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 […]

With SummerSlam officially on the books and the Royal Rumble already being advertised for in January, fans have already begun to fire up their fantasy booking machines to determine the best possible way for Cody Rhodes to finish his story against the greatest champion since WWF became WWE, Roman Reigns. Will Paul “Triple H” Levesque […]

With Brock Lesnar officially in his rearview mirror, Cody Rhodes now has one thing and one thing only on his mind alone: #CompletingTheStory by dethroned Roman Reigns.

Fans have been pining to see an Anoi’i family throwdown between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Roman Reigns for literally years. From WrestleMania 37, which didn’t have fans due to Covid, to WrestleMania 38, which took place in the very not Dwane “The Rock” Johnson city of Tampa Bay, to WrestleMania 39 in the very […]

As Roman Reigns has continued his historic run as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, many have wondered if he would ever come toe-to-toe with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. According to The Rock himself, a clash with Reigns was more realistic than fans could’ve expected. In fact, The Rock said that him facing off against Reigns […]

August 30th officially marked three years since Roman Reigns defeated “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt to become the Universal Champion at Payback 2020.

WrestleMania 40 tickets went on sale this past week, and already the response has been nothing but spectacular. As of last Friday, the official start date of ticket sales after a few presales throughout the week, WWE had sold more than 90,000 tickets, as per Darren Rovell. That’s an absolutely astonishing number and one that […]

When Cody Rhodes was selected as a member of the RAW roster during the 2023 WWE Draft, fans wondered what it could mean for his aspirations to be the man that finally unseats Roman Reigns as both the “Head of the Table” but also as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Would Rhodes be jumping from […]

When Sami Zayn offered up his services to Roman Reigns on an otherwise random episode of SmackDown in 2022, few WWE fans expected it to be the sort of near-year-long storytelling device that would elevate the “Underdog from the Underground” into the main event picture and give fans flashbacks to Daniel Bryan’s “Yes!” movement. Why […]

When Cody Rhodes came up short in the main event of WrestleMania 39, it served as an inflection point in his professional wrestling career. After spending months hyping up the match, talking to seemingly anyone with a microphone about past, present, and hopefully future, the “American Nightmare” saw his night end with a whimper, not […]

When Kurt Angle called into question Paul Heyman‘s assertion that The Bloodline’s story was only in its third inning, Roman Reigns’ official “Wise Man” fired back, letting the WWE Hall of Famer know on Twitter that “no matter what inning we’re in, at least we’re not looking for exposure thru the next Old Timer’s Day.” […]

When Sami Zayn got in the ring with Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber in his home-ish town of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he knew he was putting it all on the line. If he won, he would secure the biggest heist in WWE history, which, considering Reigns’ history with that phrase, is saying something, and […]

For the first few months of the 2023 calendar year, especially before the 2023 Royal Rumble, it looked like Sami Zayn was going to be the guy in WWE. He had the on-mic skills, was a walking catchphrase, and was feuding with arguably the most over act in the entire promotion in The Bloodline, who […]

When Roman Reigns took the ring against Jey Uso in the main event of SummerSlam, fans packed themselves into their seats for what was destined to be a long, hard-hitting match. The keyword in that sentence? Long. Wrestling for over 40 minutes in a match that featured interference spot after interference spot, Reigns retained his […]

When Cody Rhodes returned from injury at the 2023 Royal Rumble, it added a very big fish to a pond that was already feeling increasingly small. Suddenly, Rhodes secured a guaranteed main event title shot at WrestleMania 39, a decision made easy considering Roman Reigns already held both of WWE’s world championships, and after over […]

After watching quite possibly the wildest end to one of his matches yet, when Jimmy Uso pulled his twin brother Jey Uso out of the ring just before he was ready to secure his second pin-fall victory over the “Tribal Chief” in as many months – this time with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on […]

When Austin Theory landed a feud with John Cena heading into WrestleMania 39, it felt like a make-or-break moment for the once and current United States Champion. Sure, Theory had some respectable title matches before taking the ring for the opening match of Day 1 of WrestleMania 39, with wins over Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, […]

After cutting one heck of a promo on The Miz during a rare appearance on RAW to authentically introduce himself to the WWE Universe as the hard-working, babyface hero capable of making good on their cheers and merch purchases, LA Knight stopped by RAW TALK to keep the party going with Byron Saxton. While LA […]

What the WWE has done with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline storyline has been nothing short of remarkable. Between Reigns and his family members in Jey and Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa and his wise man Paul Heyman, they’ve made WWE television engaging for three years now with this long term storyline. But all good things […]

What do Johnny Cash and LA Knight have in common? Well, besides enjoying blue jeans, the duo have been everywhere, man. From television commercials to social media videos, extra spots in WWE workout videos, and even some less-than-rewatchable moments like wrestling as El Hijo del Trump down in Mexico, the “Megastar” did a lot to […]

When Cody Rhodes took the ring against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, it had the potential to be something special.

Roman Reigns has been the WWE Universal Champion for 1,073 days and counting, with 492 of those days coming as a double-champion with the OG WWE Championship also around his waist. How many times, you may wonder, has Reigns defended his title since securing the strap at Payback in August of 2020? 30, or once […]

If there is anyone who knows a thing or two about the art of professional wrestling, it’s Paul Heyman. A veteran performer who has been working in the business in one form or another since the 1980s, Heyman once again helped push his client, Roman Reigns, to a victory in his first singles match since […]

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before; WWE built up a seemingly can’t-miss babyface with all of the momentum behind him who would definitely be the performer that unseated Roman Reigns as the “Head of the Table.” On paper, they had everything, right? Momentum, a personal history with the former “Big Dog,” key wins […]

Though he probably should have been preparing for his first-ever singles match against his younger brother, the “Street Champ” Solo Sikoa, after listening to Paul Heyman run his mouth on his typical foolishness, Jey Uso had heard enough and decided to march down to the ring at the top of SmackDown‘s second hour to really […]

After weeks and weeks of anticpation, WWE’s SummerSlam is finally here.

When Cody Rhodes took the ring for the main event of WrestleMania 39, there was a lot on the line.

With their match against Jey Uso rapidly approaching the Motor City for SummerSlam, Roman Reigns and his “Wise Man,” Paul Heyman, stopped by ESPN’s First Take to talk turkey with noted WWE superfan Stephen A.

Seth Rollins is not a WWE performer without enemies.
