Though MJF is currently going strong as the AEW World Champion, with his “Reign of Terror” up to 208 days and counting, fans still wonder whether or not the Long Island native will make the jump to WWE like Blair Davenport, Cody Rhodes, William Regal, and Eric Bischoff before him. On paper, the union makes […]

Bayley has a lot of enemies in WWE.

When WWE sent Mandy Rose down to NXT after her incredibly over angle with Otis and not-so-over angle with Dana Brooke to become the leader of Toxic Attraction and eventual NXT Women’s Champion, it didn’t seem like was going to work… at least until it slowly and steadily built towards something much bigger and far […]

When the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving the NBA season, the NHL season, and the rest of the world in flux, Vince McMahon, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and WWE decided to do something borderline unprecedented across the greater sports landscape and just sort of… keep going, moving the shows to the […]

While Becky Lynch spent her time after RAW comically climbing up and down ladders to prepare herself for a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, Zoey Stark was nothing but business for her appearance on RAW Talk, taking particular issue with Byron Saxton’s nerve to ask about sharing the ring with “The […]

After years of fielding brand-specific women’s championship belts for RAW and SmackDown, WWE officially debuted not one but two new women’s championship straps, with the Red Brand getting the WWE Women’s World Championship and the Blue Brand taking the WWE Women’s Championship, which is a tad confusing – maybe that’s why Charlotte Flair leapfrogged Bianca […]

After offering Dominik Mysterio a match at Money in the Bank to settle their feud face-to-face instead of with slaps behind his back, Cody Rhodes caught up with Cathy Kelley in the backstage of RAW to discuss the match being made official, even if the least experienced member of The Judgement Day didn’t actually accept […]

SummerSlam 2016 was a regular A Tale of Two Cities situation for Finn Balor. On one hand, he parlayed an incredible run as the OG leader of Bullet Club and one of NXT‘s first true breakout stars into an incredible run on the WWE main roster, capped off with a win over Seth Rollins to become […]

After punching her ticket to Money in the Bank despite the best intentions of Trish Stratus, Zoey Stark, Chelsea Green, and Sonya Deville, Becky Lynch was feeling pretty good.

Billy Gunn was a lot of things during his WWE tenure; he was a Smoking Gunn, liked Rockabilly, joined the New Age Outlaws, and even had a very… unusual relationship with his friend Chuck Palumbo, which was totally platonic and not weird at all. And yet, to many fans of the promotion, Gunn’s biggest accomplishment […]

There was a time when it looked like Gable Steveson was going to be the next big thing in WWE. A dominant collegiate wrestler at the University of Minnesota, the very same school where Brock Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin, and his own brother Bobby – aka NXT‘s Damian Kemp – all attended, Steveson was drafted onto […]

Wrestling is a work. Sure, it still takes incredible physicality to do what wrestlers do, and performers can suffer life-changing injuries at even a moment’s notice, but Hulk Hogan didn’t hold the WWF Championship for 1,474 days from 1984 to 1988 because he was better than Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, his old pal The Iron […]
