After being the topic of heavy speculation about his current contract status, his future, and his past few weeks in AEW, Malakai Black took to Instagram Live to set the record straight in his own words in order to “debunk” some of the rumors floating around. “Alright guys, good evening,” Black began. “You know there’s […]

Sami Zayn is a lot of things to the WWE Universe; he’s a grizzled vet, the “Underdog From The Underground,” and remains very good friends with El Generico, one of the best silent luchadors in the history of the independent wrestling scene. Zayn has 40 matches with at least a four-star rating according to Dave […]

After taking care of business against WWE’s Alpha Academy in a tag team bout with fellow unofficial Panda Express member Kevin Owens, Johnny Gargano’s night was seemingly over; he secured the win despite the best efforts of former NXT son Austin Theory, looked great in only his second official match as a member of the […]

After largely underwhelming fans with an expected 9:23 announcement that ultimately fell during a commercial break, WWE was at it again on Monday Night RAW, where, for the second show in a row, a QR code was flashed on the screen for fans to scan and see a few more pieces in the White Rabbit […]

After a half-decade away from the ring, Saraya, who was known as Paige in WWE, has returned to the professional wrestling world as a member of AEW. Though her exact role in the promotion is rather unclear, as some have suggested that she was not cleared to wrestle very recently, Saraya has shot those reports […]

Paul “Triple H” Levesque is one of the most respected wrestlers in WWE history. Sure, some will look down on his dagger-visioned desire to do whatever it takes to get over and for burying other stars who could have been huge in the process, but the numbers don’t lie, and as his Twitter account clearly […]

WWE’s Liv Morgan loves professional wrestling. SmackDown‘s commentary team of Corey Graves and Michael Cole that she was in attendance at the East Rutherford, New Jersey running of Extreme Rules as a fan in 2014, has tweeted out her praise for dozens of wrestlers over the years, and even posted a picture with Minoru Suzuki […]

Sami Zayn is WWE’s official The Honorary Uce, and he doesn’t care who hears it. That’s right, after working with The Bloodline in an unofficial capacity for months, Roman Reigns finally addressed Zayn’s status head-on, with a tense segment featuring Jey Uso tearing off the “Underdog From The Underground’s” Bloodline shirt only to be handed […]

Damian Lillard is a fan of WWE. He once partnered with Ric Flair for a colorway of his Adidas Dame 7s, released a run of Dame 6s with a “Dame 3:16” motif to pay tribute to the Texas Rattlesnake, and was even a downloadable character in WWE 2K Battlegrounds. So naturally, with more and more […]

For a time, Ricochet was one of the best-kept secrets in WWE. While he would appear on television first on RAW and then on SmackDown following his elevation from NXT, Ricochet was a much more impressive feature of the house show circuit, where the well-traveled veteran performer would routinely put on incredible matches against the […]

WWE’s Bianca Belair is an incredibly compelling personality. She’s rapidly become a fan favorite within the WWE Universe for her incredibly “toyetic” look, solid in-ring work, and compelling babyface charm that almost forces fans to root for her, and that potent combination has largely been able to transcend the squared circle too. From her commercials […]

For the second time in as many shows, Shotzi came to the aid of her fellow former NXT star Raquel Rodriquez while she attempted to best a member of WWE’s Damage CTRL, in a match that would routinely turn into a 3-on-1 affair. But why? Is Shotzi looking to join forces with Rodriquez? Could a […]

Just when it seemed like Bobby Fish-mania had reached its peak, what with the former NXT performer reportedly trying to convince fellow Undisputed Era members Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly to quit AEW and jump ship back to Triple H WWE, the “The Infamous” fighter turned up in Impact Wrestling and cut an extended promo […]

Since debuting an attempted viral marketing campaign to hint at something happening at 9:23 PM on the 9.23 edition of SmackDown, the WWE Universe has been on overdrive trying to figure out who – or what – the White Rabbit could be. Is it a reference to Karrion Kross, as he wrestled under the name […]

For weeks, Sami Zayn has been the WWE’s Honorary Uce, but that title, ironically enough, has been an honorary one. That’s right, though Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and even “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman have acknowledged Zayn’s stop as a reliable ally to The Bloodline, Roman Reigns has never actually acknowledged the […]

Kofi Kingston has been a member of the WWE universe in one form or another since all the way back in 2006, when he signed a developmental contract with the company at the age of 25 and began wrestling for developmental territories like OVW and Deep South Wrestling. Since that fateful day 16 years ago, […]

Tony Khan is not too pleased about WWE trying to poach away his AEW talent. Speaking on the matter publically during his pre-All Out press tour, the multi-hyphenate publically addressed the tampering rumors that were reportedly also discussed at the company’s backstage meeting, as passed along by TJR Wrestling. “There was one issue, that had […]

WWE matches typically get a tough rep from Dave Meltzer. Despite being in business since all the way back in 1953, when Vincent J. McMahon ran the first show under the name Capitol Wrestling Corporation, the company now known as WWE has produced thousands upon thousands upon thousands of matches, and yet, over that near-70-year […]

NBA veteran Dwight Howard hasn’t yet called it a career. Although he’s currently a free agent, Howard clearly has his next opportunity just waiting for him. After attending a WWE tryout in July, president Triple H, a legend of the sport, has essentially left the door open for the big man to become a member […]

Just when it looked like Tony Khan was happy with the performers he already had under contract, the AEW founder pulled a rabbit out of his hat and changed the landscape of the promotion forever with the addition of Saraya, aka the wrestler formerly known as WWE’s Paige. That’s right, though Saraya officially retired the […]

