After watching Randy Orton seemingly skip the line to become the number one contender for Roman Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble, LA Knight earned some rare good news on SmackDown when, alongside the “Viper” and AJ Style, he was booked for a three-way match at New Year’s Revolution to decide on […]

After watching AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and LA Knight argue their way into a new three-way match to decide on Roman Reigns’ opponent for the 2024 Royal Rumble, it got Roman Reigns and the rest of The Bloodline feeling a certain type of way. On one hand, it doesn’t really matter who wrestles Reigns at […]

After months away from WWE television – literally – Roman Reigns made his triumphant return to SmackDown to discuss the state of The Bloodline, a faction that has found a new foe in familiar face as of late in Randy Orton. Marching down to the ring with his brand new golden WWE Championship on his […]

2023 has been an interesting year for Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief has continued his legendary reign as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion but has shown up less than ever. Reigns has only competed in seven televised matches, with five being for his championship. He surpassed 1,000 days as champ in 2023, but The Bloodline storyline […]

When Baron Corbin took his talents to NXT after failing to be selected in the 2023 WWE Draft, it felt like a certified nothingburger. Sure, Corbin has a few big matches on his resume, the most notable being retiring Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 35 and his feud against Roman Reigns, but his highlights on the […]

If there’s anyone who knows a thing or two about Roman Reigns, it’s Seth Rollins. They were members of The Shield, have shared the ring 470 times, if you can believe it, and have maintained a healthy rivalry for years with barely any screen time to keep it going, with Rollins the last man to […]

When CM Punk signed with WWE, the first thing fans started to discuss, other than why Seth Rollins was so angry and how bad Tony Khan fumbled the bag, was who the “Best in the World” would wrestle in The Fed. Would he go against the “Visionary,” who he clearly had beef with? How about […]

CM Punk is officially back in WWE, and wrestling fans worldwide are ecstatic. Not only did the unthinkable happen with Punk returning to the company nearly ten years after leaving, but this opened the door to countless potential matchups and feuds we have never seen before. WWE should waste no time with CM Punk’s return […]

What do Kurt Angle and Roman Reigns have in common? Well, for one, they’re both multi-time WWE Champions who will eventually see their names right alongside each other in the Hall of Fame. They also came to professional wrestling from another sport, with Angle famously becoming an “Olympic Hero” for his efforts in Greco-Roman wrestling, […]

CM Punk made his triumphant return to the WWE this past Saturday at Survivor Series: War Games. While he seems bound to feud with Seth Rollins, a new report suggests he could be on a collision course with Roman Reigns soon. Feuding with the Shield Based on a new report from Sports Illustrated, it seems […]

Folks, it’s official: CM Punk is back in WWE. That’s right, after being fired on his wedding day nearly a decade ago and saying darn near every bad thing he could think of about the promotion during his time as a free agent, as a member of UFC, and most recently as a member of […]

After thoroughly establishing himself as one of the top stars in all of WWE regardless of brand, faction, or alignment, fans wondered how LA Knight would handle taking his first big loss as a member of SmackDown to Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel after experiencing a year of unseemingly unchecked upward momentum. Would Knight, a […]

Gunther is one of the biggest, baddest champions in the entire WWE Universe. Since defeating Ricochet for the International Championship last summer, the Ring General has defeated just about everyone on both RAW and SmackDown, with no signs of slowing down after a record-breaking 528-day -and counting – run with the “Workman’s Title.” Discussing the […]

The second the referee hit the mat 1-2-3 and Roman Reigns’ song “Head of the Table” hit the PA at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, it effectively marked the start of Cody Rhodes‘ next Road to WrestleMania – a trip 364 days in the making. But what, you may ask, can a performer do to […]

Since the moment Cody Rhodes came up short at WrestleMania 39, having to listen to Roman Reigns‘ theme laid out in the middle of the SoFi Stadium ring with a rubber chicken next to him, it felt like the clock began to tick towards a rematch at WrestleMania 40. Sure, a year in professional wrestling […]

After taking a fairly clean – by Roman Reigns’ standards – loss to the “Tribal Chief” at Crown Jewel, fans, pundits, and his fellow wrestlers alike wanted to know how LA Knight would rebound. Would the “Megastar” take his loss in stride, accepting the bump in the road and attempting to reload in a more […]

Professional wrestling legend Ric Flair gave his thoughts on the possibility of seeing current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns take on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at WrestleMania at a future event. Flair originally gave a response, but then changed his mind quickly according to Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson. “I’d like to see it but I […]

When news broke that Lance Anoa’i, the son of Headshrinkers standout Samu and the heir apparent to his Wild Samoans moniker from inside The Bloodline, had requested his release from MLW, it turned heads around the professional wrestling world. Sure, on paper, the news that Anoa’i could sign anywhere shouldn’t be that big a deal, […]

After watching both of his wards, Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, secure commanding wins at Crown Jewel, Paul Heyman was riding high. Everything went as planned, goofy things happened, and while Jimmy Uso did have to help his uncle secure the win over LA Knight, it was far less egregious than some of his previous […]

