With a Last Man Standing match officially booked for Fastlane against “The King of Strong Style,” Shinsuke Nakamura, Seth Rollins was booked for a very special segment on RAW with Michael Cole to discuss why on earth he’s willing to subject himself to such physical punishment when he has so much life left to live. […]

After going back and forth with Shinsuke Nakamura over the conditions of a Payback rematch with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line, Seth Rollins decided to put his proverbial foot down on the “King of Strong Style” and let it be known that he is getting tired of playing games. Standing in the […]

Though Gunther remains the Intercontinental Champion after securing a crucial win over Chad Gable earlier this month on RAW, fans, pundits, and WWE Hall of Famers alike are already starting to fantasy book what the “Ring General” will look like when he’s freed up to be a hunter instead of being tasked with all challengers […]

After securing a massive win over Shinsuke Nakamura in the main event of Payback in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Seth Rollins found himself attacked once more, with the “King of Strong Style” continuing his assault on the WWE World Heavyweight Champion via repeated blows to his already broken back. What gives? Was Nakamura simply a sore loser? […]

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. Sure, as things presently stand, Rollins and Cena are both Babyfaces, and most recently […]

After being jumped backstage and beaten down by the “King of Strong Style,” Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet, and his fiance, Samantha Irvin, stopped by The Bump to discuss their relationship, their favorite songs – and anime – and most importantly of all, what the heck is going on with the former IWGP World Champion. Now, to […]

Despite securing a decisive win over Shinsuke Nakamura at Payback, Seth Rollins, the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, is pining for a rematch with the “King of Strong Style,” likely because the former IWGP World Champion decided to attack him after the bell in Pittsburgh and beat the proverbial bricks off of the “Visionary.” After […]

When Cody Rhodes stepped in the ring with a torn pec at Hell in a Cell at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, in 2022, the “American Nightmare” had to know that something magical was about to happen. On paper, the match had everything going for it: drama, suspense, intrigue, and the very real chance […]

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 […]

In the lead-up to his main event match with Shinsuke Nakamura at Payback, Seth Rollins told Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick on After The Bell that getting into the ring with the former NXT World Champion was a “dream match” of his, as he was a huge fan of the “King of Strong Style” dating […]

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. Nakamura, once considered one of the best wrestlers in the world, hasn’t been […]

It’s here, it’s finally here; after four long weeks of waiting, WWE has another Premium Live Event for fans to enjoy in Payback, the first PLE to come to Pittsburgh since Extreme Rules in 2018.

Less than one month after the biggest party of the summer, WWE Superstars who believe they got over the short end of the stick at SummerSlam now have a chance to get themselves some payback at, well, Payback, WWE’s first Premium Live Event to be broadcasted from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania since Extreme Rules in 2018. With […]

Despite asking for his release, founding the first legitimate challenger brand in nearly 20 years, and even having an exorcism to rid himself of the demons of his past, at his heart, Cody Rhodes has always been a WWE guy. A second-generation wrestler who has a father in the Hall of Fame and a brother […]

Seth Rollins is a performer who, as the oldheads would say, knows a thing or two about drawing money. In his decade in WWE and time on the indies before it, Rollins has headlined shows all over the world, become one of Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s go-to house show main eventers, and has been a […]

After weeks of back-and-forth beatings, intense posturing, and more than a few surprise beatdowns at the hands of the “King of Strong Style,” Seth Rollins was afforded one final chance to address the WWE Universe before his match with Shinsuke Nakamura at Payback; a match not just for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship but potentially […]

As SmackDown rapidly approaches, WWE fans the world over are preparing for the sort of all-encompassing tribute show that will all but surely push all previous plans aside in favor of celebrating the life and career of Bray Wyatt. Matches will be wrestled, likely with tributes to Wyatt and fellow fallen former Superstar Terry Funk, […]

LA Knight is on a certified roll in the WWE Universe. In less than a year on the main roster, at least under his current moniker, the “Megastar” has gone from undesirable to undeniable, to paraphrase Cody Rhodes, getting booked against some of the biggest stars in the promotion and becoming the sort of performer […]

After fans finally found out what Shinsuke Nakamura said to Seth Rollins during their confrontation on the previous edition of RAW – that the “King of Strongstyle” knew about his injured back – Seth Rollins stopped by the backstage area just before the main event match between The Judgment Day and Kevin Owens and Sami […]

