When Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made the jump from WWE to Hollywood in the pursuit of becoming a legitimate leading man and action star, he was wading into uncharted waters.

A lot of fans will agree that Randy Orton is one of the WWE’s main attractions.

When Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson took the ring in the main event of All In, it marked the end of a pretty incredible moment for the AEW World Champion.

So why, you may wonder, has John “Bradshaw” Layfield, or  JBL for short, been, well, everywhere in the professional wrestling world as of late, appearing in AAA, MLW, TNA, GCW, and beyond over the past few months? Well, as he noted on Huge Pop, it’s because after watching his angle with Baron Corbin go from […]

When Jade Cargill made the jump from AEW to WWE, her life and career changed in more ways than one. Now sure, technically, she hasn’t become a World Champion, broken into the mainstream, or been cast in her dream role as Storm in the MCU – that is, after all, what “A Storm is coming” […]

After watching Trick Williams and “All Ego” Ethan Page duke it out instead of signing their contract for a title match during the opening segment of the show, NXT GM Ava announced that she needed help to get the deal done in time for the promotion’s debut on The CW and called on none other […]

Since the Janel Grant lawsuit broke in January of 2024, it has effectively become acceptable for even the most hardened members of the greater WWE Universe to speak out against Vince McMahon, with everyone from Seth Rollins to Becky Lynch, CM Punk, and even Cody Rhodes – kind of – suggesting that while they appreciate […]

After over eight years away from the squared circle, WWE commentator Wade Barrett could be making an in-ring return if Monday Night RAW is any indication. On the latest episode of RAW on September 16, Barrett took his first bump in over eight years. This occurred during a match between Damian Priest and “Dirty” Dominik […]

When Swerve Strickland took the ring against – and a syringe to the cheek from – “Hangman” Adam Page,  AEW was making a certified choice. To some, the match was a masterful piece of storytelling, the physical tale of two men who committed crimes to get each other’s goat brought to a bloody conclusion, with […]

After going quiet for a week or so, leading fans to believe their beef was officially on ice, Kevin Nash blazed back in a big way on his Kliq This podcast, bringing up Logan Paul once more to discuss his lack of respect for the business due to his absence from house shows and weekly […]

WWE in 2024 is a very different place than at any point in the promotion’s history, and not just because Cody Rhodes finally became the Undisputed Universal Champion. The promotion is not only very popular with its wrestlers but in free agency at large, with big-name free agents like Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, the Lucha Brothers, […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over for Vince McMahon as the new creative lead of the WWE Universe, becoming the CCO of the promotion in September of 2022, the changes came swiftly and with incredible fanfare. Suddenly, RAW and SmackDown had more wrestling with fewer camera cuts, matches actually had finishes, and the promotion’s […]

After watching Paul “Triple H” Levesque take the ring to welcome fans to Friday Night SmackDown, its first show back on network television after spending a few years on Fox, fans got down to their main event, which actually went on first: Cody Rhodes versus Solo Sikoa for the WWE Championship inside a steel cage. […]

When an angry Rikishi ripped off the following quote on his Off The Top podcast after repeatedly watching his son, Jey Uso, get overlooked for opportunities on television, it turned heads around the IWC for, well, obvious reasons. “It’s a concern. At the end of the day, these are our bodies, and this is my […]

Seemingly any time WWE announces a new set of releases, be it developmental guys like Von Wagner or top-end talent like Matt Riddle and Bobby Lashley, fans will declare some version of the following statement: AEW bound.

The WWE power couple of Cody and Brandi Rhodes are celebrating their 11th anniversary. The latter took to X, formerly Twitter, to share her gratitude for her husband. “Happy 11 years of marriage to the love of my life,” Brandi’s post began. “My partner, best friend, greatest love, and biggest supporter. No one compares to […]

After doing a play-by-play analysis of Shannon Sharpe’s NSFW Instagram Live, WWE star R-Truth has mimicked the infamous livestream. He took to his own Instagram Live to poke fun at Sharpe. The video, which was posted by @WrestleOps on X, formerly Twitter, is framed as if R-Truth is unaware of the camera being on. His […]

