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. For the fans in attendance, and even watching from home, history was literally unfolding […]

After being thoroughly embarrassed on the previous episode of RAW by Johnny Gargano and his universal remote, The Miz was looking to change his narrative within the WWE Universe.

With Survivor Series officially less than two weeks away, Rhea Ripley is set to pull double duty in the WWE Universe, as the enforcer of Judgement Day will all but surely back up her faction-mate Finn Balor in his one-on-one grudge match against fellow former Bullet Club leader A.J. Styles before taking part in the […]

Mia Yim is a very popular performer in the WWE Universe. Though she hadn’t technically recorded her first win in the ring since returning from Impact a changed woman, once she secured the W against Tamina in a relatively one-sided singles victory, the services of The OC’s “Rhea Ripley neutralizer” inflated like the price of […]

Catching up with Dana Brooke before WWE RAW, Mandy Rose’s former tag team partner was asked what it was like to not only lose her 24/7 Title but watch Niki Cross throw it in the trash(ish) as if it didn’t matter to her one bit. “I’ve shown up and I have shown out every single […]

At NWA Hard Times in New Orleans, NWA head booker Billy Corgan made the controversial decision to take the strap off of Trevor Murdoch, who was in his second reign with the 10 Pounds of Gold, and give it to Tyrus, the NWA staple who WWE fans might remember as Brodus Clay. Needless to say, […]

It has officially been 25 years since the Montreal Screwjob. That infamous occurrence, which came at the end of the WWF World Heavyweight Championship match between Brett Hart and Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series 1997 “Gang Rulz” broadcast live from beautiful Montreal, Quebec, Canada, sent shockwaves through the company now known as WWE, sent one […]

Folks, I regret to inform you that WWE is going crush angles; I know, I hate it too, but in a recent backstage segment immediately after Shotzi secured the number one contendership for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, the former Blackheart ran into Emma to discuss the prospects of wrestling Ronda Rousey on a future event […]

When Jay Lethal made his surprise debut in AEW at Full Gear 2021, where he challenged Sammy Guevara for a match for his TNT Championship, the reaction from the professional wrestling world was mixed. For fans who have been keeping up with the “Black Machismo” since he made his debut in Jersey All Pro Wrestling […]

“Bret Hart has noted being greatly appreciative of FTR and C.M. Punk and other wrestlers for calling him the all-time best. The Calgary Hit Men hockey team sent all three jerseys a few months ago. Bret has been wearing FTR T-shirts. He can’t appear with AEW due to his legends contract so can only be […]

Though he may be the least prolific champion on the main roster right now in terms of WWE accolades, what with the other belts being held by two-thirds of The Shield and the longest-tenured Tag Team Champions in the promotion’s history, the “Ring General” is anything but an unworthy Title holder – an anti-Austin Theory, […]

After some minor hype drumming up the event, the SmackDown World Cup tournament has officially kicked off in the WWE Universe. Now, the field of eight performers, some of them representing international markets, some of them representing the good ole United States of America, will descend into a SmackDown ring to decide on who is […]

When The Bloodline sans Sami Zayn made their way to the ring at the end of WWE SmackDown, it felt like the group was preparing for a right-proper acknowledgment session. On paper, things have been really going The Bloodline’s way as of late, with Roman Reigns successfully defending his belt against the ever-unconventional Logan Paul […]

Folks, as crazy as it may sound, WWE’s next “Premium Live Event,” Survivor Series, is just two weeks away, and already, the teams for the event’s two premier matches, a male and female version of WarGames, are slowly coming into focus. First came the addition of Nikki Cross, who left her almost-a-superhero ways on SmackDown […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over primary booking duties for WWE from his father-in-law, Vince McMahon, it turned Vincent M. McMahon’s company into the wild, wild west. Sure, some acts would be elevated, with Bayley returning at SummerSlam with Dakota Kai and IYO SKY to form the team eventually nicknamed Damage CTRL, while others, […]

Dave Bautista “starred” as Marcus Fenix on Twitter in a bid to land the role for the upcoming Gears of War Netflix Live-Action Film. Let’s face it – no one could ever top Dave Bautista as the #1 candidate for the role of Marcus Fenix in Gears of War. The WWE wrestler known to many […]

Tyrese Haliburton is a professional basketball player.

