We have some very surprising news just breaking this afternoon that SmackDown star Toni Storm has been released by WWE  This is pretty shocking as she's only a recent addition to the SmackDown roster and over the past month has been feuding with the top woman's star in all of WWE, Charlotte Flair, over the SmackDown Women's Championship, including a match[...]

Hey gang!  Last week we saw Raw superstar AJ Styles come to NXT to try and teach brash young Grayson Waller some lessons in how to be a proper WWE superstar  The lessons clearly didn't take, as not only did Waller shake off everything Styles told him, but he returned the gesture by appearing at Raw this past[...]

The Chadster may have said that Bischoff was a traitor who didn't know anything about the wrestling business and stabbed Vince McMahon in the back by working for his competition, but The Chadster sees now that Bischoff was just helping to lull Tony Khan into a false sense of security only to return to his[...]

We of course all remember the scary incident from last month when on the November 21 episode of WWE Raw broadcasting live from Brooklyn, NY at the Barclay's Center, WWE superstar Seth Rollins was attacked by a fan live on the air  Luckily, Rollins wasn't badly hurt during the incident and the fan was immediately arrested by[...]

It was a rough weekend for WWE over the past 48 hours and things may be getting worse  The day after Christmas is usually a big one for WWE, as they hold a live event at New York City's Madison Square Garden every year  But last night's show was decidedly less star-studded than what was[...]

Hey gang!  On last week's edition of FOX's WWE SmackDown, Sami Zayn wanted reparations for his Universal title shot kind of being wasted and while another shot at Roman Reigns' title wasn't in the cards, he was given a consolation prize in the form of his participation in a "12 Days of Christmas" 12-Man Gauntlet Match to[...]

WWE Hall of Famer and AEW lead commentator Jim Ross is a legendary and highly respected figure in the wrestling industry for many reasons, but it was his tenure as Head of Talent Relations for the then WWF in the 1990s that solidified his legacy as maybe being the greatest talent scout the industry has ever[...]
