Are AEW and WWE at war? Are the two promotions actively comparing notes each week to really try to get one over on their foe? Or are each promotion simply happy to do their own things and excel at what they do best? Well, one fan decided to ask Mark Henry that very question on […]

On paper, Logan Paul and Dominik Mysterio have a lot in common; they both have famous family members, they both make their money in the entertainment industry, and, when it comes to WWE specifically, they both get booed borderline out of the building by fans from London to Cleveland and everywhere in between. Discussing his […]

After splitting their matches on a second-straight episode of RAW, the members of Alpha Academy, Chad Gable, Otis, and Maxxine Dupri, took their show to the locker room to evaluate their options against an Imperium trio that just won’t seem to quit. On paper, the faction is far better off than they were even a […]

You know CM Punk drama is getting big when Booker T discusses it on his Hall of Fame podcast. After cutting a maybe work, maybe shoot, maybe in jest promo on “Hangman” Adam Page after Collision went off the air, a matter made all the more difficult when coupled with the reports that the “Anxious […]

When Rob Van Dam made his debut appearance and then debut match on AEW Dynamite, it sent more than a few fans of WWE up in arms. Sure, RVD has been wrestling all over the world since his run in Impact Wrestling came to an end, wrestling for Frontline Pro, BCW, OTT, NOAH, 1PW, and […]

When news broke that the screen actors guild – SAG-AFTRA – was going on strike, leaving hundreds of thousands of performers with incredible uncertainty regarding their financial stability, more than a few WWE fans began banging the table in the hopes of seeing John Cena, Dave Batista, or the promotion’s current white whale, Dwayne “The […]

Brock Lesnar isn’t just a wrestler; he’s a force. When he shows up in WWE for the few matches he wrestles a year, he rolls through, collects his million-or-so dollars, and runs through the hits – the F5s, the trips to Suplex City, the Kimuras – before doing his job one way or another. Though […]

After listening to Michael Cole try – and fail – to ask Shinsuke Nakamura about why nailed Seth Rollins with a Kinshasa in the closing moments of the fallout edition of RAW after SummerSlam, the “Visionary” made his way down to the ring to address his former friend-turned-sudden foe in order to see if he […]

Last Friday night on SmackDown, Rey Mysterio shocked viewers when he walked away from the show with the United States Championship, defeating Austin Theory in the process. Mysterio, 48, is considered by some as the greatest Latino wrestler of all time, and by some, he’s considered the greatest of all time. Now it looks like […]

Things have changed a lot for Seth Rollins over the past few years within the WWE Universe and outside of it; he’s turned heel, had a baby, cycled through about a half dozen different monikers, and became WWE’s reigning “Drip King,” at last on the male side of the roster. Stopping by GQ to talk […]

When Jimmy Uso made his surprise return at SummerSlam to help Roman Reigns, not his twin brother Jey Uso, secure the win in the main event match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, it turned heads around the professional wrestling world, with even former mainstays of the promotion, like Matt Hardy, weighing in on whether […]

Watch watching her tag team partner, Sonya Deville, suffer a torn ACL that will keep her out of action for the rest of the year and much of 2024, Chelsea Green has taken it upon herself to keep her championship reign alive via #ChelseasGotTalent, her one-woman competition show that has since taken the internet by […]

Though Asuka is a huge fan of her current professional wrestling employer, WWE, she’s much more critical of the promotions back in Japan, where she worked the first 12 years of her career largely under the Kana moniker. Taking to Twitter to voice her concerns with how Japanese media has taken shorts at her expense, […]

When Seth Rollins calls himself WWE’s Workhorse Champion, he isn’t kidding. Since winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in May of 2023, the “Visionary” has wrestled 25 matches, nine of which were broadcast on television or on a Premium Live Event, and kept his title reign alive despite drawing the eye of all four members […]

After failing to be booked for a match on the SmackDown after SummerSlam, IYO SKY and her Damage CTRL teammates, Bayley and Dakota Kai, made their presence known anyway, attacking Charlotte Flair and Asuka during their mid-show rematch and sending it to a draw in favor of another highlight reel moment by the “Genius of […]

Officially landing the […]

Though Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens haven’t defended their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships since July 17th due to injuries, they may already have new challengers lined up for when they return in the Good Brothers, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, who, if you can believe it, haven’t had a shot at the titles since […]

When Roman Reigns took the ring against Jey Uso in the main event of SummerSlam, fans packed themselves into their seats for what was destined to be a long, hard-hitting match. The keyword in that sentence? Long. Wrestling for over 40 minutes in a match that featured interference spot after interference spot, Reigns retained his […]

