The story itself was simple enough. Jeff Hardy had lost his singles match against The Undertaker the week prior. He challenged The Undertaker for his championship in a match of his choosing and that was a ladder match. This version of The Undertaker was still donning the biker gimmick and far removed from his dead man persona. He went by Big Evil and was using The Last Ride as his finishing manoeuver....

In case you didn’t know… Pete Dunne is considered one of the fastest rising stars from the British wrestling scene. At just 24 years of age, he delivered a Match of the Year Candidate against Tyler Bate at NXT Takeover Chicago and has also defeated current cruiserweight champion Enzo Amore during an episode of Monday Night Raw. Austin Aries, on the other hand, has made his triumphant return to Impact Wrestling and defeated Eli Drake in under one minute, winning the World Championship once again....

Guerrero made his debut for the company in July 2021 as one of Andrade’s associates. However, the relationship didn’t last long, as the former accidentally cost his ally a win over PAC on an episode of AEW Rampage in September 2021. This angle led to the former United States Champion turning on the WWE legend. Speaking on a recent edition of the Wrestling Perspective podcast, Guerrero highlighted that it’s hard to take a step back when performing live....

Dutch Mantell reviewed the latest episode of the blue brand on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Smack Talk and shared his views on the WCW legend’s work. The former WWE manager said that he was never a fan of Goldberg, to begin with. Mantell also admitted that he liked the opening segment of SmackDown until the former WCW Champion’s arrival. Mantell felt that Goldberg became popular because he was presented in a particular manner throughout his career and that the former Universal Champion has a limited skill set....

Ahead of the event, I had the pleasure of chatting with two-time Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley, thanks to WWE. We spoke all about his dream celebrity opponent, who he’d face from NXT, what it’s like working with Braun Strowman, his friendship with Lio Rush, and which WWE Superstars could transition into MMA. Well, the actual event would play host to the only Steel Cage Match of the WWE Live UK tour, and the Universal Championship, WWE United States Championship, WWE RAW Women’s Championship, and WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships would all be up for grabs - with hometown here Nikki Cross getting a shot at the latter with a surprise partner!...

The next installment of RAW is being built around Randy Orton’s future as the WWE Champion. WWE has hinted at several possible outcomes that could unfold on RAW. The Miz is lurking around with his newly-won MITB contract. Randy Orton predictably has a target on his back, and WWE would focus on the angles with Drew McIntyre & The Fiend and try to tie it all together. Given below is WWE’s preview regarding what’s next for Randy Orton:...

Carrying the heavy load of Elimination Chamber buildup on their back, the WWE creative will be putting on their thinking hats once again so as to make sure that they make all the right moves. Last week, they managed to put on an average show with a great main event. However, the show lacked continuity to much of the storylines and many of the questions were not answered. Already stirred up, the fans are sure to make their sounds heard and ruin the segments no matter what if another show is booked similarly....

Mean Gene Okerlund was associated first with the WWF and then later with WCW, right before and later, during the Monday Night Wars. He is considered to be the greatest sports entertainment interviewer in history. In case you didn’t know… It is impossible to be a long time WWE fan and not know of Mean Gene. Okerlund was associated with WWF from 1984 to 1993. He would go on to WCW and stay there till the promotion closed its doors....

In case you didn’t know… It has become a tradition for WWE to have several main roster call-ups from NXT following one of the big four major pay-per-views, especially WrestleMania, where often at least a dozen NXT superstars are called up to RAW and Smackdown.

Rollins’ next opponent could possibly be United States Champion AJ Styles, who challenged The Beastslayer to a Champion vs Champion match for later in the night. The match, which was the main event of RAW, went in the Universal Champion’s favour due to disqualification, after Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows attacked Rollins.

AJ came into the set and immediately announced that he was going to defend his title at No Mercy. Renee Young started the interview off by asking how AJ planned to win the match on Sunday, to which the former TNA and NJPW champion replied that he would adapt to the situation because that’s what winners do and AJ declared that he is a winner. After a few moments of back and forth between Renee and Styles about who AJ thought was the toughest opponent of the two competitors he is set to face on Sunday, AJ answered that he had equal respect for both men before turning the conversation towards Daniel Bryan....

In case you didn’t know… After a successful debut year in the WWE, AJ Styles followed up 2017 in an equally brilliant manner as he held two different championships in the company over two different reigns. The Phenomenal One also got his first WrestleMania win last year, when he defeated Shane McMahon in a gruesome match. Later on in the year, Styles would go on and win the WWE United States Championship for the first time in his career after defeating Kevin Owens at Madison Square Garden....

In case you didn’t know… WWE originally planned for Alexa Bliss to participate alongside Dana Brooke, Naomi, Natalya, Bayley, Carmella, Ember Moon and Mandy Rose in the eight-woman ladder match at Money In The Bank on May 19. However, a WWE statement on Thursday revealed that Bliss has not been medically cleared to compete on the show, so fellow Raw Superstar Nikki Cross will take her place. Cross also replaced the five-time women’s champion in a Fatal 4-Way match on Monday’s episode of Raw, where she defeated Brooke, Naomi and Natalya before helping Bliss climb a ladder in the middle of the ring to pose with the Money In The Bank briefcase....

Who is Isaiah “Swerve” Scott? Scott is best known as Killshot in Lucha Underground and Shane Strickland across the indies. And while he first made waves as Killshot, his work in MLW, Evolve, gave fans a chance to see a more charismatic side of his character. Capturing gold across the globe as “Swerve”, he quickly rose to the top as one of the best talents outside of the WWE. So when he was signed to the company earlier this year, those that had followed him up until then were excited to see what he’d do....

As noted, Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey will square-off for the very first time in a Champion vs Champion match and both ladies took to the social media recently in order to weigh in their thoughts on the dream match being come true.

Cain Velasquez’s debut in professional wrestling In March of 2019, Cain Velasquez signed a multi-match deal with Mexican promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and at Triplemania XXVII.

However, on the recent FOX premiere of SmackDown Live, Velasquez once again shocked the world when he made his debut for WWE, as he was accompanied to the ring by Rey Mysterio and confronted new WWE Champion and former rival, Brock Lesnar and took down The Beast Incarnate once again....

Given his constant juggling of his music career, wrestling and other commitments, it’s a miracle Jericho is able to devote enough time to each. On the most recent episode of his cultish podcast, Talk is Jericho, the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla adressed in fluent Jerichish what was most likely a question on how long his current stretch in the WWE would last: “For all you jack offs that think you can predict what my future is, I’m not going anywhere....

In case you didn’t know: While Jericho is known more for his work in WWE, ECW and WCW, he has also worked a number of other places around the world, including Mexico.

During his time in Mexico, Chris went under a different alias, one being “Leon D’ Oro,” which means Golden Lion....

That shock main event finish aside, it was a show filled with ups and downs. Shinsuke Nakamura made his debut in an underwhelming match against Dolph Ziggler, while AJ Styles and Kevin Owens tore the house down in WWE United States Championship bout before we saw Randy Orton fall to The Maharaja to close out the night. It was a roller coaster ride that pleased and disappointed in equal measure....
