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[...]

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[...]

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[...]
