When it comes to female wrestlers in WWE, there is Rhea Ripley, and then there’s everyone else. The “Eradicator” of the Judgment Day with 34 straight singles victories in 2023 alone, Ripley doesn’t just defeat opponents in the ring; she dominates them with wicked efficiency, with the vast majority of those defenses coming in under […]

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 […]

As Edge prepares to decide on what he wants to do next in his professional wrestling career, be that retirement, a return to WWE, or a jump to AEW, the “Rated-R Superstar” stopped by the Brotherly Love podcast to discuss his career, his injury history, and, most interestingly of all, his match with Mick Foley […]

When looking back at Bray Wyatt‘s professional wrestling career, one of the true highlights was his career has to be his interaction with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at WrestleMania 32, where the duo exchanged words on the mic before “The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment” squashed Eric Rowen in six seconds in what is […]

Kurt Angle looks pretty darn good for 54. Now granted, maybe that’s because he’s more or less had the same look for his entire run in professional wrestling, and in 2023, wrestlers like Sting are continuing to work regularly into their 60s, but even now, four years after his last match, Angle still gets asked […]

When LA Knight debuted on SmackDown as LA Knight last fall, waving goodbye to Max Dupri and all of the juices he titillated, fans wondered what to expect from the fast-talking, kavorka-exuding, “Yeah!” saying WWE Superstar. Sure, to fans of the promotion who also dabble in the indie product – or at least NXT – […]

Sami Zayn has pretty much reached the pinnacle – lowercase p – of professional wrestling at this point in his career. Sure, he hasn’t won “the big one” in WWE, having to grapple with the realization that he may never be “the chosen guy” in the top promotion in the world as a result, but […]

WrestleMania 40 tickets went on sale this past week, and already the response has been nothing but spectacular. As of last Friday, the official start date of ticket sales after a few presales throughout the week, WWE had sold more than 90,000 tickets, as per Darren Rovell. That’s an absolutely astonishing number and one that […]

After being one of the most consistently utilized performers on the WWE Universe in 2022, becoming the youngest United States Champion in the promotion’s history and even winning the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder match despite not even being booked for the match heading into the show, Austin Theory has sort of fallen off […]

When Cody Rhodes came up short in the main event of WrestleMania 39, it served as an inflection point in his professional wrestling career. After spending months hyping up the match, talking to seemingly anyone with a microphone about past, present, and hopefully future, the “American Nightmare” saw his night end with a whimper, not […]

When Sami Zayn got into the ring opposite Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he effectively put everything on the line. If he won, he’d have gotten quite possibly the biggest pop of all time, won the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, and, most importantly of all, have ended Roman Reigns’ reign […]

Though nothing has officially been made official one way or another, it would appear Ronda Rousey‘s second run in WWE has officially come to an end, with the “Baddest Woman in the Planet” dropping the match and her moniker to fellow UFC alumni Shayna Basler who is already using her newfound status as a concurring […]

When Cody Rhodes took the ring for the main event of WrestleMania 39, there was a lot on the line. With three-straight slaps to the mat, Rhodes could secure the belt his father never won, end Roman Reigns‘ Undisputed World Heavyweight  Championship reign before it hit 1,000 days, and secure one of the biggest, if […]

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 […]

Though Kevin Owens only signed with WWE in 2014, the “Prizefighter” has been on an absolute tear, wrestling 897 matches across NXT, RAW, SmackDown, house shows, and Premium Live Events while spending 683 days as a title around his waist, 188 with the Universal Champion, 143 with the NXT Championship, 132 with the Intercontinental Championship, […]

If there’s on thing Paul Heyman is good at, it’s backstage politicking. Sure, the “Wise Man” of The Bloodline is a fantastic talker, a wonderful matchmaker, and one of the best minds professional wrestling has ever seen, but when you want to get a guy over, or at least get them featured prominently on WWE’s […]

Who is the GOAT of WWE? Is it the longest-reigning world champion in the promotion’s history, Bruno Sammartino? How about the man who turned the WWF from a regional promotion to the world leader in sports entertainment, Hulk Hogan? Could it be the greatest character Vince McMahon and company ever came up with, the Undertaker? […]

Though it may not often seem like it, Drew McIntyre actually has a great deal of respect for Gunther. Two members of the Intercontinental Championship fraternity, a group that features 184 different title reigns since the belt was introduced in 1979, including three by the strap’s lone female holder, Chyna, Gunther has helped to elevate […]

With 1,926 professional wrestling matches and counting on his resume, 1532 in WWE, 394 in AEW, and other promotions around the world, Cody Rhodes has wrestled almost every top-tier professional wrestler on the planet right now.

