That's why it is precisely the kind of feud that gives El Presidente hope for the future of professional wrestling Last week on WWE Raw, Rollins accused Gunther of making a backroom deal with Paul Heyman, and the two brawled like two generals fighting over the last helicopter out of a collapsing regime — trust[...]

The professional wrestling industry has long understood that the most effective villains are those who operate with a kernel of truth embedded within their malevolence A heel who lies transparently is merely a nuisance; a heel who articulates uncomfortable realities while wearing a smirk is a genuinely dangerous narrative proposition It is this latter category[...]

In a recent interview, Drew McIntyre opened up about losing the Undisputed WWE Championship, saying he trusts WWE management's choices.
