Friday Night SmackDown was very, very, very good to the LWO, as not only did Rey Mysterio beat the field to become the second finalist in the United States Championship invitational, but he also watched as his protégé – Santos Escobar, not Dominik Mysterio – secured a win over United States Champion Austin Theory in […]

After securing a win in an incredibly lopsided match against arguably the most talented female performer on the entire WWE roster, IYO SKY, Charlotte Flair was riding high, even if she lost both of her eyelashes in the match thanks to a sneak attack by Asuka. Discussing the match alongside Cathy Kelley, Flair noted that […]

Though she may be the second-most excited member of her household to go to San Diego Comic-Con, that didn’t stop Chelsea Green from stepping out into the spotlight as an official representative for WWE in order to help promote the brand and its new action figure offerings at the biggest geek event of the summer. […]

While promoting his new documentary American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes at its premier in Atlanta, Georgia, Cody Rhodes made headlines when he told Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture that he felt he was competing with Seth Rollins to become the babyface on the RAW roster. Was Rhodes caught up in the moment? Eh, maybe a […]

When Zoey Stark was drafted onto RAW after an interesting tenure in NXT, fans wondered what the future could hold for the 29-year-old Utah native. On one hand, Stark accomplished a lot in NXT, holding the now-defunct NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship with Io Shirai/IYO SKY for 112 days in 2021, but she never won […]

Everywhere Gunther has gone in professional wrestling, he’s made himself into a featured player; he was a star in wXw, a dominant force in Progress, a star in PWG, and the near-unbeatable force in NXT UK, where he held the belt a month short of 900 days before dropping the strap to Ilja Dragunov to […]

Though Shawn Michaels hasn’t wrestled a match since all the way back in 2018 when he and fellow DX member Paul “Triple H” Levesque took part in an ill-conceived bout against the Brothers of Destruction at Crown Jewel 2018, fans have been wondering if the 58-year-old “Heart Break Kid” would ever consider dusting off his […]

Jim Ross has called more wrestling moves than most fans will ever remember. In his extensive career in the professional wrestling business, which now spans six decades, Ross has watched something as simple as a bodyslam going from a finisher that could headline WrestleMania to a maneuver deployed by any greased-up muscle man – or […]

Seth Rollins is not a WWE performer without enemies. After spending almost a half-decade working heel over various different gimmicks, getting into it with everyone from Rey Mysterio to Cody Rhodes to Matt Riddle during that time frame, Rollins now finds himself no longer in with the bad guys of the WWE Universe either, with […]

After a week of anticipation, fans in the WWE Universe finally got to see Roman Reigns and “Main Event” Jey Uso back in the ring once more to set out the conditions for the third match of their current career, a Tribal Rules match at SummerSlam… but not before the “Tribal Chief” got a little […]

With SmackDown coming to fans from Orlando, Florida, Paul “Triple H” Levesque took it upon himself to give fans a preview of what’s to come in the WWE Universe by having young stars like Carmelo Hayes, Wes Lee, the Cavinder Twins, and Tiffany Stratton wave to the crowd watching at home. For Stratton specifically, making […]

Fans can call “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio a lot of things, a nepo baby, a bad wrestler, Rhea Ripley‘s little you-know-what, but now, when talking about the second-generation WWE Superstar, four words have to be affixed to his name: NXT North American Champion. That’s right, after rapidly establishing himself as one of the top heels in […]

For better or worse, Logan Paul is a heel in the WWE Universe. Though he initially tried to stay neutral and was cheered on like a babyface due to his shocking abilities in the ring despite being the least experienced performer on the main roster, Paul has gone on to embrace being booed by audiences […]

After jumping ship from Impact Wrestling to WWE in order to work under his former NXT booker, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Eric Young made waves in July by quietly exiting the promotion without making a single television appearance before making his triumphant return to the Impact Zone as Scott D’Amore’s surprise Team Canada tag team […]

Gunther is just 48 days away from being the longest-tenured Intercontinental Champion in WWE history. Since winning the strap on June 10th, 2022, Gunther has successfully defended his title on 12 occasions, put down some of the best performers the WWE roster has to offer, and has established Imperium as one of the most imposing […]

There was a time when Baron Corbin was one of the top dogs in the WWE Universe; he pinned Roman Reigns, retired Kurt Angle, and held court atop the roster not just as the King of the Ring in a very subtle tip-of-the-cap to Game of Thrones but also as the United States Champion in […]

