After being controversially cheated out of the Intercontinental Championship on the season premiere of SmackDown, Sheamus had a lot of ill-will towards GUNTHER and Imperium heading into WWE’s Extreme Rules “Premium Live Event.” Teaming with his “two boys,” Ridge Holland and Butch, opposite the team of “The Ring General,” Ludwig Kaiser, and Ridge Holland, Sheamus […]

To paraphrase Bill Murray in Ghostbusters: Karrion Kross came (to WWE’s Extreme Rules), he saw (Drew Mcintyre in the ring), he kicked some (Drew McIntyre) A–. Earning his first true evaluation since returning WWE in August – no offense to Drew Gulak – Kross got into the ring with one of the baddest babyfaces on […]

While their match may be forever be overshadowed by what immediately proceeded it, as you’d hope that Bray Wyatt would only have to return to the WWE Universe once, Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins gave it their all in a Fight Pit match at WWE’s Extreme Rules. Taking part in by far the most elaborate […]

Folks, it’s officially official: Bray Wyatt is back in the WWE Universe. All of the White Rabbit clues weren’t some sort of swerve, it didn’t end up being related Karrion Kross, or Aleister/Malakai Black, or any other alternative plan, and the company didn’t deliver some half-you-know-what’d attempt to keep the mystery going for the sake […]

When Edge gets into the ring with any opponents, regardless of age, experience, or pedigree, he’s going to give it all he has. After putting his career on hold for almost a decade, not by choice but by medical necessity, the man born Adam Copeland is embracing his second life in the WWE ring by […]

In the second of two championship matches booked for Extreme Rules, WWE presented fans with one simple question: who would be the face of RAW? Would it remain Bianca Belair, the uber babyface who represents the company on College GameDay, in Target commercials, and as the face of more than a few charities? Or Bayley, […]

What happens when a participant in a strap match refuses to put on the strap? Does the match just start without the stipulation being fulfilled? Or is it a case where the bell won’t ring until the rules are fulfilled? Well, the WWE Universe found out firsthand at Extreme Rules, as Karrion Kross, in a […]

When Liv Morgan declared her desire to wrestle Ronda Rousey in an Extreme Rules match at WWE’s conveniently named “Premium Live Event,” Extreme Rules, it was always going to be an uphill battle to retain her belt. Sure, Morgan has proven her hardcore credential somewhat in the leadup to the match, as her big-time spot […]

The Miz is a heel. Yes, he tries to be personable, maybe even likable, on his reality television show, Miz and Mrs., but at the core of things, WWE fans aren’t tuning in to RAW and/or SmackDown to see the sympathetic Mike Mizanin, even if he is being stalked relentlessly by the enigmatic Dexter Lumis. […]

When news broke that WWE was going to start off Extreme Rules with a “Good Old Fashioned Bonnybrook Match,” mostly due to the presence of barstools, barrels, and shillelaghs as far as the eye could see around the ring, the 15,000 and change fans assembled in the Wells Fargo Center had to have known they […]

Frankie Kazarian hasn’t been on AEW television – either Rampage or Dynamite – since all the way back in June, when he took part in the Royal Rampage on the show following Blood and Guts – a match he obviously lost. While Kaz did wrestle a few matches on AEW Dark Elevation, with wins over […]

After a summer full of strife, ill feelings, and more than a few incredibly personal digs, Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle will finally duke it out on the most appropriate stage yet, in a Fight Pit match at WWE Extreme Rules. Soon, the time for talking will be over, the time for action will be […]

After weeks of anticipation, it’s finally here: Extreme Rules is upon us. Soon fans will find out which members of the WWE Universe have a taste for violence, which performers are able to take advantage of their match’s stipulation, and who – or what – is the White Rabbit, even though most fans have a […]

GUNTHER is a heel in the WWE Universe. He’s meant to get jeers, not cheers, from audiences, and even if he’s captured the hearts of more than a few fans of professional wrestling who like his big guy persona, his goal will always be to serve as the final boss for some worthy babyface to […]

After being away from television for a few weeks due to ending up on the wrong side of a “Loser Leaves Town” match against the Tony D’Angelo Family on NXT, Legado del Fantasma returned to the WWE Universe in a big way when the trio of Santos Escobar, Cruz Del Toro, and Joaquin Wilde attacked […]

After enjoying a shared hatred for the Damage CTRL trio of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY, Raquel Rodriquez and Shotzi don’t-call-her-Blackheart finally shared the ring in a right proper match versus Xia Li and Sonya DeVille, Meghan Morant of SmackDown and the SmackDown LowDown asked the duo if they aimed to make a statement […]

After Paul “Triple H” Levesque introduced the first of two clues in the White Rabbit mystery into the WWE Universe, the audience watching SmackDown both in the arena and from the comforts of their home were treated to the arrival of The Bloodline, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman, and Sami Zayn for […]

After officially breaking through the cracks of his previous facade to reveal the leather jackets and Dr. Dre-style “West Coast Whistle” underneath, Max Dupri officially left Max Dupri in the past to give fans what they want: LA Knight, yeah. Taking part in a surprise segment that saw the “Namer of Dummies” lay out the […]

When the promotion-proclaimed “season premiere” of SmackDown opened up with Paul “Triple H” Levesque in the middle of the ring, it felt like something consequential was about to happen. Would the 14-time champion discuss his plans for the future, call out a current star, or maybe even debut a new one? None of the above, […]

When news broke that Gable Steveson was attempting to return to the University of Minnesota for the spring semester of the 2022-23 NCAA calendar year, it led to more than a few questions about his future in the WWE. On paper, Steveson was a classic Vince McMahon hire, a Kurt Angle for the modern era, […]