Ricochet is in the middle of a serious hot streak in the WWE Universe. Since scoring a viral moment with Logan Paul at the Royal Rumble, Ricochet has been on a roll, forging a seemingly leggy tag team with Braun Strowman that was cruelly dashed when the “Monster Of All Monsters” suffered a neck injury […]

When Cody Rhodes returned from injury at the 2023 Royal Rumble, it added a very big fish to a pond that was already feeling increasingly small. Suddenly, Rhodes secured a guaranteed main event title shot at WrestleMania 39, a decision made easy considering Roman Reigns already held both of WWE’s world championships, and after over […]

Though it wasn’t how he expected his night to end, Rey Mysterio found himself on top of Austin Theory for the 1-2-3 in the main event match of SmackDown, adding a 16th title reign in WWE to his resume – 26 in total if you count WCW – and becoming the new United States Champion. […]

Though Booker T is a gainful employee of WWE, he isn’t afraid to call it like it is when it comes to the product the promotion puts on the screen. He’s admitted he wasn’t initially sold on performers like Wes Lee before getting to watch their work hands-on, noted he still isn’t sold on Gable […]

Diamond Dallas Page has seen a lot in his professional wrestling career; he’s seen highs, like winning the WCW World Championship and being in Cody Rhodes’ corner for his early AEW matches; he’s seen lows like Ready to Rumble and his stalker character in WWE, and yet, through it all, he has become one of […]

Before Gunther won the Intercontinental Championship in 2022, before he held the NXT UK Championship for nearly 900 days, and before he even signed a contract with WWE in the first place, he was Walter, the Austrian monster who had over 900 matches on his resume split over a 17-year independent career. How does it […]

After watching quite possibly the wildest end to one of his matches yet, when Jimmy Uso pulled his twin brother Jey Uso out of the ring just before he was ready to secure his second pin-fall victory over the “Tribal Chief” in as many months – this time with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on […]

Though he wasn’t scheduled to appear on SmackDown and the three-man debuting commentary team of Corey Graves, Kevin Patrick, and Michael Cole even highlighted his future 25th Anniversary Celebration on the next edition of SmackDown, Edge decided to show up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to discuss his past, his present, and his future in the […]

After hyping up the title match between Austin Theory and Santos Escobar on social media, WWE’s marquee showdown of the night almost didn’t happen, as during the “Emperor of Luche Libre’s” scheduled time with Cathy Kelley, he was jumped and unceremoniously beaten down, with his leg crushed inside a travel case, Rey Mysterio, Zelina Vega, […]

When Austin Theory landed a feud with John Cena heading into WrestleMania 39, it felt like a make-or-break moment for the once and current United States Champion. Sure, Theory had some respectable title matches before taking the ring for the opening match of Day 1 of WrestleMania 39, with wins over Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, […]

Booker T knows that LA Knight is over; he’s seen the reaction the “Megastar” received in NXT and now on SmackDown, he’s watched how fans react to him at Premoum Live Events like Money in the Bank and SummerSlam, and he’s probably noticed just how many t-shirts the pride of Los Angeles, California has sold […]

When Roderick Strong made his surprise debut on the April 26th edition of AEW Dynamite, it turned a lot of heads in professional wrestling because, well, basically everyone assumed he was still under contract with WWE. After being sidelined with a Kayfabe neck injury that sent him to the hospital by former Diamond Mine member […]

When SmackDown comes to an end tonight on Fox, someone will walk out of the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, as the United States Champion, either Austin Theory or Santos Escobar… or Damian Priest, if he opts to cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase and pull off one of the strangest heists […]

When news broke that Sonya Deville was going to miss the remainder of the year and a good portion of 2024 with a torn ACL, it led many a fan to wonder what would happen to Chelsea Green, the other current holder of the title, after unseating Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on July 17th. […]

What is Karl Anderson‘s legacy in professional wrestling? Will he be remembered for the G1 Climax in 2012? For being one of the few modern WWE wrestlers who worked a match in New Japan while still under contract? Or will it be for taking part in The Undertaker’s final bout, the Boneyard March? Asked this […]

SummerSlam was an incredible, full-circle moment for the members of Damage CTRL After Bayley officially formed the faction at SummerSlam 2022, marching to the ring with Dakota Kai and IYO SKY by her side to challenge Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair, the group found themselves off the card but still made an impact on the […]
