After spending over half a decade in the WWE system, Liv Morgan has officially won her first championship with the company.

The Austin Theory mega-push is officially underway. After months of building him up, the WWE all but announced their intentions for the former EVOLVE champion in the 2022 Money in the Bank.

When WWE’s Money in the Bank went off the air, fans at home celebrated a fun Premium Live Event.

Kevin Owens has truly been an MVP of WWE. The superstar can put on a great match, is a fantastic promo, and can turn even the most ridiculous ideas into pure gold.

With Money in the Bank officially in the books, fans across the WWE Universe have one question and one question alone coming out of the Premium Live Event: Who was the mystery man in the cryptic and spooky video package?

After all seven participants came down to the ring before the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match on WWE‘s Premium Live Event with the exact same name, it looked like fans were in store for an incredible match.

When Ronda Rousey pulled out the win over Natalya in the penultimate match of the 2022 edition of WWE‘s Money in the Bank, it was a predictable yet fun way to close out the fifth match of an all-around successful premium live event. … but then it happened.

When The Usos and the Street Profits are given a Pay-Per-View match’s worth of time to show their stuff in a WWE ring, you know it’s going to be sweet. Arguably the two best tag teams in the WWE Universe – no offense to New Day – Jimmy, Jey, Tez, and Dawkins have shared the […]

For some reason, Theory, the United States Champion of WWE, decided he wanted to test his mettle against “The Almighty” Bobby Lashley in the wrestling ring. Okay, technically it was in a wrestling ring, but he didn’t want to actually wrestle against the former WWE champion. No, for some reason, Theory wanted to go up […]

When seven members of the WWE Universe get in a ring together with about a dozen ladders littered around the squared circle, the results can be chaotic. Why? Well, because ladders, like children and animals, are notoriously hard to work with, especially when they are on camera in front of a large audience. And yet, […]

Money in the Bank is a special premium live event in the WWE Universe.

There was a time when Io Shirai was not only the top female performer in/on NXT but was considered a favorite to become a fixture of a WWE television too, be that on RAW or SmackDown. On paper, she had it all; she had a good look, was a fantastic worker, and could play the […]

As boos rained down from the fans assembled at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, Max Durpi finally debuted his Maximum Male Models, Mace and Mansoor, now stylized as ma.cé and mån.sôör, onto the WWE Universe, and needless to say, it did not go particularly well. With no goal but to “titillate the juices of […]

Las Vegas is a special place for WWE superstar Happy Corbin; it’s where he recaptured his fortune, regained his dignity, and cashed in his old name and disheveled looks for a much “Happier” demeanor and some Gucci threads.

Roman Reigns is the WWE‘s franchise player.

Professional wrestling has always dealt with its share of controversy.

For a time, it looked like Cesaro was going to be the face of Max Dupri’s Maximum Male Models on WWE‘s SmackDown.

You have to give it to Kevin Ownes; he’s never been one who is afraid to speak his mind on WWE television.

While WWE Raw kicked off this week with a Men’s Last Chance Battle Royal for the penultimate spot in Money in the Bank, for the Main Event, it was the women’s turn with a Last Chance Elimination Match of their own, all for the eighth and final spot in the Women’s Money in the Bank […]

John Cena wasn’t universally popular when he was a regular performer at WWE.

When the men formerly known as Daniel Bryan and The Big Show made an appearance on RAW, at least via video package, to wish John Cena well on 20 years with WWE, it felt like only a matter of time before Chris Jericho, “La Champion” of AEW, found his way back onto the Titantron to […]

When John Cena debuted in WWE 20 years ago, AEW wasn’t a thing. Many of the promotion’s biggest stars, and some of their commentators too, were employed by companies like TNA, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and yes, WWE, where they built up legacies worthy of a place in wrestling history. So, when a promotion like […]

Fans have been wanting to see Johnny Gargano in an AEW ring since he initially became a free agent back in December of 2021 and time and time again, they have been let down.