As Shannon Sharpe went viral for an explicit Instagram Live, WWE star R-Truth weighed in, calling a play-by-play of the events. Thanks to screenshots from @ProWFinesse on X, formerly Twitter, R-Truth’s comments can be read. He sent in several messages, including, “Are they F**KIN??? Excuse my French.” He then continued, saying, “Yoo UNC, that’s not […]

When Drew McIntyre debuted in WWE all the way back in 2007, he looked very different than the man fans have come to know and love in 2024. For one thing, he didn’t have a beard, was in his early 20s, and didn’t yet have the absolutely jacked physique that has become synonymous with the […]

At this point, Dave Bautista is about as well known for his on-screen roles as his in-ring efforts, with “The Animal” going from WWE Champion to international box office superstar for roles in films like Blader Runner 2049, The Killing Game, and as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, with which he has […]

Though Ricochet has technically already debuted in AEW, wrestling in the Casino Gauntlet match at All In and working a singles television debut against Kyle Fletcher on Dynamite, fans still aren’t 100 percent sure where the “First in Flight” stands within Tony Khan’s company. Is Ricochet a babyface, as he is a fan favorite for […]

While Bryan Danielson’s career is rapidly coming to a close, with the “American Dragon” a single title loss away from calling his full-time professional wrestling run a career, there was a time when fans truly weren’t sure where he would end up, in Tony Khan land or back with WWE, where he had plenty of […]

Dwight Howard might be on his way to retirement from the NBA, but there’s one career move the eight-time All-Star is officially closing the door on — professional wrestling. Despite previously expressing interest in joining the WWE, Howard revealed to TMZ Sports that his dreams of stepping into the squared circle have been squashed, thanks […]

When John Cena formally announced at Money in the Bank that he was retiring from professional in 2025 to follow in the footsteps of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dave Bautista in Hollywood, it got fans in their feelings. Sure, Cena was going to make plenty of appearances in WWE before he officially hangs up […]

When CM Punk’s initial run in the WWE Universe came to an end, it felt like the system had won. Widely celebrated for being the “Voice of the Voiceless,” a hero to the hardcore fans who missed the WWE they grew up on, Punk fought the system at every turn, went to bat against the […]

When it comes to professional wrestling, few Hall of Famers are as willing to get into the digital trenches to speak their minds and talk some you-know-what about one thing or another as Kevin Nash, the former “Big Daddy Cool Diesel” who might just have the most legendary feud of his career against LA Knight […]

The WWE is selling the bracelet  that has been the crux of CM Punk and Drew McIntyre’s feud for $9.99. The original creator has weighed in on the matter.

With WWE off of Peacock for the next few weeks as fans experience the rare month without a PLE, Drew McIntyre took to the ring on RAW to celebrate his recent beatdown of the “Best in the World,” CM Punk, who hasn’t been seen on television since. On paper, this was pretty textbook stuff for […]

When Bret Hart was announced for a special appearance on RAW in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, fans just had to know he would interact with some member of the WWE Universe, but who would it be? Would he hype up a babyface like Sami Zayn? Get into it with a heel like Gunther? Or simply address […]

When Cody Rhodes took the ring against Solo Sikoa in the main event of SummerSlam, it felt like a big deal.

As crazy as it may sound, Jimmy Uso has officially been off of WWE television and, in turn, out of The Bloodline, for almost five months, being jumped out of the faction by Tama Tonga in a move designed to fully consolidate power around the new “Tribal Chief” Solo Sikoa. In his time away, Uso […]

“Oh yeah, my back is fine,” WWE and The Killer’s Game star Drew McIntyre reassured me. We are speaking just a day after CM Punk brutally attacked McIntyre on Monday Night RAW ahead of their strap match at Bash in Berlin, whipping him. McIntyre is fine, though, and promised to “beat him until he turns […]

When it comes to The Bloodline, at least during Roman Reigns’ time as the “Tribal Chief,” WWE fans routinely compared their storyline to the most polarizing term in professional wrestling: cinema. Unlike in wrestling past, where workers would loudly declare their intentions in the ring with bravado and swagger, The Bloodline would talk quietly in […]

When it comes to having success under both of WWE’s 21st-century bookers, few performers hold a candle to Drew McIntyre. Originally brought into WWE as Vince McMahon’s “Chosen One,” McIntyre won both of his WWE World Championships under the former Chairman of the Board and was given the tough ask of being the face of […]
