When the WWE SmackDown Contenders Tag Team Tournament was announced to select the next challengers for The Usos’ straps – presumably at The Royal Rumble – few had the Maximum Male Models, a team who haven’t wrestled on television since an October loss to New Day as their favorites to win it all. Sure, the […]

There was a time when Imperium, the tag team, not the faction, was one of the most dominant duos in the entire WWE Universe. Two-time NXT Tag Team Champions with 263 combined days with the straps, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci, then known as Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner, successfully defended their belts on four […]

“Switchblade” Jay White is one of the pillars of New Japan Pro Wrestling. He’s a five-time world champion with the promotion, with his most recent title reign, with the IWGP World Championship, coming to an end at Wrestle Kingdom 17, the leader of Bullet Club, and the self-proclaimed “Catalyst of Professional Wrestling” for having his […]

Ricochet is one of the most talkative wrestlers on the WWE roster. Never one to turn down an interview request, the high-flying former Prince Puma seemingly hangs out after SmackDown each week, looking for someone like Megan Morant or Cathy Kelley to ask him questions and is surprisingly forthcoming about pretty much anything, from his […]

When WWE released a David Guetta ft. Bebe Rexha-soundtracked trailer for their forthcoming 30th-anniversary edition of RAW – dubbed RAW XXX – fans of professional wrestling noticed more than a few familiar faces of in-ring performers who aren’t currently employed by the company. From Bryan Danielson’s “Yes” movement under his Daniel Bryan moniker to Mercedes […]

When news broke that Karl Fredericks was leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling after a standout stint as a member of the LA Dojo, it wasn’t too surprising for fans of the promotion. Sure, Fredericks was used a ton on NJPW’s American streaming content, and even had a burgeoning relationship with Christopher Daniels going, but he […]

Dax Harwood has an issue he’d like to address. Now granted, this isn’t a new or particularly rare thing, as, since the FTR member launched his FTR Podcast in place of William Regal’s The Gentleman Villian when he left for WWE, the 10-time champion has made it his mission to discuss seemingly everything he has […]

After going through a whirlwind of emotions on SmackDown, from arriving with the Bloodline to being kicked out of Roman Reigns’ locker room by the “Tribal Cheif” and Paul Heyman, to being invited back into the group but not to the contract signing only to emerge from the back too late to stop Kevin Owens […]

Though The Briscoes never actually wrestled in any capacity for WWE, not even as local job guys when the promotion rolled through Delaware, that didn’t stop multiple wrestlers – and Michael Cole – from paying their respects to Jay, who passed away in a car accident earlier in the week. The Viking Raiders wore “Dem […]

LA Knight is a lot of things; he’s a professional wrestler for WWE, an aficionado of 90s pop culture, as his outfits and entrance music clearly showcase, and even the former owner of professional wrestling’s premier male modeling agency, even if he’s passed off controlling interest to his sister Maxxine. Surely Knight is a certified […]

Though he never wrestled a match for the promotion – not even a local jobber squash – WWE SmackDown did not go off the air without multiple shoutouts to former Ring of Honor Triple Crown Champion Jay Briscoe, who tragically passed away on Tuesday in a car accident. Much like on NXT and AEW before […]

Sami Zayn was dealt a bad hand on Friday Night SmackDown. Arriving at the WWE show alongside his Island of Relevancy buddies, The Bloodline, Zayn was rejected by “The Tribal Cheif” not once but twice on the show before being kicked out of the group’s locker room following an impassioned speech from Reigns declaring that […]

When Charlotte Flair boldly declares that she wants to be a “fighting champion” in her 14th title reign atop WWE, it drew rave reviews from fans. Sure, being a heel who carefully selects their challenger can be fun, as MJF is currently proving on AEW Dynamite and Rampage, but, in a surprising twist of fate […]

The Royal Rumble is one of WWE’s most exciting and unpredictable events that the WWE has to offer. The match is memorable because fans see surprise entrants from wrestlers who are debuting, returning, or haven’t been seen on TV or in the company for some time each year. Some surprises are more evident than others, […]

“If you’re feeling lonely today, come along and throw your cares away, we’re really glad that you’re our friend, and this is a friendship that will never ever end” – if these lyrics ring a bell to you, it can mean one thing and one thing only: WWE is officially bringing fans back to The […]

And just like that, there were seven, WWE fans.

