When news broke that QT Marshall was leaving AEW on the very same day CM Punk was making his WWE Television return to RAW, it turned heads around the professional wrestling business.

How does the WWE locker room feel about the return of CM Punk? Well, I guess it depends on who you ask. From watching Seth Rollins curse obscenities at the “Best in the World” next to the WarGames cage during his return, to Drew McIntyre storming out of the area after his match, which may […]

CM Punk made his triumphant return to the WWE this past Saturday at Survivor Series: War Games. While he seems bound to feud with Seth Rollins, a new report suggests he could be on a collision course with Roman Reigns soon. Feuding with the Shield Based on a new report from Sports Illustrated, it seems […]

The CM Punk return at Survivor Series: War Games was officially one of the biggest moments in WWE history. The pro wrestling superstar, who hasn’t been in a WWE ring for nearly a decade, making his last premium live event at the 2014 Royal Rumble, returned in his hometown of Chicago and made social media […]

When news broke that CM Punk was being afforded a live microphone and the final segment of RAW to do with it as he pleased, fans, pundits, and AEW wrestlers braced themselves for what many assumed would be a Pipe Bomb 2.0 decimating Tony Khan, the Young Bucks, and everyone else who has “wronged him” […]

When news broke that Cody Rhodes, much like Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk, had some time set aside thanks to Adam Pearce to discuss something very important to him with the WWE Universe, it got fans talking. What on earth could Rhodes have to, well, talk about, with the fans in Nashville? Did […]

When news broke that not only was Randy Orton going to be making his much-anticipated return to WWE television for the first time since May of 2022 but would be opening up the show with a very special promo, it got fans stoked. What would Orton have to say? Who would come out to greet […]

When CM Punk made his surprise return to WWE after nearly a decade away following his firing with cause from AEW, it effectively changed the professional wrestling landscape forever. Suddenly, the promotion that positioned itself as the cool alternative to WWE had lost three of its top stars, Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Jade Cargill, and […]

When looking back at the weird period of time between the launch of AEW and Paul “Triple H” Levesque‘s elevation to CCO of WWE, one of the biggest “What ifs” has to be the absolute fumbling of the Undisputed Era. Once considered the top faction in all of WWE developmental, with the potential to become […]

While much of, if not the majority of the WWE Universe was excited to see CM Punk make his surprise return at Survivor Series, one such name that fell into the minority was one of the promotion’s biggest stars, Seth Rollins, who stared angrily at the “Best in the World” before cursing out the returning […]

After watching Paul “Triple H” Levesque perfectly orchestrate the return of CM Punk to the WWE Universe, with “The Game” hitting play on a 2023 remix of “Cult of Personality” after the legal advisory flashed across the screen, more than a few professional wrestling fans from around the internet came to a remarkably similar conclusion: […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque took the proverbial stand after the Survivor Series press conference, opting to bat leadoff for very obvious reasons, most of the questions he received from the media in attendance had to do with the surprise return of the “Best in the World,” CM Punk. On paper – and, in the […]

Folks, it’s official: CM Punk is back in WWE. That’s right, after being fired on his wedding day nearly a decade ago and saying darn near every bad thing he could think of about the promotion during his time as a free agent, as a member of UFC, and most recently as a member of […]

The fallout from WWE’s latest Survivor Series is still being felt across pro wrestling with the return of CM Punk after a tumultuous last year with AEW. It appears not all in WWE are happy about the straight-edge superstar’s return though, with Drew McIntryre reportedly being on that list due to storming out after the […]

Cody Rhodes and CM Punk were co-workers in AEW for roughly six months before the former decided to take another crack at winning the “big one” in WWE. Over that short but sweet period of time when it felt like the promotion was on top of the world, the duo never shared the ring for […]

When the opening notes of “Cult of Personality” hit following the finish of the Men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series, it got more than a few fans in and around the WWE Universe hyped as all heck about the return of CM Punk. Suddenly, after being released on his wedding day, signing and being fired […]

Folks, it happened, it actually freakin’ happened: CM Punk returned to WWE after almost a decade away from the promotion. The crowd went wild – except for Seth Rollins – the internet went wilder, and reporters packed into the press conference to ask Paul “Triple H” Levesque what the heck happened. Fortunately, Lesvesque was willing […]

When Randy Orton was “late” to the start of Survivor Series, leaving his team to prepare for their WarGames match 5-on-4, it led more than a few fans in the Allstate Arena in Roseland, Illinois, to chant early and often for their favorite local wrestler, the “Second City Saint” himself, CM Punk, to defy the […]

In professional wrestling, even on a Premium Live Event like Survivor Series, some matches are more predictable than others. Sure, technically, anyone can win at any time in wrestling, as a booker can throw a curveball to keep his audience engaged, or an in-ring injury can result in a surprise finish even the referee doesn’t […]

Heading into Survivor Series, rumor had it that Santos Escobar was going to “squad up” ahead of his one-man war against the faction he helped to relaunch, LWO. From the main roster return of Los Lothorious to the main roster elevation of Elektra Lopez, who has every reason to be upset with Legado del Fantasma […]

