Seth Rollins has been working in the professional wrestling trenches for 19 years and counting. Since debuting for SCW all the way back in August of 2004 under the Gixx moniker – if you can believe it – Rollins has worked for 46 different companies before he made WWE his home, and has wrestled over […]

If there’s one topic that wrestling fans have thoroughly enjoyed debating over the past month or so, it’s whether or not LA Knight is a “ripoff” of Attitude Era legends like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and whether or not that has any effect on his status as WWE’s fastest-rising “Megastar” […]

When news broke that WWE legend Rick Steiner went on an unprompted transphobic rant directed at former PROGRESS Women’s Champion and current Impact star Gisele Shaw at Los Angeles Wrestlecon, it left many a professional wrestling fans not only disappointed in the former WWF Tag Team Champion’s behavior but completely disinterested in seeing Bron Breakker‘s […]

After thoroughly bruising Logan Paul’s ego – and face – on the previous edition of RAW via a combination potent tounge lashing/Sliced Bread, the “One and Only” Ricochet was feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good about himself heading into the July 17th edition of WWE’s flagship show. Though he didn’t have a match booked for the […]

After finding a near-immediate niche as a “Mizion” alongside the “A-List” on Monday Night RAW, Tommaso Ciampa has rapidly found himself an island unto himself in the WWE Universe. His relationship with The Miz? Gone, Ciampa turned on him as soon as he was cleared to wrestle and started a war the star of Miz […]

For the second time in as many weeks, Shayna Baszler secured a quick, entertaining win on Monday Night RAW, proving that she can be successful in-ring without Ronda Rousey walking beside her. And yet, despite Baszler’s success in the match, submitting Nikki Cross in roundly 17 seconds, that didn’t stop Rousey from sticking her nose […]

After watching her husband land a match at Summerslam before taking a chair to the face from Finn Balor, Becky Lynch booked herself for a special edition of Miz TV in the hopes of airing out some of her own issues and maybe, just maybe, getting a rubber match of her own at the biggest […]

After watching Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar go to war in the opening segment of RAW – Rhodes with his words, Lesnar with his fists – and the duo of Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green take the Women’s Tag Team Championship belts off of Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez – thanks to an assist from […]

Though WWE announced before RAW that Brock Lesnar would be in Atlanta to answer Cody Rhodes‘ challenge for a match at SummerSlam, that didn’t stop the “American Nightmare” from requesting the opening segment of WWE’s flagship show to discuss the match folks have been waiting to see, but not without making things incredibly personal for […]

Though they aren’t always the center of WWE’s weekly television offerings, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have been on a tear as of late, keeping their tag team record perfect when the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles are on the line, even if they’ve individually taken losses at the hands of Gunther and, in KO’s […]

Kevin Nash is a very busy man. Though his professional wrestling career is long over from an in-ring sense, with his last match coming at Big Time Wrestling all the way back in 2018, Diesel has remained an active part of the community, appearing at conventions, stopping by WWE programming from time to time, and […]

When Shawn Michaels made his debut for MSW all the way back in 1984, professional wrestling was a very different place. Sure, some things have remained the same to this very day, as Vince McMahon is still more or less in charge of WWE, but the way performers are treated both by promoters and other […]

Just under five years after she retired from in-ring action as a member of WWE, Paige made her triumphant return to professional wrestling at AEW’s Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, under her given name, Saraya. For fans who grew up watching, idealizing, or being inspired to enter the industry by […]

As Shawn Michaels and WWE attempt to elevate the NXT brand to new heights, mainly with weekly viewers but in general too, the dynamic quarter of Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio, collectively known as The Judgment Day, have made flying into Orlando immediately after RAW a part of their weekly routine, […]

Though Kurt Angle has been a part of many interesting angles during his time in WWE both before and after announcing his retirement, one of the groups he actually founded and spend a not-insignificant period of his career in was the Main Event Mafia, a faction of largely ex-WWE performer in TNA who banded together […]

After already booking himself an open challenge match with Wes Lee for the NXT North American Championship, Dominik Mysterio decided to double down on his championship pursuits in the hopes of adding not just one but two more titles to The Judgment Day’s war chest. How? By taking to social media to challenge Kevin Owens […]

Though it feels like he’s been using it forever, Seth Rollins only debuted the song “Visionary” at WrestleMania 37, ditching “The Rising” from his Monday Night Messiah days and “The Second Coming,” which came before it. Initially, the song was met with a positive response, as fans liked that it began with “Burn it Down” […]

Rhea Ripley is an absolute star. A triple crown champion who became the youngest person in WWE history to accomplish the feat at WrestleMania 39, Ripley is currently entrenched as the first-ever WWE Women’s World Champion in day 106 of her reign, and while she hasn’t had a relentless schedule, she remains one of the […]

The Miz has been a member of the WWE Universe for almost 20 years. He’s been a main event star who headlined WrestleMania, and he’s been an opening match performer who famously had to change in the public bathrooms because of the cruel hazing of Chris Benoit and/or JBL, depending on which story you believe. […]

