 It just doesn't feel like there's much juice there right now, and that's really a shame as we approach what should be their biggest show of the year, NXT Stand & Deliver on WrestleMania weekend  And yet, it feels like they're spinning their tires each week with matches of no importance and certain stars missing[...]

 While it looked like he was done for after WrestleMania XIV in 1998 due to a terrible back injury and his personal issues, HBK made an unprecedented return to the ring full-time in 2002 and had a second run in WWE that was arguably better than his first  Officially retiring after a classic match with The Undertaker[...]

 Tomorrow marks the official start of "The Road to 'WrestleMania,'" and it all begins with the men's & women's 30-person over-the-top-rope Battle Royal  But before we get there, we have one more episode of SmackDown to get through, and even though the WWE Superstars are almost certainly more focused on tomorrow night, several of them[...]

 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 to draw a lot of attention  But having been around for so long and having faced[...]

Getting some serious spotlight at both this year's WrestleMania and SummerSlam, Paul worked with WWE veteran The Miz in both cases and surprisingly impressed viewers working as both a heel and a babyface While it was assumed Paul knew how to entertain on some level, what has surprised everyone is how competent and genuinely athletic an in-ring[...]

Vince McMahon has only been gone for WWE for less than a week, and the company has just announced that WrestleMania in 2024 will take place in the home of ECW, Philadelphia! My god!

WWE held their first post-WrestleMania Premium Live Event of the year last night with the on-the-nose titled WrestleMania Backlash and all in all, it wasn't a bad show  There were some solid matches, some interesting developments, and (despite a number of WrestleMania rematches) it didn't feel like a complete retread  So where do we go from here?[...]

We have all been waiting for the usual post-WrestleMania roster cleansing that usually happens every April and it looks like WWE waited until the very end of the month to do so  We are learning that WWE has released ten different NXT brand superstars today, including Dexter Lumis (Samuel Shaw), Harland (Parker Boudreaux), Malcolm Bivens, Dakota Kai, Persia Pirotta (Stephanie[...]

The focus of The Bloodline over the past couple of post-WrestleMania weeks has been for the SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos to follow their cousin Roman Reigns' example and unify the Raw and SmackDown Tag titles  The problem with that is Randy Orton and Riddle aren't too keen on just handing over their Raw Tag titles[...]

Last week's post-WrestleMania episode of SmackDown on FOX saw some new faces from NXT 2.0 join the roster, while we were also reintroduced to some soon-to-be returning stars such as Lacey Evans  As for the everyday Friday night stars though, it was kind of the same old, same old  Now maybe it was just the come-down from WrestleMania and[...]

Let the WrestleMania fallout on SmackDown begin!  We have a lot of questions after this past weekend's mega event in Dallas and those weren't quite answered on Monday's Raw when newly crowned Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns didn't offer any of his plans going forward and instead punted the question to Friday's SmackDown[...]

WWE and NXT have announced that MSK has relinquished the NXT Tag Team titles, with new champs set to be crowned this Tuesday.

As we saw at this past Sunday's WrestleMania, Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in the main event to gain both titles and become WWE's unified Champion  On Monday's Raw, Reigns had the WWE Universe waiting to hear his plans going forward, but instead ducked the issue and said we would have to wait for SmackDown[...]

 The crowd is again laying into this and chanting "Boring!"  I guess the usually raucous WrestleMania crowd has migrated from Dallas, Texas to Orlando, Florida in just 24 hours, with enough energy to dump on a show  That's an impressive turnaround! We now go to a backstage interview with the new NXT Tag Team Champions MSK, who is[...]

WWE has billed this year's WrestleMania as the most stupendous two-night WrestleMania in history, but without the help of the most popular wrestler in the history of the business returning for one more unbelievable match, the first night of the show might have gone down as a longer and only slightly more eventful episode of[...]
