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?

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.

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 […]

After hyping up his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday Night RAW, Seth Rollins was ultimately unable to stop by the former All-Pro punter’s show, likely due to his rib injury at the hands of Finn Balor and his forthcoming WWE World Championship match with Bron Breakker on NXT.

Why did Sami Zayn work so well in The Bloodline? Was it his quick wit in coming up with nicknames like “The Honorary Uce,” and how he was feeling “Ucey?” Or maybe his willingness to be the butt of the joke and look foolish in an earnest attempt to entertain fans? Well, in the opinion […]

For years, fans and non-fans alike have drawn comparisons between what promoters like Eric Bischoff, Paul Heyman, and Vince McMahon – and now Paul “Triple H” Levesque – put on the screen each week and the soap operas that have dominated daytime television since, well, since daytime television became a thing.
