After having some fun in a five-on-five game of war at Survivor Series, Bianca Belair has to get back to the business of defending her RAW Women’s Championship, the title she’s held since April, but who in the WWE Universe deserves the next shot at The EST? Could it be Bayley? Maybe, but after two-straight […]

When Bobby Lashley, fresh off losing his match to Seth Rollins due to referee unavailability in the main event of RAW, laid hands on two officials and then Adam Pearce on his way to the back, folks assumed that it would have some sort of ramifications on the greater WWE Universe, but who expected to […]

Roxanne Perez hasn’t even been a member of the WWE Universe for one year, and she’s already one of the hottest performers in the promotion, with big-time wins in the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament, the NXT Women’s #1 Contendership Fatal Four Way, and the NXT Iron Survivor Challange, a short-but-sweet run with the NXT Women’s […]

When Mandy Rose lost her NXT Women’s Championship to Iron Survivor Challange winner Roxanne Perez on the fallout edition of NXT, it felt like a real changing of the guard atop the proverbial card. After 413 days with the strap – the third-longest run in the title’s history behind only Asuka’s and Shayna Baszler’s – […]

Since the beginning of NXT, we’ve seen countless crossovers with the main roster. Whether it’s to start a storyline or to help boost ratings, it’s not uncharacteristic when we see a main roster superstar on NXT television. A few times, though, we’ve seen those superstars stick around for more than one appearance. Earlier in the […]

Pro Wrestling Illustrated released its list of the top 100 tag teams of 2022, leading to debate amongst fans on social media. PWI named the Usos the #1 tag team of 2022, followed by FTR and the Briscoe Brothers. Not only were fans airing out their opinions of the list online, but Jay from the […]

Vince McMahon is reportedly attempting to make a comeback to the WWE despite facing sexual assault allegations, per The Wall Street Journal. “The 77-year-old Mr. McMahon also has told people that he intends to make a comeback at WWE, according to the people familiar with his comments. He has said that he received bad advice […]

The Road to WrestleMania is right around the corner, and it’s almost time for WWE to start ramping up their storylines heading into their biggest event of the year. This year’s WrestleMania feels like it will be the biggest in years. With this being Triple H’s first fully controlled WrestleMania, you can bet he wants […]

Though William Regal is technically still an employee of AEW, and will be at least until “the end of the month,” when Tony Khan officially terminates his contract and opens the door for a return to WWE, according to a report from PWInsider, the deal has already been struck, with the “Gentleman Villian” set to […]

Bobby Lashley hasn’t been the same since he lost his United States Championship to Seth Rollins on the October 10th edition of WWE RAW. Since then, Lashley’s gotten into fights with Brock Lesnar after losing a match at Crown Jewel, gotten into fights with Rollins and Austin Theory in various unscheduled segments that ultimately led […]

Samoa Joe is one bad, bad dude. The self-proclaimed “King of Television” after winning the Ring of Honor Television Title on the April 13th edition of Dynamite and the AEW TNT Championship at Full Gear, Joe defended his straps twice last week, first against Darby Allin on Dynamite and then against Juice Robinson at ROH […]

It has been over four years since Alexa Bliss held singles gold in WWE, excluding, of course, her minute run with the 24/7 Championship in the match where it truly jumped the shark earlier this year. Now granted, Bliss hasn’t been without gold for long, as she has held the RAW Tag Team Championships on […]

Matt Riddle is one of the most modelable stars in the WWE Universe; he can work up and down a card with ease, work tag or singles matches, and even looks fully at home providing nothing more than some comedic relief, as he’s proven multiple times over including his current gimmick asking performers to “bang […]

The second feud a performer has in WWE can make or break their entire run with the company. Now sure, sometimes, performers don’t even make it to their second feud, as Karrion Kross learned all too well during his first run on RAW, but for the most part, first feuds are easy; creative introduces a […]

If “Switchblade” Jay White is the catalyst of professional wrestling, then The Good Brothers, “Machine Gun” Karl “Bright Lights” Anderson and “The Big LG” Doc-now-Luke Gallows, are his worker bees who have taken the Bullet Club gospel to Impact, AEW, and now WWE, where they work alongside another former Bullet Club leader, A.J. Styles and […]

While Wheeler Yuta recorded arguably the biggest win of his professional wrestling career at Ring of Honor Final Battle, defeating his career-spanning rival, Daniel Garcia, in a match to become a two-time ROH Pure Champion, fans, pundits, and everyone in between still had one question for the 26-year-old star that rose above all others: what […]

When the participants were announced for the NXT Iron Survivor Challenge, few expected to see Grayson Waller close out the contest drinking out of his shoe with the word “winner” before his name on the title card. Carmelo Hayes was in the match, as was JD McDonagh, and even dark horse entrants like Axiom and […]

While Xavier Woods is most well known for his main roster run with New Day, his Youtube Channel/time on G4 as Austin Creed, and even for his early indie runs as Consequences Creed, before he was flipping pancakes and eating Booty-Os, Woods was working on his craft in FCW and eventually NXT well before the […]

Sasha Banks’ status in WWE has been one of the biggest stories in professional wrestling since, well, since she and Naomi – real name Trinity Fatu – walked out of the company back in June when Vince McMahon was in charge. It’s been reported numerous times that she’s done, just as many times that she’s […]

