Throughout his career, Cena has competed against the very best superstars and in a recent tweet, WWE legend Lance Storm revealed the weakness of ‘The Leader of The Cenation’. In case you didn’t know… Throughout his entire career, John Cena has won numerous titles and championships and till date remains as WWE’s most loyal star. Cena, who made his WWE debut back in 2002, is a 16-time World Champion and has also won the US Title, Tag Team Titles, and numerous Slammy Awards as well....

A huge name made his WWE television return this week to set up what could potentially be his final match. Stone Cold Steve Austin also revealed the name of a current star he’d like to wrestle with if he ever returns to in-ring competition. Elsewhere, former WWE star Keith Lee tied the knot with his long-time partner. We also have details of Brock Lesnar setting two new records at the Royal Rumble....

The first time McMahon’s behaviour became a source of headaches was this summer when the WWE board looked into payments amounting to over $12 million made by the former CEO to cover sexual harassment complaints, all of which naturally affected the company. McMahon led the WWE for 40 years, even long before its WWF days, but retired shortly after these controversies, leaving leadership duties to his daughter, Stephanie McMahon, and Nick Khan as joint CEOs....

Special thanks to Riju Dasgupta for giving me the opportunity to take the reigns this week. I hope I don’t embarrass him. I probably already did. #5 Jordan Myles advanced in the NXT Breakout Tournament I am really, really digging this Breakout Tournament. Like, a lot. This week’s match pitted Jordan Myles, an Austin, TX resident like myself, against Angel Garza, who is such a classic, old school heel, and I love it....

Whilst last week lifted the NXT brand to new heights, this week continued a number of other storylines as the company now builds towards Takeover: War Games in November, but now that NXT is streamed live, many botches can no longer be re-recorded. NXT has been pre-recorded since 2012 and has been presented on the WWE Network 2014 onwards. This means that botches have been ironed out in post-production but now that the show is live there is no room for error....

The main event was an extraordinary affair, of course, but so was the undercard. Everything felt like it had a meaning and a purpose and it is clear how every minute of the show was scripted for some major long term payoff. Here are 5 things that I found notable from this week’s episode. Let me also mention that the commentary desk comprising of Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness and Percy Watson was on their A-Game for the duration of the show....

Velveteen Dream also addressed the situation regarding his NXT North American Championship. The Vainglorious One has a lot of superstars looking to steal his spotlight, but one man has stood out among the rest, Roderick Strong. And with Adam Cole’s prophecy seemingly coming true, it looks like the Messiah of the Backbreaker could be the one to dethrone Dream. We kicked off this week’s episode with the continuation of the NXT Breakout Tournament....

The fans will be eager to see how the Superstars will react after returning from WWE’s big money show in Saudi Arabia. WWE put on a decent show in Saudi Arabia last Friday, and the fallout will see the company promote their next PPV, Stomping Grounds, which will take place in two weeks at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. WWE has already announced multiple matches for the event, and we will see the build-up towards those bouts starting from this week’s Raw....

However, there’s no denying that the Rumble as a whole was a stellar event. It’s probably for one simple reason - All the right people won. Asuka established herself as the Queen of SmackDown Live by defeating former champion, Becky Lynch. Becky Lynch herself ended the night on a great note, entering the Royal Rumble match and going on to win it. Seth Rollins would pick up a Rumble win for the red brand and it comes as no surprise as he was the odds on favourite....

Rusev appeared on The Jerry Lawler Show recently and was asked by The King how long he had to be inside that cake before eventually popping out. Staying in character even while answering these simple questions, Rusev revealed that he was in there for about 30 minutes before he jumped out. He went on to reveal that he would have not fit in if he had not lost weight. The former United States champion also claimed that the one who made the cake was a Rusev Day fan and that is how he managed to sneak in....

In case you didn’t know… At WrestleMania 35, Sasha Banks and Bayley lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships to The IIconics (Peyton Royce and Billie Kay) in a fatal four-way tag team match also involving the teams of Nia Jax & Tamina and Natalya & Beth Phoenix. The following day, Banks reportedly went on a hiatus with WWE, as she canceled an appearance on a talk show at the very last minute....

