Jinder Mahal garnered significant attention earlier this year when he challenged for the WWE World Heavyweight Title on RAW. Despite his efforts, he did not secure the championship, and WWE released him in April. Rumors circulated about Brock Lesnar reportedly refusing to work with him.

This unexpected turn altered the planned matchup for WWE Survivor Series, replacing the originally scheduled Brock Lesnar vs. Jinder Mahal bout with a new bout:…

At the end of last week, multiple reports indicated that AEW and Ric Flair were no longer doing business with each other. The Nature Boy basically confirmed it himself during an appearance on Busted Open today (July 15). Flair had lots of positive things to say about AEW, singling out MJF, Will Opsreay, and The Young Bucks for praise. He and Mark Henry were talking about how impressive what Ospreay, Swerve Strickland & Darby Allin can do in the ring when Ric told the story of his last dealings with the company. It came during the planning of Sting’s last…

Hulk Hogan is among the many questioning Adam Copeland’s decision to leap from the top of a cage at AEW’s Double or Nothing, which resulted in a broken leg for Hogan’s former tag team partner. Appearing as a guest on The Outbound Life podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer covered many topics, including the art of professional wrestling. While doing so, Hogan mentioned Copeland, whom he won the WWE Tag Team Titles with in 2002. Referring to Copeland by his stage name in WWE, Hogan couldn’t make sense of The Rated-R Superstar’s mindset in attempting such a dangerous stunt. “I…

Finn Bálor has experienced a remarkable career resurgence since joining Judgment Day in 2022. That includes re-establishing himself as a world title contender, signing a five-year extension with WWE in April, and capturing three tag team titles, with his latest win coming alongside JD McDonagh in June. Ironically, it took a trip to the dark side for Bálor to enter into the light. On the What’s the Story podcast, the man once known as Prince Devitt expressed dissatisfaction with his career’s path before turning rogue and joining the gothic stable. “I haven’t said this publicly ever, but the two months…

WWE is on the road all year, and Vince McMahon used to make every date for the company. Although he has now stepped down from his previous job, he did have quite a rider list of required items when he was traveling with the company. That also required people to make sure that he had everything he needed to do his job. That list of demands is quite extensive, and interesting to see so many years later. Vince’s office checklist for WWE events circa 2007, courtesy of former WWE timekeeper Mark Yeaton, covered various necessities to ensure the smooth running…

Jamie Hayter hasn’t worked a match in over a year due to suffering an injury, last wrestling in May of 2023. According to a report from Fightful Select, Hayter was backstage at a set of AEW Dynamite TV tapings in recent months when the roster was required to show up for their annual physicals. While it was believed internally that there had been some movement toward a potential return, there are still no clear plans in place for Hayter. The injury she suffered was “very serious.” Several AEW sources said that seeing Hayter backstage at the AEW Dynamite TV tapings…

The parent company of TNA, Anthem, recently hired former WWE executive Rob Kligman as its new Chief Revenue Officer. In an interview with Essentially Sports, this man actually argues that the WWE and TNA brands are roughly equal in quality of content and production: “The brands both can speak for themselves and stand for themselves. Right now, the difference really is the distribution mechanism that WWE uses to push their content out versus what TNA does. Right now, we’re focusing on getting that distribution even larger than it is for TNA. But that’s the big differentiation point. The production is…

The first episode of “What Do You Want To Talk About?” has been uploaded to WWE’s YouTube channel, featuring an interview between Cody Rhodes and Bayley. During the interview, the WWE Women’s Champion was asked about the possibility of Evolution 2, something Bayley has gone to bat for in past interviews. Referring back to the conversation about the state of the women’s roster in WWE, Bayley told the Undisputed WWE Champion: Yes. Why not? Like we were just saying, there’s so many women. The thing about the first one was we had so many girls from NXT, which they got…
