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.

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.

In professional wrestling, few performers have the pedigree of “The Hitman” Bret Hart – or Bret “The Hitman” Hart, if you will.

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 […]

Heading into WrestleMania 39, one of the biggest controversies surrounding “The Showcase of the Immortals” involved who would main event Night 1, Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship or Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens versus The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship belt.
