At the 2023 Royal Rumble, Liv Morgan nearly made history when she outlasted 28 other women as the second entrant to come one elimination away from punching her ticket to WrestleMania 39. Does Morgan hold her loss against Rhea Ripley, the “The Eradicator” of The Judgement Day who’s priming for a big-time match with Charlotte […]

After schooling LA Knight both on the mic and in the ring on SmackDown, New Day, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, decided to keep up the fun on the SmackDown Lowdown, telling Megan Morant, and hopefully, the man formerly known to the WWE Universe as Max Dupri, that no one deserves a WrestleMania moment. “You […]

Drew McIntyre hasn’t been a champion in WWE since February of 2021, or, as most of his fans would put it, is too darn long. He’s challenged for titles, mind you, the most prolific of which came at Clash at the Castle on his home Isle of Wales, but for as long as Roman Reigns […]

Whether you like hin or not, the first SmackDown after the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber might as well have been subtitled “The Dominik Mysterio Edition,” because the third-generation luchador was all over the show, cutting into a touching segment between his father Rey and Santos Escobar, the man he almost views like a father, fighting […]

Sami Zayn, without question, is the hottest talent in the WWE at the moment. Over nine months after first pleading his case to be of help to Tribal Chief Roman Reigns and the Bloodline, Zayn’s stock went soaring through the roof after he refused to attack a defenseless Kevin Owens with a steel chair during […]

We are now officially just a little over a month away from WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood.

After landing a DQ loss at the 2023 Elimination Chamber for hitting Bobby Lashley where the sun doesn’t shine, Brock Lesnar’s path to the “Showcase of the Immortals,” WrestleMania 39, is anything but clear. Sure, GUNTHER remains borderline desperate for a match with “The Beast Incarnate,” but there’s a chance he ends up in a […]

With Sami Zayn officially out of the way after dropping a genuinely disappointing match to Roman Reigns at the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber, Cody Rhodes is the last line of defense standing between “The Tribal Chief” and 1,000 days as champion. Walking down to the ring in order to cut one of his much-anticipated promos, […]

There was a lot of the line heading into the 2023 edition of the WWE Elimination Chamber. For one thing, the match is one of the more grueling across WWE’s slate of gimmick matches, effectively affording the winner some serious bragging right moving forward but more importantly, securing the dub also punched a ticket to […]

Though the WWE Universe currently has all eyes on the Elimination Chamber in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Cody Rhodes still has his eyes on WrestleMania 39, as he’s one of only two WWE Superstars with a guaranteed main event spot on the “Show of Shows.” Sitting down for an interview with Ariel Helwani about WrestleMania 39, […]

After working the fine folks of Montreal into a borderline riot during the final segment of SmackDown with a profanity-laced promo, Sami Zayn is gearing up for the match of his life, when he will take on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of the 2023 Elimination Chamber. If […]

Though her match with Shotzi, Ronda Rousey, and Shayna Baszler didn’t go as planned, Natalya’s return to Canada for the go-home show before the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber was still a resounding success, as the crowd cheered her on like the ultimate hometown hero… well, the second-most ultimate hometown here behind Sami Zayn, who closed […]

One of those feuds is against GUNTHER, the […]

As the WWE fans were preparing to change the channel during a Baron Corbin interview, who but Sami Zayn emerged from the crowd to demand an audience with Cody Rhodes on RAW. When “The American Nightmare” emerged from the back, greeting Zayn with his signature greeting, “so what do you want to talk about?” everyone’s […]

As Cody Rhodes continues his one-man media tour ahead of his match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, it was only a matter of time before the second-generation WWE Superstar brought up John Cena, the defining superstar of the last generation who effectively handed off the baton to the “Tribal Chief” over the past half-decade. […]

At this point, Roman Reigns’ legacy as one of the greatest champions in WWE history is more or less cemented, right? He’s held the Universal title for longer than anyone else, with his current reign nearly 700 days longer than any other wrestler in history, according to Cagematch, and his 26 successful defenses becoming more […]

Though he lost his qualifier match for a spot in the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber to Montez Ford, Elias still has high hopes for the “Show of Shows.” Speaking with WWE – Die Woche, Elias discussed some of his dream matches for WrestleMania 39 before calling out the current Intercontinental Champion, GUNTHER. “Listen, I could […]

Since winning Money in the Bank in 2022, Liv Morgan has become more and more extreme within the WWE Universe with each passing month.

