Though Cody Rhodes hasn’t been a member of the AEW universe in over a year, with his final match in the promotion coming in January of 2022 when he lost the TNT Championship to Sammy Guevara on Dynamite, “The American Nightmare’s” influence on the promotion he helped to start remains to this very day, with […]

After taking care of business on SmackDown in the first-ever Intercontinental Championship challenge of Xavier Woods’ career, Gunther was riding pretty darn high; his Intercontinental Championship had been successfully defended for the 10th time, Imperium came off as imposing as ever, and with the WWE draft rapidly approaching, the faction looked prime to hear their […]

Ever since Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez won the SmackDown Women’s Championship belts off of Becky Lynch and Lita Trish Stratus, they’ve had a target on their backs from the “The Complaint Department,” aka Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green… at least until Friday Night SmackDown, when, one week after taking not-so-friendly fire from a well-placed […]

With the 2023 WWE draft rapidly approaching, fans are wondering which performers will be staying put on the brand fans have come to know and love and which Superstars will be on the move from Mondays or Fridays or the other way around. But who, you may ask, should go first overall? Roman Reigns? Cody […]

If there’s one thing Britt Baker knows a ton about, it’s getting people’s attention. She’s willing to speak her mind in interviews, even if it doesn’t always rub folks the right way, is a confident in-ring performer, even if her matches can be polarizing, and has basically forced herself into the “main character” role on […]

Kurt Angle hasn’t been a “full-time” professional wrestler since 2019, when he worked 11 matches for WWE from January through April before being beaten by Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35. Since then, Angle has remained busy, appearing on WWE programming a few times for one reason or another, working the convention circuit, and even starting […]

While taking part in a social media Q&A for WWE to help promote NXT‘s forthcoming “Premium Televised Event,” The Spring Breakin’, Grayson Waller was asked a pretty simple question by Twitter user Warren Rath, “if you could make your mark by facing one of the greatest in WWE history, past or present, who would it […]

With WrestleMania 39 almost three weeks ago, pretty much everyone has commented on the finish between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Some folks, like Kevin Nash, loved it, others, like Dax Harwood, hated it, and hopefully, the 80,000 fans who attended the show on purpose have come to terms […]

When Sasha Banks decided to leave WWE behind in favor of testing her mettle as a member of the NJPW roster under the Mercedes Moné moniker, it was a polarizing decision among wrestling fans. Why would a performer like Moné, a Four Horsewoman of the “Women’s Revolution,” leave the franchise that made her into a […]

After spending the better part of a week hyping himself and the rest of the WWE Universe up for his Intercontinental Championship match against Gunther, Xavier Woods found himself on the losing side of the bout when the referee hit the 1-2-3 and raised “The Ring General’s” hand after his 10th-straight successful title defense. Asked […]

After securing a win over the Viking Raiders on SmackDown, Ricochet was feeling pretty good as he attempted to chase down his tag team partner, Braun Strowman, backstage. Still, that didn’t stop the high-flying “One And Only” from taking a moment to address the match with Megan Morant for a digital exclusive segment. “You know […]

After watching her faction, the lWo, suffer a loss at the hand of The Judgement Day via a well-placed South of Heaven by Damian Priest on Santos Escobar, Zelina Vega made her way to the back for a conversation with Adam Pearce in pursuit of one thing and one thing only: bringing championship gold back […]

With the 2023 WWE draft rapidly approaching, fans, pundits, and Superstars alike have begun to wonder how the forthcoming two-night event will change the very fabric of The Fed and on which show their favorite performer will be working next, on RAW with Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick or on SmackDown with Michael Cole and […]

Since officially retiring from WWE in 2006, Trish Stratus has been doing anything but hanging out on the beach waiting for her next royalty check. From working for Canada’s Got Talent, to serving as a trainer on WWE Tough Enough, and even working 14 matches for the promotion over the proceeding 17 years, including working […]

John Cena is arguably the GOAT of WWE wrestling. Having tied Ric Flair with the most world championships in the WWE, it’s ultimately possible that Cena surpasses Flair in the near future. Although Cena has stayed away from the squared circle these days, there’s no doubt Cena is carving out a legacy that extends to […]

Another person once in the limelight has become embroiled in the same Mississippi welfare scandal that has revolved around NFL legend Brett Favre. Former professional wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr., son of WWE Hall of Famer “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, is being charged with fraud and theft of funds, via Ken Dilanian of NBC News. […]

When Zelina Vega linked up with Legado Del Fantasma as a replacement for Electra Lopez, it was to do what she does best: shepherd a group of developmental standout heels onto the main roster. On paper, this was a very good use of Vega’s talent, as she’s a savvy operator who can talk, wrestle, and […]

When Chelsea Green decided to shoot a bottle of water into Liv Morgan’s face at the end of her number one contenders match on SmackDown, it instantly granted the indie darling “enemy number one” status with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Morgan and her partner, Raquel Rodriguez, demanded revenge on the thrown-together tag team […]

No matter what Saraya accomplishes in AEW, how many championships she wins, home many careers she ends or makes, and how long she goes in the promotion, she will forever be known to many, if not most, wrestling fans as Paige, the former NXT Champion who beat AJ Lee for the Diva’s Championship in her […]

