When WWE signed Ronda Rousey, it was supposed to be a game-changer. One of the most popular MMA fighters of all time who quite literally changed the face of the industry forever, Rousey’s addition to WWE fully shattered any remnants of the “Divas Division” and boldly declared that women in The Fed could be legit […]

When WWE signed former UFC champion Ronda Rousey to a contract a few years ago, it was a huge deal bringing a combat fighter over to the world of sports entertainment. When Rousey made her debut at Wrestlemania 34, it was much better than people expected. She put on a showcase against Triple H and […]

Tony Khan is a busy man; he’s got a role with the Jacksonville Jaguars, a role with Fulgham FC, and… oh yeah, the multi-hyphenate at the top of AEW, the first promotion that has fielded a legitimate challenge to the supremacy of WWE since WCW closed up shop some 20 years ago. When the draft […]

Though the WWE Universe is still reeling from the fallout of Survivor Series WarGames, with big-time wins, big-time betrayals, and one of the most controversial title changes in recent memory, there’s another big-time bout that’s still on the WWE calendar that could play a big role in who ends up holding the Intercontinental Championship when […]

After trying to get A.J. Styles to turn to the dark side of the Heel-Babyface paradigm for weeks, Finn Balor finally got a chance to face off against his fellow former Bullet Club leader at a WWE “Premium Live Event” and needless to say, the match was great. Sandwiched between a firey female WarGames match […]

At Survivor Series WarGames, Sami Zayn officially made his intentions known in the WWE Universe: “The Honorary Uce” is pushing all of his chips to “The Head of the Table.” That’s right, despite showing no real signs of dissension with the group he’s been slowly but surely trying to join since April, fans wondered whether […]

“And I wanted to make mention of new United States Champion Austin Theory. Unfortunately for him, his career was dead two weeks ago, (now) it’s resurrected, so that’s a pretty good feat for him. He’s gonna walk on water next, it’s gonna be good. ” – these words, spoken by WWE’s Chief Content Officer Paul […]

And just that, it was done; WWE’s Survivor Series WarGames is officially over, and needless to say, fans of The Fed the world over will be talking about this one for a long, long time. From Becky Lynch’s big-time return in a huge way to the WWE Universe as the ringer of Team Bianca Belair […]

Austin Theory. Austin “A-Town Down” Theory. Austin “Freakin” Theory; no matter what you call him, the prized adoptive son of Vince McMahon, the man responsible for the worst cash-in in the history of the Money in the Bank contract, just did the unthinkable and made himself the youngest two-time United States Champion in the history […]

Ronda Rousey is one of the baddest women on the planet; she was a transcendent force in the MMA world, parlayed her talents into roles in movies like The Fast and the Furious 7, and has since taken the professional wrestling world by storm as well, with three different title reigns as a WWE Superstar […]

When Michael Cole ran through the histories of A.J. Styles and Finn Balor, not just in WWE but in New Japan Pro Wrestling, where the duo were both members and eventually leaders of Bullet Club, it proved one thing and one thing only: this isn’t your Daddy’s WWE. Now sure, it’s borderline impossible to accurately […]

To paraphrase an old saying, when in a WWE WarGames Match, do as the WarGames do. After reinvigorating the WarGames format in NXT during his run as the head booker, Triple H shocked the world once more when he announced that Survivor Series would feature not one but two of the double-ringed cage matches, one […]

Paul Heyman doesn’t think Roman Reigns gets the respect he deserves from the WWE Universe and the greater professional wrestling world as a whole. Now sure, maybe that’s just a manager hyping up his client or the sort of old-man-yelling-at-clouds schtick that Rodney Dangerfield had mastered by the 1980s, but when talking to Jonathan Snowden […]

Though it feels like they’ve been working together forever, Sami Zayn has only been part of WWE’s The Bloodline for roughly six months, when he started hanging around the faction shortly after WrestleMania. Since then, Zayn has weaseled his way into (almost) every member of the faction’s heart, including Solo Sikoa, who wasn’t even a […]

Though it feels like just this month the WWE Universe invaded Saudi Arabia for a Roman Reigns-Logan Paul-led card at Crown Jewel – don’t check your calender, it was this month – Paul “Triple H” Levesque and his creative team are back at it again and this time, they’re bringing an extra ring for good […]

When LA Knight was brutally assaulted following his in-ring interaction with Bray Wyatt on WWE SmackDown, there was only one person who could have been responsible for the interaction: The Fiend himself. On paper, all of the evidence pointed in Wyatt’s direction; Wyatt was just disrespected by Knight, and then the new mask from Wyatt’s […]

And just like that, the final spot in the 2022 WarGames match is set, as none other than “Big Tim” Becky Lynch will team up with her WWE SummerSlam opponent-turned-friend Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Asuka – who she has a very long and expansive history with – and Mia Yim in their double-caged encounter with […]

