 NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes will face the NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio in tonight's main event on WWE NXT on the USA Network with only bragging rights at stake  While the North American Championship is a mountain Hayes has already climbed, it would be interesting to see if he could solidify himself as an all-time great in[...]

Welcome to the first WWE show in the post-McMahon-owned era!  What does that change?  Pretty much nothing at the moment, but it's something notable  Another notable thing is that one of the biggest stars in all of WWE today is returning to her old stomping grounds of NXT, and she's looking to get her hands[...]

An intriguing potential rivalry that WWE and NXT have been planting the seeds for over the past couple of weeks has been one between NXT Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton and WWE's most popular Women's Division star, Becky Lynch  While Stratton has her hands plenty full at the moment fighting off challengers down in her brand, it[...]

Friends from across the wrestling business mourned the loss of Jonathan Huber (aka WWE's Luke Harper and Brodie Lee, outside) in 2020 The recent passing of WWE's Bray Wyatt at the age of 36 struck a familiar devastating tone for all the lives he touched as his friends recorded a compilation of memories of Windham[...]

WWE has a pretty decent farm system right now regarding women's wrestling  There are a few names you could pick from the NXT brand and label as not-too-distant future main roster stars already, while some others appear to have the pieces, if not the complete package just yet  We will get a chance to see[...]

It has understandably been a very rough couple of days for WWE and the wrestling world at large  With the loss of an all-time great in Terry Funk on Wednesday and then the sudden loss of one of the world's greatest modern talents, Bray Wyatt on Thursday, you could almost understand if WWE needed to stop and[...]

To say it's been a rough year for wrestling fans in 2023 would be an understatement; it particularly hits hard when someone younger passes like Windham Rotunda, aka WWE's Bray Wyatt, one of the most innovative personalities in the modern era at the age of 36 He took time away from the company to battle[...]

I cannot believe I am writing this right now, but we have learned that WWE superstar Bray Wyatt has suddenly passed away at the unfathomably too-young age of 36  Information is very scant right now as this has just been officially announced  We had heard through various sources that his absence on WWE television over[...]

 Considered by many of his peers to be "the greatest wrestler of all time," Funk leaves behind a legacy in pro wrestling that will never be matched when it comes to his passion, sacrifice, or longevity.

2K Games has released the final DLC pack made for WWE 2K23, as we're afraid there's some bad news in the new Bad News U Pack Kind of a weird one to end on, as we thought they might go for more of a Hall Of Famer pack to end the DLCs, but you're getting[...]

 But by the end of tonight's episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network, we will indeed have that answer, as Wes Lee will be taking on Dijak in a singles match to determine the Number One Contender to face Hayes for the Championship next week.

At the conclusion of last Saturday night's WWE SummerSlam Premium Live Event on Peacock, fans were left stunned (and maybe not in a good "shocking!" kind of way) when Jimmy Uso made his surprise return to screw his brother and longtime tag team partner Jey Uso out of the match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against their[...]

While the saga of The Bloodline has dominated WWE for a couple of years now, another familial storyline has also been pretty good and has had some fun twists and turns along the way  I'm referencing the still-going war between WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio and his son, the North American Champion Dominik Mysterio[...]
