Carmelo Hayes is one of the hottest members of the NXT Roster, and it’s great to see him grow. However, his second appearance in a WWE 2K game is already seeing his WWE 2K24 ratings dip, so what’s in store for the young up-and-comer? Carmelo Hayes’ 81 WWE 2K24 OVR Rating is lower by a […]

Look, we get that AJ Styles isn’t getting any younger, but he’s still kicking, jumping, and performing as lithely as he ever has back when he debuted in the 2016 Royal Rumble, so we don’t entirely get how Visual Concepts felt it just right to rate him like they did. We get that Visual Concepts […]

Liv Morgan is still one of the more popular babyfaces within WWE, and her new WWE 2K24 ratings are a sign of that. Liv Morgan made her triumphant return at this year’s Royal Rumble, and despite losing that one, she declares the start of her Revenge Tour, hinting at a strong push for the months […]

The “King of Strong Style” Shinsuke Nakamura got his WWE 2K24 Ratings Reveal treatment but the OVR rating that he got isn’t a number you expect a king to have. Shinsuke Nakamura gets a disappointing 84 OVR rating, a far cry from Shinsuke’s desired 88 OVR rating. 88 feels like a fairer score for Shinsuke, […]

Becky Lynch, one of the most important women in wrestling, especially in the WWE, finally gets her WWE 2K24 ratings reveal treatment, but Big Time Becks isn’t so happy with her new rating. Becky Lynch has a high OVR rating in this new game, but she isn’t taking anything but perfection. She says that anything […]

Cody Rhodes is heavily favored to win his first singles championship in WWE since his return to the company during WrestleMania 38, and his fans continue to adore him. As a babyface, following wrestling rules, this means he’s getting an increase in his WWE 2K24 ratings, and that’s exactly what happened. Cody Rhodes got his […]

Johnny Gargano, former The Way leader and now one-half of the reformed #DIY stable, gets his rather disappointing WWE 2K24 ratings reveal. UpUpDownDown revealed to their current UpUpDownDown champion his WWE 2K24 ratings, and Johnny Gargano couldn’t be even more disappointed with the result. Johnny Gargano, sometimes called Johnny Wrestling by fans, only got a […]

The Ring General and leader of IMPERIUM Gunther continues to be a dominant figure in WWE TV, and his latest WWE 2K24 ratings reflect this. Imperium’s Gunther is dominating in the WWE, setting a new record for the most days with the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a single reign, and becoming one of WWE’s longest-reigning […]

Drew McIntyre hasn’t been lucky when he was trying to win any gold in the past year, and although he has remained a relevant figure in the WWE main event scene, his lack of gold is reflected in his new WWE 2K24 ratings. His new 89 OVR Rating is the lowest he’s had since the […]

WWE 2K24 Ratings Reveal season continues with The Bloodline, the most important faction of the WWE landscape today. Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa have all been crucial pieces to The Road to WrestleMania XL, and we now have their OVR ratings with us. “Main Event” Jey Uso leads his brothers in terms of […]

The WWE 2K24 Ratings Reveal for another faction, the Alpha Academy, is here! Check out the ratings for Akira Tozawa, Maxxine Dupri, Otis, and Chad Gable in this article. The Alpha Academy is one of the most popular stables in WWE today, but more due to their comedic antics rather than wrestling acumen. The gimmick […]

The WWE 2K24 Ratings Reveal season continues as we get the OVR ratings of the Judgment Day’s Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Damian Priest. Although they haven’t been involved in the major storyline heading into WrestleMania XL, the Judgment Day remains one of the most dominant factions in WWE. Yesterday, UpUpDownDown revealed the WWE 2K24 […]

By turning on Trick Williams at the end of his match against Ilja Dragunov at Vengeance Day, Carmelo Hayes instantly transformed himself into the biggest heel on the NXT brand. Now granted, it’s not like Hayes hasn’t been a heel before, as he only turned face after defeating Bron Breakker to become the NXT Champion […]

On February 16th, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made it official, cementing his status not only as a member of The Bloodline but as a certified heel by pretty much eviscerating the fine people of Salt Lake City, Utah in a promo for the ages on SmackDown. Now granted, none of this was particularly surprising, as […]

Tyler Breeze is a WWE free agent… kind of. Though technically under contract with the promotion as part of his involvement with UpUpDownDown, appearing regularly on Xavier Woods’ YouTube show and even bumping across the proverbial screen to The Bump to talk wrestling in person from time to time, Breeze is also allowed to wrestle […]

Though there are still a few weeks left before Becky Lynch’s book, “Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl,” is officially released to the general wrestling-reading public, the excitement surrounding the secrets has already started to grow, with “The Man” cross-promoting her new effort alongside her very real desire to become the next […]

Though she’s technically been a called-up member of the WWE roster since July of 2021, Shotzi has never really left NXT for good, returning to the brand for three straight years to host the Halloween Havoc in the pursuit of Elvira’s all-time record. So naturally, when Shotzi came back to NXT last month for a […]

The final RAW before Elimination Chamber was tasked with checking multiple WWE boxes. The final live main roster show before an early morning effort in Perth, Australia, at least by North American timezones, Paul “Triple H” Levesque and company had to juice up the rivalries being presented to some 45,000 fans at the Optus Stadium, […]

It looks like the highly-anticipated Michael Chandler – Conor McGregor clash will have to wait. Despite rumors going around that the two will finally clash in the Octagon during UFC 300, the UFC itself put an end to the speculation by announcing April 13’s main card…which didn’t include both fighters. Headlining UFC 300 is a […]

