After months of anticipation and verbal feuds on and off of official WWE platforms, Seth Rollins and Logan Paul finally got to mix it up in the ring at WrestleMania 39 for more than a few seconds in the Royal Rumble, or at the end of an Elimination Chamber match at its namesake Premium Live […]

As farewell wishes flood in from all corners of the professional wrestling world upon the news that The Iron Sheik had passed away, fans waited with bated breath to see how his former promotion would eulogize the man who took the WWF Championship off of Bob Backlund and eventually lost the strap to Hulk Hogan […]

One day removed from the news that The Iron Sheik, aka Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri, had passed away at the age of 80 – or 81, depending on who you ask – his biggest, grandest, and most long-lasting rival in the professional wrestling ring, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, took to Instagram to eulogize […]

Though the duo are best known for their time on the hardwood, Paul “Triple H” Levesque hopes that one day, fans will remember the Cavinder Twins, Haley and Hana, with the words “WWE Superstars” in front of their moniker. Officially making their NXT debut at the end of the battle royal to decide on the […]

Though Seth Rollins has only been the WWE World Heavyweight Champion since the last Saturday in May, he somehow has the exact same number of successful title defenses as WWE’s other top champion, Roman Reigns, since March, and has just one fewer world championship wins than “The Tribal Chief” this year despite his strap being […]

Zoey Stark has made a huge impact on the main roster after being called up during the WWE Draft. Since being drafted to Monday Night Raw, Stark has aligned herself with Trish Stratus and will compete in the women’s Money in the Bank match in July—not too shabby for only being on the roster for […]

Though Zelina Vega didn’t leave Puerto Rico as the SmackDown Women’s Champion at the end of Backlash, she accomplished the next best thing: becoming a certified legend on her familial home island. Taking the ring against Rhea Ripley wearing a Puerto Rican flag dropped across her wingspan, Vega received an incredible reaction from the crowd […]

In professional wrestling, like in all other sports, most fans don’t know the name of a referee unless they do something very good or something very bad – just ask former WWE stalwart Earl Hebner. Fortunately, one of the few referees who achieved name recognition for the right reasons is none other than Mike Chioda, […]

During their heyday, there wasn’t a faction in WWE, especially in NXT, that was putting on more five-star matches than The Undisputed Era, the union of Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Bobby Fish, who came together in developmental in 2017 and worked together more or less continuously until the spring of 2021, when […]

When Roman Reigns returned to WWE in August of 2020, he wasn’t the same old “Big Dog” fans had come to know and despise, instead opting to become a leaner, meaner, more aggressive “Tribal Chief” with none other than Paul Heyman walking by his side. Together, the pairing formed one of the most dominant factions […]

After besting three opponents in the co-main event of Double or Nothing and then lamenting the fact that he’s running out of viable challengers in AEW, MJF marched down to the ring on Dynamite to discuss his summer plans before WWE can enter into “The Bidding War of 2024,” but unfortunately wasn’t able to get […]

Claudio Castagnoli – then known as Cesaro – was a very friendly man during his run in WWE. A member of not one, not two, but three factions, working alongside Sheamus in the Bar, with Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger in the Real Americans – a funny faction for a man from Switzerland – and […]

When Santos Escobar signed with WWE in 2019, it wasn’t met with incredible fanfare from the general RAW and SmackDown-viewing masses. Sure, Escobar, then known as El Hijo de Fantasma, was a known commodity on the indies, working great matches for Lucha Libre AAA, Lucha Underground, and Impact Wrestling, among others, but he wasn’t a […]

LA Knight took the hard road to WWE stardom. Initially signing with the promotion in 2013 after a decade on the indies working for promotions like NWA and Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, Knight was let go in 2014 and had to rebuild his value in TNA, Impact, NWA, and beyond under the Eli Drake moniker. […]

Though Kurt Angle hasn’t wrestled a match since all the way back in 2019, when he was famously pinned by Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35 – a fact the former King brought up during his return to NXT on Tuesday – every few months, someone either asks the “Olympic Hero” about the prospects of coming […]

As Money in the Bank 2023 rapidly approaches, the WWE Univers has begun to evaluate which performers have a chance to hit it big and who will fall down the ladder both physically and metaphorically. In 2022, Liv Morgan was lucky enough to score the briefcase in Las Vegas and parlayed the contract inside into […]

Before Paul “Triple H” Levesque had Nikki Cross throw the 24/7 Championship in the trash on an episode of RAW, effectively leaving the title where most folks felt the belt had been booked into, there was the Hardcore Title, a belt so extreme that it had to be defended 24/7 even in the airport if […]

Sami Zayn is one of the biggest names in WWE today, mainly due to his involvement in The Bloodline storyline. Zayn has been a huge fan favorite and an excellent heel during his run in WWE, but nothing comes close to his work with The Bloodline. The Bloodline storyline is arguably the best story WWE […]

There is little to no doubt that Roman Reigns is the most popular wrestler in the world today. There is no professional wrestler who has more eyes on him than Roman Reigns. Reigns has been the Universal Champion for 1000+ days and the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion for well over a year. We are seeing […]

Rhea Ripley is hands down one of the best superstars on the WWE roster, male or female. She is one of the company’s most intimidating and dominant superstars and has proven she can stand toe-to-toe with just about anybody. The 26-year-old has accomplished a lot during her short WWE career. She is the current SmackDown […]

