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.

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 […]

Booker T has accomplished a lot during his 23-year professional wrestling career. He’s been a part of part of a Hall of Fame-caliber tag team alongside Stevie Ray as part of Harlem Heat, joined arguably the greatest faction in TNA history alongside Kurt Angle in the Main Event Mafia, and had a singles reign as […]

In case you’re somehow living under a rock, you’ve probably heard that Ronda Rousey made her surprise debut for Ring of Honor at the “Fabulous” Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, last Friday, even if the show won’t officially drop until Thursday on Honor Club. While Tony Khan admitted that the “Baddest Woman on the Planet” […]

When Dave Meltzer let it be known that WWE had heavy interest in Stardom superstar Giulia, the current holder of the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship, it turned heads around the industry. While few fans in America were particularly familiar with what the “Glorious Warrior” brings to the table, as she’s only wrestled a single match […]

When Gunther began his professional wrestling journey all the way back in 2005, there wasn’t a clear pathway to WWE. Granted, there were plenty of European performers who worked for WWE or WCW during the time when Gunther was growing up, with performers like William Regal and Nikolai Volkoff coming up through the European scene […]

After losing out on signing Will Ospreay to AEW – which, as the “Commonwealth Kingpin” noted during the Full Gear media scrum, was never really an option on the table – another one of the top stars in TNA, “Speedball” Mike Bailey is approaching a free agent period of his own in 2024, as the […]

As the world prepares for the debut of The Iron Claw, a movie that has the potential to be the best film about wrestling since Darron Aronofsky tackled the sport with Mickey Rourke in his cinematic masterpiece The Wrestler, fans of the squared circle have begun to wonder how the story of the legendary Von […]

Since officially being traded from SmackDown to RAW, Jey Uso has largely remained a tag team specialist, trading the brotherly love of The Usos to his unnamed pairing with the “American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes; a union that placed him one tag team title reign ahead of Jimmy on the all-time WWE championship ledger. And yet, […]

When Cody Rhodes requested and was granted his release from WWE in 2016, the “Grandson of a Plumber” took it upon himself to borrow a page from his father’s playbook and blatantly promote himself from a makeup-wearing caricature into an undeniable force with enough star power to headline a brand new promotion on national television. […]

When Barmageddon announced that it was returning for season two following the exit of The Bellas from WWE, fans wondered how the USA Network show would handle a new, Nikki Garcia world, including what name they would call her by, how much of her past would be acknowledged, and if she was even allowed to […]

When Adam Copeland made the jump from WWE to AEW back in October, it left more than a few fans with hurt feelings. Granted, it felt pretty obvious that the pairing had run its course, as WWE gave Edge one final match on SmackDown against Sheamus that was presented like a massive deal, but behind […]

Now, as some fans may or may not know, there was a time in the late 1990s when Kurt Angle landing in WWE following the end of his amateur wrestling career was far from a guarantee. Sure, Angle still loved to grapple and had a solid head start when it came to transitioning into the […]

After 18 months away, it officially happened: Randy Orton made his shocking return to the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW to be the fifth member of Team Cody Rhodes at WarGames. Contacted earlier in the show by the “American Nightmare,” Orton got on the phone with Rhodes, Jey Uso, and the management duo of […]

[…]

Gunther is one of the biggest, baddest champions in the entire WWE Universe. Since defeating Ricochet for the International Championship last summer, the Ring General has defeated just about everyone on both RAW and SmackDown, with no signs of slowing down after a record-breaking 528-day -and counting – run with the “Workman’s Title.” Discussing the […]

After thoroughly dispatching John Cena at Crown Jewel, with Solo Sikoa hitting him in the throat about a half-dozen times with his signature Samoan Spikes on the way to a decisive victory, Paul Heyman and the rest of The Bloodline were feeling good, so much so that they requested a segment on SmackDown before Jimmy […]

At Crown Jewel, Logan Paul did something no other celebrity has done in WWE history: Win the United States Championship. That’s right, since the belt was first won by the late, great Eddie Guerrero in 2003, all 48 of the 48 performers who held the belt were, you know, full-time professional wrestlers, as opposed to […]

When Adam Copeland took the ring at AEW Full Gear, he experienced a whole lot of firsts. It was Copeland’s first time working a Pay-Per-View for AEW, his first time wrestling in the Kia Forum, and, if you can believe it, his first time working a “Premium Live Event” under his real name, with his […]

When news broke that Ronda Rousey, the UFC legend, WWE Superstar, and Southern California native, made a surprise appearance at the Ring of Honor taping at the Kia Forum following the conclusion of AEW Collision and Rampage, it turned heads around the industry.

But now, Goldberg’s future in wrestling is unclear. Given Goldberg’s dominance, have you ever wondered how a […]
