At Crown Jewel on Nov. 4, Logan Paul grabbed his first piece of silverware in WWE, capturing the United States Championship by defeating legend Rey Mysterio. Paul may have received an assist from Santos Escobar to get the win, but, regardless, his first title victory is a huge deal - and over Mysterio, no less. There are plenty of detractors of Paul because of his issues outside the ring and attitude, and WWE have done a great job of positioning him as a heel, using his natural personality and the (valid) reasons many wrestling fans do not like him. But for all that can be said about Paul, it is true that he is taking professional wrestling extremely seriously and has been an effective heel, which is more than can be said about some other wrestlers WWE have been trying to push with simi...

Among the wrestlers released by WWE on Sept. 21, Shelton Benjamin exits the wrestling promotion after spending 14 years with the company across two stints.

WWE ended an era on Sept. 21, 2023, when they decided to part ways with Dolph Ziggler. For years, Ziggler was booked as a "jobber to the stars", but then his role in the company evolved to being a "gatekeeper" for the main roster, feuding with recent NXT call-ups. Slowly but surely, he began to be completely phased out of WWE programming despite the fact that a wrestler with his skill set had something to offer. There are some who view Ziggler as a "What if?" and even a waste of potential, whereas others view Ziggler as one of Vince McMahon's biggest mistakes, in the sense that he could have been pushed as a believable top babyface in the 2010s if Vince weren't so fixated on irrelevant issues like "size". So let's take a look back at Ziggler's career in WWE and break down how g...

Let's all sip some coffee (or coffee alternative) and get the facts clear for a second, shall we? The Intercontinental Championship didn't exactly have the best championship reigns in the past couple of years. The pandemic definitely didn't help matters any. And yet, somehow, we're here. One night it ended up in the hands of Gunther (In my house, we call him Goontha! It's more Gangsta.) And the rest is history. So, here we are over a year later, Gunther has all of these amazing matches; he's made history with having the longest single reign in WWE history. Sooo, now what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF1xEQEYwE8 WWE is clearly setting the stage for a big championship change. But, the timing is going to be key here. No Mercy?! Hell no! Fastlane? No mane! Crown Jewel?...
