Nikki Bella and Brie Bella, aka the Hall of Fame Bella Twins, are not particularly enthused with WWE at the moment. Sure, their career will forever be linked to the Stamford-based company as Total Divas, Total Bellas, and their current show are all productions of WWE’s entertainment arm, but outright dissing the company certainly isn’t […]

After sitting through a very long Tribal Court segment to start RAW XXX, Rhea Ripley and The Judgement Day went down to the ring in the hopes of finally being the team who unseats The Usos as the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions. Unfortunately, a totally legitimate Jimmy foot injury shook things up for Dominik […]

After initially being booked for RAW XXX, WWE’s South Philadelphia-based birthday party for The Fed’s longest-running television show, the Bella Twins, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella, were shocking removed from the show in favor of old-school stars like “Diamond” Dallas Page. But why? Did the duo spend too much time celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles win […]

With RAW XXX officially in the books, all eyes within the WWE Universe can now turn to The Royal Rumble, the first “Premium Live Event” of the 2023 calendar year. Sure, technically, there’s still SmackDown, which has a few interesting bouts books, including Kevin Owens vs. Solo Sikoa, but the Rumble reigns supreme in January […]

With the Royal Rumble less than a week away, WWE has only announced seven entrants in the women’s Royal Rumble match. There still is one more show before the Royal Rumble event, but unless they go crazy with announcements on Friday Night Smackdown, it looks like we’ll be getting plenty of surprise entrants in the […]

With the Royal Rumble less than a week away, the WWE has officially announced 15 entrants in the men’s Royal Rumble match and only seven in the women’s match.

Folks, it’s official: Brock Lesnar is back in the WWE, and he’s got one very specific superstar in his sights. First, the setup; after returning from his suspension, Bobby Lashley has been back on the same business he’s been on since last fall: winning back the United States Championship. Heckbent on besting Austin Theory for […]

The Miz wasn’t booked for RAW XXX, and as the WWE Universe found out, he wasn’t particularly happy about that fact. Hijacking the ring immediately following the Bianca Belair match against Sonya Deville, The Miz got a mic to air his grievances over why he, a double Triple Crown Champion, wouldn’t be booked for a […]

Though he’s technically a SmackDown performer, RAW XXX was a special occasion that brought stars from all over the WWE Universe to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary, so it was only right that LA Knight, the Friday night Megastar would travel from Los Angeles to South Philadelphia to honor the occasions and, more importantly of […]

WWE has a problem when it comes to D-Generation X. Now sure, the faction is as over as ever, with Paul “Triple” Levesque and Shawn Michaels becoming all the more popular because of their roles as the bookers of RAW/SmackDown and NXT, respectively but whenever the faction tried to reunite on television, they have to […]

When news broke that Hulk Hogan was going to be one of the esteemed guests at RAW XXX, fans of WWE knew it probably wasn’t the best idea. Now sure, the Hulkster is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in WWE history and has a spot permanently reserved on the company’s Mount Rushmore as a […]

After confusing WWE fans with the announcement of a “Tribal Court” over the weekend, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, The Usos, and Paul Heyman sat down with Sami Zayn in the middle of the RAW XXX ring to decide on his future in The Bloodline. The segment, which lasted darn near half of RAW’s first commercial-less […]

There was a time when New Day was the top tag team in all of WWE. They got the choice spots atop the card, received incredible entrances decked out in power rangers and/or Dragon Ball Z gear, and even transcended their popularity outside of the ring, with Booty-Os being sold at FYEs and their interactive […]

After besting The Viking Raiders in the first round of the SmackDown Interim Tag Team Tournament, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus were feeling pretty darn good. While the match was far from a cakewalk, as Ivar and Erik are two of the biggest, baddest dudes in WWE, they were able to come out on top and […]

When Shawn Michaels made the shocking decision to fire Mandy Rose following her risque postings on FanTime, it sent the entire NXT sub-Universe into disarray. Michaels and company had to change their plans for the NXT Women’s Championship in order to put the belt on Roxanne Perez, the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge winner, prematurely, Toxic […]

Raw is XXX is shaping up to be one of Raw’s most significant episodes in recent memory. Not only has the WWE announced a handful of excellent matches for the night, including Becky Lynch vs. Bayley in Steel Cage match and Bobby Lashley vs. Austin Theory for the United State Championship, but many WWE legends […]

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. As SmackDown prepares to run an eight-team tournament to decide on the next challengers for The Usos’ SmackDown Tag Team Championship Titles, fans now know the first team advancing to the semi-finals, as former Univeral Champions Drew McIntyre and Sheamus, collectively and humorously known as the […]

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.
