When every other match is in the books at SummerSlam, fans from Booker T to you and me will be afforded a chance to see something they’ve wanted to see since all the way back in 2021, the rubber match between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns, this time held under Tribal Combat rules, in the […]

As crazy as it sounds, it has officially been over a year since the three members of New Day, Xavier Woods, Big E, and Kofi Kingston, were on television together. While all three performers in the faction have continued to find success since, with Kingston and Woods winning the NXT Tag Team Championship belts late […]

Things have been going pretty well for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson since he started beefing with Grayson Waller on Twitter; he captured a ton of goodwill by donating seven figures to SAG-AFTRA, the largest donation to the union in history, landed a “record-breaking payment” for his upcoming movie, Red One, and remains incredibly popular in […]

If you’ve seen a commercial advertising for the new Peacock documentary American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes, you might recall seeing Kevin Owens declare, “Vince McMahon flew to his house to get him back, not many people can say they did that.” Now, for savvy wrestling fans, this conversation was common knowledge, as let’s just say […]

For months and months, Rey Mysterio refused to mix it up in the ring with his son Dominik Mysterio, sticking to his moral code that a father should never hit their child… at least until he didn’t. That’s right, after Mysterio got particularly rude with his mother and sister in the lead-up to WrestleMania 39, […]

LA Knight finds himself in a very interesting spot in the WWE Universe. On one hand, he’s arguably the most over babyface on SmackDown, which, considering Jey Uso also calls the Blue Brand home, is a pretty significant compliment, and while he isn’t pushed like, say, Seth Rollins or Cody Rhodes, he remains one of […]

When Cody Rhodes came up short versus Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, the 80,000-plus fans at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, were at a loss for words. Now sure, some fans were stoked on the continued dominance of the “Tribal Chief,” with more than a few shouting out “We the 1s” as they exited the […]

What do LeBron James and Gable Steveson have in common? Well, besides being Olympic gold medalists, both decided to go on television during a pivotal period in their lives in order to publically announce their “Decision” on what to do next in their careers. For James, the show was broadcast on ESPN, and while there […]

When Cody Rhodes returned to WWE, it was to wrestle Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 38. On paper, the pairing was perfect; Rhodes has desperately wanted to be an old-school Hulk Hogan-style babyface for years now, and he was tasked with standing opposite a man so comically committed to being a villain he would routinely rip […]

Dominik Mysterio has had a very busy week in the WWE Universe. After taking a loss to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a match with his fellow The Judgment Day partner in crime, Damian Priest on RAW, Mysterio became the 15th Superstar to hold the North American Champion under this current lineage and was […]

While Seth Rollins has been a professional wrestling fan for as long as he can remember, getting into the sport at the tender age of 18 and grinding his way to the very tippy top of the industry, for the kid from Davenport, Iowa, there’s another athlete he looked up to as a child that […]

When did Cody Rhodes know he was leaving AEW to return to the WWE Universe? Did he go through the flaming table versus Andrade in Georgia? Or how about when he won the TNT Championship at the 2021 Holiday Bash? When he suited up as Fuego II to wrestle a dark match as Too Fast […]

Matt Riddle finds himself in an interesting place in the WWE Universe at the moment. On one hand, he’s still feuding with Gunther, the leader of an Imperium faction that has consistently gotten his goat over the past few months, but now he has Drew McIntyre by his side, and after a few months away, […]

“Big” Bronson Reed has been on a tear since returning to the WWE Universe, winning five of his last six matches and pretty much plowing through any opponent who gets in his way with his signature maneuver, the Tsunami, a finisher that is incredibly protected for seven months and counting. Though he remains stuck in […]

After foreshadowing a future one-on-one match dating all the way back to the 2023 Royal Rumble, Logan Paul finally accepted Ricochet‘s call for a match at SummerSlam, and the duo will be facing off in Detroit as a result, likely in the opening match of the show because his brother Jake has a boxing bout […]

If there’s one thing you don’t want to do in the WWE Universe, it’s getting on the wrong side of Rhea Ripley. The deFacto leader of The Judgment Day, who has matured the faction from an unsuccessful late-career vehicle for Edge to a faction that can say it runs RAW with a straight face, Ripley […]

After watching from the sidelines as about a third of the RAW roster got injured one way or another by the hands of The Judgment Day, Seth Rollins was finally afforded a chance to sit face-to-face with Finn Balor to make their match at Summer Slam official once and for all a meeting made all […]

After taking an absolute beating at the hands of Brock Lesnar on the previous edition of RAW, Cody Rhodes decided to address the WWE Universe once more, this time knowing that the “Beast Incarnate” won’t be charging the ring to make another meme at his expense. With his match at the biggest show of the […]

After making it abundantly clear that he wanted to address Logan Paul in the middle of the ring in Tampa Bay on the previous edition of RAW and all week since, Ricochet curiously found himself alone during his allotted time in the Amalie Arena, despite calling out the “Maverick” repeatedly to start the segment. “Logan, […]

Though his status in the WWE Universe remains incredibly up in the air, as, despite getting into it with Grayson Waller, there appears to be no tentative plans for a storyline, let alone a match any time soon, that hasn’t stopped Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson from using his expansive resources to give back to entertainers […]

