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. Initially drafted by the Sacramento Kings in the lottery of the 2020 NBA Draft, the Iowa State product was traded to the Indiana Pacers in a controversial move for Damontas Sabonis back in February of 2022 and has since gone on to become the featured player of Rick […]

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. From discussing Vince McMahon’s final run, which he […]

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. Though the duo have only technically wrestled twice on WWE televised programming, first at Extreme Rules in a strap match that […]

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. He’s wrestled 55 matches for the company, according to Cagematch, first for 205 Live, then on NXT, and even as a representative […]

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 […]

When news broke that Bray Wyatt was going to appear at Crown Jewel, the entire WWE Universe waited with bated breath to see what the former Fiend had to say in the ring. Fortunately, he didn’t disappoint. “My name is Bray Wyatt,” Wyatt began. “There was a time I would have done just about anything […]

When Logan Paul and Roman Reigns entered the ring for the main event of Crown Jewel, it was crystal clear that WWE really wanted the match to feel like a spectacle.

When it was announced that  Bianca Belair and Bayley were going to take part in a Last Woman Standing match at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, fans were mixed on the prospects of the contest. Sure, after watching Belair and Bayley duke it out multiple times since the latter returned to the WWE Universe […]

The Usos are roughly a week away from becoming the longest-running tag team champions in WWF/WWE history. With 475 days and counting since they won the SmackDown Tag Team titles off of another familial due, Dominik and Rey Mysterio, all the way back in July of 2021, Jimmy and Jey are just eight days away […]

When Braun Strowman vs. Omos was announced for WWE Crown Jewel, there were only so many ways the match could go. Omos could squash Strowman, Strowman could squash Omos, or the smaller of the two men – which, for the first time ever, was Strowman, takes the punishment and fights back for a David and […]

As improbable as it may have sounded a few months ago, Judgement Day might just be the most cohesive unit on the RAW brand, serving as an interesting foil to SmackDown‘s Bloodline, which features the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos. They worked in a cohesive manner, with rapid-fire tags and impeccable in-ring psychology, […]

Drew McIntyre just wants a fair shake against Karrion Kross in a WWE ring – no fireballs, no pepper spray, just a fair, even match between two in-ring performers to see who is the better in-ring wrestler. But how can the “Scottish Warrior” ensure that would happen? Would he ask for an empty arena match? […]

Heading into the second match at WWE Crown Jewel, a rematch of the Women’s Tag Team Championship match run on RAW that saw the Damage CTRL duo of Dakota Kai and IYO SKY dethroned as champs, Alexa Bliss had more than just the match on her mind. Wrestling with Asuka, her impromptu partner who helped […]

After avoiding each other for the first 20 years of their respective careers, Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar never faced each other in a WWE ring. Two of the biggest titans in the game today post-2000, Lashley and Lesnar have passed each other like ships in the night, very big, warships with an unspoken understanding […]

It’s here, it’s finally here: WWE Crown Jewel is upon us. While the show is coming a bit earlier than the usual WWE “Premium Live Event,” what with the show being broadcast live on Peacock from Saudi Arabia, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has assembled an eight-match card that features a little bit of everything for […]

When LA Knight stopped playing games and started getting real, dropping his ill-fated Max Durpi name, and Maximum Male Models, Mace and Mansoor, it created questions about his former faction’s place in the company moving forward. Would Paul “Triple H” Levesque ditch the Models from WWE once and for all, or did he have something […]

Just when you thought there wasn’t enough wrestling content to keep fans happy on a Friday night, NBC’s Young Rock comes along to not only deliver the sort of stories about the life of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson that are rarely conveyed on WWE SmackDown or AEW Rampage but also consistently delivers unique wrestling cameos […]