As the professional wrestling world gears up for Cody Rhodes‘ Peacock documentary American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes, fans, wrestlers, and pundits alike have been reflecting on the second-generation WWE Superstar’s career, including Booker T, who believes he deserves some credit for getting the “Grandson of a Plummer” where he is today. Sitting down with an […]

With just a little over two weeks away from WWE’s annual SummerSlam event, the show is shaping up nicely, although a couple surprises wouldn’t hurt. John Cena and The Rock would be nice additions to what WWE has often labeled the biggest party of the summer with a sudden open schedule. Writers/Actors strike opens opportunity […]

On June 19th, 2023, Tommaso Ciampa made his surprise return to the WWE Universe on RAW when he answered his former friend The Miz’s open challenge and promptly kicked the Ohio kid’s booty back to Parma, the town he was born in roughly nine miles away from Cleveland. Finally, back in the ring after nine […]

Booker T is in the phase of his professional wrestling career where he’s looking to give back to the next generation of Superstars in WWE and beyond through his school/promotion Reality of Wrestling.

Chelsea Green has been through a lot since she walked out on Deonna Purrazo following a failed attempt to retire Mickey James on Impact wrestling; she debuted back in WWE at the Royal Rumble – for a few seconds at least – formed an odd couple tag team with Sonya Deville, and on the most […]

After taking an ugly loss to Erik, Ivar, and Valhalla in a Viking Rules match on RAW, it looked like the feud between The Viking Raiders and Alpha Academy was over… or was it? Byron Saxton took it upon himself to find out his asked Chad Gable, Maxxine Dupri, and Otis if they still want […]

After demanding another meeting with Zoey Stark and Trish Stratus following a loss to the former the previous week, Becky Lynch demanded another interaction with the two thorns in her side on RAW to hopefully get what she wants most of all: a one-on-one match with the WWE Hall of Famer. Instead, Lynch ended up […]

After nine months on the shelf, Tommaso Ciampa returned to the WWE ring in a major way on the June 19th edition of RAW, as he wasn’t looking to ease his way back into professional wrestling action but instead opted to run down to the ring in response to The Miz‘s open challenge and lay […]

The formation of a new wrestling faction always comes with its fair share of challenges. Bringing together multiple wrestlers to form a new group often means they’ve struggled individually to connect with the audience. Initially, The Judgment Day faced such difficulties, and later, they had to overcome them. Despite this, they are now being considered […]

During his expansive run as one of the top heels on RAW, Seth Rollins made a ton of enemies; he got in bad with the Mysterios before Dominik turned heel, hurt Cody Rhodes so bad he was out of action for half a year and has even gotten into it with the “Maverick” himself, Logan […]

When Nick Khan and company started cutting talent due to “budget cuts” during the COVID-19 pandemic, it left more than a few fan favorites looking for a new home outside of the WWE Universe. Some performers signed with AEW, with Toni Storm, Adam Cole, and Malakai Black all holding one title or another in for […]

The Miz is a very busy guy; he’s a WWE Superstar, one of just two two-time Grand Slam Champions in WWE history, the star of Miz and Mrs. on USA Network, and a participant in darn near any celebrity All-Star game that comes his way. And yet, outside of his in-ring responsibilities, The Miz wanted […]

After securing a massive win over Wes Lee with the North American Championship on the line in the main event of the July 28th edition of NXT – but not without a little help from The Judgment Day – Dominik Mysterio can finally call himself a singles champion for the first time in his WWE […]

When Dominik Mysterio met up with Wes Lee in the NXT locker room to inquire about the North American Champion’s open-challenge policy, an offering the former Rascal discontinued earlier this year due to Black Friday stampede levels of interest, fans had to know something was afoot in the minds of WWE’s top creative brass. Sure, […]

Believe it or not, Gable Steveson has been a member of the WWE Universe for longer than Maxxine Dupri, Eddie Thorpe, and almost Tiffany Stratton, who signed with the promotion just one day before the new “Olympic Hero” made his debut at SummerSlam on August 21st, 2021. And yet, other than a few fun moments […]

Seth Rollins has been working in the professional wrestling trenches for 19 years and counting. Since debuting for SCW all the way back in August of 2004 under the Gixx moniker – if you can believe it – Rollins has worked for 46 different companies before he made WWE his home, and has wrestled over […]

If there’s one topic that wrestling fans have thoroughly enjoyed debating over the past month or so, it’s whether or not LA Knight is a “ripoff” of Attitude Era legends like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and whether or not that has any effect on his status as WWE’s fastest-rising “Megastar” […]
