While Claudio Castagnoli is currently in the middle of a fantastic run in AEW, where he’s the current Ring of Honor champion and a member of the hottest faction in the company, the Blackpool Combat Club, the man formerly known as Cesaro still has a soft spot in his heart for his time in WWE, […]

At his heart, Seth Rollins is a fan of professional wrestling. Sure, he’s a WWE guy through and through, but he’s got friends in AEW, GCW, Impact, and NJPW, and has even been photographed at indie shows despite his best efforts to stay hidden. This love of wrestling was on full display on Wednesday afternoon, […]

When Becky Lynch returned to WWE after swapping out her time as “The Man” to instead become “The Mom,” Vince McMahon and company made the controversial decision to code the six-time champion as a heel. That’s right, despite her status as arguably the greatest babyface female performer in WWE history and having to vacate her […]

Pat McAfee has been a breath of fresh air since initially stepping his toe into the WWE Universe back in 2018. From his memorable run as a pre-show commentator for NXT TakeOvers, to his feud with Adam Cole that saw the ex-Indianapolis Colts punter take the ring for a surprisingly good match at WWE NXT […]

Goodness, another week, another big-time in-ring squash by Kevin Owens as he looks to recapture his place at the WWE’s top “Prize Fighter.” It all started out well enough, when Austin Theory, with his first name officially back and his jaw still jacked from taking a fist to the face from Tyson Fury, took the […]

After finally, officially turning his back on his father Rey and Edge at Clash at the Castle, Dominik Mysterio has made his intentions clear on the fallout episode of RAW: Dom has officially thrown his hat in with Judgement Day to fully come into his own in the WWE Universe freed from his father’s long, […]

WWE fans, I hope you weren’t eagerly counting down the days until Control Your Narrative comes to a town near you, as you might just be having your ticket refunded in the not-too-distant future. Why? Well, because after watching Karrion Kross jump ship from CYN to WWE to become an ever-present thorn in the side […]

WWE is holding their latest episode of Monday Night RAW as we speak. However, they are very aware of the explosive situation regarding CM Punk and AEW. Following Sunday night’s All Out pay-per-view, the new AEW World Champion went off on recent reports surrounding him. Among those Punk went after were former friend Colt Cabana, […]

While Finn Balor and his Judgement Day brothers – and sister – in arms lost the battle at WWE’s Clash at the Castle in their tag team bout versus Edge and Rey Mysterio, the team ultimately won the war, as Dominik Mysterio, “Mr. 619’s” son, officially turned on his father and delivered a stiff close […]

When discussing the best modern champions in professional wrestling, a few teams routinely come to mind. There’s the Young Bucks and FTR of AEW, The Usos of WWE, and even the Briscoe Brothers, who have wrestled for Impact and GCW in addition to their prolific run in Ring of Honor But one team who doesn’t […]

Tyler Bate is a darn good wrestler. During his time in NXT UK, he wrestled some of the best performers the world has to offer, from Pete “Butch” Dunn to Walter/Gunther, and through it all, held the brand up as one of the pillars of English wrestling. He worked his butt off during the salad […]

Worlds Collide is meant to be a showcase of the best of the best the NXT and NXT UK brands have to offer. A sort of Survivor Series for the developmental brands, Shawn Michael, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and company put together a five-match card that was not only meant to unify a few titles […]

Mandy Rose has almost been the NXT Women’s Champion for a year. She’s held the belt for longer than everyone but Asuka and Shayna Baszler, has defended the strap on seven occasions, and has beaten basically every top talent the promotion has to offer. And yet, Rose desperately wants to return to either RAW or […]

When the NXT duo of Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett announced on commentary that Roderick Strong was in the hospital after being attacked in the parking lot of WWE’s Performance Center, it could have only meant one of two things. Either A, Strong was going to magically emerge from the back to either help his […]

After initially being held off of the Worlds Collide card, NXT’s North American Champion, Carmelo Hayes, took it personally. He logged onto social media to air out his grievances, made a video to stake his claim, and ultimately made his way to the ring at the end of NXT’s go-home show to shoot his shot […]

After watching the WWE Universe Clash at the Castle in a rare UK Stadium show that saw no titles change, no major debuts minus save the return of Giovanni Vinci to Imperium and the elevation of Solo Sikoa from NXT to presumably SmackDown, and a whole lot of Tyson Fury singing karaoke with 60,000 of […]

WWE’s Clash at the Castle was a tight show. Kicking off at 1 pm ET and running until right around 4, the show had six matches and zero title changes but still felt like a worthy use of an afternoon, especially for Comcast subscribers who get Peacock for free. Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY […]

When it was announced on commentary that neither Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, or Jey Uso was in attendance at WWE’s Clash at the Castle, it felt like maybe, just maybe, Drew McIntyre would have a “fair” fight for the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship. The match would be mano a mano, the bout would truly […]

When Drew McIntyre took the ring in Cardiff, Wales, for a bout with Roman Reigns for a match at WWE’s Clash at the Castle, the odds were always stacked against him, Sure, McIntyre had 60,000 fans cheering him on, hoping for nothing more than to see the hometown kid come away from the first UK […]

