This past July, the unthinkable happened when longtime mastermind and CEO Vince McMahon was forced to step down from his position of leadership at WWE in the wake of mounting sexual misconduct accusations and evidence that he had used company money for numerous hush payments While the idea of Vince stepping aside or "retiring" was once thought[...]

WWE has had quite a week, which my colleague Ray Flook addressed well in an op/ed a few days ago I have literally nothing to add to that, except perhaps to point out that Prince Albert is a tattletale, and that Triple H once had sex with a corpse on live television But Ray's article[...]

The Bloodline continues to ride high as the leading force in WWE, and the same can be said of their leader, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns  We last saw the Tribal Chief at WWE Survivor Series when his team was victorious in the War Games match against The Brawling Brutes, Kevin Owens, and Drew McIntyre, and confirmed[...]

Our line-up for this morning includes Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar (Paramount+'s Wolf Pack) addressing the "extremely toxic male set" during the show's run, The CW's The Flash drops a teaser for Barry's (Grant Gustin) "Final Run," Amazon's The Boys taking on Donald Trump's third-rate Homelander (Antony Starr) knock-off, Netflix's The Sandman[...]

I'm not quite sure what happened with the WWE this week, but in terms of "perception is reality"? Well, this week, the WWE started to look a little like its old self Yeah, that's not a good thing And it's a dramatic change from the waves of love and hope that Paul Levesque (Triple H),[...]

In some shocking news this afternoon, we are learning that Mandy Rose, who just hours ago last night on NXT lost the NXT Women's Championship to Roxanne Perez, has been released by WWE  Rose had held on to the title for 414 days before shockingly losing it to Perez in the main event of last night's show on[...]

 In tonight's main event, Perez defeated Rose clean for the Women's title, becoming the new Champion and ending Rose's historic 414-day reign. Roxanne Perez defeated Mandy Rose to become the new NXT Women's Champion tonight, courtesy of WWE. Roxanne Perez has been a big babyface hit with fans since debuting in NXT in April 2022[...]

Vince McMahon believes he received bad advice when he stepped down as Chairman and CEO of WWE and is plotting a return, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal The paper, which also broke the news earlier this year about internal investigations into hush money payments for sexual misconduct accusations that forced[...]

The New Day are already etched in stone as one of the greatest and most decorated tag teams in WWE history  While they certainly did not need any more hardware to solidify their greatness, that did not stop them from heading down to Orlando, Florida this past Saturday night and defeating Pretty Deadly for the NXT Tag Team[...]

WWE Raw has been a better show since Vince McMahon retired (At least according to everybody but Vince McMahon) It's an indisputable fact But that doesn't mean it's a great show There's still plenty of filler Luckily, we watch it so you don't have to Here are all the important things that happened on Raw[...]

For the fiftieth time this year, WWE Raw is on the air tonight What exciting matchups does WWE have planned for viewers this week? We'll let you know in roughly 300 SEO-optimized words. This week on WWE Raw, there will be two number-one contender matches to determine the next challengers for the show's two top titles[...]

Even when he's not in the title picture, Brock Lesnar is still a major attraction for WWE  So while he may not be (again) facing Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns for the title in the main event of April's WrestleMania in Los Angeles, his match will still be a big part of the card and is sure[...]

As a developmental brand, NXT serves as the minor league (and I don't mean that in a derogatory way) to WWE's major league brands of Raw and SmackDown respectively  As such, if everything is working as it should, young wrestlers fine-tune their craft down in Orlando, and then when they are deemed ready, they get the call-up to the main[...]

It's looking more likely than ever that Sasha Banks is done with WWE and could be headed to AEW, according to the latest dirt sheet rumors Banks and then-tag-team-partner Naomi walked out on WWE earlier this year, as then-reigning Women's Tag Team Champions, in response to the company's perceived lack of respect for the titles[...]

Earlier this week, The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) shocked WWE NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson) when they showed up on the USA Network series with one thing in mind Making sure that Prince and Wilson have those NXT Tag Team titles in their stockings well before[...]

 Now, normally any card featuring the NXT Championship on the line would see that match as the main attraction, but that's not the case tonight, as we will see the debut of a brand new match type for WWE, the Iron Survivor Challenge It had better work, too because we're not getting one but two[...]

The biggest rivalry in WWE at the moment is between two factions on Friday nights: The Bloodline and The Brawling Brutes  Now, with The Bloodline holding most of the titles in WWE right now, you would think this one is totally lopsided  But that's not quite the case, as the Brutes have gotten plenty of shots in[...]

While it's clear that Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has finally fulfilled his potential and has become the unquestionable face of WWE, it's also pretty clear to fans that he isn't quite the breakout pop culture star that WWE was hoping for at least not yet  To find the last one of those, we need[...]

The Chadster is saddened to have to bring some very bad news to members of the WWE Universe Sasha Banks is headed back to wrestling, but it's not for WWE According to a report from PWInsider's Mike Johnson, a man who is definitely on Tony Khan's payroll and helping Tony Khan in his quest to[...]

Since Paul "Triple H" Levesque took over the operations of WWE this past July, the company's developmental brand NXT (the passion project of Triple H himself) has seen a makeover and a reconfiguring back to where they were a couple of years ago  NXT has again started hosting its own primetime weekend premium live events on Peacock, and[...]

A Wild Card Triple Threat match will determine the final[...]

WWE Raw delivered a somewhat lackluster, if inoffensive, episode of WWE Raw last night Little of consequence happened on the show, which centered mostly around a poker tournament This is the time of year when WWE is mostly coasting, as plans are probably mostly set for WrestleMania next year, but WWE can't really move any[...]

WWE Raw is taking place in the nation's capital tonight, which means the show's trademark predetermined outcomes, attention-seeking antics, and questionable decision-making will be all too familiar to the crowd But what else can Washingtonians and viewers at home expect from WWE Raw tonight? We've got your back on that one with our Raw preview, which[...]

Sad news this Monday morning as we are learning that wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Barry Windham suffered a heart attack over the weekend  The incident occurred in an Atlanta airport this past Friday, leading to Windham being rushed to a nearby hospital where the 62-year-old underwent emergency surgery  He is now recovering in[...]

Former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon is, if nothing else, a curious fellow  There were times he seemed to have his finger on the pulse of pop culture and created a great product, but then there are the stories that make it sound as if he had just landed on Earth in a spaceship a week[...]

Who would have guessed that in December of 2022, William Regal would be the most sought-after name in wrestling?  Strange or not, that appears to be the case right now as after the events of this past weekend, and indeed, after what went down last night on AEW Dynamite, word is running rampant that the 20-year-plus[...]

If there's one person in WWE who is uniquely qualified to introduce a brand new match type, it's WWE Hall of Famer "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels  The icon himself performed in the televised debuts for a number of matches in WWE history, including the Ladder Match, the Elimination Chamber, and the Hell In A Cell[...]

In a storyline conclusion that, in kayfabe, holds up to zero scrutiny, unsigned wrestler Dexter Lumis, who was paid by the Miz to engage in staged kidnapping and torture, and who has a history of kidnapping and assaulting other wrestlers, fought and defeated Miz to win a WWE contract on WWE Raw last night. Dexter Lumis[...]
