While it shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise that Paul “Triple H” Levesque didn’t book Dwayne Johnson to appear at the 2023 Royal Rumble, as it was reported weeks out that the first-ballot WWE Hall of Famer didn’t feel he could get in the physical shape needed to fully commit himself to the […]

Joel Embiid made waves all around the NBA after he was hit with a $25,000 fine for his now-infamous in-game celebration. The Philadelphia 76ers superstar channeled his inner WWE fan by hitting the “Suck It” celebration during the Sixers’ win against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. For his trouble, the league decided to slap him […]

WWE has a problem when it comes to D-Generation X. Now sure, the faction is as over as ever, with Paul “Triple” Levesque and Shawn Michaels becoming all the more popular because of their roles as the bookers of RAW/SmackDown and NXT, respectively but whenever the faction tried to reunite on television, they have to […]

After less than six months away, Vince McMahon is officially back in WWE, and seemingly everyone has an opinion on the matter. Fans worry about whether or not the veteran promoter will snatch back the book from his son-in-law Paul “Triple H” Levesque, current wrestlers worry that he will sell the company to the Saudi […]

It’s (almost) here, it’s (almost) here; after weeks of anticipation, fans of AEW will finally find out whether or not Saraya, the former two-time WWE Divas Champion, is able to pull some Monè out of her hat and bank on adding another marketable star to the women’s division. While the excitement surrounding the match has […]

Folks, it’s official: Vince McMahon has un-retired from the WWE and is returning to his former spot as the Executive Chairman of the company’s board. …but what exactly does that mean? Will Vinny Mac be back on the headset in Gorilla barking orders to Michael Cole and reprimanding him any time he calls a “sports […]

It’s hard to imagine WWE without Kevin Owens. Sure, the “Prizefighter” hasn’t held championship gold in quite some time, since July of 2017 to be exact, but from his feud with Ezekiel to his on-again, off-again war with Sami Zayn, it’s clear the well-traveled veteran is a flexible talent capable of working up and down […]

When news broke that Emma, known as Tenille Dashwood in Impact Wrestling, was returning to WWE after half a decade away, was a pleasant surprise. Sure, after watching the likes of Dakota Kai, Karrion Kross, and the hints of Bray Wyatt make their way back into the WWE Universe, bringing back a performer like Emma, […]

There was a time when WWE was an island – performers would magically appear out of nowhere when they were signed, would disappear just as magically when they were no longer needed, and had no lives outside of the business, save appearances on shows like Total Divas, or Total Bellas. Effectively serving as action figures […]

When Athena, then known as Ember Moon, returned to NXT after suffering an ankle injury on the main roster, it looked like she was going to be in-store for a serious in-ring relaunch. Though her main-roster run wasn’t without its highlights, Athena’s best in-ring run in the greater WWE Universe came under the watchful eye […]

While WWE has made a point out of re-signing a number of the wrestlers they fired during the pandemic and beyond, with Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s Infinity Gauntlet now looking like a suit of armor, there were a few notable names who either weren’t rehired – like Wesley Blake or EC3 – or can’t be […]

Folks, it’s (basically) official: after roughly seven months of will-they, won’t-they, it sure sounds like Sasha Banks will be making her professional wrestling re-debut outside of WWE at Wrestle Kingdom 17, when she debuts for New Japan Pro Wrestling under another name, be it Mercedes Mone’ or Mercedes Varnado. But why? Why is WWE really […]

Though William Regal is technically still an employee of AEW, and will be at least until “the end of the month,” when Tony Khan officially terminates his contract and opens the door for a return to WWE, according to a report from PWInsider, the deal has already been struck, with the “Gentleman Villian” set to […]

When Triple H took control of WWE creative midway through the year, fans expected significant changes from the King of Kings. Fans were ecstatic to learn that the mastermind behind NXT would oversee the entire main roster. Since Triple H took over, we’ve seen a decent amount of returns from wrestlers who previously got released. […]

Though it technically isn’t official just yet, and likely won’t be until “The Gentleman Villian” graces a television – for some promotion – all signs point to William Regal, the former NXT GM turned leader of the Blackpool Combat Club jumping ship from AEW back to WWE, with some suggesting that he could be back […]

When videos emerged online of 57-year-old “Stone Cold” Steve Austin working out, fans assumed it meant one thing and one thing only: WWE had struck up a deal to bring “The Texas Rattlesnake” back for a second final match. The minds of fans began to race, “who would be the next opponent? Would it be […]

Folks, it’s official: Chris Jericho of AEW is The Bride on Fox’s The Masked Singer. …what? But… but how? How can “The Ocho” be on Fox at 8 pm Eastern singing in a giant dinosaur/dragon costume with a wedding dress over top when he was also working a match alongside Sammy Guevara, Claudio Castagnoli, and […]

When “Stone Cold” Steve Austin took the ring at WrestleMania 38 for an episode of The K.O. Show, WWE fans weren’t sure what to expect from “The Rattlesnake.” Though the segment wasn’t officially billed as a match, it was the final segment of a stacked WrestleMania card that included Vince McMahon’s return to in-ring action, […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over primary booking duties for WWE from his father-in-law, Vince McMahon, it turned Vincent M. McMahon’s company into the wild, wild west. Sure, some acts would be elevated, with Bayley returning at SummerSlam with Dakota Kai and IYO SKY to form the team eventually nicknamed Damage CTRL, while others, […]