Bron Breakker has only been wrestling professionally since September of 2021, when he made his in-ring debut for NXT in a win over LA Knight. Since then, he’s won all but four of his televised matches, won as many NXT Championships as he’s lost singles matches, and has now officially defended his strap successfully on […]

And just like that, there was one match left on NXT Deadl1ne, and boy oh boy, what a match it was. Taking the ring against Apollo Crews, his breakfast/fishing buddy, Bron Breakker was ready to wrestle his 11th match as the NXT World Champion after 251 days and counting with the strap, and you’d best […]

After watching a very fun Woman’s Iron Survivor Challenge to open the show, fans of the WWE Universe were hyped as heck to see the men take part in the second running of the same match concept on NXT Deadl1ne, the final “Premium Live Event” of the calendar year. Would the bout deliver in the […]

New Day are the second-ranked tag team in WWE right now, trailing only The Usos due to their spot in the promotion’s top faction, The Bloodline. If in basically any other era, that would be cool, WWE has two separate brands, RAW and SmackDown, for a reason, and the two teams could theoretically co-exist on […]

Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn do not like each other. They’ve wrestled numerous times back in NXT when the former was going by Kay Lee Ray, including in five singles matches, and when Fyre was very close to securing the Women’s Championship against long-time rival Mandy Rose, who but Dawn appeared to ruin the show […]

After spending the afternoon watching a fantastic Ring of Honor Final Battle, the first-ever ROH Women’s World Champion Roxanne Perez – then known as Rox-C – earned the honor of being the first entrant in the first-ever running of the Iron Survivor Championship at NXT Deadl1ne, facing Zoey Stark for the entirety of the 25-minute […]

Folks, it’s official: NXT Deadl1ne is upon us. Soon, the WWE Universe will be aghast with all sorts of interesting matches, including two for championships and the debut of the Iron Survivor Challange, a new, WarGames-inspired fatal five-way with a very unusual set of rules that could either be the innovation of the year, surpassing […]

Kurt Angle was born on December 9th, 1968 in beautiful Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania. He began wrestling as a school child, earned his degree from Clarion University of Pennsylvania, and ultimately won an Olympic gold medal – with a broken neck, no less – before taking his talents to WWE in the pursuit of making a […]

Sami Zayn is on a roll in the WWE Universe; he’s uber-over with the fans, he’s a WarGames winner, and, after months of in-fighting, Jey Uso can finally call him a friend, completing his acceptance within The Bloodline. Surely life is good for Zayn, but being friends with Jey isn’t just a one-way street. No, […]

While NXT Deadl1ne is all about the Iron Survivor Challenge, which is a new match type that either Shawn Michaels fever dreamed up or he’s championing to a pretty incredible degree, there are a few more contests on the Saturday card, none of which is more important than the bout between Bron Breakker and Apollo […]

While Cody Rhodes hasn’t made an appearance on WWE television – at least in person – since all the way back in June, in the immediate aftermath of his barn-burning bout with Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell, “The American Nightmare” has kept himself busy, working himself back to full health from a pec […]

When Triple H took control of WWE creative midway through the year, fans expected significant changes from the King of Kings. Fans were ecstatic to learn that the mastermind behind NXT would oversee the entire main roster. Since Triple H took over, we’ve seen a decent amount of returns from wrestlers who previously got released. […]

Wrestling fans, it’s official; William Regal’s time in AEW will be over in January, when he leaves the promotion he joined back in March of 2022 to return to WWE. Tony Khan talked about it during his media call before Ring of Honor Final Battle, Moxley asked him to “run” and MJF followed that up […]

There was a time when a RAW or SmackDown performer turning up on NXT was like spotting a unicorn; the developmental brand was meant to be just that, a developmental brand, and sending down a ready-made star to compete against performers still learning the ropes was viewed as inappropriate within the company. When Kevin Owens […]

There isn’t a hotter yet more unclear story in wrestling today than William Regal’s status in AEW and/or WWE. Not since CM Punk, Ace Steel, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks, Nick and Matt Jackson, threw down in the back of the NOW Arena in the greater Chicagoland area has speculation run so high while […]

After a hard-hitting weekend of WarGames and a week of television that dealt with the corresponding fallout, the next chapter of WWE’s women’s division came into frame on Monday Night RAW, when not one but two matches were held in a mini-tournament to decide on the next contender for Bianca Balair’s championship. The festivities started […]

Not too many WWE fans knew of Solo Sikoa when he debuted during the Undisputed Universal Championship match at Clash at the Castle, helping his cousin Roman Reigns retain against Drew McIntyre. Sikoa was starting to make a name for himself in NXT before getting the unexpected call-up to the main roster to join The […]

Heading into RAW, Mustafa Ali really wanted a chance to compete for the WWE United States Championship. He cut a filmed promo for Twitter where he detailed just how much the title would mean for him, including allusions to his time in High School during 9/11 and his time as a police officer in Chicago, […]

2022 has been a big year for Brocks. Brock Lesnar had huge showings for WWE, including matches with Roman Reigns at both WrestleMania and SummerSlam, and Brock Purdy, the Iowa State quarterback who was drafted with the final pick in the 2022 NFL draft, just became the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, a […]

Becky Lynch really wanted to succeed as a heel in WWE. She changed up her hairstyle, raided Seth Rollins’ closet for all sorts of strange, angular, heelish costumes that would make David Bowie blush, and even talked down the crowd from time to time, but in the end, putting new Becky against Sasha Banks never […]
