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 […]

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. Smith. When asked about what makes him such a good manager in a section of the 10:52 video dubbed “Stephen […]

Seth Rollins is not a WWE performer without enemies. After spending almost a half-decade working heel over various different gimmicks, getting into it with everyone from Rey Mysterio to Cody Rhodes to Matt Riddle during that time frame, Rollins now finds himself no longer in with the bad guys of the WWE Universe either, with […]

After a week of anticipation, fans in the WWE Universe finally got to see Roman Reigns and “Main Event” Jey Uso back in the ring once more to set out the conditions for the third match of their current career, a Tribal Rules match at SummerSlam… but not before the “Tribal Chief” got a little […]

The formation of a new wrestling faction always comes with its fair share of challenges.

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced the christening of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, the title eventually won by Seth Rollins at Night of Champions, the belt was immediately christened the WWE Universe’s new bronze medal by fans, as apparently, Roman Reigns was simply too good to give up either of his titles. The current […]

Seth Rollins became the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. The moment was a long time coming, to say the least.

Though Matt Hardy no longer works for WWE, as he’s been a happy member of the AEW roster since March fo 2020, he still keeps up with the goings-on of his former employer for his podcast, The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, and has absolutely no issue putting over his former co-workers when the situation […]

Who should unseat Roman Reigns as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion? Should it be a performer like Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, or even Kevin Owens, who challenged for the strap in the past? A young upstart like Solo Sikoa or even Bron Breakker who is looking to add an “Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak”-level trophy […]

After watching Jimmy Uso take a relentless beating so callused that he needed to be ambulance away to the nearest hospital, Roman Reigns sat contemplatively in his private locker room in the back of Madison Square Garden, at least until a frantic Paul Heyman ran to his side to inform the “Tribal Chief” of the […]

In a move very few fans saw coming, The Usos started off the first SmackDown of the month of July with their calling of Tribal Court: The Trial of the “Tribal Chief “Roman Reigns. That’s right, after winning what WWE called The Bloodline Civil War in the main event of Money in the Bank at […]

One week removed from his decision to reunite The Usos instead of sticking it out as a singles star with Solo Sikoa, Roman Reigns, and Paul Heyman, Jimmy, and Jey Uso decided to address the WWE Universe in order to explain why they effectively dashed The Bloodline once and for all. After some semantic adjustments, […]

Roman Reigns has been one of the most notable superstars in WWE over the last ten years.

After holding the Intercontinental Championship for 376 days and counting, coming just 78 days short of the Honkytonk Man’s record of 454, it’s only natural for fans and professional wrestling pundits alike to wonder if the time is right for Gunther to step out of the comfort zone and take a shot at one of […]