Deep in the thralls of an absolute slugfest between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre that felt like it might go on forever, who would appear to shake up the match but Austin Theory, the current holder of the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase and the contract it holds? Oh no, was Theory seriously going […]

Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle really don’t like each other. Since entering into a feud following Cody Rhodes’ brutal victory over the man formerly known as the “Monday Night Messiah” at Hell in a Cell, Rollins has had it out for Riddle, and their interactions have only grown more and more contentious with each passing […]

Heading into WWE’s Clash at the Castle, the ream of Edge and Rey Mysterio had almost nothing to lose. There were no championship belts on the line, the match was expected to have little effect on either performer’s legacy, and both will forever find themselves enshrined in the Hall of Fame regardless of how they […]

After being bullied up on by the heelish Shayna Baszler the for the better part of a month, Liv Morgan came into WWE’s Clash at the Castle with everything to lose and nothing but legacy points to gain. Facing off against a submission specialist who continued the work Ronda Rousey started at SummerSlam on her […]

Gunther is an imposing force in the WWE Universe. Since slimming down considerably from his days in NXT UK and cashing out his given first name, Walter, for a more menacing – and WWE copyright friends – moniker, the “Ring General” has been on a tear, winning the Intercontinental Championship from Ricochet on a June […]

When the trio of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY debuted as a trio at SummerSlam, it felt like an inflection point in the WWE women’s division. Sure, none of these performers were necessarily new to the WWE Universe, as Bayley is a member of the Four Horsewomen, and both Kai and SKY had prolific […]

Fresh off the heels of one of the most exciting SummerSlams in recent memory, WWE is set to run its next “Premium Live Event” in Cardiff, Wales, where the stars of RAW and SmackDown will wrestle at Clash at the Castle. Fans will finally be afforded a chance to see the trio of Dakota Kai, […]

As you may or may not have noticed, Paul Heyman has been curiously absent from WWE television since he suffered a slam from Brock Lesnar at when things broke down outside the ring during the main event of SummerSlam. Granted, he has made a few verbal cameos, including an off-camera promo at the start of […]

Ever since Hit Row returned to WWE, one question has been at the front of more than a few fans’ minds: when is Swerve Strickland going to leave AEW to reunite with Ashante “Thee” Adonis, Top Dolla, and B-Fab? Now, for fans in the know, this scenario is a lot easier said than done, as […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque gave AEW the most backhanded compliment of all time by congratulating Tony Khan’s company for “beating our developmental system” in a sitdown interview with Ariel Helwani for BT Sports, it drew a massive response from both sides of the proverbial aisle. WWE stans loved it, AEW die-hards took to social […]

While Paul “Triple H” Levesque may be the new EVP of Talent Relations for the WWE, at his heart, “The Game” is a showman. In the ring, Levesque was a big game hunter always looking to get himself over, and in his 24-year in-ring tenure with The Fed, he accomplished that feat a ton. He […]

WWE’s Rey and Dominik Mysterio go back a long way… literally. For one thing, Mysterio has known Dom since the day he was born, and I have it on good authority that he’s good friends with the young luchador’s mother too. From their initial run-ins together in WWE all the way back in 2003, to […]

Just when AEW fans didn’t think the excitement for All Out couldn’t get any bigger, Tony Khan pulled a legit 7-footer out of his hat to shake things up significantly. It all began with an unannounced segment of Dynamite, where The Wingmen took the ring over a commercial break to demand that they get more […]

“You know who I am.” These words, spoken by Finn Balor to Bronn Breaker in his much-anticipated return to NXT, could hardly be heard over the cheers of a crowd very much excited to see the longest-reigning champion in the brand’s history return to their television screens. “And I’m also the guy who’s held that […]

If you’re a hardcore fan of professional wrestling who watches everything from WWE to PWG, you may have noticed that Jonah, aka NXT’s Bronson Reed, has been noticeably absent from Impact television since all the way back in April, when the “Top Dog” lost a “Monster Ball” match to PCO of Honor No More. What […]

And then, after slogging through an eight-team tournament across WWE brands that ballooned to 10 due to injuries, there were two. That’s right, after watching the team of Zoey Stark and Nikkta Lyons eliminated from contention before the tournament even began, and their replacements, Toxic Attraction, having to bow out due to an injury of […]

Edge has wrestled a ton of matches in the WWE. He’s been a fixture of “Premium Live Events” back when they were called Pay-Per-Views, has won titles both singles and tag team, and has taken part in some of the most prolific matches in the promotion’s history, like the original TLC match and the “The […]

WWE’s Seth Rollins and Riddle don’t like each other. They’ve been feuding for the better part of the summer for one reason or another since the latter fell into the former’s crosshairs following Hell in a Cell, and they’ve come to blows more than a few times in the weeks proceeding their scheduled match at […]

Current NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes is not very happy with Shawn Michaels at the moment. Though the man known as the Heartbreak Kid has been a massive supporter of Hayes in the past, going so far as to take this picture with him after winning the North American Championship, there apparently has been […]

In a little less than a week, Drew McIntyre will be wrestling the most important match of his WWE career, nay his wrestling career, period, when he throws down in the main event of Clash at the Castle versus the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Taking the ring in Cardiff, Wales, on the very […]
