After Shawn Michaels heavily suggested that there could be some big surprises at NXT Battleground, fans were somewhat disappointed to see that there wasn’t a single new in-ring debut on the show, with the lone “surprise” appearance at the UFC Apex belonging to Ash by Elegance, who WWE fans know as Dana Brooke. Why didn’t […]

After defeating Jordynne Grace in a surprisingly bloody NXT Battleground match featuring outside interference from Tatum Paxley and Dana Brooke/Ash by Ellegance, you would think Roxanne Perez would be in a pretty good mood, right? Securing a massive win in front of a receptive crowd while being lauded for her in-ring abilities? Theoretically, yes, one […]

When WWE trimmed the Big 3 down to two and belted up the new tag team of Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill at Backlash, it felt like a natural way to put two of their top stars of the present and future together in order to make them feel like legitimate players on the main […]

Though Ric Flair is technically a member of the AEW roster, having signed a unique contract alongside his Wooooo! Energy to join Sting on his final run before retirement, Vice’s new documentary series – Who Killed WCW? -has rapidly brought the former 8-time WCW Champion out of his limousine to take about the company he […]

Heading into NXT Battleground, Shawn Michaels hinted that there could be plenty of surprises at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the presence of TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace, hinting at even more Forbidden Door moments potentially on the books. Technically, that did happen, as Dana Brooke returned to NXT under her new […]

When Drew McIntyre made deadlines for celebrating TNA star Joe Hendry for being an entertaining presence and valuable member of the TNA roster in a recent interview with Cultaholic, no one was more excited by the admission than the “The Prestigious One” himself, Joe Hendry. Sure, Hendry doesn’t necessarily need McIntyre to put him over, […]

When it comes to the wrestling career of Roxanne Perez, no person has done more to mentor her career than Booker T, the NXT commentator and owner of Reality of Wrestling, a combination school and promotion in Texas that helped to train “The Prodigy” on her path to international stardom. And yet, as she’s gone […]

NXT Premium Live Events are usually, to paraphrase another wrestling promoter, for the sickos. Sure, there have been plenty of incredible matches contested in an NXT ring, especially during the Black and Gold era when Paul “Triple H” Levesque was calling the shots, but as of late, the shows have felt far less important, with […]

When it comes to high flyers in the world today, few performers are on the same level as Ricochet, and yet, if you watch WWE and WWE only, you wouldn’t know it. Sure, he’s had a few elite matches, gone viral for spots with Carmelo Hayes and Logan Paul, and even became the first-ever WWE […]

While Bron Breakker has been dominating within the WWE Universe for years now, winning the NXT Championship twice, finding success as both a babyface and as a heel, and even earning Tag Team gold alongside Bron Breakker in an unlikely tag team, a whole new collection of WWE fans have discovered the second-generation Steiner since […]

With Forbidden Door rapidly approaching, performers in AEW, New Japan, CMLL, and beyond have been politiking left and right to land on one of the most interesting shows of the year, including NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd… only, he isn’t looking to take on a member of AEW, NJPW, or even CMLL. That’s right, […]

On a show filled with performers calling each other out for future title shots, Bayley got into the ring for a promo segment ahead of Clash at the Castle to address the future of her WWE Women’s Championship and her forthcoming foe, Piper Niven. While Bayley has never wrested the “Viper” before, she was looking […]

After watching “The Man” lose what could be her final match in the WWE Universe in a cage-contained title match against Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship, one question above all others has been on the top of the wrestling fans’ minds: what does Becky Lynch have cooking up next? Will she sign with […]

After watching the Guerrillas of Destiny make their in-ring WWE debut the week prior in a tag team match against The Street Profits – going by The Bloodline instead of G.O.D. or something new – Solo Sikoa wanted to make things official during the penultimate edition of SmackDown ahead of Clash at the Castle, having […]

Though Lola Vice is still relatively new to her WWE career, having wrestled her first televised match for the promotion in January of 2023, the former MMA fighter has rapidly turned herself into one of the hottest names in the developmental system, winning the latest running of the Women’s Breakout Tournament and earning a new […]

When news broke that Vince McMahon was exiting WWE for the second time in 18 months, this time right before the Royal Rumble due to incredible backlash from Slim Jim and others during the initial fallout of the Janel Grant lawsuit, fans, wrestlers, and pundits alike wondered just how hands-off the former WWE Chairman of […]

With Clash at the Castle rapidly approaching, there’s no member of the WWE Universe, not even Cody Rhodes, who is more of a focal point in the promotion than Drew McIntyre, the first-ever Superstar to come from the country. On paper, it makes sense, right? McIntyre will almost certainly be headlining the show next weekend […]

When Jordynne Grace walked out into the WWE Performance Center to challenge Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship at Battleground, it created all sorts of dream matches fans were desperate to see should the two promotions choose to collaborate further. Could Drew McIntyre win the TNA Title once more and become a two-time TNA […]

After watching a half dozen top-tier performers leave NXT for the main roster during the 2024 WWE Draft, Trick Williams has quickly become the face of the developmental brand, serving as a top star in the ring and one of the locker room leaders behind the scenes. So when Trick Willie puts over another member […]

MJF has a unique relationship with WWE. On one hand, his mentor, Cody Rhodes, is the promotion’s top champion, and considering their history in the first year and change of AEW, there’s a strong appetite to see that feud rekindled at some point in the future, presumably within both men, too. And yet, in his […]

After two hours of anticipation, Ethan Page and Ava finally took to the ring in the final segment of NXT to make things official and add “All Ego” to the WWE Universe.