Though Tiffany Stratton has only been the NXT Women’s Champion for 58 days and counting, it feels like the pride of Prior Lake, Minnesota, has been on top of the division for much longer than her abbreviated resume would suggest. Despite having only worked 51 matches as a member of the WWE Universe, 28 of […]

2022 was a year of ups and downs for Wes Lee. A tag team specialist dating all the way back to his time on the indies, Lee and his partner Nash Carter saw their second reign with the NXT Tag Team Championship belts dashed due to the latter being released from the promotion due to […]

Grayson Waller landed a tough break – literally – when he was drafted onto SmackDown with the final pick in the 2023 WWE Draft, as he was recovering from a broken leg via his match with Carmelo Hayes and, thus, couldn’t actually mix it up with his fellow performers in the ring with his fellow […]

In the eyes of many, when it comes to hardcore wrestling, there’s Mick Foley, and then there’s everybody else. A prolific in-ring performer who inspired a style of wrestling that thousands upon thousands have attempted to imitate to this day, albeit without his sense of showmanship and a keen eye for character, Foley might just […]

While NXT is first and foremost a place to develop new professional wrestlers – even if Nick Khan and company have also tasked Shawn Michaels with also getting the ratings up ahead of a future media rights deal – the brand has long served a secondary feature of helping to rehab the careers of talents […]

After returning to WWE following a successful run split between New Japan Pro Wrestling and Impact Wrestling, “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson has wrestled exactly four singles matches, with two of those coming versus members of the Guerillas of Destiny in an NJPW ring, if you can believe it. On the forthcoming edition of SmackDown, the […]

Friday Night SmackDown was very, very, very good to the LWO, as not only did Rey Mysterio beat the field to become the second finalist in the United States Championship invitational, but he also watched as his protégé – Santos Escobar, not Dominik Mysterio – secured a win over United States Champion Austin Theory in […]

After securing a win in an incredibly lopsided match against arguably the most talented female performer on the entire WWE roster, IYO SKY, Charlotte Flair was riding high, even if she lost both of her eyelashes in the match thanks to a sneak attack by Asuka. Discussing the match alongside Cathy Kelley, Flair noted that […]

Though she may be the second-most excited member of her household to go to San Diego Comic-Con, that didn’t stop Chelsea Green from stepping out into the spotlight as an official representative for WWE in order to help promote the brand and its new action figure offerings at the biggest geek event of the summer. […]

While promoting his new documentary American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes at its premier in Atlanta, Georgia, Cody Rhodes made headlines when he told Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture that he felt he was competing with Seth Rollins to become the babyface on the RAW roster. Was Rhodes caught up in the moment? Eh, maybe a […]

When Zoey Stark was drafted onto RAW after an interesting tenure in NXT, fans wondered what the future could hold for the 29-year-old Utah native. On one hand, Stark accomplished a lot in NXT, holding the now-defunct NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship with Io Shirai/IYO SKY for 112 days in 2021, but she never won […]

Everywhere Gunther has gone in professional wrestling, he’s made himself into a featured player; he was a star in wXw, a dominant force in Progress, a star in PWG, and the near-unbeatable force in NXT UK, where he held the belt a month short of 900 days before dropping the strap to Ilja Dragunov to […]

Though Shawn Michaels hasn’t wrestled a match since all the way back in 2018 when he and fellow DX member Paul “Triple H” Levesque took part in an ill-conceived bout against the Brothers of Destruction at Crown Jewel 2018, fans have been wondering if the 58-year-old “Heart Break Kid” would ever consider dusting off his […]

Jim Ross has called more wrestling moves than most fans will ever remember. In his extensive career in the professional wrestling business, which now spans six decades, Ross has watched something as simple as a bodyslam going from a finisher that could headline WrestleMania to a maneuver deployed by any greased-up muscle man – or […]

Seth Rollins is not a WWE performer without enemies. After spending almost a half-decade working heel over various different gimmicks, getting into it with everyone from Rey Mysterio to Cody Rhodes to Matt Riddle during that time frame, Rollins now finds himself no longer in with the bad guys of the WWE Universe either, with […]

After a week of anticipation, fans in the WWE Universe finally got to see Roman Reigns and “Main Event” Jey Uso back in the ring once more to set out the conditions for the third match of their current career, a Tribal Rules match at SummerSlam… but not before the “Tribal Chief” got a little […]

With SmackDown coming to fans from Orlando, Florida, Paul “Triple H” Levesque took it upon himself to give fans a preview of what’s to come in the WWE Universe by having young stars like Carmelo Hayes, Wes Lee, the Cavinder Twins, and Tiffany Stratton wave to the crowd watching at home. For Stratton specifically, making […]

Fans can call “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio a lot of things, a nepo baby, a bad wrestler, Rhea Ripley‘s little you-know-what, but now, when talking about the second-generation WWE Superstar, four words have to be affixed to his name: NXT North American Champion. That’s right, after rapidly establishing himself as one of the top heels in […]

For better or worse, Logan Paul is a heel in the WWE Universe. Though he initially tried to stay neutral and was cheered on like a babyface due to his shocking abilities in the ring despite being the least experienced performer on the main roster, Paul has gone on to embrace being booed by audiences […]