Swerve Strickland is about to wrestle the most important match of his AEW career. When Grand Slam comes to an end both on television and for the thousands of fans in attendance at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the team of Swerve in our Glory, Strickland and Keith Lee, will either remain AEW World Champions or will […]

After yet another round in their seemingly endless feud, Matt Riddle has taken things up a notch versus Seth Rollins, challenging the man formerly known as the “Monday Night Messiah” to a Fight Pit match at Extreme Rules after brawling in the back of the SAP Center in San Jose. First of all, any Extreme […]

Though he isn’t yet healthy enough to make it back on the field for the San Francisco 49ers, three-time Pro Bowler George Kittle found time to drive down to San Jose to watch some good old fashion WWE wrestling for a taping of RAW. .@gkittle46 in the house on #WWERaw!! pic.twitter.com/QqNxTEkkN4 — WWE (@WWE) September […]

Ever since Vince McMahon hung up his suit and had to find a new gym away from Titan Towers, Austin Theory has been without a father figure in the WWE Universe. Granted, Theory has talked himself up without Mr. McMahon by his side, acting like a big, strong boy like he’s Tyler “Freakin’” Bates of […]

In an announcement that few saw coming but everyone unconsciously needed, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has made a change to Survivor Series, the WWE “Premium Live Event” that features bouts between Superstars on RAW and SmackDown. After years of steadily losing its luster following the increased frequency by which stars cross promotions to compete in […]

When Seth “Freakin’” Rollins isn’t heel-ing it up as a member of the RAW roster, the WWE superstar is likely watching the Chicago Bears, who are his favorite team in the NFL. Rollins has shouted out the team in the past on multiple occasions and has even been photographed in Bears gear, which is slightly […]

As rumors continue to swell that WWE could bring back even more of their formers stars following the returns of Johnny Gargano, Dakota Kai, Hit Row, Braun Strowman, and many, many others, one performer has consistently ranked number one on the majority of fans’ wish lists: Bray Wyatt. That’s right, despite being linked to seemingly […]

If there’s one person Jey Uso doesn’t like even a little bit, it’s Sami Zayn. He doesn’t like that he keeps trying to hang out with The Usos, likes his buddying up with Roman Reigns even less, and hates with every fiber of his being that the Laval, Quebec, Canada native calls himself The Honorary […]

In case you haven’t heard, Roman Reigns is officially set to wrestle Logan Paul at WWE’s Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia in November. Paul “Triple H” Levesque and company threw a boxing-style press conference in Las Vegas to set the stage for the “spectacle,” the entire Bloodline, from The Usos, to Paul Heyman, to Solo […]

Dakota Kai has officially been one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions for five days. She won the strap alongside fellow Damage Control member IYO SKY on Monday Night RAW, defeating Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah for the belt many presumed they should have won in the first place, and now has the weekend […]

Logan Paul is set to fight Roman Reigns in a WWE bout on November 5th. Paul’s ascension through the WWE world has been swift. But Reigns is one of the best fighters in the sport. Jake Paul shared his honest thoughts on Logan receiving the opportunity to fight Reigns. “Logan is the definition of anything […]

After slowly but surely watching the buildup for the better part of a week both online and on SmackDown, Dave Meltzer’s reporting has been vindicated, as WWE has officially set the table for Roman Reigns to face off against Logan Paul at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 5th. Though there is technically another […]

After having her WWE Tag Team Championship belt taken away by Dakota Kai and IYO SKY on RAW, Raquel Rodriquez wanted revenge on Bayley and Damage Control. She watched Bayley consistently interfere in their tag team match, watched Aliyah suffer an injury that currently has her on the shelf, and watched the world complain that […]

After Clash at the Castle, it’s hard to argue that any act on RAW is hotter than Bayley and Damage Control. The trio defeated Alexa Bliss, Asuka, and RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair,  have run through every opponent on the RAW roster who has gotten in their way save a controversial loss to Raquel Rodriguez […]

After making a surprising return to NXT after then-North American Champion Carmelo Hayes took down his expected opponent, Wes Lee, on the Anniversary Edition of NXT 2.0, Solo Sikoa entered the ring with one thing on his mind: adding a bit more gold to The Bloodline’s table. Though the match was not without its intrigue, […]

After spending basically his entire WWE career as the heavily-scripted mouthpiece for Vince McMahon, Michael Cole has been freed up to actually commentate matches and express his personality on the mic for the first time since, well, probably 1999, when he was chosen to be the play-by-play commentator for SmackDown. The fans have finally turned […]

Extra! Extra! Read all about it: according to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, Roman Reigns’ next feud is going to be with none other than Logan Paul, who is reportedly planned to wrestle “The Tribal Cheif” at the 2022 iteration of Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Now granted, is it, shall we say, unusual […]

When Braun Strowman was released from WWE in June of 2021, he made a bold declaration to the professional wrestling world, as passed along by Wrestling Inc: I’ve said it time and time again: the day I take my wrestling boots off for WWE is the day I stop wrestling. I will not wrestle for […]

After an eventful showing on WWE’s Monday Night RAW, Kevin Owens and Johnny Gargano stopped by WWE’s The Bump to throw together an hour of unhinged entertainment. They talked bandanas, threw shoes, and discussed just how little Austin Theory understands the mindset needed to have longevity as a WWE superstar, but sandwiched in the middle […]
