When WWF Champion/NWO founder/Kliq member Kevin Nash made the bold claim that LA Knight is nothing but a rip-off of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and/or Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, it created a clear divide among fans of professional wrestling of WWE’s resident “Megastar.” For some, the comparison was apt; Knight has a certain type of […]

In the opinion of future WWE Hall of Famer Matt Hardy, before there was the Blackpool Combat Club, Jon Moxley’s collection of violent gentlemen that also features Bryan Danielson, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli, there was the BAR, a fighting faction back in The Fed that featured Sheamus and the current Ring of Honor World […]

When Big E took a particularly stiff suplex outside of the ring on the March 11th edition of SmackDown, few thought at the time that it would be the last time WWE fans would see the pancake-loving superstar in a professional ring for going on 16 months and counting.

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins are married. They have a child together, call Monday Night RAW home together, and even interact from time to time on television, like when the “Visionary” noted his disappointment in his wife coming up short in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match.
