With his United States Championship match against Austin Theory officially set to open up the first night of WrestleMania 39, John Cena has returned to the time-worn tradition of doing the media rounds to promote the event, a tradition that’s been perfecting for the better part of 20 years. Do you want to hear his […]

On June 23rd, 2019, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The New Day, Big E and Xavier Woods, at Stomping Grounds. Why, you may ask, is that relevant? Well, because it marked the last time Owens and Zayn shared the ring on WWE programming as friends for the better part of four years, save a […]

When Cody Rhodes opened up SmackDown by walking down to the ring with a microphone in hand, fans knew they were in for a treat, but in an interesting twist of fate that paid off later, this time, “The American Nightmare” didn’t want to solely talk about himself. Sure, Rhodes still did a fair bit […]

For months, the story of Sami Zayn and the Bloodline has been the hottest saga in all of WWE, if not professional wrestling.

When Sami Zayn took the ring against Jimmy Uso in the main event of Monday Night RAW, he did so alone.

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.

Sami Zayn, without question, is the hottest talent in the WWE at the moment.

The decision to book Sami Zayn for a nine-minute match against Baron Corbin didn’t sit well with wrestling journalist extraordinaire Dave Meltzer, as he discussed on Wrestling Observer Radio.

After watching Roman Reigns continue to keep his streak alive in the main event of the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber, Paul “Triple H” Levesque took the mic for a media session to not only talk about how the event went down but to put over some of his Superstars, including one whose match didn’t end […]

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 […]

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 “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 […]

After miraculously reuniting on SmackDown to successfully defend their tag team titles against Ricochet and Braun Strowman, Jimmy and Jey of The Usos were riding high.

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.

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. […]

The main event of WWE WrestleMania is official. Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship will go down as one of the biggest matches in WWE history.

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 […]

After this past weekend, nobody knows what’s next for Sami Zayn and the Bloodline. After Sami Zayn’s shocking betrayal on the Bloodline and Jey Uso walking out on his own family, many questions need answers. What’s next for Sami Zayn? Is Jey Uso done with the Bloodline and going solo? What does this mean for […]

As Sami Zayn learned all too well at the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble, dreams don’t last forever. Sometimes a dream opportunity comes along for a day, sometimes you luck into an unrepeatable result, heck, sometimes you get added to the most popular act in all of professional wrestling and become the most over man in […]

The ending to the Royal Rumble left us all speechless. Sami Zayn made the first move and turned on Roman Reigns and the Bloodline.

Heading into the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble, there were two performers that fans wanted to see win the show’s namesake match: Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn.

Well, this is going to be a rather interesting conundrum for Triple H. The 2023 Royal Rumble went about as expected, for the most part.

But then, something […]

Well, about damn time this happened. WWE fans knew that at some point, Sami Zayn HAD to betray Roman Reigns and the Bloodline at some point.

The brutal main event saw the Head of the Table ravage not only Kevin Owens but also the […]

Roman Reigns is the top performer in WWE for a reason; he’s got a million-dollar body, a personality built for television, and the sort of in-ring abilities that hold up against darn near every single performer across the promotion’s history. So naturally, when Reigns was booked to face off against Kevin Owens at the Royal […]

Sami Zayn wants to be WWE Champion. Now granted, that’s probably not something a member of The Bloodline should say, what with Roman Reigns currently holding the belt, but in a conversation with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Zayn laid out why he’d love to win the Royal Rumble and how he believes nine months […]