And with Seth Rollins now sitting atop that mountain for the third time in his WWE career, what does that mean for the Slayer’s future? Beyond that, would he eventually become complacent like so many other stars have been once they finally grabbed that elusive brass ring? Interestingly enough, Seth Rollins sat down with Kentucky.com to talk about why fans are so drawn to him and what he thought about ever becoming complacent....

The show’s viewership dropped to one of their lowest numbers of the year but was a far cry from the lowest rated episode of 2018. In case you didn’t know… The Miz and Daniel Bryan were named co-captains of the SmackDown Men’s Survivor Series team at the start of the show and the two eventually booked Jeff Hardy vs. Samoa Joe for the right to join Team SmackDown. Other key moments of the show were Rey Mysterio vs....

Roman Reigns is still looking to avenge his loss to King Corbin at TLC after interference from The Revival and Dolph Ziggler. The King of the Ring winner needed a lot of help to pick up the win, but that did not stop him from celebrating it. Reigns attacked Corbin just before his triple-threat match last week against The Miz and Daniel Bryan. It cost him an opportunity to face The Fiend for the WWE Universal Title, and now it looks like WWE are dragging this feud until Royal Rumble....

In case you didn’t know… It has been very common in recent years that the winner of the WWE Royal Rumble match points at the WrestleMania sign after they win, to apparently remind us that it is where they are heading because of their big win. Lately, its more than the Royal Rumble winners that are pointing at the sign, as seen a lot during Ronda Rousey’s debut, as well as every time someone announces their WrestleMania match, whether it be a title match, regular match, or entry into a Battle Royal, they always point at the sign....

Well, WWE Games have now announced that The Fiend will be a playable character in WWE 2K20 as Bray Wyatt headlines the new pre-order bonus named WWE 2K20 Originals: Bump in the Night. What does the Bump in the Night pack include? The 2K20 DLC features horror-themed Superstars, arenas, movies, weapons and new story modes! Now, the think that hooked me in was the playable characters. The Fiend is obviously the standout name, but the Demon King Finn Balor and The Swampfather join him, as do FrankenStrowman, “Unleashed Apex Predator” Randy Orton, “Fed-Up” Sheamus, and mystery versions of WWE Superstars (aside from “Survivor” Mandy Rose and “Twisted” Nikki Cross) with two new arenas being announced in the Wyatt Swamp Arena and the Cemetery Brawl Arena....

It has also been confirmed that Chad Gable will face Baron Corbin in a rematch from the 2019 King of the Ring final, while Sasha Banks (w/Bayley) will go one-on-one with Nikki Cross (w/Alexa Bliss). What about Seth Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt? WWE’s announcement about the Fatal 5-Way refers to the September 30 episode of Raw as the show’s “season premiere”, which is presumably why a major title match has been booked in advance....

With the touring schedule of a wrestler for a major promotion being what it is, it’s a rare occasion when wrestlers find themselves in the same city. That’s exactly what happened last night, as WWE RAW was in the home of Global Force Wrestling, Nashville, TN. And during the festivities, a former WWE champion and luchador was spotted without his mask. In case you didn’t know… Rey Mysterio, who is currently under contract with Lucha Underground (and waiting for word on a fourth season of the show), hasn’t been seen on wrestling programming with his face uncovered for almost two decades....

The nixed match was a 6-man tag team match between Braun Strowman, AJ Styles, and Seth Rollins against Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Drew McIntyre. In case you didn’t know… Tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw saw Vince McMahon introducing the Wild Card rule, which states that “a limited number of Superstars from Raw or SmackDown” will be invited to “cross brand lines for one-night-only appearances”, according to WWE’s official website....

Wrestlinginc.com confirms that former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has been added to the match card of the Japan tour. The updated card is below : July 1st: *Kevin Owens vs Chris Jericho vs Seth Rollins vs WWE World Champion Roman Reigns *The Usos vs Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows vs The Vaudevillains vs WWE Tag team Champions The New Day *Natalya vs WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte *Becky Lynch vs NXT Women’s Champion Asuka...
