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 […]
WWE has invested decades into the idea that they don't have to give the fans what they want, but when those fans are the Saudi royal family and they're offering large sums of money, it's a different story. WWE enraged its fanbase at Hell in a Cell earlier this month with a nonsensical DQ finish […]
Finally, the truth has come out. Following WWE's disastrous Hell in a Cell PPV, in which the referee stopped the match out of concern for the supernatural monster The Fiend after WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins inflicted objectively less violence than seen in many other Hell in a Cell matches, the company kept both Rollins […]
WWE has a listening problem. That's been clear for a long time, through all the Cena years, through the attempts to bury Daniel Bryan, through the multiple botched attempts to push Roman Reigns as the top guy, and with many more examples, more than we could reasonably list in this article, in between. It's led […]
It's Spring, and romance is in the air in WWE, at least for two popular superstars and champions. Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins, it seems, are a couple, at least according to The Man's latest Twitter fued. It all started with a warning from Lynch to former Womens Champion and Divas Champion Beth Phoenix after […]
Welcome to Bleeding Cool's live-blog of WrestleMania 35 – as the WWE's annual professional wrestling tradition comes 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. We're here to offer you our perspective on the good, the bad, […]
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 […]
WWE Superstars will compete tonight at a WWE Live event at the United Center in Chicago. For former Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, however, it's more than just a simple house show. Rollins is feeling nostalgic, and while touring the city where he got his start in Ring of Honor as Tyler Black, Rollins decided to […]
Welcome to the latest edition of BC Toy Spotting! We are in and out of stores pretty much every day, and we figure (ha!) why not show all of our fellow collectors what we are coming across on pegs and shelves. As collectors, we know that staying on top of what is in stores can […]
Ric Flair, pro wrestling legend and father of WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair, used to say, "to be the man, you have to beat the man." After Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair at WWE Evolution in October in a Last Women Standing match to retain the Smackdown Women's Championship, she decided she'd earned that moniker for herself. […]
Roman Reigns has relinquished the WWE Universal Title, revealing that he has leukemia. Apparently he has been living with the disease for 11 years, having been diagnosed when he was only 22 years old. Reigns, real name Joseph Anoaʻi became the WWE Universal Champion after defeating Brock Lesnar at August's SummerSlam PPV. .@WWERomanReigns has to relinquish […]
WWE SummerSlam, a 17-hour annual pro wrestling event, kicked off with Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship. But as the challenger, Rollins, made his way to the ring, a lot of people on social media (and at least one who emailed us) noticed that his outfit looked a little familiar… #SummerSlam opens […]
Mattel's WWE line went retro last year, and collectors have loved every second of it. The initial 12 figures in the line had a healthy mix of old stars (Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Mankind, Sting) and current roster talents (Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Dean Ambrose) done in the style of the […]
After weeks of going back and forth, Seth Rollins and The Miz finally got their own match at the co-branded pay-per-view, Backlash. The Miz lost the Intercontinental Championship to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, and he's had his heart set on it since. He's been in a handful of matches to try to reclaim it (with […]
Wrestlemania has come and gone, and in its wake we have…oh, about 11 hours to process everything from the seven hour show before Raw tonight. The past few years with their long, long, long runtimes have seen noticeable effects on the live crowd and their enthusiasm. This was very evident last night. On paper, you […]
How excited am I that Finn Balor, Seth Rollins (who looked like a White Walker), and The Miz opened WrestleMania 34 tonight?! I'm crazy excited. I couldn't wait to see Balor on the grandest stage of them all. The match opened with some drama, where The Miz got into an argument with The Miztourage and […]
WrestleMania 34 is today! One of the most stacked cards in history, this seven-hour (!) show should have a little bit of everything this year. If things go the way we predict they will, there might be some surprises as well. Without further ado… let's dig in! Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal In the […]

Mattel had their very own floor at the Javits Center this past weekend at Toy Fair New York and with good reason. Sporting some of the biggest toy brands there are, they had quite a bit to show off. Their focus was on the future, that is for sure. New lines from Polly Pocket, Batman, […]
