It’s officially been one calendar year since Pete Dunn was elevated from NXT to the WWE main roster and officially became Butch, the smallest, angriest member of Sheamus’ faction, The Brawling Brutes, and the fan reaction to the change has been… interesting. To some, Butch is a fun, humorous character that younger fans have come […]

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 […]

The WWE Raw after WrestleMania always goes down as one of the most memorable nights of the year. Fans witness their favorite superstars return and see some of the most shocking debuts in company history. With this being Triple H’s first Raw after WrestleMania as head of creative, fans can expect one hell of a […]

The WWE Raw episode after WrestleMania is always one of the biggest shows of the year. The company always tries to make this specific episode of Raw as memorable as possible for the fans. The Raw after WrestleMania is known to have some of the most shocking debuts, returns, and moments in WWE history. The […]

After watching both members of the Young Bucks, Nick, and Matt Jackson, get ambulanced away in the opening moments of AEW Dynamite, fans were treated to an incredibly fun six-man tag of Kip Sabian, The Butcher, and The Blade versus Orange Cassidy, Darby Allin, and The Man Called Sting, the 37-year WCW/TNA/WWE vet who recently […]

Though it hasn’t yet been a year since Bronson Reed jumped ship from New Japan Pro Wrestling to bring his unique brand of big-bodied brutality to the WWE Universe, it’s hard to argue with his on-screen production. Sure, technically, Reed began his career in a weird way, playing the role of “heater” for The Miz […]

Though Carmelo Hayes has never actually worked a televised match on RAW or SmackDown, with all of his matches in the WWE Universe either coming on NXT, Main Event, or a single dark match with Trick Williams on SmackDown back in 2021, few NXT Superstars appear as ready to take their show on the road […]

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 […]

Despite being a featured player down the proverbial stretch in 2022 leading into a pair of matches against Bianca Belair for the RAW Women’s Championship first on RAW and then at the 2023 Royal Rumble, Alexa Bliss has been missing from action for much of 2023, with no matches booked in all of February or […]

Kenny Omega has heard it all before (mostly from WWE fans); El Hijo del Vikingo isn’t a household name, the build-up to their match was non-existent, and calling a non-title match against an international star, even when he’s the Lucha Libre AAA Mega Champion, a “dream match” is a fairly liberal use of the term. […]

When Vince McMahon announced his retirement from the WWE in June of 2022, it marked a paradigm shift in professional wrestling. Suddenly, the mastermind behind Hulkamania, The Attitude Era, Cenation, and The Bloodline was ceding creative control to his son-in-law, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, who did win Booker of the Year from the Wrestling Observer […]

Mr. Kennedy was set to become a major star in WWE. After making his main roster debut in 2005, Kennedy was set to take the company by storm. The loud-mouthed superstar went nearly an entire year without being pinned or submitted. He found himself going up against, and defeating, some of the biggest names in […]

Cody Rhodes is set to face off against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. This main event has been hyped up for months, with Cody Rhodes being presented as the man who can finally dethrone Roman Reigns and end his reign of terror. Since the beginning of the Bloodline storyline, nobody […]

Cody Rhodes is set to challenge Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in what is being hyped up as one of the most significant main events in WrestleMania history. Since Rhodes’ return to WWE last year, fans have thought he would be the man to dethrone Roman Reigns. After returning to WWE, Rhodes has vowed […]

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is well known for his time in WCW. He was an absolute force who built up arguably one of the most incredible win streaks in wrestling history. Goldberg won an absurd 173 matches in a row before losing to Kevin Nash in a monumental upset. After WCW’s demise, Goldberg returned […]

“Tell everybody all of this truth about April 3rd and what it means for me, let’s talk about what it could mean for you. What it will mean for you. April 3rd, Tribal Chief, you will have to wake up and remember what it’s like to lose. You’ve got to wake up without these titles […]

Though Mercedes Moné is no longer a member of the WWE Universe, putting a decades worth of Sasha Banks’ legacy behind her to go out on her own as part of New Japan Pro Wrestling, that doesn’t’ mean the woman formerly known as “The Boss” doesn’t still keep up with her former employer’s on-screen product. […]

After consistently being linked to big-time matches at “Premium Live Events” for years now, it would appear Bill Goldberg’s time in WWE has come to an end, at least for now, as the 56-year-old WCW Champion-turned-movie star’s contract has officially expired according to multiple sources including Fightful. So where does this leave Goldberg? Though he’s […]

Though their run in NXT is officially over, and the tag team run is currently on hold as both Kofi Kingston and Big E recover from injuries, New Day are still leaving an impact on WWE developmental but not in the way one team, Pretty Deadly, would like. Sitting down for an interview with Jim […]

After months and months of politicking dating all the way back to 2022, Austin Theory has officially landed his dream match at WrestleMania 39, where he will wrestle his childhood hero, John Cena, for the United States Championship. In a way, it really feels like Theory got everything he wanted, as despite his former father […]

