When The Rock returned to the WWE Universe, it was as a babyface. Sure, technically he made a public declaration that he might want to sit at the “Head of the Table,” a spot typically reserved for his cousin, the “Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns, but babyfaces declare that they want to wrestle for a top […]

When Will Ospreay marched down the ramp to his song “Elevate” at Full Gear to announce to the fans in the Kia Forum and beyond that he was signing with AEW, it felt like a massive loss for Triple H and WWE, who were also pursuing the multi-time IWGP Champion. Now granted, if there’s any […]

As Ronda Rousey makes the rounds inside and out of the professional wrestling world to help promote her new book “Our Fight,” the “Baddest Woman on the Planet” has made some pretty staggering revelations about her journey through the professional wrestling/MMA world, from her feeling about Vince McMahon to the bombshell that she worked at […]

Over his 20 years in the WWE Universe, Paul Heyman has seen an incredible number of wrestlers come into the promotion, learn how WWE does business, and either sink or swim based on their in-ring work, their booking, and, most importantly of all, their gimmick. That’s right, while some performers enter the promotion with a […]

For the longest time, it seemed like the biggest obstacle preventing CM Punk from returning to WWE was one person and one person alone: Vince McMahon. Sure, Punk burned a few other bridges on his way out of the door too, as he had to bend fences with Paul “Triple H” Levesque on his way […]

While the professional wrestling world was going wild over CM Punk‘s comments on the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani regarding the two biggest promoters in the world today, Vince McMahon and Tony Khan, comparing the former to Chris Benoit while pointing out that the latter is simply incapable of running a successful wrestling company, the […]

As you may or may not have noticed, WWE’s on-screen product has looked fairly different since Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over creative control of the promotion. For one thing, the rapid and unrelenting camera cuts of Kevin Dunn have become a thing of the past, and in their place, a new, more sports-orientated presentation […]

If there’s anyone who deserves a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame, it’s Paul Heyman. A Hall of Fame-caliber manager, creative, announcer and booker, who would probably deserve a spot in the annals of WWE history for his time in ECW alone, Heyman has consistently found ways to keep himself relevant for decades and […]

When Nick Aldis wrestled Cody Rhodes at All In in 2018, the professional wrestling industry was in a very different place. For one thing, there was no AEW, with the company coming into existence in large part because of the Chicago-based show, and at the time, Aldis and Rhodes were feuding over the NWA World […]

After spending years in an unusual heel character that bypasses her signature nickname, her usual presentation, and her fan-favorite babyface ways for a leaner, meaner, more angular heel character, “The Man” Becky Lynch is officially back in the WWE Universe, and that decision in large part belongs to Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the current CCO […]

As the WWE Universe eagerly anticipates the new memoir from Becky Lynch, she isn’t the only former WrestleMania headliner with a book on the way designed to give fans an inside look at the inner workings of professional wrestling, as a work from Ronda Rousey will be hitting bookshelves soon and it’s not some less […]

Less than a week after Corey Graves made headlines for celebrating WWE’s new creative direction at the commentary table, with announcers being afforded much wider lanes from which to do their magic, Michael Cole, the promotion’s lead announcer and Vice President of Announcing, weighed in on his Premium Live Event booth mate’s take in a […]

When Corey Graves began calling matches following the end of his in-ring career, the WWE Universe was in a very, very, very different place. John Cena was still an active wrestler, Roman Reigns wasn’t over as the heel-ish “Head of the Table,” and Vince McMahon, then still considered a hero in the eyes of many, […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced that Paul Heyman was his first and likely most prominant member of the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame class a few hours before Monday Night RAW, it felt both incredibly logical but also very exciting. A true legend of the Philadelphia wrestling scene for his time turning ECW into […]

When news broke that Indi Hartwell was going to wrestle for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships alongside Candice LeRae against the Kabuki Warriors on the Elimination Chamber pre-show, fans felt increasingly bad for “Big” Bronson Reed, who found himself the lone major Australian main roster star without a spot on the Perth-based show. Well, […]

Despite being the featured performer of the last few weeks within the WWE Universe, dominating headlines and television time whenever he showed up, The Rock will not be heading to the Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia, leaving the show with just four matches and no presence from The Bloodline. … or will he? Speaking with […]

If there’s one member of the active WWE roster with a clear connection to Vince McMahon, it’s Randy Orton. Now sure, some will point to Roman Reigns being Mr. McMahon’s chosen champion for the better part of a decade, with the “Billion Dollar Booker” giving him chance after chance after chance at the top of […]

When Johnny Gargano‘s run in NXT came to an end at the culmination of his contract, fans wondered where the leader of The Way would wrestle next. Would he stick around in WWE, returning to the promotion for another run in NXT or a spot on the main roster on RAW or SmackDown? Or would […]

As seemingly everyone in the professional wrestling world weighs in on the allegations against Vince McMahon, most of them former Superstars but a few current ones too, the consensus appears to be a rather obvious one: Mr. McMahon should never be allowed to work in the business ever again. On paper, it makes sense, right? […]

After getting into it backstage with The Rock and Roman Reigns following a very contentious backstage interaction at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff event, Paul “Triple H” Levesque decided to bring his services to SmackDown for a very important announcement to start off the show. But what would he say? Would he announce another main event […]

One year ago, Sami Zayn was on top of the WWE Universe.

