When Braun Strowman vs. Omos was announced for WWE Crown Jewel, there were only so many ways the match could go.

As improbable as it may have sounded a few months ago, Judgement Day might just be the most cohesive unit on the RAW brand, serving as an interesting foil to SmackDown‘s Bloodline, which features the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos.

It’s here, it’s finally here: WWE Crown Jewel is upon us. While the show is coming a bit earlier than the usual WWE “Premium Live Event,” what with the show being broadcast live on Peacock from Saudi Arabia, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has assembled an eight-match card that features a little bit of everything for […]

When LA Knight stopped playing games and started getting real, dropping his ill-fated Max Durpi name, and Maximum Male Models, Mace and Mansoor, it created questions about his former faction’s place in the company moving forward. Would Paul “Triple H” Levesque ditch the Models from WWE once and for all, or did he have something […]

Just when you thought there wasn’t enough wrestling content to keep fans happy on a Friday night, NBC’s Young Rock comes along to not only deliver the sort of stories about the life of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson that are rarely conveyed on WWE SmackDown or AEW Rampage but also consistently delivers unique wrestling cameos […]

Otis is a lot of things in the WWE Universe; he’s a former member of Heavy Machinery, the former Kayfabe boyfriend of current NXT Woman’s Champion Mandy Rose, and Chad Gabel’s current prized pupal in Alpha Academy, WWE’s premier scholastic faction this side of Chase U. Fortunately for Otis, his learning has extended outside of […]

Just when you thought the AEW Galaxy was done with older heel managers who wanted to destroy the promotion from the inside – no offense, Dan Lambert – who but Double J himself, Jeff Jarrett, showed up on Dynamite to take things up a notch like only he can. First, some context; after striking up […]

Though some are still desperately hoping to see the return of “The Bruiserweight,” Pete Dunne, now wrestling as a diminutive bulldog of the Brawling Brutes, Butch, is loving his current run in the WWE. Sure, he isn’t wrestling singles classics against the likes of Tyler Bate, WALTER, or Trent Seven anymore as he used to […]

Despite being a steady presence of NXT as part of Andre Chase’s Chase U, Bodhi Hayward was shockingly released from the WWE Universe on Tuesday, November 1st.

Though Logan Paul hasn’t even wrestled Roman Reigns yet, with his third professional match scheduled against the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion at Crown Jewel, the social media star already has his sights set on a bigger opponent than the man he dubbed “The Goat” in the leadup to their match announcement: Dwayne “The Rock” […]

When Johnny Gargano promised that he would deliver a big reveal to the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW if The Miz didn’t own up to what was going on with Dexter Lumis, he did not disappoint.

When Karrion Kross takes the ring at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, it will mark three months to the day since Scarlett and “The Killer” arrived in WWE. While that may not seem like a long time, and in a way it isn’t, a lot has happened since that fateful day in August; the White […]

There are a lot of people responsible for the start of AEW. There’s WWE for releasing Cody Rhodes, NJPW and the Bullet Club for allowing him to work with Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, Ring of Honor for helping to fund All Out, and most obviously of all, Tony Khan, who is the head […]

On the penultimate edition of SmackDown before Crown Jewel, Paul Heyman was bothered about his ward Roman Reigns’ forthcoming match against Logan Paul for the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship.

While The Bloodline is dominating the WWE Universe at the top of the Heavyweight picture, the Tag Team picture, and even in the midcard, where Solo Sikoa is just biding his time before he secures either the Intercontinental Championship or the United States Championship from either GUNTHER or Seth Rollins, the group’s reach doesn’t just […]

The Great Muta’s farewell tour just added one heck of a new stop as, according to the official Twitter account of Pro Wrestling Noah, none other than Shinsuke Nakamura of WWE will be returning to Japan to face off against the mist-spitting legend, who declared his intentions in a firey promo. “Is this a dream […]

With the prospects of CM Punk returning to AEW growing less and less tenable with each passing day, with Dave Meltzer going so far as to suggest that punk has been “voted off the island” by a locker room – including Chris Jericho – that basically wants nothing to do with him moving forward, fans […]

On the penultimate episode of WWE SmackDown before Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, Jey Uso wasn’t being very “Uce-y.” What, you may ask, is “Uce-y?” Well, that’s hard to explain, really, as Sami Zayn sort of made it up on the spot in a hilarious adlib that got the entire Bloodline laughing their you-know-whats-off while […]

Rey Mysterio just can’t catch a break.

After fighting off the team at every turn, both […]

Ahead of managing Legado del Fantasma down to the ring for their match against Hit Row plus a mystery third man – who ended up being “The King of Strong Style,” Shinsuke Nakamura instead of the hot name on Twitter, Carmelo Hayes – Zelena Vega sat down with the fine folks over at Busted Open […]

Bray Wyatt has been back in the WWE Universe for a little under a month, and yet, for fans of the third-generation Superstar, it’s like he never left; his segments are, like, insanely over, his reactions from every audience who has watched him appear have been second to none, and according to The Wrestling Observer, […]

In case you somehow forgot, Ronda Rousey booked herself an open challenge on WWE SmackDown in order to prove herself a fighting champion of the blue brand’s appropriately named SmackDown Women’s Championship, but who would take up the challenge? Would it be Liv Morgan, the woman she defeated at Extreme Rules for the belt? Or […]

Karl Anderson and his “Good Brother” Doc-now-Luke Gallows are officially back in WWE.

What is going on with Miro in AEW? He went from the hottest new acquisition in the company, the biggest, baddest dude in the promotion with a god complex and the muscle to back it up, to a part-timer who occasionally shows up on Dynamite or Rampage but hasn’t really had a long-term storyline since […]

When Seth Rollins isn’t doing damage on WWE as the current United States Champion, he’s watching the NFL, where he’s one of the more notable fans of the Chicago Bears. In 2022, being a Bears fan might be more challenging than being the United States Champion. Bogged down in a three-game losing streak with a […]

Though the WWE Universe is still reeling from the loss of the weird, non-bearded son of Ernie Jr. that no one knew they needed but instantly fell in love with, Ezekiel, the return of Elias has been a relative success on RAW, earning a huge pop in his triumphant return before wrestling a solid match […]