When Cody Rhodes and John Cena shared the stage on the first episode of RAW of the month of March, it felt special. Sure, Cena isn’t the same wrestler he once was, and he technically isn’t even an active wrestler at this point, as he only wrestled one match in 2022, but watching the man […]

When Roman Reigns takes the ring against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39, it will be for all of the marbles… literally. After over 900 days as champion, Reigns will put his, and The Bloodline’s legacy on the line in the April 2nd main event; win and he inches even closer to 1,000 days with the […]

After hinting at his arrival since the opening segment, when he arrived in St. Louis in an SUV with Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns finally took the ring in the main event of the penultimate edition of Monday Night RAW to lay out a message to Cody Rhodes about why he would retain […]

After thoroughly rejecting The Miz’s request to be his first-ever guest on a WWE-broadcasted showing of ImPaulsive TV, there was one person and one person alone who was going to share the RAW ring with Logan Paul: himself. That’s right, when Paul took the ring, he used the opportunity to put himself over, talk trash […]

After taking care of his second Street Profit in as many weeks with a clean win over Montez Ford on RAW, Austin Theory was riding high off of his momentum, with a win over John Cena all but a guarantee at WrestleMania 39, at least according to A-Town’s finest. Asked whether Cena’s words rattled him […]

After months of back-and-forth battles between the only two men to ever call themselves the leader of The Judgement Day, Finn Balor and Edge are looking to end their feud once and for all. That’s right, no more wrestling call-outs, no more attacking each other’s families, none of it; after being stuck in the proverbial […]

On June 23rd, 2019, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The New Day, Big E and Xavier Woods, at Stomping Grounds. Why, you may ask, is that relevant? Well, because it marked the last time Owens and Zayn shared the ring on WWE programming as friends for the better part of four years, save a […]

While most fans are eagerly counting down the minutes until WrestleMania 39, when the entire WWE Universe descends on Los Angeles to put on two of the biggest shows of the year in terms of audience and proverbial weight, it’s important to remember that “The Showcase of the Immortals” isn’t the only show happening in […]

As the card for WrestleMania 39 rapidly comes into focus, with a “WrestleMania Showcase Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match” booked featuring The Street Profits, Braun Strowman/Ricochet, The Viking Raiders, and the Alpha Academy just booked ahead of the penultimate RAW before “The Showcase of the Immortals,” fans are eagerly anticipating which match will fall on […]

Ahead of RAW, the penultimate edition of WWE’s Monday night show before “The Showcase of the Immortals,” WrestleMania 39, Byron Saxton had a huge announcement for fans ready to watch their favorite Superstars rumble: Paul “Triple H” Levesque has booked a “WrestleMania Showcase Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match” for WrestleMania 39 featuring The Street Profits, […]

While Forbidden Door II is still three months away, with another AEW Pay-Per-View, Double or Nothing, scheduled before the cross-promotional, Toronto-based event, fans and wrestling media alike have been racking their brains, attempting to fantasy book the best possible match for Mercedes Moné, the former WWE Four Horsewomen who now calls New Japan Pro Wrestling […]

After attacking “Switchblade” Jay White at the end of his final New Japan Pro Wrestle match versus Eddie Kingston at Battle in the Valley, many assumed that David Finlay, the son of Fit Finlay and former tag team partner of Juice Robinson, was going to become the group’s leader, as he basically followed all of […]

Though he almost certainly won’t be doing much in the ring at any point moving forward outside your standard, run-of-the-mill “can’t be touched” celebrity appearance – what with him being retired and all – it would be unrealistic to assume that The Undertaker won’t at least make some sort of an appearance at WrestleMania 39, […]

For the second week in a row, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus took part in a match with a spot in the Intercontinental Championship match opposite Gunther at Wrestlemania 39 on the line, and for a second, there wasn’t a clean winner at the end of the match. First came the end of the fatal five-way […]

Though technically a RAW wrestler, because Cody Rhodes is booked for a match with “The Tribal Chief,” Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, WWE has been rather lax as to where “The American Nightmare” wrestles as of late, especially when it can help to move along a storyline. On Friday Night SmackDown, Rhodes made his way […]

On March 29th, 1997, the WWE Universe changed forever when “Stone Cold’ Steve Austin finally accomplished his seeming birthright and defeated “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels for the then-WWF World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 14. While the “Rattlesnake” had won championships before in the WWF and elsewhere, including a run alongside HBK with the World […]

A lot of wrestlers would carve out solid careers in the WWE. While some of them are immortalized by getting inducted into the Hall of Fame, unfortunately, there are also a lot of great wrestlers who don’t. Although the WWE is arguably the best company to be in for world-class wrestling performers, that doesn’t mean […]

After being released from WWE due to “budget cuts” during the pandemic, did Karrion Kross have any apprehension about returning to The Fed, especially after having his first run on the main roster thoroughly botched by Vince McMahon and his Gladiator-inspired idea? Or was the former Killer ready to test his mettle on wrestling’s grandest […]
