On Tuesday’s edition of NXT, Tony D’Angelo, the most made man in WWE, as some might say, gave his buddies Troy “Two Dimes” Donovan and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo a pair of shiny new gold watches as a sort of predictive award for the next accomplishment he wants to achieve in The Fed: Championship gold. The […]

On Wednesday night, Raj Giri, the founder of Wrestling Inc. and Fight Line, took to Twitter to share some rumors he’s been hearing from his sources: Sasha Banks, the five-time RAW Woman’s Champion, one-time Smackdown Champion, and three-time Tag Team Champion has been released by WWE. Though the rumors haven’t been confirmed–as even Sean Ross […]

When it comes to professional wrestling main events, there’s failing to stick the landing, and then there’s the conclusion to this week’s WWE Raw. After two-plus hours of wrestling, promos, backstage segments, and hype videos, the main event is supposed to elevate the energy up to a big crescendo for the finale that really ties […]

Bianca Belair’s WWE Raw Women’s Championship run has been filled with big bout after big bout. She’s taken care of Becky Lynch, beaten Asuka, and, at Hell in a Cell, defeated Becky Lynch and Asuka to keep her title run alive and well. But at Money in the Bank, Belair has a match on the […]

Seth Rollins has rapidly become the WWE‘s answer to the Green Goblin. He dresses unnecessarily lavish, makes schemes, and cackles like a cartoon villain in an animated Disney movie. For years now, and especially since his program with Cody Rhodes that ended with a sledgehammer assault on the “American Nightmare’s” torn pec, Rollins has gone […]

After lying about being his brother Elias on last week’s edition of RAW to secure a match versus Kevin Owens, Ezekiel took the ring on Monday night and gave the Zeek lovers in attendance exactly what they wanted: Sports entertainment. Despite taking shot after shot from Corey Graves for his lying ways, Ezekiel put on […]

Things haven’t been going particularly well for Becky Lynch as of late. She lost to Bianca Belair at Wrestlemania, lost to Bianca Belair and Asuka at Hell in a Cell, and, in a twist of fate that still has Bryan Alvarez floored, lost to Dana Brooke in an impromptu 24/7 Title match mere moments after […]

Whether you love him, hate him, or fall somewhere in between, John Cena is undoubtedly the biggest star WWE has produced in the last 15 years, with his rise from “Ruthless Aggression” to “You Can’t See Me” to an international movie star a thing of wrestling beauty. And yet, no matter how much money his […]

Riddle is looking to make a reservation for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. He’s bounced between Raw and SmakDown in search of a title shot, and no matter what obstacle has been placed in his path, be that The Miz, Sami Zayn, or The Usos, his pursuit of defending Randy Orton’s honor has remained one […]

Once upon a time, the man AEW fans would eventually know as Malakai Black looked like one of the brightest stars in the WWE developmental system. He had an incredible look, a jaw-dropping presentation featuring thousands of candles on an LED wall, and the musical stylings of Code Orange, who created one of the greatest original […]

In recent years, seeing the words “WWE has released ___“ on one’s newsfeed has always been a cause for concern. “Who got kicked out this time?” “Is this going to be the next big wave of releases?” “Who will even be left?” are all understandable questions to be asked. However, when Dave Meltzer of Wrestling […]

Despite only being established earlier this year, the budding WWE faction Judgment Day has already experienced a series of swerves that completely changed their makeup.

Karrion Kross was supposed to be a star in WWE. He was expertly built up to be an unbeatable monster by Triple H, and then, after just nine matches on Raw – plus a few more that were either dark, on live events, or on Main Event – his time in WWE was over; he […]

If there’s one thing the AEW tag team partnership of Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood, known professionally as FTR, love more than anything else, it’s wrestling history. Their gimmick back in NXT/WWE, at least before Vince McMahon tried to rebrand them as literal clowns, was “no flips, just hits,” and their throwback style of wrestling […]

When Cesaro opted to walk away from WWE when his contract expired back in February, it left more than a few fans wondering what the future would hold for the man born and formerly known professionally as Claudio Castagnoli. Would he jump ship to AEW and rekindle his long-dormant feud with Eddie Kingston from back […]

After playing Roman Reigns’ music to distract Riddle in a tag team bout versus the Usos that also featured Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn was named an honorary Uso and given a task that’s much easier said than done: Beat Riddle and banish him from SmackDown forever. Earning the main event bout in a contest that […]

When Walter changed his name to Gunther on an episode of NXT 2.0 back in January, it left many a fan confused about his future in WWE.

When Ronda Rousey took to the wring to discuss her upcoming bout at Money in the Bank versus Natalya, it was only a matter of time before one of the many challengers for her belt, be that her aforementioned future foe or someone else, hit the ring to interrupt the “Rowdy One.” On this particular […]

When news broke that Cody Rhodes suffered a serious pec injury that could keep him out of action for the foreseeable future, it put a damper on a surprisingly compelling return to WWE by the well-traveled former AEW EVP. When Rhodes opted to still wrestle his match with Seth Rollins at Hell in the Cell […]

Qualifying matches in WWE and in any wrestling promotion are easy; win the match, and you qualify for whatever is up for grabs, lose the match and you don’t. It’s black and white, day, and night, and really shouldn’t have much ambiguity one way or another. But what happens when two wrestlers are disqualified at […]

Roman Reigns hasn’t publically been in a WWE ring since mid-may, when the “Head of the Table” took on Drew McIntyre for a live event in Iowa. Since that match, Reigns has missed Hell in a Cell, missed every episode of Raw and Smackdown, and now, will reportedly miss WWE’s next marquee event, Money in […]

In the WWE, superstar names are a rather fickle thing. It’s not uncommon for wrestlers to change their in-ring name to better fit a character they’re playing. The ever-changing nature of these kayfabe names make it hard for some promoters to keep up with their materials, as we found out recently. WWE fans were quick […]

No, instead, Moon became Athena, the “Fallen Goddess” who once took the Indies by storm before taking her talents to The […]

When WWE signed the wrestler then known as Rok-C to a developmental contract with NXT, it was a pretty big deal in the world of professional wrestling.

WWE superstar Apollo Crews made a shocking return to NXT on Tuesday night. Crews has been on the main roster since 2016, when he was called up from the NXT black and gold brand. Cruise never won a championship in NXT, and it looks as though he might be attempting to change that in 2022. […]

WWE star Cody Rhodes came out on top in the “Hell in a Cell” over the weekend against Seth Rollins, but it didn’t come without his fair share of pain and agony.

WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon took a leave of absence on May 19th and now, it appears the company is using the media to deteriorate her name, which includes her father, Vince McMahon.

After John Cena announced he’d be making his return to the WWE at the end of June for the 20th anniversary of his wrestling debut, the world-renowned superstar went on to lift the spirits of one superfan.

WWE‘s Ezekiel isn’t Elias… right? Sure, they do look alike, as family members often do, and they just so happen to work for the same company, World Wrestling Entertainment, but the duo each have their own profiles on the WWE roster page, their own interests – does Ezekiel play drums? – and have different facial […]

On Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, budding heel group Judgment Day gained, and then immediately lost, a member. Judgment Day is one of the more recent examples of a spooky-flavored faction in wrestling that was formed by Edge, a Superstar unafraid to tap into his Brood-roots. Complete with a black and purple color scheme and […]

When Riddle initially teamed up with Randy Orton in the WWE, it felt like a novelty. “The Viper” is, was, and will forever be one of the best legacy wrestlers in WWE history, and his serious demeanor – not to mention the voices in his head – makes him a strange fit paired up with […]