If there’s one thing WWE fans should be thankful for in 2022, it’s Sami Zayn. Though he started off the year nondescript enough, feuding with Johnny Knoxville in a comedy angle that ultimately paid off in a very unusual match at WrestleMania that featured mousetraps, bowling balls, and other Jack*ss-style shenanigans, Zayn teamed up with […]

Thanksgiving is a day to get together, grab some food, and celebrate family, but what if you think your father is a no-good, deadbeat piece of you-know-what? Well, if you’re Dominik Mysterio and your father is Rey Mysterio, you bring your new female friend to dinner whether you’re invited or not – plus a WWE […]

Though Marina Shafir has technically been a member of the AEW Galaxy for almost a year now, making her debut on AEW Dark on December 14th, 2021, to many, her biggest contribution to the professional wrestling world remains her run in NXT from 2018-21, when she and fellow MMA fighter Jessamyn Duke signed with the […]

WWE fans, it’s official: Mia Yim is back… again. That’s right, after initially returning to WWE with a shockingly similar presentation to her schtick on the indies and from Impact Wrestling, WWE made the, um, unusual decision to change her name from Yim to Michin – literally “crazy” in Korean – in order to… sell […]

Mia Yim has only been back in WWE for a few weeks, and yet, her current run has featured far more visibility than her last one. No longer hidden behind a mask or tasked with trying to get over in Retribution, Yim landed a choice spot in The OC alongside A.J. Styles, Luke Gallows, and […]

After having to suffer through surprise attacks from Bobby Lashley and Austin Theory in subsequent weeks, the WWE United States Champion, Seth Rollins, was afforded a chance to talk to Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick about how things have been going on RAW and why he agreed to defend his title in a three-way match […]

Though she’s only been a member of the AEW broadcast team for a little over a month, it’s safe to say the addition of Renee Paquette, who went by the name Renee Young in WWE, has been a resounding success. Working largely as a backstage interviewer who has expanded out to some sitdown interviews in […]

When videos emerged online of 57-year-old “Stone Cold” Steve Austin working out, fans assumed it meant one thing and one thing only: WWE had struck up a deal to bring “The Texas Rattlesnake” back for a second final match. The minds of fans began to race, “who would be the next opponent? Would it be […]

In this piece, we’ll be taking a look […]

Folks, it’s official; Kevin Owens will be the 10th and final member of the men’s namesake match at WWE Survivor Series WarGames. While fans both at home and in the arena weren’t too surprised by the appearance of “The Prize Fighter,” as he was the most logical 10th man for the match, his status heading […]

It has been just over a month since the man born Shaun Ricker ditched the Maximum Male Models to officially become the man he was always meant to be in the WWE Universe, LA Knight, once more. Since then, he’s wrestled three matches, a win over Mansoor, a win over Ricochet, and a loss to […]

While members of AEW were sniping at her for being physically unable to defend her title as the current “real” AEW Women’s World Champion, Thunder Rosa made one of her fairly routine appearances at Busted Open Radio and, when asked about which wrestler won the week, she gave an answer that will make NXT fans […]

The addition of Sami Zayn to The Bloodline drew plenty of ire from fans. After all, The Bloodline has been intact for well over a year as the dominant stable. We’ve seen the 5-star feud between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso. We’ve seen the return of Jimmy, officially reuniting the Usos and making the Bloodline […]

After AEW Dynamite went off the air, MJF took the ring alongside Tony Khan and cut one heck of a babyface promo after his in-ring interaction with Jon Moxley but before their match at Full Gear for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. “A lot of bullsh*t has gone on.” MJF said to the crowd after […]

Folks, the Good Brothers are officially in WWE. That’s right, while the news of Doc-now-Luke Gallows and “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson jumping ship from NJPW and Impact to The Fed is nothing new, as the return of The OC is so well-worn that they’ve already worked a “Premium Live Event” and added a fourth member […]

When Logan Paul took the ring against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel, it changed the tenor of the WWE Universe forever. While some questioned why Paul “Triple H” Levesque was so eager to push a social media star with just two matches on his resume against the winningest champion in this era of WWE, when […]

When “Stone Cold” Steve Austin took the ring at WrestleMania 38 for an episode of The K.O. Show, WWE fans weren’t sure what to expect from “The Rattlesnake.” Though the segment wasn’t officially billed as a match, it was the final segment of a stacked WrestleMania card that included Vince McMahon’s return to in-ring action, […]

Not too long ago, Austin Theory was dubbed the “future of the WWE” and was hand-picked by Vince McMahon to be the next young superstar in the company. For a while, it seemed this would be the case. Theory was winning mid-card championships and even becoming the youngest Money in the Bank winner in history. […]

When WWE announced the signing of Logan Paul, the internet went crazy. Fans overreacted to the signing, thinking it was just a big publicity stunt. At the end of the day, WWE was bringing in a YouTube content creator who was ultimately taking the spotlight away from wrestlers committed to the sport year-round, so it […]

When Austin Theory ran out with his Money in the Bank Briefcase during the final segment of WWE RAW broadcast live from beautiful Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, it changed the course of his WWE run and of WWE’s briefcase-housed open contract forever.
