Heading into the fallout edition of RAW following the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber, few performers were as confident as Edge. Recording his first “Premium Live Event” victory since September of 2022 at Clash at the Castle, “The Rated-R Superstar” cut promo after promo on why he was the perfect man to unseat Austin Theory to […]

After making his triumphant to the ring at the Royal Rumble, Johnny Gargano is gearing up for his first-ever trip to the WWE Elimination Chamber. He won his way into the match, flew up to Canada, where he initially debuted on RAW, and is missing his son Quill’s first birthday in the hopes of bringing […]

With the Elimination Chamber rapidly approaching, fans have been going through the participants in the men’s edition of the show’s namesake match in order to peg a potential winner. Will Austin Theory go the distance and keep his strap? Or will his long-time rival Seth “Freakin’” Rollin begin his third reign as the United States […]

When it was announced that Seth “Freakin’” Rollins and Austin Theory would close out the first televised episode of WWE programming with a match for the WWE United States Championship, it felt like a massive deal. The duo were working the match across the WWE Holiday Tour circuit, albeit in a cage match, and even […]

Though Bobby Lashley may still technically be a member of the WWE Universe, as his firing from The Fed was reversed by Adam Pearce, presumably at the behest of Paul “Triple H” Levesque, “The Almighty One” isn’t exactly the biggest concern for current United States Champion Austin Theory at the moment. No, that honor belongs […]

When Bobby Lashley, fresh off losing his match to Seth Rollins due to referee unavailability in the main event of RAW, laid hands on two officials and then Adam Pearce on his way to the back, folks assumed that it would have some sort of ramifications on the greater WWE Universe, but who expected to […]

Bobby Lashley hasn’t been the same since he lost his United States Championship to Seth Rollins on the October 10th edition of WWE RAW. Since then, Lashley’s gotten into fights with Brock Lesnar after losing a match at Crown Jewel, gotten into fights with Rollins and Austin Theory in various unscheduled segments that ultimately led […]

Heading into RAW, Mustafa Ali really wanted a chance to compete for the WWE United States Championship. He cut a filmed promo for Twitter where he detailed just how much the title would mean for him, including allusions to his time in High School during 9/11 and his time as a police officer in Chicago, […]

“I have a message that is much bigger than my dreams in pro wrestling. Despite my best efforts, I will not be able to deliver this message while working with WWE. Therefore, I am requesting my release from WWE.” – these words, tweeted out by Mustafa Ali on January 16th, 2022, serve as a stark […]

When Austin Theory ran out with his Money in the Bank Briefcase during the final segment of WWE RAW broadcast live from beautiful Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, it changed the course of his WWE run and of WWE’s briefcase-housed open contract forever. For the fans in attendance, and even watching from home, history was literally unfolding […]

Solo Sikoa is a company man. Though he may be the “enforcer” of The Bloodline and the toughest dude in the faction, save maybe Roman Reigns, he would never challenge the rule of his cousin like his older brother Jey did at the beginning of the “Head of the Table” storyline. Now granted, maybe one […]

On July 2nd, 2022, Bobby Lashley won the United States Championship at WWE’s Money in the Bank “Premium Live Event,” making Austin Theory the youngest loser in the title’s 19-year history. Though he liked to pride himself on being a “fighting champion,” Lashley’s third reign with the strap included just five title defenses during the […]

WWE’s Clash at the Castle was a tight show. Kicking off at 1 pm ET and running until right around 4, the show had six matches and zero title changes but still felt like a worthy use of an afternoon, especially for Comcast subscribers who get Peacock for free. Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY […]

Heading into Monday’s edition of RAW, the entire WWE Universe had their collective eyes fixed on one match and one match alone: Ciampa vs. Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship. In the eyes of many, the momentum was firmly in the corner of the “Blackhearted” former NXT Champion, as he was coming off of […]

Don’t-call-him-Tommaso Ciampa might just be the hottest wrestler in the entire WWE Universe. He’s turned a weird initial run and a seemingly-ill-fated partnership with The Miz into a money angle that’s been drawing praise from across the industry, has delivered promo after promo that each would be the best of a lesser performer’s career, and […]

Tommaso Ciampa‘s run in WWE has been weird. For one thing, he’s lost his name, with Tommaso being cut for a new, more streamlined title, and while he hasn’t been asked to shave his beard or, like, wear a gladiator costume, many of the elements of Ciampa’s NXT presentation, from being a wise babyface, to […]

As things presently stand, Bobby Lashley is WWE‘s United States Champion. Now granted, that could change as soon as SummerSlam, as he has a rematch booked with Theory for the red, white, and blue belt and may ultimately see his reign capped off at 28 days, for now, “The Almighty One” is the champion, and […]

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 […]

For some reason, Theory, the United States Champion of WWE, decided he wanted to test his mettle against “The Almighty” Bobby Lashley in the wrestling ring. Okay, technically it was in a wrestling ring, but he didn’t want to actually wrestle against the former WWE champion. No, for some reason, Theory wanted to go up […]

You’ve heard of fighting champions, but how about a posing champion? Well, if you happen to be a fan WWE RAW, specifically since Theory defeated Finn Balor for the United States Championship back in April, you’ve fast become familiar with the term and likely have an opinion one way or another on the topic. Since […]

John Cena will return to the WWE on June 27th’s episode of Monday Night RAW in Laredo, Texas. It will be Cena’s 20th year anniversary since he has been with the WWE. The announcement was revealed on Monday, during Monday Night RAW. Cena confined the news moments later on Twitter. Been far too long and […]