While Shawn Michaels, by his own admission, doesn’t always get every booking decision he wants for NXT, as developmental understandably falls a bit lower on the pecking order than RAW and SmackDown, HBK has been incredibly creative in finding ways to put his young Superstars over with a little help from the experienced stars who […]

After watching Bayley secure a relatively easy win on SmackDown in her first match against Zelina Vega since Money in the Bank, Shotzi took over the Titantron to deliver a message to the “Role Model” following a brutal assault that left her with a lock of hair sheered straight off. “When Bayley held me down […]

After having a ringside seat for the United States Title Invitational, Austin Theory stopped by the backstage area on SmackDown to discuss what he witnessed with the newly minted Blue Brand backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley.

After watching Santos Escobar punch his ticket to the second round of the United States Title Invitational, the next four entrants in the contest, Rey Mysterio, Cameron Grimes, Sheamus, and LA Knight, were afforded a chance to address the WWE Universe and give a few words on what taking the strap off of Austin Theory […]

After a week of anticipation, the WWE Universe finally got to hear what Jey Uso had to say about his battle with Roman Reigns at Tribal Court, where Jimmy Uso suffered an injury Michael Cole revealed to be “ruptured rib cartilage” that will leave him out of action indefinitely. Welcomed to the ring like a […]

With a title shot finally booked against Asuka for the WWE Women’s Champion on SmackDown, Bianca Belair took the ring for the opening segment of the show in order to lay out her plans for the proceedings. “You know, people always say things like patience is a virtue and good times come to those who […]

After truly getting into it with the “Great One,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on Twitter, with the former making fun of Rocky Maivia’s outfit from his debut in Madison Square Garden and the certified Hall of Famer firing back with a diss of his own, calling the “Aussie Showoff” a “Outback Jack Off,” surely Grayson […]

With NXT’s The Great American Bash rapidly approaching, Shawn Michaels has been working the phones and working his webcam like crazy to help get more eyes on his top stars like Carmelo Hayes, Ilya Dragunov, Tiffany Stratton, and maybe even Bron Breakker, who doesn’t technically have a match on the card just yet but could […]

After two separate stints on the indies, Karrion Kross knows a thing or two about the differences between how WWE likes to put angles together and how companies like Impact, New Japan, Major League Wrestling, and even your local indie opt to run their shows. Some value hard-hitting, shoot-esque action, others, like Lucha Underground – […]

As crazy as it may sound, The Miz is one of the most veteran active in-ring performers on the WWE roster right now. Initially signing up with the company all the way back in 2004, The Miz has wrestled in over 2,000 matches for WWE, according to Cagematch, and has a lengthy list of championship […]

After 14 reigns with a world title, Charlotte Flair has pretty much faced off against any performer one can think of within the WWE Universe. Becky Lynch? Been there, done that over 300 times if you count tag team matches. Rhea Ripley? That’s happened, too, most recently at WrestleMania 39. Heck, outside of NXT stars […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced the christening of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, the title eventually won by Seth Rollins at Night of Champions, the belt was immediately christened the WWE Universe’s new bronze medal by fans, as apparently, Roman Reigns was simply too good to give up either of his titles. The current […]

Seth Rollins is one of the most popular wrestlers on the planet today.

Though he may have a, shall we say, prickly exterior, in his heart, Grayson Waller is kind, even generous. When Logan Paul landed himself a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, Waller offered him up a seat on The Grayson Waller Effect to discuss his intentions in London. When Edge returned to […]

After watching Zoey Stark take care of business in the ring against Becky Lynch in their first match post Money in the Bank, Trish Stratus was overjoyed to run backstage with her “lapdog” to discuss the downfall of her former tag team partner for a WWE Digital Exclusive. When asked by Jackie Redmond if Lynch […]

For the first third of the 2023 calendar year, there wasn’t a hotter feud in the WWE Universe than Seth Rollins versus Logan Paul – which, considering the strength of the feuds over the period of time for Sami Zayn, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes is freakin’ saying something. Despite being a certified company man […]

Malakai Black has filled basically every possible role one could have in professional wrestling. He’s been a main eventer, he’s been a heater, he’s been a tag team and even trios specialist, and during his brief time on the WWE main roster, he experienced what it was like to be stuck in the mid-card having […]

After coming up short in every single match he’s wrestled on WWE television in 2023, The Miz finally landed in the winner’s column on Monday Night RAW when he secured a pinfall victory over Tommaso Ciampa with a little help from Bronson Reed, who was technically allowed to help out in the no-disqualifications match. Stopping […]

After main eventing his debut match on the main roster at Madison Square Garden on SmackDown, Grayson Waller was feeling himself. Sure, in the immediate aftermath of the match, morale wasn’t too high for the “Sydney Stunner,” but as the days have passed and his accomplishments have come into focus, Waller’s in great spirits, announcing […]