After less than six months away, Vince McMahon is officially back in WWE, and seemingly everyone has an opinion on the matter.

Though Vince McMahon hasn’t technically taken back the book from his son-in-law, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, just yet, his return to the Board of Directors has already shaken things up to a degree within the WWE Universe, with fans worried about the future, wrestlers worried that the company will sell to the Saudi Arabia Public […]

Acknowledgment is in order for the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. Today officially marks Roman Reigns’ 871st day as the WWE Universal Champion, surpassing Gunther’s 870-day NXT UK title reign. This means that Roman Reigns has officially had the longest championship reign in WWE over the last 3+ decades. Let’s take a moment to recognize what […]

Throughout the years, the WWE has portrayed The Undertaker as a supernatural being that’s more powerful than the regular wrestler. Because of this, it was relatively unlikely that The Undertaker would take a loss, more so to a wrestler more than once. However, despite The Undertaker’s strong booking, it does happen. For this piece, let’s […]

On the latest edition of Monday Night Raw, it was announced that there will be a “Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony” next week on Raw is 30.

On this week’s edition of WWE Monday Night Raw, Adam Pearce announced that the Usos would be defending their Tag Team Titles at the Royal Rumble against the winner of that night’s tag team turmoil match. This seemed like a regular championship announcement until fans listened to what Pearce actually said. Pearce said that the […]

After making her return to independent wrestling and debuting under her Mercedes Monè gimmick at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 17, AEW fans patiently waited for the performer formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE to make her long-awaited return to American television on the January 11 edition of Dynamite. On paper, the idea was pretty self-explanatory; […]

When Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick announced on commentary that Johnny Gargano, aka Johnny Wrestling, was out for the foreseeable future with an injury, it left fans of WWE very confused indeed. While the production kicked it back to the back, where the “Poison Pixie,” Candice LeRae, spoke on her husband, Husband Wrestling, and his […]

Folks, it’s official: Vince McMahon owns WWE. … okay, maybe that isn’t news news, as that’s been the case for what, five decades now? But for a time on Tuesday, during NXT’s New Year’s Evil no less, that really didn’t look like it was going to be the case anymore, as rumors were swirling like […]

Stone Cold Steve Austin recently posted a video of himself working out, and fans are already wondering who he’ll be facing at Wrestlemania this year.

On the very same day the WWE announced that Vince McMahon was officially taking over as the Executive Head of the Board of Directors, and his daughter, Stephanie, announcing her resignation from the company as Co-CEO, Steven Muehlhausen of DAZN has reported that World Wrestling Entertainment has formally sold to the Saudi Arabia Public Investment […]

What do Kevin Owens and an elephant have in common, WWE fans? Well, they never forget, or at least have incredibly long memories.

Folks, it’s official: Bobby Lashley is back on Monday Night RAW. That’s right, after fighting with darn-near everyone he could get his hands on, the former WWE Champion had his firing rescinded, served out his suspension, and is now fully back in the ring, ready to continue his pursuit of Austin Theory’s United States Championship […]

When Bianca Belair was preparing for her RAW Women’s Championship match against Alexa Bliss, she was mildly confident in being able to retain the top strap on WWE’s Monday night show. Sure, Bliss had attacked her with a flower vase at the end of a sitdown interview with Byron Saxton the week before, but Belair […]

Grayson Waller is on the cusp of fully cementing his legacy in NXT and becoming one of the top prospects, if not the top prospect, period, in the WWE developmental system; all he has to do is beat Bron Breakker, the second-generation Steiner and two-time NXT World Champion, to win the belt at the first […]

It’s (almost) here, it’s (almost) here; after weeks of anticipation, fans of AEW will finally find out whether or not Saraya, the former two-time WWE Divas Champion, is able to pull some Monè out of her hat and bank on adding another marketable star to the women’s division.

Is WWE going up for sale?

After the WWE released its latest Royal Rumble poster, the speculation of whether the Rock will make his return has only increased. The WWE seems to be hammering home the “lightning and electricity” theme of the poster, which only makes fans think of the Rock. Also, it seems like each WWE superstar is looking into […]

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 […]