After learning about Vince McMahon’s resignation from WWE following the filing of a lawsuit by former employee Janel Grant, fans, wrestlers, and media members alike all flocked to the Royal Rumble press conference either in person or online to see what Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE’s CCO, had to say about one of the biggest […]

After establishing himself in college as one of the most promising athletes in amateur wrestling as a member of the Minnesota Gophers, Shelton Benjamin was snatched up quickly by WWE in the hopes of finding a Kurt Angle for the 21st Century. On paper, it makes sense, right? Benjamin, like his college teammate, Brock Lesnar, […]

When WWE announced that a dozen or so performers were released from the promotion back in September, it left more questions than answers, especially for Superstars like Dana Brooke and Mustafa Ali, who were booked for an appearance at NXT  No Mercy later that week. Was this truly about budget cuts? Or did WWE simply […]

When news broke that Logan Paul was on the lookout to challenge Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, it spelled very bad news for the legacy leader of the LWO. Sure, Paul hasn’t exactly had the best 2023 of anyone in the WWE Universe, losing every match he […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced to the WWE Universe that Windham Rotunda, the Superstar widely known to fans as Bray Wyatt, had unexpectedly passed away at the way-too-young age of 36, it left folks shocked. Sure, it was fairly widely known that Wyatt had been dealing with an illness for quite some time, leading […]

With the biggest professional wrestling show of all time, AEW All In, rapidly approaching, MJF sat down for a special one-on-one interview with Renee Paquette on Dynamite to discuss his plans for the show, his future, and his friendship with Adam Cole, which isn’t a work, he promises. Asked how he feels heading into the […]

When Sami Zayn got in the ring with Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber in his home-ish town of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he knew he was putting it all on the line. If he won, he would secure the biggest heist in WWE history, which, considering Reigns’ history with that phrase, is saying something, and […]

When WWE announced that there would be a Slim Jim Battle Royal at SummerSlam, it felt like a perfect opportunity to put over LA Knight after turning himself from undesirable to undeniable, to borrow a phrase from Cody Rhodes. Sure, WWE could have swerved things up and delivered fans another crushing blow like the end […]

After the initial shock of Roman Reigns’ SummerSlam victory wore off, fans in Ford Field and beyond could at least lean back on the fact that, after weeks and weeks of chanting, social media posting, and tee-shirt purchasing, LA Knight finally secured his first big win as a member of the WWE Universe by being […]

In the summer of 2022, August 5th, 2022, to be exact, Karrion Kross and Scarlett made their triumphant return to WWE following a surprising return to the indies mere months removed from a dominant, 136-day reign as the NXT Champion. Since that fateful day, the “Herald Of Doomsday” has wrestled 16 televised matches, going 7-9 […]

Seth Rollins is WWE’s premier fighting champion. Since securing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Rollins has taken on seemingly all challengers who have dropped his name on television, besting Damian Priest in an open challenge, plowing through Bron Breakker in a hard-fought contest back in NXT at […]

After making a massive, massive return at Money in the Bank a few hours south of his hometown of Ayr, Scotland, Drew McIntyre has had Gunther shaking in his wrestling boots, with the “Scottish Warrior” seemingly knowing the “Ring General’s” every move before he does and having an answer for every one of Imperium’s schemes, […]

After two successful televised title defenses in the month of June alone, a grueling schedule by WWE standards, Seth Rollins found his most difficult challenge yet at Money in the Bank, where he finally threw down with Finn Balor with a world title on the line – albeit the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, not the […]

No matter how you slice it, Money in the Bank at the O2 Arena in London was a slam dunk for WWE. Per the man himself, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the show was the most financially successful arena Premium Live Event in the promotion’s history, the SmackDown the night before was the most financially successful […]

Though he was never officially announced for the card, the 80,000 fans packed into SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California waited with bated breath to see if their namesake hometown hero, LA Knight, would make his surprise debut at WWE’s biggest show of the year, and provide the sort of pop that only the “Megastar” can […]

Who is the most over Superstar in the WWE Universe? Is it Roman Reigns? Seth Rollins? Cody Rhodes?

[…]

After spending the better part of his adult life in a professional wrestling ring for WCW, WWE, TNA, and his own Reality of Wrestling, two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has found a new way to contribute to the business as a commentator at NXT, where his unique take on the sport and his […]

Before there was LA Knight, at least on the main roster, there was Max Dupri, the brother of future Alpha Academy member Maxxine, and the manager of the Maximum Male Models, a faction that may or may not still exist in WWE. The character was more creepy than charismatic, his catchphrases were more about “juices” […]