Death, taxes, and Roman Reigns retaining his title; some things are truly inevitable. Heading into Crown Jewel, LA Knight said and did all the right things. He shot his shot on the mic, did media rounds, and even kissed a few babies for good measure in the hopes of proving he could be the guy […]

With Crown Jewel less than a day away, LA Knight was afforded one final chance to address the WWE Universe regarding his ultimate underdog story in the pursuit of Roman Reigns’ WWE Championship. And yet, after interrupting the “Tribal Chief’s” entrance during their contract signing, Reigns decided to return the favor on SmackDown, marching down […]

While John Cena goes by a lot of different names as a member of the WWE Universe, from “The Face That Runs the Place,” to the “Doctor of Thuganomics” and even the “Champ,” the moniker utilized most as of late is simply “The GOAT,” aka the greatest of all time. On paper, it makes sense, […]

In 24 hours, LA Knight‘s WWE career will either reach an incredible height the likes of which basically no one has achieved this decade or will join a list of roughly 20 WWE Superstars, many of whom are current or future Hall of Famers, who just couldn’t get past the biggest bad WWE has seen […]

What would “Stone Cold” Steve Austin have been in the WWE Universe without Mr. McMahon? Sure, the “Rattlesnake” was part of some of the biggest matches and feuds in professional wrestling history, with his bouts against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bret Hart, Triple H, and Mick Foley the stuff of legend, but when the totality […]

On the first Saturday in November, LA Knight‘s life could change forever. Finally, after spending the better part of 20 years working his way up from Championship Wrestling from Hollywood to Impact, NWA, and finally SmackDown – with a few stints in NXT sandwiched throughout – Knight not only has a chance to compete for […]

Though he hasn’t wrestled a match since late August and may not even be technically allowed to wrestle for another promotion moving forward, as he may or may not have a non-compete contract with AEW that runs through November, there’s still one question that stubbornly remains in the front of fans minds around the professional […]

It feels like fans have been fantasy booking who will dethrone Roman Reigns as the Universal Champion, from Bryan Danielson to Jey Uso, John Cena, Sami Zayn, and now LA Knight since… well, since he initially won the title all the way back in August of 2020 at Payback. Now granted, Reigns has grown considerably […]

When news broke that LA Knight and Roman Reigns were not only going to share the ring on a very special FS1 edition of SmackDown coming to fans live from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but were going to open the show, wrestling fans the world over had to know that WWE had something up their sleeves. Now […]

LA Knight might just be the hottest performer in WWE right now. He has the catchphrases, he sells a ton of merch, and as the promotion has pushed him more and more with each passing month, fans are becoming increasingly eager to see his run “legitimized” with some sort of title belt for good measure. […]

After getting into it in the ring with Roman Reigns and his Bloodline and then getting into it on the mic with Roman Reigns in subsequent weeks, it would make sense if LA Knight didn’t have much left to say heading into his contract signing and subsequent match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at […]

After the seeds were planted for a potential match between LA Knight and Roman Reigns in the main event of Crown Jewel on the previous edition of SmackDown, who but Paul Heyman decided to open up the Friday night show with a bang, delivering a sort of, State of the Bloodline to the fans at […]

Chris Jericho is a man very familiar with the concept of Mount Rushmores. One of the most prolific performers of the past 30 years, Jericho deserves consideration for more than a few top four lists based on the famous landmark in South Dakota – or the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla faction featuring Kevin Steen, Adam Cole, […]

Randy Orton’s return to WWE is right around the corner, with some reports saying he’ll be back for Survivor Series next month. It’s been well over a year since we’ve last seen Orton in a WWE ring after dealing with a serious back injury, a health issue so bad fans thought maybe he’d have to […]

After securing a huge win over The Bloodline at Fastlane, John Cena had to know he was going to be interrupted in the opening segment of SmackDown, right? I mean, the “Head of the Table,” Roman Reigns was in attendance, and as Michael Cole and Corey Graves pointed out on commentary, he likely wasn’t too […]

Paul Heyman is recognized as one of the greatest managers in the history of professional wrestling. Behind the scenes, he’s a genius when it comes to storytelling. On-screen, he’s one of the most prominent characters who isn’t an actual WWE wrestler. Over the years,  Heyman has managed some of wrestling’s biggest names. Brock Lesnar, CM […]

For what feels like a month straight, Cody Rhodes attempted to talk to the WWE Universe about his decision to help Jey Uso make his way onto RAW and what it could mean for the future. While Rhodes didn’t get too far in his conversing, as getting interrupted in this particular conversation has become something […]

Despite officially jumping ship from SmackDown to RAW after a totally-not-Kayfabe few weeks spent on the alumni section of the WWE roster page, Jey Uso remains one of the hottest factional free agents on the Red Brand, with The Judgment Day and Sami Zayn vying for his allegiance heading into the fall. On paper, sticking […]
