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 […]

While conventional wisdom may have suggested that he’d be back in Orlando preparing for the self-proclaimed “biggest match of his career,” Bron Breakker instead decided to fly out to Cleveland to scout Seth Rollins ahead of their match at NXT Gold Rush. Unfortunately for Breakker, he didn’t get to see a WWE World Heavyweight Championship […]

After two-plus months away, Logan Paul finally made his triumphant return to the WWE Universe near his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, to discuss his future plans in The Fed and his desire to make “Believeland” into “The City of Champions” once more. Sitting atop a ladder in the center of the ring with both Money […]

In WWE, there aren’t many female Superstars who have found the same level of success as Charlotte Flair. A former NXT Champion, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, a former RAW Women’s Champion, a former SmackDown Women’s Champion, and even a former Divas Champion, with 14 total reigns with a World Championship to her credit, even […]

Seven years ago, when Seth Rollins and Finn Balor shared the ring at SummerSlam 2016, it felt like an inflection point in the WWE Universe. At the time, the duo were two of the hottest performers in the promotion, a “homegrown guy” with independent pedigree versus the original founder of Bullet Club to decide on […]

When Rhea Ripley debuted on RAW, challenging Asuka for a shot at her Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 37, fans were very excited to see what the WWE Universe had in store for the performer formerly known as “The Nightmare.” Though Ripley was ultimately successful in her pursuit and had a popular run with the strap […]

When Seth Rollins officially accepted Bron Breakker‘s challenge for a match at what would eventually be called NXT Gold Rush, fans across the WWE Universe turned their heads. Now granted, not because they actually believed that Breakker could win, as any good oddsmaker would place “The Visionary” as a heavy, heavy favorite in the contest, […]

The wrestling industry has been captivated by The Bloodline storyline, making it the centerpiece of WWE television over the past year. Filled with all the elements that wrestling fans crave, this narrative has deepened the character development of every individual involved, offering a recipe for an exceptional story. Among the compelling personas, Jey Uso stands […]

To some fans, nothing would make them happier than to see WWE split up the Street Profits and give Montez Ford a right proper singles run away from Angelo Dawkins. On paper, it makes sense; Ford has all of the makings of a WWE Superstar from his talk to his walk to the way he […]

WWE is not a company that moves fast. Sure, title reigns can come and go with the wind, but the belts in question, and the names used by the promotion to describe them, can stubbornly stick around for a very long time, as the 24/7 Title will tell you. And yet, between WWE’s decision to […]

After taking a loss to IYO SKY on SmackDown in a qualifying match to decide on a participant in the open contract Ladder match, Shotzi will not be wrestling at Money in the Bank, at least not unless she can book a title match with Rhea Ripley or pick up a shift as a referee. […]

By winning the SmackDown number one contender’s tag team gauntlet match, even if they only got one flukey elimination versus the Brawling Brutes, who got four, Pretty Deadly officially secured themselves a match against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship, which will take place at the O2 Arena in […]

After punching his ticket to Money in the Bank with a win over Montez Ford, LA Knight kept his winning ways going with another W over Santos Escobar, the “Emperor of Lucha Libre” and fellow participant in the Ladder match scheduled for the O2 Arena in London, England on July 1st. Asked about his win […]

Growing up in Cameron, North Carolina, Cameron Grimes was seemingly a world away from the glitz and glamour of professional wrestling, where performers spend their lives flying from major metropolitan city to major metropolitan city to perform for legions of fans across the country and even the world. And yet, the kid from Cameron, – […]

When the WWE Draft rolled around, and Paul “Triple H” Levesque let it be known that select NXT starts were going to be eligible for the proceedings, fans tabbed one performer above all others as a natural fit to hear his name called and take his assignment to either RAW or SmackDown: Bron Breakker. On […]

If there’s one complaint some fans have about Gunther‘s run at the top of the SmackDown and now RAW roster – other than, you know, the weird 1940s German stuff that persistently keeps coming up in ideas from creative – it’s that he maybe hasn’t been afforded the best competition as a member of the […]

Logan Paul is one of the most polarizing social media influencers today. In fact, his YouTube channel has already garnered 23.6 million subscribers and 5.9 billion views. Furthermore, his Twitter and Instagram accounts have already earned 6.7 million and 25.7 million followers, respectively. With Paul’s popularity worldwide, have you ever wondered how a controversial internet […]

When Maxxine Dupri transitioned from being the manager of the Maximum Male Models to becoming the third in Alpha Academy, a seductress turned supporter of Otis who now serves as a pupil under “master” Chad Gable, fans assumed that the former LA Rams Cheerleader would tone things down and embrace a more academic, dare-I-say scholarly […]

While Shayna Baszler may be most widely known for her MMA acumen, amassing a 15-11 record in the octagon before transitioning into the ring with increasing regularity from 2015 on, in WWE, “The Queen of Spades” has developed a new niche: Tag Team specialist. Stopping by The Bump to talk all things WWE now that […]

After a week plus or minus two hours of waiting, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman, and Jey Uso all shared the ring in the final segment of SmackDown to finally find out if the “Main Event” member of The Usos was going to remain in The Bloodline – a move that would kick Heyman […]

After challenging any member of Damage CTRL to a match ahead of Money in the Bank, Zelina Vega took care of business against IYO SKY to pick up some crucial momentum heading into the show at the O2 Arena in London on July 1st. Discussing the win with Megan Morant in a special WWE Digital […]

After being looked over, yet again, for a rematch with Asuka for the WWE Women’s Championship – aka the former RAW Women’s Championship – Bianca Belair told Adam Pearce that she was done sitting around waiting for an opportunity to shine and decided to take the matter into her own hands. What did that mean […]

When Mandy Rose was released from her WWE contract back in December of 2022, it looked like another wrestling promotion, be that AEW, Impact, or even an international promotion like Shimmer, was about to land a ready-made star capable of main-eventing television shows, garnering headlines, and ultimately shifting the dynamic of a women’s division one […]

There are a lot of ways to describe Roman Reigns and his current 1,000-plus day reign atop the WWE Universe. He’s the “Tribal Chief,” he’s the “Head of the Table,” he’s a killer in the ring and a performer so ruthless that he’ll even give the thumbs down to his own cousin Jimmy before watching […]

For months, maybe years now, fans of WWE have been hoping, praying that Montez Ford would leave his Street Profits partner Angelo Dawkins behind Marty Jannetty-style to become the promotion’s next great singles star. On paper, it makes sense, right? Dawkins is beyond charismatic, built like a top guy at 6-foot-1, 232 pounds, and after […]

Ricochet is a certified WWE Superstar. Initially signing with the promotion in 2018 after successful stints in PWG, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and Dragon Gate, plus a run in Lucha Underground, where he wrestled under the Prince Puma moniker, Ricochet has wrestled almost 500 matches, formed multiple tag teams, and has even won a few […]
