With WrestleMania 39 rapidly approaching and his WWE contract set to expire in April, Logan Paul understands that this very well may be his final chance to prove to fans around the world that he’s a legitimate wrestler, not all of the things Seth Rollins has been accusing him of over the past few weeks. […]

After watching Xavier Woods […]

When Rhea Ripley decided to challenge Charlotte Flair, not Bianca Belair, to a match at WrestleMania 39 via her win at The Royal Rumble, it all but guaranteed that “The Est of WWE” would not be headlining either night of “The Showcase of the Immortals.” Fortunately, Belair is still the RAW Women’s Champion, having surpassed […]

With WrestleMania 39 rapidly approaching, everyone has a take on who should win the main event, Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns. Will it be Cody, the infamously second-generation Superstar who wants to win the one belt his father never could and #CompleteTheStory once and for all? Or will it instead be Reigns, the third-generation reigning […]

On paper, Cody Rhodes is about as big of a babyface as there comes within the WWE Universe. He gets one of the biggest pops, sells a ton of shirts, and even has a legion of Little Nightmares who want nothing more than to watch him #CompleteTheStory at WrestleMania 39 in a match against Roman […]

It all comes down to Friday Night Smackdown, WWE fans; if Bray Wyatt shows up and attacks Bobby Lashley before, during, or after the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, the most up-in-the-air match at Mania will be saved, and fans will get to see… whatever a Bray-Bobby match looks like at “The Showcase of […]

With awesome matches in store, such as Roman Reigns taking on Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship and the Usos defending their Tag Team titles against Kevin Owens […]

For the second-straight week, Brock Lesnar looked small sharing the ring with his WrestleMania 39 opponent, Omos. Now granted, this is by design, as the prospects of watching “The Beast Incarnate” suplex a 7-foot-3, 400-plus pound giant would be the sort of spectacle WWE has built WrestleManias on in the past, but that didn’t stop […]

Unfortunately, Mysterio didn’t get to secure a definitive win, […]

On the final RAW before WrestleMania 39, Austin Theory did something smart. After spending basically his entire United States Championship run getting “what?”-ed by fans in pretty much every arena across the country, Theory decided to take advantage of his final opportunity to address the WWE Universe by removing the audience from the equation entirely […]

While Rhea Ripley has been busy as of late accompanying Dominik Mysterio to the ring, discussing her desire to wrestle for the Intercontinental Championship, and just generally serving as the public face of The Judgement Day ahead of a choice spot at WrestleMania 39, one thing “The Eradicator” can’t forget about is the actual task […]

After listening to Edge speak his peace on the pervious edition of RAW, Finn Balor was afforded a chance to talk to the WWE Universe one final time before he takes his talents to WrestleMania 39 for a Hell in the Cell match and needless to say, “The Prince” of The Judgement Day delivered an […]

As Rhea Ripley prepares for arguably the biggest match of her career, one would think she is totally and solely focused on securing the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39, right? I mean, with the match all but certainly set to main event Night 1 of WrestleMania and the SmackDown title on the line, Ripley […]

With WrestleMania 39 rapidly approaching and a trios match alongside Lita and Trish Stratus against the Damage CTRL trio of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY officially on the books – just one match, not her desired two – Becky Lynch took some time to stop by E! News to talk all about the forthcoming […]

Brock Lesnar defeating the Undertaker and ending his WrestleMania win streak is one of the most shocking moments in wrestling history. For 20-plus years, nobody knew if the Undertaker would ever lose at WrestleMania. WWE superstars would attempt to defeat the Undertaker each year but ultimately fail. Nobody expected Lesnar to be the one to […]

WrestleMania in Hollywood is less than a week away, and the excitement levels are through the roof. Both nights of WrestleMania are stacked with excellent matches that fans are ecstatic to see.

After officially signing his contract for WrestleMania 39 before demolishing his former NXT opponent, Butch, on SmackDown, Gunther caught up with Megan Morant of the SmackDown Lowdown to discuss Adam Pearce’s shoddy management of SmackDown over the past few weeks, and needless to say, he hasn’t been too pleased with how things are going. “Well […]

As Becky Lynch prepares for her first-ever trios match at a WrestleMania, working alongside fellow WWE Tag Team Champion Lita and Trish Stratus against the Damage CTRL trio of Bayley, IYO SKY, and Dakota Kai, “The Man” is riding high, so much so that she isn’t just satisfied with one bout at “The Showcase of […]

With WrestleMania 39 officially single digits away, fans have been evaluating the WWE landscape to figure out which matches could fill out the card and which performers could still lock up a “WrestleMania moment” before the show officially goes underway with a Day 1 opening match between John Cena and Austin Theory.

After what felt like a lifetime of will they, won’t they, Rey Mysterio finally put his future into his own hands by knocking his son to the ground with a well-placed fist to the face. Needless to say, the prospect of watching Mysterio fight Mysterio for the first time ever at WrestleMania 39 is about […]

With WrestleMania 39 rapidly approaching, fans have one question on the tip of their tongues heading into April: why isn’t LA Knight booked for “The Showcase of the Immortals?” On paper, Knight is an obvious choice for the show; he’s a top in the ring, a top talent on the mic, and literally billed from […]

When Charlotte Flair took the ring for a pre-WrestleMania 39 promo on SmackDown, the reaction she received from the crowd was classic Charlotte Flair.

With his United States Championship match against Austin Theory officially set to open up the first night of WrestleMania 39, John Cena has returned to the time-worn tradition of doing the media rounds to promote the event, a tradition that’s been perfecting for the better part of 20 years.

After taking care of business on the penultimate edition of SmackDown in a match against LA Knight, Rey Mysterio found himself in a familiar spot, with his son, Dominik Mysterio, coming out to call him a poor father, accusing him of being a deadbeat, and demanding a match at WrestleMania 39. As per usual, the […]

When “Stone Cold” Steve Austin made his triumphant return to the ring at WrestleMania 38 for a match that technically wasn’t announced but was arguably the worst-kept secret in professional wrestling, it sent shockwaves through the professional wrestling world. After nearly 20 years away from the ring following his unannounced retirement match against Dwayne “The […]

With WrestleMania 39 less than two weeks away, WWE should theoretically be using as much of its television programming as possible to hype up matches scheduled for “The Showcase of the Immortals.” It makes sense, right? While the show will undoubtedly be packed and millions will be tuning in from around the world to watch […]

Rhea Ripley is not someone folks typically want to mess with within the WWE Universe. She’s a powerhouse who can slam Luke Gallows, a dominant performer who has won 90 percent of her matches in 2023, and potentially the SmackDown Women’s Champion if she’s able to take care of business against the Charlotte Flair at […]