As things presently stand, Jordynne Grace is 1-0 in the WWE Universe as a singles star, having defeated Stevie Turner for her first win in the Performance Center. And yet, in a few days’ time, Grace will try to make it 2-0 in one of the most important matches of her professional wrestling as she […]

When it comes to wrestlers in the WWE Universe who have benefitted greatly from Vince McMahon, it’s hard to find a name more prominent than Randy Orton. A third-generation WWE Superstar who signed with the promotion at the turn of the century and has been employed consistently ever since, Orton has been booked like one […]

When NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer marched out to the ring in Los Angeles after Mercedes Mone defeated Skye Blue in her first-ever TV match, it all but certainly revealed who the “CEO” would wrestle at Forbidden Door at the end of the month on Long Island. … or did it? Discussing who Mone […]

When Booker T emerged from the back at the 2023 Royal Rumble, it earned a massive pop from the crowd in San Antonio, Texas. When Booker T was eliminated 42 seconds later, being thrown out of the ring by the “Ring General” Gunther after a Spinaroonie, that very same crowd in San Antonio, Texas quickly […]

When Bron Breakker debuted in the WWE Universe as a member of NXT back in 2021, it was clear the promotion had him earmarked as its next great Superstar. On paper, it made sense, right? He had a cup of coffee in the NFL, came from a prolific wrestling family, and stood 6 foot tall, […]

When Ethan Page emerged from a cloak of darkness to lay out NXT Champion Trick Williams less than two weeks before Battleground, it felt like the stars were aligning for one heck of a match in no small part to the clever booking call of the “Heartbreak Kid,” Shawn Michaels. On paper, this felt like […]

Despite being firmly on Adam Pearce’s naughty list after repeatedly beating up on Ricochet inside and out of the ring, Bron Breakker was afforded another chance to mix it up in the ring on RAW against the “Highlight of the Night” if for no reason other than the’s desire to prove he’s on-par with Mr. […]

When news broke that Chad Gable‘s contract with WWE was set to expire on Friday, it got fans around the professional wrestling world asking the very same question: what does this mean for the Alpha Academy’s feud with Sami Zayn? On paper, the story practically tells itself. Zayn and Gable will fight once more, likely […]

After officially securing a pair of wins over Becky Lynch in a matter of days, first taking her Women’s World Championship and then potentially taking the final win of her WWE career as “The Man” approaches a contractual impasse, Liv Morgan opened up RAW like only she knows how to do, celebrating her revenge tour […]

At King and Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia, the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time, Gunther, added another huge anecdote to his career: King of the Ring. A prominent international performer who went from dominating the indies to dominating NXT UK and now the USA Network weekly on RAW, Gunther carried himself like […]

Though the Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon is currently on pause as the Department of Justice initiates a probe into the former WWE Chairman of the Board and the promotion he used to run, that hasn’t stopped former Superstars and non-wrestling employees alike from coming forward with their experiences with the Billionaire, some good […]

When it comes to NXT in 2024, no one is more important to the success of the brand than the “Heartbreak Kid” himself, Shawn Michaels. A certified Hall of Famer with two of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time on his resume, HBK has successfully transitioned from an in-ring Superstars and hero to millions […]

Normally, when an athlete tears their ACL, they know it basically right away. They collapse onto the ground, limp to the sidelines, and have to be carried away with at least one of their compatriots there to help them. For Sonya Deville, that was not her experience at all, as in an Insight interview with […]

When it comes to professional wrestling, few personalities are as universally beloved as Mick Foley. From the hardcore youngsters duking it out on the indies, to the old-school aficionados of the Japanese Death Match scenes to fans of WWE, WCW, ECW, AEW, and beyond who have enjoyed his efforts, Foley has touched pretty much every […]

In 2023, Adam Copeland really wanted to go all out in his Hell in a Cell match with Finn Balor, ending his feud with Judgment Day in a huge way with big spots, a massive intro, and maybe even Gangrel making his long-awaited return to the promotion to help fight off the faction once and […]

When news broke that WWE was releasing Nic Nemeth from his contract after nearly 20 years with the promotion, it felt like only a matter of time before the former Dolph Ziggler would be making his way to AEW.