After weeks of hints and rumors hidden inside of promos with the Viking Warriors, Sarah Logan has officially returned to WWE SmackDown. A former member of the WWE Universe best known for her time with the Riott Squad, Logan was cut by The Fed in 2020 as part of the great pandemic purges and announced […]

Something… unusual happened when LA Knight was being interviewed by Megan Morant on WWE SmackDown. Sure, Knight didn’t approve of the questions presented his way, as if anything else is new, but as he explained why the new WWE World Cup won’t matter since he’s heading for championship gold, something peculiar began to play on […]

Folk’s it’s official: Saraya is in AEW, and she’s looking to wrestle. That’s right, after Britt Baker no-showed her appearance on a joint interview with the newest member of the AEW commentary team, Renee Paquette, the duo finally met in the ring on AEW Dynamite to air out their grievances before the promotion’s final Pay-Per-View […]

Though Chris Jericho is about as AEW as they come at this stage of his career, currently holding the Ring of Honor World Championship in his first reign, “The Ocho” will still freely talk about his time in WWE and how he feels the company is going.

Sitting down with his buddies on the imPAULsive podcast, Logan Paul finally gave his side of the story on what happened at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. “I don’t know how to say this, I lost.” Paul stated. “So check it out, we just got back from Saudi Arabia, WWE Crown Jewel, I faced […]

Bobby Lashley is out for blood in the WWE. Since having his match with Seth Rollins for the United States Champion severely affected by a pre-bell attack at the hands of “The Beast Incarnate,” Lashley has wanted revenge on, well, basically anyone who got in his way; Mustafa Ali, Seth Rollins, and even Austin Theory, […]

Folks, Mia Yim is back; that’s right, after spending a year away from the fed following her firing from the company due to “budget cuts,” the NXT standout and one-time member of Retribution is back in WWE and looking to make an impression. Catching up with Cathy Kelley after her surprise RAW re-debut, Mia Yim […]

In WWE, a Money in the Bank cash-in is about the easiest way to win a championship. Since coming into existence in 2005, 80.95 percent of male cash-in attempts have been successful, with just John Cena, Damien Sandow, Baron Corbin, and Braun Strowman serving as the only men in the promotion’s history to lose in […]

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when Nikki Cross didn’t just want to be a hero to the WWE Universe but something more; she wanted to be super. She had the Hurricane Helms-approved mask, the tights, and an unbreakable smile in the hopes of inspiring kids young and old to live their best […]

WWE’s decision to pair Baron Corbin up with JBL is like throwing a mountain of whipped cream on top of a giant vanilla milkshake; if you liked it before, you probably like it as much, if not more now, and if you never had much of a sweet tooth, you’re probably really don’t like it […]

When facing off three-on-three, The OC and Judgement Day are pretty evenly matched in WWE; both factions have a leader who was once a leader of the Bullet Club, both have a certified giant, and both have a small but spunky third guy who has never beaten Kazuchika Okada in the G1 Climax 2012 Final. […]

Lio Rush has been out of AEW for way longer than he was in the promotion at this point. Initially debuting at Double or Nothing 2021 as the joker in the Casino Battle Royale, Rush was injured in his initial debut but returned to Tony Khan’s company in November of the same year, where he […]

Folks, the professional wrestling world has its first right proper free agent of 2023 officially on the board, as Nick Aldis, the former NWA Champion, has officially put in his notice to the National Wrestling Alliance that he will test the opening market and potentially sign with WWE, AEW, or even Impact, where his wife, […]

Solo Sikoa is a company man. Though he may be the “enforcer” of The Bloodline and the toughest dude in the faction, save maybe Roman Reigns, he would never challenge the rule of his cousin like his older brother Jey did at the beginning of the “Head of the Table” storyline. Now granted, maybe one […]

Since re-debuting in the WWE Universe roughly three months ago, making an appearance at the end of the first SmackDown of the month of August, Karrion Kross has had it out for Drew McIntyre.

Grayson Waller has been a member of the WWE Universe since March of 2021, when the Australian-born grappler then going by Matty Wahlberg signed on with the company, according to The Wrestling Observer.

After wrestling his first “Premium Live Event” match at Crown Jewel since being released from WWE in June of 2021, Braun Strowman was feeling pretty sure of himself. Sure, his match wasn’t exactly a 60-minute Ironman contest between two champions, but his “Clash of the Titans” showdown against Omos drew strong enough reviews for its […]

It’s hard to call Logan Paul’s third match in WWE anything but a resounding success. Sure, technically, he lost the contest, which was very widely expected, but he took shots from Roman Reigns like a champ, got in some impressive shots of his own – even if one has basically stolen from “Hangman” Adam Page […]

Braun Strowman is normally the biggest guy whenever he steps into the WWE wrestling ring. Measuring in at 6-foot-8, 340 pounds, Strowman routinely towers over opposing wrestlers with ease, thus allowing him to work matches that align with his nickname, the “Monster Of All Monsters.” Throw him in the ring with a performer like Roman […]

In a way, one could argue that Bobby Lashley lost the United States Championship because of Brock Lesnar. Sure, technically, Seth Rollins pinned the now-former US Champion for the belt, as championship turnovers tend to do, but before the bell could even ring, Lesnar delivered an absolute beatdown on the former champion, landing more F5s […]
