For the second-straight week, Brock Lesnar looked small sharing the ring with his WrestleMania 39 opponent, Omos.

Brock Lesnar defeating the Undertaker and ending his WrestleMania win streak is one of the most shocking moments in wrestling history.

Nobody expected Lesnar to be the one to […]

When The Revival left WWE to shoot their shot on the indies, joining AEW under their long-term, tongue-in-cheek moniker FTR, they left a lot behind in order to earn their freedom.

There have been rumors of WWE splitting up both the WWE and Universal Championships for quite some time now.

With WrestleMania 39 officially less than a week away, Cody Rhodes’ one-man media tour to promote WWE’s “Showcase of the Immortals” is rapidly approaching its conclusion.

As Becky Lynch prepares for her first-ever trios match at a WrestleMania, working alongside fellow WWE Tag Team Champion Lita and Trish Stratus against the Damage CTRL trio of Bayley, IYO SKY, and Dakota Kai, “The Man” is riding high, so much so that she isn’t just satisfied with one bout at “The Showcase of […]

Wrestling, like any other sport, isn’t forever. It is a sport that demands a lot of physicality, creativity, and time away from family.

With his United States Championship match against Austin Theory officially set to open up the first night of WrestleMania 39, John Cena has returned to the time-worn tradition of doing the media rounds to promote the event, a tradition that’s been perfecting for the better part of 20 years.

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.

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.