When Cody Rhodes came up short versus Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, the 80,000-plus fans at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, were at a loss for words. Now sure, some fans were stoked on the continued dominance of the “Tribal Chief,” with more than a few shouting out “We the 1s” as they exited the […]

Gunther is just 48 days away from being the longest-tenured Intercontinental Champion in WWE history. Since winning the strap on June 10th, 2022, Gunther has successfully defended his title on 12 occasions, put down some of the best performers the WWE roster has to offer, and has established Imperium as one of the most imposing […]

Though it feels like he’s been using it forever, Seth Rollins only debuted the song “Visionary” at WrestleMania 37, ditching “The Rising” from his Monday Night Messiah days and “The Second Coming,” which came before it. Initially, the song was met with a positive response, as fans liked that it began with “Burn it Down” […]

Though he may have a, shall we say, prickly exterior, in his heart, Grayson Waller is kind, even generous. When Logan Paul landed himself a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, Waller offered him up a seat on The Grayson Waller Effect to discuss his intentions in London. When Edge returned to […]

For the first third of the 2023 calendar year, there wasn’t a hotter feud in the WWE Universe than Seth Rollins versus Logan Paul – which, considering the strength of the feuds over the period of time for Sami Zayn, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes is freakin’ saying something. Despite being a certified company man […]

While discussing why Brock Lesnar beat the absolute bricks off of Cody Rhodes on the RAW after WrestleMania 39, Wade Barrett revealed that according to his reporting, the “Beast Incarnate” took considerable offense with wrestling first on Day 2 of the Showcase of the Immortals while the “American Nightmare” squandered his shot at the Undisputed […]

After taking part in arguably the most important match of his professional wrestling career in the match dubbed The Bloodline Civil War by WWE, Solo Sikoa took to his Facebook page – a page that technically still uses his old indie moniker, Sefa Fatu – to celebrate what he felt was his version of a […]

If there’s anyone who knows a thing or two about creating drama, it’s Michael Cole. The longest-tenured commentator in WWE by a country mile, Cole has been instrumental in calling some of the most important matches in the promotion’s history, with his ability to give words to the drama occurring in the ring becoming an […]

After a stop-start effort in the tag team division –  winning the Women’s Tag Team Fatal Fourway at WrestleMania, taking some time off, winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles, unifying the tag team titles, and then losing the tag team titles to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez – Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey have […]

By pinning Roman Reigns for the first time this decade – literally – at Money in the Bank, The Usos effectively secured the first major win in The Bloodline Civil War, an escalating conflict that came to a head at the O2 Arena in London. Despite being offered the world, singles gold, his name in […]

After recording an increasingly strange win over Dominik Mysterio in the fourth match at Money in the Bank, Cody Rhodes decided to hit the shows, put back on his suit, and take part in a special interview with Ariel Helwani as part of BT Sport’s coverage of Money in the Bank. Now granted, did Rhodes […]

After watching Cody Rhodes work a rather pointless match with Dominik Mysterio at Money in the Bank, the WWE Universe was afforded an absolute treat when John Cena, the face of the last era of WWE made an unannounced cameo in London to hype up the crowd. But why? What was Cena there to do? […]

After being firmly stuck in the WWE mid-card for years – literally – following his brutal shoulder injury at SummerSlam in 2016, having to vacate his Universal Championship the next day to Seth Rollins on RAW, Finn Balor is back to doing what he does best: working heel. The unofficial leader of The Judgment Day […]

In a company where some wrestlers go their entire career without having a WrestleMania moment, let alone one in the main event of the “Showcase of the Immortals,” Kevin Owens has the rare privilege of having two, as he was able to wrestle “Stone Cold” Steve Austin in 2022 and followed it up with another […]

On Saturday in London, Becky Lynch has the potential to check one of the few items left off of her WWE career goals list and officially become the winner of the Money in the Bank Ladder match, securing the open contract that comes inside the white and gold briefcase, too. And yet, even if Lynch […]

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 […]

When it comes to professional wrestling, few Superstars, regardless of age, gender, or employer, have had as much success in the ring as Becky Lynch. Once known simply as “The Man” for being the top performer in WWE, Lynch has been a part of seven different championship reigns since landing in WWE in 2013 and […]

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, for better or worse, will forever be linked in the WWE Universe. Though they took different paths to The Fed, with the former working the indies and Ring of Honor as Tyler Black whereas the latter was born into the business as the son of a Wild Samoan, when the […]

Though Cameron Grimes has only been a member of the WWE main roster for about a month, joining SmackDown with the final televised pick in the 2023 WWE Draft, fans of the Blue Brand have already begun to fall in love with the “The Carolina Caveman” for his quirky personality, his Cave In finisher, and […]

Bayley has a lot of enemies in WWE. An OG Four Horsewoman who has been in the proverbial trenches for a decade and counting, the “Role Model” has feuded with Becky Lynch, Sahsa Banks, Bianca Belair, and pretty much every other major babyface star WWE has to offer, but when her career comes to an […]
