You’ve gotta give it to the WWE – there’s never a shortage of news to read, write, and consume. Case and point, July 22nd, 2022; a day that will live on forever in the annals of wrestling history and may ultimately serve as an inflection point in the history of the sport(s entertainment). Not only […]

As you may or may not have read earlier this afternoon, Brock Lesnar has reportedly walked out of SmackDown after a meeting informed the talent that Vince McMahon had officially retired from the WWE amid an ever-expanding series of scandals. This, obviously, isn’t good, but hey, Lesnar probably just wants to let off some steam […]

Hot on the heels of the sudden announcement of Vince McMahon‘s retirement, a big-named WWE Superstar has reportedly vacated the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts before tonight’s SmackDown. That’s right, despite still being prominently advertised on the company’s website as ‘Returning to SmackDown’ – at least at the time of publication –  Brock Lesnar will […]

After weeks of anticipation, Logan Paul and The Miz finally had their face-to-face encounter on WWE‘s RAW, and the results were downright… fruity. That’s right, after Paul made it abundantly clear that he wasn’t going to tag with Miz moving forward in the pursuit of the Undisputed Tag Team Championships after the “Awesome One” double-crossed […]

Becky Lynch wants her WWE belt back, and she doesn’t care who knows it. Ever since she lost the RAW Women’s Championship all the way back at WrestleMania 38, Lynch has been devising ways to get in the ring with Bianca Belair with the belt on the line and though it hasn’t always worked out […]

When Randy Orton went down with a potentially career-threatening injury, it prematurely put to bed indefinitely one of the hottest tag teams in the entire WWE Universe, RK-Bro. While Riddle has attempted to keep his head above water and focused on bouts against Roman Reigns on SmackDown, a half dozen of his peers in the […]

As the WWE inches closer and closer to their biggest show of the summer, SummerSlam, matches for their Big Four Premium Live Event are going to be announced with increasing frequency. Angles will be set up on RAW, on SmackDown, and even potentially on NXT 2.0, and the storylines for each will grow increasingly more […]

When John Cena isn’t playing the Peacemaker, appearing in commercials, or making his way back to the WWE Universe for events like the Cena Celebration on RAW, he does normal things like you, me, and everyone else. He cooks dinner, watches TV, and when he feels up to it, relentlessly posts memes on his must-follow […]

As you may or may not have noticed, Bayley has been gone from WWE for quite some time, having suffered a torn ACL in the lead-up to Money in the Bank 2021. Though the last name-less superstar has still remained a fixture of the WWE Universe, with the occasional appearance on the company’s television programming […]

The Street Profits have been one of the best tag teams in the WWE for a very, very, very long time. Since initially debuting all the way back in 2016, when Montez Ford was then known as Kenneth Crawford, the duo have gone on to wrestle together on 403 occasions in every city imaginable as […]

For one reason or another, matches between The Usos and The Street Profits just can’t get a clean ending in the WWE Universe. At Money in the Bank, Jimmy and Jay secured the W despite failing to keep both of Montez Ford’s shoulders on the mat, and a few weeks later in Orlando, the Profits […]

The build to WWE‘s SummerSlam has been interesting. Riding high off of the momentum of a very successful Money in the Bank, folks were excited to see how the card would shake out and which new, fun, or exciting matches would be booked for the big-time show in Nashville, Tennessee. The Usos will wrestle The […]

Logan Paul and The Miz are on very different wavelengths in the WWE. Paul thinks Miz is a snake in the grass, a clout vulture, and public enemy number one when he makes his way to WWE to begin his career in the promotion. And as for The Miz? Well, he thinks Paul is a […]

Normally, WWE superstar Brock Lesnar isn’t a man of many words. He’s more of an ‘actions do the talking’ sort of guy, and has no problem solving his disputes with his fists, his legs, and a few F5s for good measure over a complex series of negotiations. So, when It was his time to address […]

When Logan Paul took to the WWE ring at WrestleMania, few expected to see anything special from the social media influencer. Sure, he has athletic experience, including three boxing bouts on Pay-Per-View, but hitting dudes for real doesn’t necessarily translate to hitting frog splashes off the top rope in the middle of a ring, as […]

Gunther is one of the most domineering forces in the WWE Universe. He can chop down a tree with his palm strikes, toss foes out of the ring with a release german suplexes, and can powerbomb a bigger performer through the ring with his incredibly explosive upper body strength. As a result, Gunther really doesn’t […]

At WWE‘s Money in the Bank, The Street Profits gave The Usos everything they had. They Angelo Dawkins hit top rope suicidas, Montez Ford connected on a frog splash, and yet, at every turn, Jimmy and Jay had a counter lined up to stop their long-time does in their tracks. Near-falls were counted, the crowd […]

Just when you thought that this week’s edition of SmackDown couldn’t be any more must-watch, as it presents the first chance for Vince McMahon to put himself on WWE television in a riotous attempt to counter-program against his most recent allegations of impropriety, the promotion – which is still having its on-screen/in-ring product booked by […]

On a day marked by wall-to-wall controversy the likes of which would seemingly tank any other head of a major, multi-national organization, Vince McMahon is reportedly keeping his head down and his sights set on the next major WWE premium live event, SummerSlam. Though the show should be able to ride the momentum set by […]

Pat McAfee doesn’t like Happy Corbin. He doesn’t like him as a wrestler, doesn’t like him in the ring, and basically doesn’t even like being in the same WWE Universe as Corbin, which is saying a lot, because McAfee seems to absolutely love being a part of WWE Universe. When Corbin fails, McAfee laughs. When […]

With Money in the Bank officially in the rearview, the WWE Universe is looking to reset following a number of pretty notable changes. Bobby Lashley is the new United States Champion, Theory is the new Men’s Money in the Bank briefcase holder, and after winning the women’s edition of the show’s namesake match earlier in […]

Conventional wisdom would suggest that with the green and gold briefcase now in his possession, Theory would turn his sights away from the United States Championship he lost at Money in the Bank in favor of targeting the biggest prize in the promotion today: The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Well, if the first segment of […]

When it was announced during the Money in the Bank broadcast that Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar were going to wrestle in a “Last Man Standing Match” at SummerSlam, it drew mixed reactions across the WWE Universe. On one hand, the prospects of seeing yet another Reigns-Lesnar match wasn’t exactly met with a ton of […]

After spending over half a decade in the WWE system, Liv Morgan has officially won her first championship with the company. That’s right, despite having found great success in both NXT and on the main roster as part of the Riott Squad and as a solo performer, Morgan has never secured any sort of championship […]

If you were planning on attending WWE‘s biggest show of the summer, the fittingly named SummerSlam, to explicitly catch the next in-ring appearance of John Cena you might want to sit down, as “The Champ” reportedly isn’t going to be on the card, let alone wrestling a match at the event. Yes, you read that […]

If what Tyson Fury said is true, his next fight after knocking out Dillian Whyte on Saturday would not be in the boxing ring. Instead, it could very well be in WWE at the SummerSlam. In his post-fight presser, the Gypsy King shared that people should not rule him out from participating in the said […]

John Cena recently made his triumphant WWE return, but now he’s saying goodbye again for the time being after losing to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam over the weekend. The good news is Cena doesn’t appear to be saying goodbye to WWE for good: Words cannot describe how appreciative I am that the @WWEUniverse allowed me […]

In a week of pro wrestling superstar returns, SummerSlam ended with Brock Lesnar rising from the ashes like a great phoenix to stare Roman Reigns in the face. And, ugh, that was it. It was not exactly CM Punk showing up to AEW Rampage on Friday; though that bar of craziness was near impossible to […]