After listening to Michael Cole try – and fail – to ask Shinsuke Nakamura about why nailed Seth Rollins with a Kinshasa in the closing moments of the fallout edition of RAW after SummerSlam, the “Visionary” made his way down to the ring to address his former friend-turned-sudden foe in order to see if he […]

Things have changed a lot for Seth Rollins over the past few years within the WWE Universe and outside of it; he’s turned heel, had a baby, cycled through about a half dozen different monikers, and became WWE’s reigning “Drip King,” at last on the male side of the roster. Stopping by GQ to talk […]

When Seth Rollins calls himself WWE’s Workhorse Champion, he isn’t kidding. Since winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in May of 2023, the “Visionary” has wrestled 25 matches, nine of which were broadcast on television or on a Premium Live Event, and kept his title reign alive despite drawing the eye of all four members […]

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 […]

After finally securing his clean WWE win over Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, Cody Rhodes decided to celebrate his efforts, dedication, and unending will to become a babyface champion in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he kicked off a commercial-free hour of RAW with one of his patented promos. But first, in true Rhodes fashion, the “American Nightmare” […]

Though the match between Seth Rollins and Finn Balor technically began when the bell rang, as wrestling matches tend to do, the match didn’t really begin until much later, when Señor Money in the Bank, Damian Priest, made his way down to ringside with his green and gold briefcase in-hand. Sure, Balor could have secured […]

Theoretically, when Cody Rhodes returned to WWE from AEW, he would have had less control over his character, right? Like, as an EVP in WWE’s first true challenger since WCW, Rhodes had a ton of say over what he did and didn’t want to do, with this creative disconnect with Tony Khan likely playing into […]

After weeks and weeks of anticpation, WWE’s SummerSlam is finally here. Soon fans will find out who will be able too call themselves the “Tribal Chief” who will hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and who will be the champion of Slim Jim and earn a shot at Austin Theory’s United States Championship. And the […]

Though they’ve only shared the screen for a few moments in 2023, there is, was, and seemingly will forever be tension brewing under the surface between Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes at the top of the RAW roster. On paper, it makes sense, right? Rollins knocked Rhodes out of action for six months in the […]

In August of 2022, Seth Rollins is on top of the world, or at least on the top of the WWE Universe. He’s the proud holder of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, main events shows all over the world whether they’re televised or not, and is about to take part in a choice match at […]

After weeks and weeks of anticipation featuring matches on RAW, beatdowns in NXT, and a successful title defense at Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins will finally get his third and potentially final singles match of the year against Finn Balor at SummerSlam in Detroit, Michigan on August 5th. Soon fans will see if the […]

Who runs the game in the WWE Universe? Well, if you ask the man born Shaun Ricker, he’ll tell you it’s none other than LA Knight, the character he’s been playing since making the leap to the WWE main roster, but does he? Does he really? While fans would desperately like for that to be […]

When Cody Rhodes returned to WWE, it was to wrestle Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 38. On paper, the pairing was perfect; Rhodes has desperately wanted to be an old-school Hulk Hogan-style babyface for years now, and he was tasked with standing opposite a man so comically committed to being a villain he would routinely rip […]

While Seth Rollins has been a professional wrestling fan for as long as he can remember, getting into the sport at the tender age of 18 and grinding his way to the very tippy top of the industry, for the kid from Davenport, Iowa, there’s another athlete he looked up to as a child that […]

Though his status in the WWE Universe remains incredibly up in the air, as, despite getting into it with Grayson Waller, there appears to be no tentative plans for a storyline, let alone a match any time soon, that hasn’t stopped Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson from using his expansive resources to give back to entertainers […]

While promoting his new documentary American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes at its premier in Atlanta, Georgia, Cody Rhodes made headlines when he told Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture that he felt he was competing with Seth Rollins to become the babyface on the RAW roster.

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 […]

Fans can call “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio a lot of things, a nepo baby, a bad wrestler, Rhea Ripley‘s little you-know-what, but now, when talking about the second-generation WWE Superstar, four words have to be affixed to his name: NXT North American Champion. That’s right, after rapidly establishing himself as one of the top heels in […]

During his expansive run as one of the top heels on RAW, Seth Rollins made a ton of enemies; he got in bad with the Mysterios before Dominik turned heel, hurt Cody Rhodes so bad he was out of action for half a year and has even gotten into it with the “Maverick” himself, Logan […]