Tyrese Haliburton is a professional basketball player. Initially drafted by the Sacramento Kings in the lottery of the 2020 NBA Draft, the Iowa State product was traded to the Indiana Pacers in a controversial move for Damontas Sabonis back in February of 2022 and has since gone on to become the featured player of Rick […]

As the WWE Universe gears up for Crown Jewel, Mercedes Varnado, aka Sasha Banks, has dropped a major bit of news on her Instagram story that could generate a good bit of hype, even if it presents more questions than answers. Read what Varnado had to say on the subject below via a transcription from […]

Though some are still desperately hoping to see the return of “The Bruiserweight,” Pete Dunne, now wrestling as a diminutive bulldog of the Brawling Brutes, Butch, is loving his current run in the WWE. Sure, he isn’t wrestling singles classics against the likes of Tyler Bate, WALTER, or Trent Seven anymore as he used to […]

After weeks and weeks of radio silence, where every tweet, rumor, and word spoken on commentary was heavily scrutinized, Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer has released a bold, definitive piece of reporting on his website, suggesting that AEW and CM Punk are nearing a contract buyout, with the lone hold up coming from the […]

Though nothing in the WWE Universe is ever truly over, especially when someone like Bray Wyatt is involved, it’s hard to imagine fans turning on the former Universal Champion any time soon, especially after the incredible combination scavenger hunt/roller coaster ride that brought him back to the promotion as part of the now-infamous White Rabbit […]

After having to keep the peace while his DX buddies Shawn Michaels, Road Dogg, and X-Pac ran wild around the RAW backstage area, Paul “Triple H” Levesque was likely expecting to have a quiet night at the office, if you will, when WWE brought the show to New Orleans for a special running of SmackDown. […]

Shawn Michaels is the best one of the best wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots; he’s won 14 WWE championships, took part in two of the best matches in WrestleMania history with his series against The Undertaker in 2009 and 2010, and was part of one of the most prolific factions in […]

When the promotion-proclaimed “season premiere” of SmackDown opened up with Paul “Triple H” Levesque in the middle of the ring, it felt like something consequential was about to happen. Would the 14-time champion discuss his plans for the future, call out a current star, or maybe even debut a new one? None of the above, […]

Paul “Triple H” Levesque loves specticle. He booked Logan Paul in the main event of WWE’s Crown Jewel, scheduled a very interesting press conference in Las Vegas to hype up the proceedings MMA Style, booked Bad Bunny for an exemplary match at WrestleMania 37, and even leaned into the supremacy of The Bloodline since taking […]

Bobby Fish hasn’t been a member of AEW in almost a month; he hasn’t wrestled in a match since defeating Blake Li on AEW Dark Elevation, hasn’t been in a televised match since he lost to Darby Allin on Rampage in June, and hasn’t been a part of a relevant storyline since Kyle O’Reilly and […]

Paul “Triple H” Levesque is one of the most respected wrestlers in WWE history. Sure, some will look down on his dagger-visioned desire to do whatever it takes to get over and for burying other stars who could have been huge in the process, but the numbers don’t lie, and as his Twitter account clearly […]

For a time, Ricochet was one of the best-kept secrets in WWE. While he would appear on television first on RAW and then on SmackDown following his elevation from NXT, Ricochet was a much more impressive feature of the house show circuit, where the well-traveled veteran performer would routinely put on incredible matches against the […]

NBA veteran Dwight Howard hasn’t yet called it a career. Although he’s currently a free agent, Howard clearly has his next opportunity just waiting for him. After attending a WWE tryout in July, president Triple H, a legend of the sport, has essentially left the door open for the big man to become a member […]

In an announcement that few saw coming but everyone unconsciously needed, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has made a change to Survivor Series, the WWE “Premium Live Event” that features bouts between Superstars on RAW and SmackDown. After years of steadily losing its luster following the increased frequency by which stars cross promotions to compete in […]

After slowly but surely watching the buildup for the better part of a week both online and on SmackDown, Dave Meltzer’s reporting has been vindicated, as WWE has officially set the table for Roman Reigns to face off against Logan Paul at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 5th.

When Braun Strowman was released from WWE in June of 2021, he made a bold declaration to the professional wrestling world, as passed along by Wrestling Inc: I’ve said it time and time again: the day I take my wrestling boots off for WWE is the day I stop wrestling. I will not wrestle for […]

Karrion Kross never wanted to leave WWE. He left Impact on bad terms to pursue a chance to wrestle for the promotion, wrestled exactly one match in MLW before being offered his return contract, and fully embraced everything that comes with being a WWE superstar, from moving to Orlando to join NXT to forgo his […]

Once upon a time, when an NXT star would jump to the main roster, on even RAW or SmackDown, it was far from a guarantee that the WWE Universe would welcome their addition. No, not because they were too small, or because fans wouldn’t “believe them” as a professional wrestler as Vince McMahon would often […]