If you listened to Sami Zayn speak during the month of March, there was one message he continued to reiterate above all others: The Bloodline was going to fall at WrestleMania 39. On paper, his case was pretty strong; if he and his tag team partner, Kevin Owens, were able to take out The Usos […]

Big E hasn’t wrestled a match for WWE since all the way back in March of 2022, when he took a particularly brutal overhead belly-to-belly suplex outside the ring that resulted in a broken neck and an uncertain future for the former WWE Champion. Since then, Big E’s future has been very much up in […]

Logan Paul recently signed a new multiyear deal with WWE. After impressing management and the WWE Universe with a handful of spectacular matches, Paul is looking to stay with the company for the long haul. Paul has had matches with some of the best superstars WWE has to offer. He went up against WWE Hall of […]

Why didn’t “Stone Cold” Steve Austin appear on either night of WrestleMania 39? Did he have other commitments? Was he slinging Broken Skull IPAs in El Segundo like he did on 3:16 days? Or could he simply not make it through the traffic, which was brutal, to make his way into SoFi Stadium in Inglewood? […]

WWE 2K23 DLC Steiner Row Pack, the first of five, has finally arrived. Ushering in the first-time arrival of the Steiner Brothers and the stable Hit Row in a WWE 2K video game, here is all of the information you need to know about the WWE 2K23 DLC Steiner Row Pack, including its release date, […]

Where Goldberg wrestles next is one of the more interesting storylines in professional wrestling right now. Will Vince McMahon see the error of his ways and offer the WCW Legend the retirement match like he reportedly promised him around Elimination Chamber 2022? Or will he instead show up in AEW and provide the sort of […]

With the WWE Draft rapidly approaching, fans have been wondering which Superstars will be working on RAW, which will be working on SmackDown, and if any members of the NXT Universe, from Apollo Crews to Bron Breakker, could see their fortunes altered and their careers fast-tracked with a main roster call up. But what if […]

When Jim Cornette has an opinion on something, he usually isn’t one to shy away from sharing it, even if it ruffles a few feathers among fans of WWE, AEW, or just impact the wrestling world in general. Should CM Punk return to AEW? Cornette has an opinion. Should Bray Wyatt return to WWE? Cornette […]

When did Bianca Belair know she was destined to be a WWE Superstar? Was it when she initially signed on to train for the company? When she was called up to the main roster? When she became a champion for the first time? Or how about when she debuted for NXT, first as Binky Blair, […]

With AEW heading to England for what could be the biggest show in the promotion’s near-half-decade history, speculation has been at an all-time high as to which stars should make the trip across the pond for All In II and who they should wrestle when they step in the ring. Will Kenny Omega take on […]

Though he technically hasn’t wrestled a match since all the way back in 2022, when he lost to Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber, Bill Goldberg technically isn’t retired; he just isn’t a member of the WWE Universe anymore, as his contract expired earlier this year after failing to come to terms on an extension […]

Despite getting expansive entrances on RAW, the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, weren’t scheduled to wrestle a match, with the duo instead afforded an opportunity to spend some time with Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick behind the commentary booth. And yet, that didn’t prevent the dynamic duo of Morgan […]

When Dakota Kai took the ring against Bianca Belair for a non-title match on Monday Night RAW, the bout effectively served two purposes for Damage CTRL. Sure, Kai certainly wanted to pull out of a win, as it would have placed her near the front of the line for a shot at the RAW Women’s […]

After turning his attention away from the United States Championship, taking part in a minor matchup with Brock Lesnar before being “awarded” an ill-fated feud with Bray Wyatt that went so poorly it literally cost him a spot on the WrestleMania 39 card, Bobby Lashley was finally afforded another chance to test his mettle against […]

As things presently stand, Damage CTRL aren’t exactly in the best spot within the WWE Universe. They’ve lost every major match they’ve been in over the past two months, have no championship belts, losing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships to Lita and Becky Lynch before WrestleMania 39, and could very well be broken up […]

When Cody Rhodes marched out to the middle of the ring on RAW with a microphone in his hand, fans knew they were in for a treat, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be; after beginning his remarks with some good old-fashioned Cody-isms, Adam Pearce rained on his fun and informed “The American Nightmare” that […]

After turning on Becky Lynch, Lita, and basically every other member of the WWE Universe who believed in her, Trish Stratus had a lot of explaining to do on RAW, where she was given a segment to basically use as she so pleased. Unsurprisingly – this is Heel Trish, after all – Stratus had a […]

If there’s one member of the WWE Universe who has benefitted the most from Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s newfound leadership atop the company’s creative department, it’s Chad Gable. Sure, the man criminally known as Shorty G wasn’t released due to “budget cuts” or suddenly saved from being a fixture of catering, he was still used […]

With rumors abound about the return of CM Punk to AEW, fans, wrestlers, and pundits alike from all over the professional wrestling sphere have weighed in on how “The Best in the World” should return and who he should wrestle when the opportunity presents itself. Will Punk go toe-to-toe with The Elite, a feud with […]

With the WWE Universe currently in flux due to Vince McMahon’s decision to merge his father’s brand with UFC to form an elite pairing under the Endeavor name, fans have been wondering if Sasha Banks, the performer currently known as Mercedes Moné in New Japan Pro Wrestling, could be headed back to the promotion that […]