Heading into the second match of Survivor Series, Gunther and The Miz were handed a bit of a raw deal from the WWE Universe. Tasked with following up a pretty good Women’s WarGames match that really heated up towards the end and a backstage segment where Sami Zayn noted to Jey Uso that Randy Orton […]

Coming into Survivor Series, Damage CTRL had all of the momentum ahead of their WarGames match against the thrown-together quartet of Becky Lynch, Shotzi, Bianca Belair, and Charlotte Flair. Sure, Bayley’s faction isn’t has seen some upheaval as of late, with Kairi Sane – a former Bayley rival – and her former Kabuki Warriors tag […]

As reporters waited in the bowels of the Kia Forum waiting to AEW’s Full Gear media scrum to start, all anyone could talk about was the Texas Death match between Swerve Strickland and “Hangman” Adam Page and how it stacked up to the comprehensive works of the biggest legend of the hardcore game, Mick Foley. […]

When Cody Rhodes broke – confirmed? – the news that Randy Orton was returning to the WWE Universe at Survivor Series, it marked a very exciting restart to a career more than a few fans thought was over. That’s right, after losing his tag titles alongside WWE’s former King of Bros, Matt Riddle, and going […]

At Survivor Series, The Miz has a chance to do the unthinkable: Dethrone Gunther as the Intercontinental Champion. Now granted, looked at in a vacuum by some otherworldly wrestling enthusiasts, seeing the “A-Lister” unseat the “Ring General” wouldn’t be that big of an upset, as Miz is a two-time Grand Slam Champion who has accomplished […]

It’s here, it’s finally here: WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. Soon, fans will get to see some of the biggest and best names in the WWE Universe shake it up in two rings under a gigantic cage, a pair of top-tier title matches featuring some of RAW and SmackDown‘s biggest stars, and even a showcase match […]

After watching Cody Rhodes make his not-so-surprising return at the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns keep his title reign alive at WrestleMania, and Jey Uso come up just short of being named the new Undisputed Universal Champion at SummerSlam, the WWE Universe has officially made its return to Chicago, Illinois, for Survivor Series, the final Big […]

Given the trajectory of all of the superstars involved in this year’s main event, it’s hard to predict who will win WWE’s Survivor Series Men’s War Games match. The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre need to be protected as a legitimate threat and a strong faction, so they definitely should still come out strong after […]

When Drew McIntyre turned heel mere weeks before Survivor Series, it turned heads around the WWE Universe. Sure, McIntyre was shading in that direction for some time, as he’d become increasingly upset with how his beef with The Bloodline was being treated by the rest of the RAW locker room, but by turning on Seth […]

With Survivor Series officially under 24 hours away, there’s one question that that is on the tip of every WWE fan, nay, every professional wrestling fan, from the most casual to the hardest of hardcore diehards: Will CM Punk make his long-awaited in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois? Some people are absolutely sure the “Best […]

After thoroughly establishing himself as one of the top stars in all of WWE regardless of brand, faction, or alignment, fans wondered how LA Knight would handle taking his first big loss as a member of SmackDown to Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel after experiencing a year of unseemingly unchecked upward momentum. Would Knight, a […]

When Sting officially signed with WWE in 2015, there was one dream match fans wanted to see more than any other: “The Icon” – even if he wasn’t known by that at the time – versus “The Deadman” himself, The Undertaker. I mean think about it, Sting and The Undertaker had a ton in common […]

When Santos Escobar announced to the WWE Universe that he was finished with Rey Mysterio for the unforgivable sin of… also being friends with Carlito, it shook up the top of the SmackDown roster. While sure, making new friends can shake things up inside a faction, with someone occasionally having to become the odd man […]

When it comes to the WWE Universe, no performer has appeared in more WarGames matches than Dakota Kai, the Neapolitan-haired member of Damage CTRL who has appeared in not one, not two, not three, but four different versions of the match, including its main roster debut at Survivor Series in 2022. While Kai technically won’t […]

Why did the Street Profits turn their backs on the WWE Universe in order to become a pair of suit-wearing, no-nonsense taking, occasionally cheating in the ring bad guys aligned with the heelish Bobby Lashley? Were the duo simply done with losing, as they haven’t had a title shot since just after WrestleMania and haven’t […]

D-Von Dudley and Bubba Ray Dudley, better known as the tag team legends The Dudley Boyz, may just be on their way back to WWE games in earnest. WWE 2K24 rumors that the Dudley Boyz will be headed to the next mainline WWE game next, following the two’s addition to the mobile game WWE SuperCard. […]

No one handed LA Knight his spot as one of the top stars in WWE. A former failed prospect who returned to developmental for a second time in his late 30s, Knight was initially called up to the main roster as a manager because Vince McMahon didn’t think he could work as a wrestler on […]

While Hulk Hogan may be considered one of the greatest performers in WWE history, one area where few will go to bat for the “Hulkster” is as an actor, as despite having appeared in 15 movies and dozens more television shows as a performer, he is still regarded as one of the worst to ever […]

As you may or may not know, WWE wasn’t the number one goal for Gunther when he started out his professional wrestling career. Sure, the man known affectionately as the “Ring General” wanted to make a living as a professional wrestler and did everything in his power to make that happen, but after coming up […]
