handful of wrestlers possess some form of athletic background to help them succeed in this industry. While some wrestlers have easily transitioned from MMA into wrestling, some wrestlers engaged in other sports activities far from wrestling but served as a […]

Becky Lynch is simply The Man. While Lynch did not have the best year of her illustrious career in 2022, especially after she dropped the Raw Women’s Championship to Bianca Belair at Wrestlemania 38 and suffered a shoulder injury in August, it’s clear that her legacy as one of the best women of all time […]

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.

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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]
