It's hard to believe that WWE's WrestleMania 36 is this weekend. So much has happened over the past few weeks that it's frankly easy to forget that the biggest WWE show of the year is this weekend. So needless to say, I was curious to see what we would get from this week's "go-home" edition […]
After a mostly disappointing WWE Monday Night RAW last week, this week's episode took a little from last week's RAW and SmackDown and found ways to improve – a little. RAW opened with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar in an empty ring, within an even emptier performance center. Heyman gave a passionate promo to hype […]
2K Games showed off something new we were kind of waiting for as we got a brief glimpse into the upcoming release of WWE 2K20. All the company released today were two pictures serving as a teaser of things to come. As you can see, we get a look at Bayley and Brock Lesnar on […]

The WWE's "Road to WrestleMania" is crashing into MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, like someone who hasn't slept in three days driving a rental they paid the extra insurance for – so we'd be remiss if we didn't bring you our perspective on John Oliver's bestest buddy Vince McMahon's pride and joy (sorry, […]
With the WWE's Royal Rumble only hours away from kicking off at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, the WWE has officially confirmed that apparently due to fictional injuries beyond his control, John Cena will be storyline-sidelined tonight and will not be competing in the 30-man Royal Rumble match. In his place–and most likely to the chagrin of Mr. McMahon–Braun […]
Ahh, the WWE's Royal Rumble! Every January, there is at least one thing all wrestling fans can agree on: we love us some Rumble. 30 men and 30 women (sometimes 40!) come to the ring in timed intervals one at a time for the ultimate shot at immortality: main eventing the granddaddy of them all, […]
With the WWE's Royal Rumble claw-holding its way to Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, the WWE Universe now knows the names of the voices in their heads when the first bell rings this Sunday, January 27th.

WWE Survivor Series took place last night, its hype seriously downgraded by the absence of WWE's hottest star, Becky Lynch. And most of the show was as lackluster in excitement as expected, but as Lynch's replacement, Charlotte Flair, faced off against Ronda Rousey in the opening minutes of their match, it became clear that we were […]

Last night's WWE Hell in a Cell PPV was packed with crowd-pleasing moments, from Becky Lynch's win over Charlotte Flair to become the new Smackdown Live Women's Champion to Randy Orton sticking a screwdriver through Jeff Hardy's ear. But when it came time for the main event, fans were treated to a non-finish that didn't […]
As Bleeding Cool has documented over and over and again, Roman Reigns's Twitter account is the one place left on the planet where pro wrestling kayfabe is alive and well. While the rest of wrestling fandom grows ever more cynical with their behind-the-scenes knowledge and smarky perspective, Reigns's Twitter followers still appreciate the pro wrestling classics, and […]
Brock Lesnar may be the WWE Universal Champion, but it isn't a wrestling match Lesnar is preparing for next. At last night's UFC 226, Lesnar challenged the winner of the main event between Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic. Cormier was victorious, and Lesnar's next bout could take place as soon at UFC 232 in December. Of course, […]
After spending years building up to Roman Reigns' coronation as WWE Champion in a match that was previously expected to take place at SummerSlam against Brock Lesnar, it seems that fate — and UFC performance enhancing drug policies — have intervened. Lesnar won't be participating in the PPV, at least according to the latest rumor […]
What started off as a promising month for former WWE Champion CM Punk has quickly gone down the tubes. Punk started off the month of June by winning his court battle against WWE doctor Chris Amann, who was suing Punk for comments made Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast in 2014. However, Punk's victory was […]

You've probably heard the rumors by now, but if not, here's a recap: after his abysmal match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34 that saw the crowd chanting "CM Punk," "booooring," and "this is awful," Brock Lesnar went backstage and yelled at Vince McMahon about an unspecified topic, ending in Lesnar throwing the WWE Universal […]
