Heading into WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes was not a fan of Roman Reigns. He hated the “Tribal Chief” for calling on help during their Mania match the year prior, disliked how The Rock tried to steal his main event despite winning the Royal Rumble, and really didn’t like how the “Final Boss” talked about his […]

Cody Rhodes has experienced a ton over his professional wrestling career.

When it comes to professional wrestling, few women are as important to the fabric of WWE as Trish Stratus and Stephanie McMahon, the seven-time WWE Women’s Champion, and “Billion Dollar Princess” who played massive roles in redefining what girls can do in the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. So, when the former was being […]

When Cody Rhodes seemingly handed off his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship opportunity to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson right after winning the 2024 Royal Rumble, it turned heads around the professional wrestling industry.

When Cody Rhodes took the ring for a contract signing with Logan Paul on the penultimate SmackDown before King and Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia, his side of the ring was noticeably bare when compared to the certified entourage the “Maverick” brought to the ring. Now granted, Rhodes probably shouldn’t have been too […]

The Undertaker has been part of dozens and dozens of different angles across his professional wrestling career.

When you think of all-time great WrestleMania performers, you think of The Undertaker, Roman Reigns, Bret Hart, and… Sami Zayn?

When Drew McIntyre opted to leave RAW literal seconds before CM Punk showed up to confront him at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, it sent WWE’s “Straight Edged Superstar” into an absolute frenzy.

Grayson Waller is not a fan of the UK. Need proof?

Over the past few months, Ronda Rousey has been on a mission to discuss her true feelings about WWE, much of which are not very good at all, but did you know there were members of WWE who weren’t particularly excited about the “Baddest Woman on the Planet” working in WWE either, and not just […]

For the longest time, there was a rumor that The Undertaker and CM Punk did not get along. Why did this rumor come about?

After weeks, nay, months of curious updates regarding Drew McIntyre‘s status in WWE, with the “Scottish Warrior” reportedly working his WrestleMania 40 match without a contract extension on the books, it would appear that CM Punk’s number one hater won’t be going anywhere any time soon, all thanks to… Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson? That’s right, […]

When The Shield’s music hit at WrestleMania 40, fans around the world thought one thing and one thing only: holy crap, Jon Moxley was back in WWE to help Cody Rhodes defeat Roman Reigns? Now sure, Moxley is one of the top performers in AEW right now and was gearing up for a massive match […]

After having an Undisputed WWE Universal Champion who appeared on television about once a month, give or take, Cody Rhodes has been working his tail off as the new top performer in the WWE Universe, with the “American Nightmare” appearing on both RAW and SmackDown – even if it’s only been to cut promos and […]

After watching Drew McIntyre take a seat in the middle of the ring to cut another brutal, anti-CM Punk promo on Monday Night RAW, one of the “Scottish Warrior’s” best friends in the WWE locker room, Sheamus, marched down to the ring to get his good friend to take a deep breath, acknowledge his shortcomings […]

Heading into WrestleMania 39, it felt like the universe had perfectly aligned for Cody Rhodes to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

Cody Rhodes is the biggest babyface in the WWE Universe. A natural hero for leaving AEW behind to return to the Fed – plus, you know, his red, white, and blue presentation – Rhodes has battled beasts, put down foreign foes, and ultimately unseated the “Tribal Chief” in the pursuit of finishing the story his […]

As crazy as it may sound, Jade Cargill, the former AEW TBS Champion with a 50-match win streak and a focal point of WrestleMania 40, is still one of the least experienced wrestlers on television today, with just three years since her first-ever professional wrestling match. And who, you may recall, was also in that […]

When it comes to WrestleMania 40, one of the most anticipated matches on the loaded two-night card was The Usos Civil War between Rikishi’s sons, Jimmy and Jey Uso. It made sense, right?

[…]

Though he may no longer be the manager of the top performer in the WWE Universe, with Roman Reigns losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40 and Solo Sikoa seemingly starting a coup by swapping out Jimmy Uso for Tama Tonga in The Bloodline, Paul Heyman is still riding high based off of […]

When Rhea Ripley took the stage at WrestleMania 40, she looked like the most confident woman in the world.

When it comes to members of the WWE Universe, few performers, at least from a Kayfabe perspective, have as big of an issue with Logan Paul as Kevin Owens, the “Prized Fighter” who has been feuding with the “Maverick” for pretty much the entirety of 2024 thus far. KO doesn’t like how often Paul shows […]

Though Dustin Rhodes didn’t make an appearance for WWE during his brother’s massive match with Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40, the eldest son of Dusty Rhodes was still in South Philadelphia on Saturday and Sunday Night in South Philadelphia, rooting for his brother just like he did during their […]
