LA Knight is a star in the making in WWE. In fact, LA Knight is a megastar in the making in WWE. After a rough start on the main roster, he is on a trajectory to be a future world champion. He’s the fan favorite to win the upcoming Money in the Bank match, which […]

When Bryan Danielson took the ring in the main event of Forbidden Door II opposite Kazuchika Okada, the “American Dragon” knew he was in for one heck of an ordeal, but little did he know that, roughly 20 minutes later, he’d find himself with a broken forearm and an uphill climb to prove he’s the […]

On June 22nd, 1998, Edge made his debut on Monday Night RAW when he took the ring against Jose Estrada Jr. and secured a win in roughly one minute via count out. Now granted, this wasn’t Edge’s actual first match for The Fed, as he was doing work as enhancement talent all the way back […]

After booking Pretty Deadly for a special edition of The Grayson Waller Effect live on SmackDown at the Cajundome in Louisiana, Grayson Waller found out that he would be hosting none other than Logan Paul on the final edition of WWE television before Money in the Bank, live from the O2 Arena in London, England. […]

For a young Canadian wrestler-in-training like Sami Zayn, there were few performers as aspirational as Edge, the Orangeville, Ontario, native who came up on the indies before becoming the “Rated-R Superstar” under the watchful eye of Vince McMahon. Originally debuting in the ring all the way back in 1993 under his real name, Adam Copeland, […]

And just like that, there were one; in a little over 10 minutes on SmackDown, Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler silenced any doubts about their WWE future both individually and as a tag team by putting down the dynamic duo of Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn, better known as The Unholy Union, to become the […]

After traveling up and down the indie roads for the better part of 20 years, Eli Drake was finally afforded a chance to test his game against the rest of the best of the best the world has to offer in WWE, where he was assigned to NXT under the moniker LA Knight. Unsurprisingly, Knight’s […]

At this point, what more is there to accomplish for Roman Reigns in WWE? He’s already hit 1,000 days as Champion, surpassing Pedro Morales for the forth-longest championship reigns in the promotion’s history, and after main eventing the last three WrestleManias, he’s effectively entered unprecedented territory as the sort of champion WWE had to christen […]

After almost two months away, Liv Morgan finally made her way back to the WWE Universe, taking the ring alongside her tag team partner Raquel Rodriguez after the current champs, Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, defeated Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre to unify the NXT and WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship belts into one entity. […]

After spending the better part of his adult life in a professional wrestling ring for WCW, WWE, TNA, and his own Reality of Wrestling, two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has found a new way to contribute to the business as a commentator at NXT, where his unique take on the sport and his […]

After punching their ticket to the O2 Arena in London for a WWE World Tag Team Championship match with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, Pretty Deadly found themselves the special guests of The Grayson Waller Effect, the Smackdown-based talk show that just can’t seem to get over with audiences despite the undeniable charisma of its […]

One week removed from his decision to reunite The Usos instead of sticking it out as a singles star with Solo Sikoa, Roman Reigns, and Paul Heyman, Jimmy, and Jey Uso decided to address the WWE Universe in order to explain why they effectively dashed The Bloodline once and for all. After some semantic adjustments, […]

What is the most memorable Money in the Bank cash-in of all time? Is it Seth Rollins betraying Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 31? Dolph Ziggler’s cash-in on Alberto Del Rio in 2013? Or how about Austin Theory’s decision to cash-in on “The Visionary” on a random episode of RAW for the United States Championship, a […]

When it comes to professional wrestling, few Superstars, regardless of age, gender, or employer, have had as much success in the ring as Becky Lynch. Once known simply as “The Man” for being the top performer in WWE, Lynch has been a part of seven different championship reigns since landing in WWE in 2013 and […]

After being linked to Ronda Rousey in WWE basically since “The Baddest Woman on the Planet” made her debut in the promotion in 2014, Shayna Baszler was finally afforded a chance to work with her former UFC buddy in the ring full-time in 2023, when the duo linked up to become a tag team. Winning […]

Before there was LA Knight, at least on the main roster, there was Max Dupri, the brother of future Alpha Academy member Maxxine, and the manager of the Maximum Male Models, a faction that may or may not still exist in WWE. The character was more creepy than charismatic, his catchphrases were more about “juices” […]

Roman Reigns has been one of the most notable superstars in WWE over the last ten years. It wasn’t until nearly three years ago when Roman Reigns became the megastar WWE always envisioned him becoming. After taking a brief hiatus from the company after the start of the pandemic, Reigns returned with a vengeance. After […]

After watching his WWE contract come to an end, crucially without a retirement match – something that may or may not have been promised by Vince McMahon to the WCW legend – fans have been eagerly wondering what will come next for Bill Goldberg. Will he go on an indie world tour looking for the […]

The New Day are recognized as one of the greatest factions in wrestling history. One way or another, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E have been members of The New Day since 2014. Since forming, they’ve won 12 Tag Team Championships, and Kofi Kingston and Big E each won the WWE Championship. Xavier Woods […]

It started with a silly name. What exactly did the name “The Judgment Day” really mean? Wasn’t that the name of a former WWE pay-per-view? Was the newly formed faction going to be this era’s version of The Brood? Which in retrospect wasn’t that successful of a wrestling stable as everyone previously thought. The Judgment […]

