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” […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

In the beautiful tradition known as Lucha Libre, there isn’t a higher honor a father can bestow on their child than giving them the family wrestling moniker.

In professional wrestling, like in all other sports, most fans don’t know the name of a referee unless they do something very good or something very bad – just ask former WWE stalwart Earl Hebner.

When Pat McAfee signed a new, long-term contract to take his eponymous show to ESPN, it left many fans in the professional wrestling world wondering if WWE had seen the last of the do-it-all pundit/commentator/wrestler.

WrestleMania 40 is still almost a year away, but that doesn’t mean WWE can’t start planning which matches will main event their biggest show of the year. On Night 1 of WrestleMania 39, we saw Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens defeat The Usos to win the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships. On Night 2 of […]