As the WWE Universe turned its collective eyes to the big guns of the women’s division on a very female-centric episode of Monday Night RAW, one of the more underrated stories of the night belonged to Zelina Vega, who was once again prevented from moving her career further due to continued interference from the newest […]

Ever since she joined Damian Priest as a member of Edge’s Judgment Day – which, frankly, feels like a decade ago – the WWE Universe has known Rhea Ripley as one thing and one thing alone: a heel. Now granted, the exact flavor of heel Ripley has filled on the menu has changed from time […]

Though he’s officially been out of action for the better part of a month now following a torn triceps at the 2024 Royal Rumble, CM Punk remains a hot topic of conversation heading into the “Road to WrestleMania,” with Drew McIntyre refusing to go a week without trashing the “Second City Saint.” Now granted, some […]

When it comes to main roster dominance, few WWE Superstars have as dominant a resume as Brock Lesnar. A mountain of a man with a borderline unmatched physique, Lesnar has pretty much accomplished everything one can in the world of combat sports, becoming the only man in history to hold the NCAA Heavyweight Champion, the […]

When Rhea Ripley outlasted the field and won the 2023 Royal Rumble, it left fans with one obvious conclusion: Mami was going to main event Night 1 of WrestleMania 39. On paper, the assumption made sense, right? Since WrestleMania expanded to two nights instead of a one-day tour de force, female performers have always had […]

If there’s one word to describe Drew McIntyre‘s current character within the WWE Universe, it’s got to be a hater. A certified bad boy who has cashed in his babyface credentials after a series of frustrating come-up-shorts for a very 2024 take on being a heel, McIntyre has fully taken advantage of all of the […]

There once was a time when CM Punk was absolutely furious to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on the opposite side of the Vs. symbol at the Royal Rumble, cutting a scathing promo to level “The Great One” for not being in his league, all the while knowing full well what Vince McMahon had in […]

Ever since The Rock made a surprise return to SmackDown a couple of weeks ago in Birmingham, Alabama, it has completely changed the WrestleMania 40 main event, which is now set to be Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Championship. When Rhodes announced on that same episode that he would not be challenging […]

When it comes to on-screen storylines within the WWE Universe, few hold the same weight, excitement, and historical significance as the battle between Cody Rhodes – plus Seth Rollins – and The Bloodline, which now officially features the biggest get of them all, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, alongside Roman Reigns. From speculation about how much […]

For a few years there, at the turn of the decade, it’s hard to argue that there was a more popular member of the WWE Universe, at least in the opinion of Vince McMahon, than Matt Riddle. A booker noted for playing favorites, Mr. McMahon would routinely give time to performers that weren’t exactly favorites […]

After slowly working her way into a featured spot on the SmackDown roster, beating Mia Yim in her debut match on the brand, Tiffany Stratton was presented with the next major challenge in her main roster run: qualifying for a spot on her first main roster Premium Live Event, the Elimination Chamber, in Perth, Australia. […]

When Hulk Hogan left the green pastures of WWE behind to become an official member of WCW in 1994, it served as a major inflection point in the professional wrestling industry. Sure, WCW and its predecessor, Jim Crockett Promotions, had stars in the past, with Ric Flair and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat having many of […]

When Johnny Gargano‘s run in NXT came to an end at the culmination of his contract, fans wondered where the leader of The Way would wrestle next. Would he stick around in WWE, returning to the promotion for another run in NXT or a spot on the main roster on RAW or SmackDown? Or would […]

When WWE announced that they were releasing Nic Nemeth, aka the Superstar formerly known as Dolph Ziggler, it came as a major surprise. Now granted, it’s not like Nemeth was being used on television regularly, as he’d only worked nine matches on television in 2023 for WWE, but still, with his 20th anniversary with the […]

Logan Paul has really proven himself to be a bona fide star in WWE. His rising stock in the company has landed him a championship belt and became one of the superstars who had the least number of matches before earning their first strap of gold in the company. Even though Paul hasn’t really wrestled […]

Kevin Owens is one of the most popular babyfaces in WWE over the past year. Alongside his best friend Sami Zayn, Owens won the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championships on Night 1 of WrestleMania 39. In spite of that, we saw Kevin Owens’ WWE 2K24 rating go down this year compared to last year, although […]

After spending the better part of two hours building up a “generational” in-ring meeting between The Rock and Roman Reigns, fans were surprised that just the “OG” members of The Bloodline opened up the segment, with the “Tribal Chief” looking very eager indeed to address all of the Salt Lake City fans packed into the […]

In an interview with ESPN’s Marc Raimondi from that WWE WrestleMania 40 Kickoff event that was released on February 12th, Seth Rollins made headlines – most of them bad – for boldly declaring that UFC Fighters “don’t have the stamina” to do what he does night in and night out. Now to some, these words […]

When telling the story of NXT, few performers are as tied to the promotion, especially since Shawn Michaels took over creative, as Johnny Gargano. An NXT Triple Crown Champion who found incredible success in his tag team with Tommaso Ciampa, #DIY, a loving faction in his familial The Way, and even legendary status as HBK’s […]

When it comes to tag teams in the WWE Universe, few have found themselves with as big a rocket strapped to their backs as the Creed Brothers, Julius and Brutus, plus their third, Ivy Nile, for good measure. Since being officially called up to the main roster in November of 2023, the duo have won […]