After almost seven years with the company, WWE has officially released Nigel McGuinness from his contract, according to Pro Wrestling Insider. A commentator who mostly worked NXT, Main Event, and 215 Live over his commentary career, McGuinness leaves the greater WWE Universe with little fanfare, as the company is rapidly retooling their commentating teams ahead […]

Paul “Triple H” Levesque loves specticle. He booked Logan Paul in the main event of WWE’s Crown Jewel, scheduled a very interesting press conference in Las Vegas to hype up the proceedings MMA Style, booked Bad Bunny for an exemplary match at WrestleMania 37, and even leaned into the supremacy of The Bloodline since taking […]

Though Ric Flair may have wrestled his final match in a surprisingly vital fight with Andrade El Idolo, Jeff Jarrett, and Jay Lethal, the WWE Hall of Famer will forever be a professional wrestler. When he’s not stylin’ and profilin’, hawking all sorts of goods from insurance to, um, enhancement products, and collaborating with everyone […]

“Andrade is a terrible guy,” Tony Khan told Robbie Fox on the My Mom’s Basement show. “So if Andrade loses this match (with Pres10 Vance of the Dark Order) he will leave AEW forever and frankly, you know, the way things have been gone with Andrade and the ways things have carried on, I don’t […]

Kevin Nash is a retired professional wrestler most well-known for his time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Also known for his in-ring name Diesel, he was one of the founding members of the New World Order (nWo), one of the greatest wrestling stables in history. In this piece, we’ll be […]

Marty Jannetty is a long-tenured professional wrestler who has worked for the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). He is most well-known for being half of “The Rockers” alongside wrestling great Shawn Michaels. In this piece, we’ll be taking a look at Marty Jannetty’s net worth in 2022. […]

Rey Mysterio is having a tough time in the WWE Universe. His friendship with Edge has hit a snag since his son, Dominik Mysterio, turned on the “Rated R Superstar” at Clash at the Castle, his goings on are constantly being messed with by Judgement Day, and his home life can’t be all that great […]

On a “Premium Live Event” defined by deep-seated feuds and extreme violence, there isn’t a more contentious match scheduled for this year’s running of WWE’s Extreme Rules than Seth Rollins versus Matt Riddle. Since the duo really started getting into it following the injury absences of Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes over the Summer, Rollins […]

Welp, it’s official: Johnny Gargano’s undefeated streak is officially over. He won’t go down as an undefeated WWE Superstar, his record will be forever tarnished, and, after watching his wife, Candice LeRae, lose her match against Dakota Kai thanks to interference from Bayley and IYO SKY, it’s pretty safe to say the Gargano household isn’t […]

Another week, another QR code briefly flashing across the screen on a WWE show to add yet another puzzle piece to the White Rabbit mystery. So what can it be this time? Does it just say, “Bray Wyatt is coming back at Extreme Rules,” as some fans hope to see, or is this instead another […]

WWE’s title picture is in kind of a weird spot right now. As fans of the company already know, both of the promotion’s main roster brands, RAW and SmackDown, have a main title, an “undercard” title, and a tag team title, too, for good measure. Factor in the 24/7 Title, which has thankfully been placed […]

According to PW Insider, Max Dupri is no more, as WWE has already removed the name from their internal roster. Disappointing? You bet; for how weird Dupri was at times and for how uncomfortable his work made some folks feel, the fashionable manager unabashedly leaned into the character he was given and made the most […]

When Sting debuted in AEW at Winter Is Coming in December of 2020, it felt like a massive deal. Sure, that particular show was always going to be a big one, as more than a few fans had a feeling that Kenny Omega was going to take the strap off of Jon Moxley to begin […]

After months of anticipation, Karrion Kross and Drew McIntyre are finally scheduled to face off, in a strap match no less, within the WWE Universe. Finally, the timing will be right to see who the next-biggest star on SmackDown is behind Roman Reigns and who is the rightful challenger for the “Head of the Table’s” […]

GUNTHER and the rest of Imperium, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci, are in the middle of a dominant run on SmackDown. The team, which officially expanded back into a trio at WWE’s Clash at the Castle, have been feuding in a rather one-sided way with Sheamus and his Brawling Brutes, and yet, through it all, […]

Raquel Rodriquez does not like WWE’s Damage Control one bit. She doesn’t like Bayley, the team’s leader, she doesn’t like IYO SKY or Dakota Kai, the former developmental standouts that she spent time with in NXT, and she really doesn’t like how ever since the trio got together, the WWE Universe, regardless of show, has […]

Folks, Ariel Helwani has some breaking news that will make WWE fans very excited indeed: “Breaking: Daniel Cormier will serve as guest referee for next Saturday’s Fight Pit Match between Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins at WWE’s Extreme Rules in Philly. Oct. 8. No, seriously. It’s really happening. Oct. 8. Incredible.” Seriously? UFC Hall of […]

While he’s largely been kept busy in WWE wrestling alongside his buddy Austin Theory and Alpha Academy partner in crime Otis, Chad Gable is nothing but a showman. He likes to take a microphone and work the crowd, he loves to insult the intelligence of whatever state he’s in, and when the opportunity presents itself, […]

Before he was “Freakin’” – a moniker he isn’t particularly enthralled with – and before he was the Monday Night Messiah of RAW, Seth Rollins was “The Beast Slayer” of WWE. He was riding high on a series of big victories, including winning a pair of championship victories against Brock Lesnar, and was acting as […]
