Seth Rollins does not like CM Punk. He’s talked trash on the “Best in the World” when he was still a member of AEW, chastised fans for chanting his name in the lead-up to and fallout from Survivor Series, and even attempted to charge Punker after his WarGames match, even if he was held back […]

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 […]

Professional wrestling is a business. Sure, it can be magical, like CM Punk’s return to WWE at Survivor Series, funny, like Booker T’s time as King Booker, or tragic, like the oh so many performers who passed too soon outside of the ring or even in the ring, but at its core, wrestling is about […]

The final week of November has been anything but drama-free for Seth Rollins.

How does the WWE locker room feel about the return of CM Punk? Well, I guess it depends on who you ask. From watching Seth Rollins curse obscenities at the “Best in the World” next to the WarGames cage during his return, to Drew McIntyre storming out of the area after his match, which may […]

While much of, if not the majority of the WWE Universe was excited to see CM Punk make his surprise return at Survivor Series, one such name that fell into the minority was one of the promotion’s biggest stars, Seth Rollins, who stared angrily at the “Best in the World” before cursing out the returning […]

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 […]

When the opening notes of “Cult of Personality” hit following the finish of the Men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series, it got more than a few fans in and around the WWE Universe hyped as all heck about the return of CM Punk. Suddenly, after being released on his wedding day, signing and being fired […]

Gunther is one of the biggest, baddest champions in the entire WWE Universe.

Since joining WWE in 2011, Corey Graves has seen dozens, if not hundreds, of young Superstars make their way to the Performance Center in the hopes of becoming the next big thing.

Drew McIntyre has been a member of the WWE Universe, at least this go around, since 2017, when he parlayed a revolutionary run on the indies into an impressive run through NXT and a return to the main roster at the Royal Rumble 2019. Since making his fateful return in 2019, McIntyre has won hundreds […]

On paper, Seth Rollins should be at the top of the professional wrestling world; he’s the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, holds the top spot on the PWI Top-500, and at just 38, is at the height of his athletic abilities in the squared-circle.

After listening to Drew McIntyre deliver an impassioned speech about the pain he felt winning the WWE Championship at the Performance Center in 2020 without the exultation of fans cheering him on to victory against the “Beast Incarnate,” Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins marched down to the ring for his tune-up match against JD McDonagh ahead […]

When Seth Rollins and John Cena were announced for a match for Superstar Spectacle as teammates in a non-title – obviously – tag match with the non-Gunther members of Imperium, it turned more than a few heads around the WWE Universe.

Seth Rollins has seen a lot over his decade in the WWE Universe; He’s been at the top of the card, he’s been held off of Premium Live Events, and even had to fight tooth and nail to get a mystery opponent at WrestleMania 38, even if that ultimately worked out in his favor. Over […]

On paper, some could call Seth Rollins‘ match with Shinsuke Nakamura at Payback nothing more than a “bridge match” that keeps the WWE World Heavyweight Champion on television until he’s ready for his next feud on a bigger card in the future.