From his work in the ring to his hilarious interactions on Twitter, The Iron Sheik was one of the most recognizable figures in WWE and wrestling history. Unfortunately, The Iron Sheik has passed away at the age of 81. His death was confirmed via an emotional message posted on his renowned Twitter account. The message […]

When WWE announced that Shawn Michaels had booked a battle royal to decide on the first challenger for Tiffany Stratton’s NXT Women’s Championship and that ex-24/7 Champion Dana Brooke was joining performers like Thea Hail, Roxanne Perez, and Cora Jade, fans debated who was going to become the new title contender. Fortunately, HBK didn’t take […]

It has been two weeks since Seth Rollins emerged victorious as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Since then, we have already witnessed him defending his hard-earned title against Damien Priest on Raw. In what was a thrilling match — probably the best match on Raw this year — Rollins and Priest took each other […]

After watching Baron Corbin run the show in the opening segment of NXT to explain his decision to pull WWE double duty on SmackDown and NXT, Mustafa Ali was afforded a chance to discuss his own developmental return with McKenzie Mitchell, and needless to say, it was much less aggressive. “I mean, I’m free agent […]

When Baron Corbin emerged from the back to throwdown Carmelo Hayes and hold up his NXT World Championship, it left fans wondering what the heck was going on in Orlando. Now granted, WWE did make it abundantly clear what was going on during the 2023 WWE Draft, informing fans that free agents like Von Wagner, […]

After watching Baron Corbin and Ilja Dragunov have a proverbial war of words on the microphone in the lead-up to what appears to be an extended stay in developmental for the man who was formerly friends with JBL, Bron Breakker decided to insert himself into the action and beat “Unbesiegbar” to a pulp, leaving him […]

After being drafted onto the main roster following the longest Women’s Tag Team Championship reign in WWE history, regardless of the belt or brand, Kayden Carter and Katana Chance got their first chance at main roster championship gold on RAW, taking on the dynamic duo of Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler for the WWE Women’s […]

When Shinsuke Nakamura secured his spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, he did so at the expense of Bronson Reed, who wound up losing his first-ever match on RAW without much fanfare. So naturally, Reed decided to pay back that milestone by absolutely cutting into Nakamura’s match with Ricochet on RAW and […]

Monday Night RAW was a bit of a mixed bag for Imperium. On one hand, Gunther secured a massive, Premium Live Event-caliber match with Kevin Owens that could have main evented any card on any night in any promotion around the world, but his buddies, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovani Vinci, weren’t so lucky, as they […]

When it comes to professional wrestling, Booker T has an incredibly interesting perspective. A two-time WWE Hall of Famer who also runs his own promotion/professional wrestling school, Reality of Wrestling, and works as a commentator for NXT, there are very few aspects of the industry that Booker hasn’t had his hands in, making his insight […]

Logan Paul has been a member of the WWE Universe since all the way back in 2021, when he served as a guest of Sami Zayn during his conspiracy documentary angle that felt like it happened a decade ago. Since then, he’s wrestled in five matches, going 2-3 in the proceedings, and even earned a […]

The “forbidden door” between WWE and AEW has largely been one way, with just Cody Rhodes, Gigi Dollin, and Blair Davenport taking their talents to Titan Towers versus about a quarter of Tony Khan’s roster having wrestled for Vince McMahon’s promotion at one point or another. Fortunately, with William Regal back in place and the […]

WWE managers don’t often get involved with the action that takes place inside the square circle. However, they do play an important role in storylines by serving as the featured wrestler’s mouthpiece. Furthermore, they sometimes play distraction outside the ring against their client’s opponents. While a manager often assists a wrestler to the ring, there […]

After boldly declaring that he would take on Brock Lesnar at any point, in any city so long as it takes place in a WWE ring, Cody Rhodes looks like he’s been granted his wish and afforded the final chapter of his trilogy with “The Beast Incarnate” at the biggest show of the summer, SummerSlam […]

After securing a major win on RAW in a match against Sonya Deville – and friends – to punch her ticket to Money in the Bank, Becky Lynch was riding high; finally, she had a chance to add that one final feather to her WWE career, launch herself into the championship picture once more, and […]

Ladies and gentlemen, his name is Paul Heyman, and after watching Jimmy Uso attempt to field a Bloodline coup on the first episode of SmackDown post-Night of Champions – on Roman Reigns’ 1000th day as Champion celebration day, no less – he had something to say to the entire WWE Universe on RAW, even if […]

In the history of professional wrestling, few men have encompassed what it means to be a sports entertainer more than The Undertaker. For the better part of 30 years, “The Deadman” was a big-match grappler, a certified fan favorite thanks to his gimmick, and the sort of reliable performer that Vince McMahon could put in […]

Though his current contract status in AEW is unclear, before Ace Steel was #AllElite, fighting with CM Punk on-screen to help him get in the zone ahead of All Out and then fighting alongside “The Best in the World” in an all-out war with The Elite in the locker room, he was a trainer in […]

When Roderick Strong made his jump from NXT to AEW after his WWE contract unceremoniously expired earlier this year, it led to more than a few fans wondering what the future holds for The Undisputed Era, the four-man faction also featuring Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly that ran roughshod through developmental from 2017-21.
