Outside of the WWE ring, Bayley and Liv Morgan are buddies. They’ve appeared together on Xavier Woods/Austin Creed’s UpUpDownDown YouTube channel, goofed around backstage before/during shows, and have shared the ring on 92 occasions, first at a house show for the NXT Women’s Championship, and most recently in February of 2021 on SmackDown, just four […]

When news broke that WWE‘s 2022 iteration of Money in the Bank was moving to a “more intimate” venue, it left many a raised eye across the wrestling world.

His courageousness has resulted in another WWE legend, Booker T, praising Flair for still having the love and desire to compete. Via TMZ […]

Pat McAfee doesn’t like Happy Corbin. He doesn’t like him as a wrestler, doesn’t like him in the ring, and basically doesn’t even like being in the same WWE Universe as Corbin, which is saying a lot, because McAfee seems to absolutely love being a part of WWE Universe. When Corbin fails, McAfee laughs. When […]

Asuka is the WWE Universe’s master of the memes. She posts them herself on Instagram, a lot of them really, creates them on her YouTube channel, Kanachantv, and even takes special pleasure in acting as over-the-top as possible whenever she’s on RAW, SmackDown, or a WWE Pay-Per-View, occasionally in the hopes of recreating on of […]

On the Fourth of July, RAW put on a very patriotic show. They had Bobby Lashley cut a very patriotic promo, had the Street Profits throwing a party in the parking lot, and members of the roster even had an impromptu hot dog eating contest in the vein of Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, […]

In honor of the Fourth of July, where the fine folks at the Nathan’s Hot Dogs company have made it a tradition to slam down dogs at a feverish clip for the sake of money, honor, and glory, the WWE Universe had themselves a good old fashioned cookout in the parking lot of the Pechanga […]

With Money in the Bank officially in the rearview, the WWE Universe is looking to reset following a number of pretty notable changes.

When Liv Morgan took to the ring to celebrate winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship on RAW, it was met with near-universal acclaim by the fans assembled in the Pechanga Arena in San Diego. Her babyface speech was much appreciated by the WWE Universe, as was the first look at her SmackDown Championship on WWE television, […]

When Dominik and Rey Mysterio took the ring for their Fourth of July match on RAW, it was a special WWE moment. No, not because of their opponents, as the Mysterios have tussled with the men of Judgement Day before, but because the match was taking place in San Diego, the city the duo are […]

Conventional wisdom would suggest that with the green and gold briefcase now in his possession, Theory would turn his sights away from the United States Championship he lost at Money in the Bank in favor of targeting the biggest prize in the promotion today: The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Well, if the first segment of […]

When it was announced during the Money in the Bank broadcast that Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar were going to wrestle in a “Last Man Standing Match” at SummerSlam, it drew mixed reactions across the WWE Universe. On one hand, the prospects of seeing yet another Reigns-Lesnar match wasn’t exactly met with a ton of […]

When (Austin) Theory lost his Unites States Championship at WWE’s Money in the Bank, it made more than a few fans very happy indeed. While no one can call Theory an underachiever for his age or suggest that he didn’t defend his title over his 75-day run, the angle on which he lost it, a […]

When WWE interrupted their otherwise tight Money in the Bank broadcast with a spooky vignette that hinted at the arrival/return/debut of a new performer, it unleashed a mystery on a fanbase known for having a keen eye and exceptional deductive reasoning.

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

Money in the Bank is an unusual Premium Live Event for WWE. It has championship bouts, excitement, and the single most intriguing match stipulation in all of sports entertainment, the Money in the Bank contract, which grants its holder an opportunity to insert themselves into any title match regardless of how far along it may […]

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. After slotting him in as a surprise addition to the MITB Ladder Match, Theory beat out stars like Seth Rollins, Sheamus, and Riddle […]

When WWE’s Money in the Bank went off the air, fans at home celebrated a fun Premium Live Event. Sure, some may have issues with the occasional booking decision, from having Theory lose the United States Championship, having Theory win the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and having a fantastic Usos-Street Profits match […]

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. Let’s face it: the Elias/Ezekiel/Elrod angle is absolutely ridiculous on the surface, but it has been one of the most entertaining recurring segments […]

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? Okay, technically that isn’t correct; fans want to know what’s next for Liv Morgan now […]

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. That’s right, not two hours after winning […]

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 […]

Carmella was the first winner of the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, the second winner of the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and the first female Money in the Bank winner to defend a title at the Pay-Per-View; if anyone knows how to put on a show at WWE‘s green, white, […]

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. So naturally, when news broke that Money in the Bank was booked for Vince Vaughn‘s favorite city, […]

Roman Reigns is the WWE‘s franchise player.

If you were planning on attending WWE‘s biggest show of the summer, the fittingly named SummerSlam, to explicitly catch the next in-ring appearance of John Cena you might want to sit down, as “The Champ” reportedly isn’t going to be on the card, let alone wrestling a match at the event.

For a time, it looked like Cesaro was going to be the face of Max Dupri’s Maximum Male Models on WWE‘s SmackDown. It looked like the “Swiss Superman” would finally return to the company that made him a mainstream darling, and be afforded the sort of A+ talker that had largely eluded him in Vince […]