In case you’ve been living under a rock or simply haven’t been paying attention to the entirety of WWE television, you already know that Seth Rollins really doesn’t like Logan Paul.  He doesn’t like the way he got into the business, really doesn’t like that he eliminated him from the 2023 Royal Rumble, and just […]

On paper, it makes sense that Cody Rhodes is a big fan of Paul Heyman. Both spearheaded alternatives to WWE that capitalized on being the “cool” promotion at the time, both have a deep, near-encyclopedic knowledge of the professional wrestling business, and both are scheduled to appear in the main event of WrestleMania 39, with […]

GUNTHER is in the middle of a moment in the WWE Universe. He’s the Intercontinental Champion, the first to hold the belt for over 240 days since Shelton Benjamin accomplished the feat all the way back in 2004-05, and after going the distance and setting the record for the most time in a Royal Rumble […]

Though WrestleMania 39 is still almost two months away, that hasn’t stopped Cody Rhodes from going on a bit of a media tour to help promote his main event spot with Roman Reigns, and after six months on the shelf, “The American Nightmare” has a lot to say. Want WWE to bring back the Winged […]

The Road to WrestleMania is in full swing. After the Royal Rumble, we have a good idea of what’s to come over the next few months.

After finally taking care of Sonya Deville in their SmackDown-broadcasted rematch for the WWE SmackDown Women”s Championship, Megan Morant caught up with Charlotte Flair to see how she felt about Rhea Ripley declaring her intentions to wrestle the second-generation star at WrestleMania 39. Fortunately, Flair was down to talk but not before she shouted out […]

After avoiding a question about Logan Paul from Cathy Kelley on RAW, Seth Rollins finally addressed the man who eliminated him at the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble, and needless to say, he didn’t have many nice things to say about the social media star-turned-WWE superstar. Taking to IG Live to answer questions from fans, Rollins […]

When the wrestling world learned that Mandy Rose, the then NXT Women’s Champion of over one year, was being let go by WWE for positing salacious pictures on her FanTime page against the company’s wishes, it quite literally took the professional wrestling world by storm. Say what you will about Rose’s in-ring efforts and prospects […]

Though his best days in the ring have long since past, there’s something truly special about seeing “Stone Cold” Steve Austin in a professional wrestling ring, especially when he’s actually working a match a la his bout against Kevin Owens on the first night of WrestleMania 38. Sure, he needs to wear massive knee braces […]

Though she didn’t make an appearance on the first edition of RAW post-Royal Rumble, Bianca Belair sent in a video package to the fine folks at WWE to let the rest of the women in the locker room know that she’s ready to take on any challenger who’s willing to put in the work. “Now, […]

Despite entering the Royal Rumble at spot number one after taking a beating at the hands of Beth Phoenix before the match even began, Rhea Ripley went the distance, set a new record for the longest time alive in the match’s history, and ultimately won the whole darn thing with a one-two elimination of Asuka […]

While it shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise that Paul “Triple H” Levesque didn’t book Dwayne Johnson to appear at the 2023 Royal Rumble, as it was reported weeks out that the first-ballot WWE Hall of Famer didn’t feel he could get in the physical shape needed to fully commit himself to the […]

When Rey Mysterio’s music hit at spot 17, fans were over the moon to see one of the best luchadors in the history of the sport pull off his usual high-flying antics in one of his signature events. After going the distance from spot two to set the record for the longest time in a […]

Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE at the end of Raw is 30 this past Monday. Brock Lesnar’s return on Raw was not the most shocking thing ever. Lesnar hadn’t wrestled a match since he beat Bobbly Lashey at Crown Jewel in October, so he was due to come back eventually. Plus, with the […]

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s career is in the middle of a very interesting spot at the moment. On paper, he remains one of the hottest names in, well, basically all entertainment, as he starred in a major motion picture, sold an absolute ton of his signature tequila, and just generally dominated all things social media […]

When Cody Rhodes made his triumphant return to WWE at WrestleMania 38, it was truly a magical moment. Sure, basically everyone knew “The American Nightmare” was going to be Seth Rollins’ mystery opponent, as the reports of his signing were almost as prominent as those of his exit from AEW, but when “The American Nightmare” […]

Kurt Angle is a wrestling legend for more reasons than one; he’s an Olympic gold medalist, a WWE Hall of Famer, and a nine-time champion in TNA/Impact Wrestling with more than 1,500 matches to his name. But could Angle have added the phrase “AEW star” to that list of accolades? Once upon a time, that […]