In professional wrestling, every indie star is looking to latch on with a mainstream promotion – be that WWE, AEW, Impact, or New Japan Pro Wrestling –  and turn their passion into a full-time job. Sure, traveling the highways going city to city can be an incredible thing, with established stars occasionally even making their […]

As the WWE Universe prepares to descend on London for a pair of shows headlined by the Money in the Bank at the O2 Arena, one of the acts that curiously isn’t scheduled for a spot on the show is none other than Sheamus, the 12-time WWE Champion and leader of the Brawling Brutes. Now […]

Monday Night RAW was not a bellwether showing for Raquel Rodriguez. Slated for a Money in the Bank qualifying match for the Women’s Ladder match, Rodriguez found her efforts dashed by some unprompted interference from Becky Lynch, and had to watch in horror as Trish Stratus punched her ticket to London on a technicality, as […]

Seth Rollins is a lot of things to the WWE Universe; he’s a “Visionary,” he’s a “Revolutionary,” he’s the workhorse World Heavyweight Champion with two successful television title defense this month alone, and he’s somehow become the top babyface in the company despite Paul “Triple H” Levesque and company pushing Cody Rhodes to fill that […]

After taking a loss at Night of Champions to Gunther in a match he hyped up as a career-defining bout one way or another, Mustafa Ali found himself on the wrong side of the results column and a free agent in the WWE after being overlooked by both RAW and SmackDown in the draft. Fortunately, […]

After holding the Intercontinental Championship for 376 days and counting, coming just 78 days short of the Honkytonk Man’s record of 454, it’s only natural for fans and professional wrestling pundits alike to wonder if the time is right for Gunther to step out of the comfort zone and take a shot at one of […]

After taking part in his first NXT match since all the way back in 2013, Seth Rollins had to deal with a second battle at the Performance Center when his current archrival Finn Balor jumped him from behind and began spamming stomps until Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams, fresh off of some locker room wisdom […]

With one spot left in the Money in the Bank Women’s Ladder match, Raquel Rodriguez found herself in a bit of a two-on-one situation when Trish Stratus, her opponent in the match, started getting help from her protege Zoey Stark, who has already qualified for the contest. This, understandably, didn’t sit too well with babyface […]

While Bronson Reed still hasn’t qualified for a match at Money in the Bank, with Logan Paul nominating himself for the last spot in the Ladder match despite somehow avoiding a qualifying match of his own, that hasn’t stopped the New Zeland-born Superstar from pretty much running the table every time he gets in a […]

After two weeks of anticipation, Seth Rollins finally got in the ring with Bron Breakker at NXT Gold Rush, and needless to say, he tore the roof off the Performance Center in Orlando. Taking the ring second to his familiar war chorus demanding that “The Visionary” does everything in his power to “burn it down” […]

After weeks of back-and-forth action, with Eddy Thorpe securing wins over Damon Kemp in two straight matches – albeit, under slightly dubious conditions – the older brother of Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson was afforded a chance to settle things with the man formerly known as Karl Fredericks via a rubber match of sorts using […]

After coming up short in their first match on RAW, losing to Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler in their first match after winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, Kayden Carter and Katana Chance secured their first-ever win on the main roster, securing the W over Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville in a short but […]

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, for better or worse, will forever be linked in the WWE Universe. Though they took different paths to The Fed, with the former working the indies and Ring of Honor as Tyler Black whereas the latter was born into the business as the son of a Wild Samoan, when the […]

After hyping up his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday Night RAW, Seth Rollins was ultimately unable to stop by the former All-Pro punter’s show, likely due to his rib injury at the hands of Finn Balor and his forthcoming WWE World Championship match with Bron Breakker on NXT. A bummer? You bet, […]

On August 16th, 2020, everything changed for WWE Superstar Sonya Deville. Firmly entrenched in the waning moments of a long-standing storyline with Mandy Rose, who went from her Fire and Desire tag team partner, to her former friend firmly entrenched in a love triangle with Dolph Ziggler and Otis, Deville was supposed to take part […]

After two months away from a WWE ring, Logan Paul made his triumphant return at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio, to give his hometown fans a lecture on the city’s losing ways and why he is going to change that by winning the Money in the Bank Ladder match and cashing it in […]

After making a rare trip over from SmackDown to RAW to help drum up excitement for Money in the Bank, imagine the shock LA Knight must have felt when none other than Logan Paul – the man often called a “Social Media Megastar” despite LA Knight clearly having claim to the moniker –  announced that […]

In professional wrestling, an untimely injury can ruin a push indefinitely; it happened to Finn Balor seven years ago after his match with Seth Rolllins at SummerSlam, to Tommaso Ciampa just after his loss to Austin Theory in a Harley Race-themed match for the United States Championship, and potentially happened to “The Visionary” too, when […]

This was supposed to be a very busy week for Seth Rollins in the WWE Universe. First, he was supposed to have an open WWE World Heavyweight Championship challenge on RAW, with The Miz suggesting that he was going to take on the offer in front of his hometown crowd before taking a redeye to […]
