Now we know the real reason Austin Theory joined The Vision

Austin Theory was the mystery man who helped The Vision at WWE War Games at Survivor Series, and while he explained his own kayfabe reasoning for joining The Vision faction led by Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker (following the turn against Seth Rollins), we all know the real reason why Theory joined. The Vision recently competed in a tag team match, as big Bronson Reed and Theory teamed up to battle Dragon Lee and Penta in a tag team match on Monday Night Raw. In the end, the heels came up on the losing side of things, and, more specifically, it was Theory who ate the losing pin. And that defeat was a reminder of the vision behind Theory being lumped in there. Austin Theory is the weak link Out of all the members of Heyman's faction, Theory is the weakest in terms of skill in the rin...

WWE have quietly replaced the Big Show in the weirdest way possible

Although the Big Show is one of the biggest and most iconic names in WWE history, in addition to being one of its physically largest athletes, he ended up becoming a meme over the years for how he was booked. A fixture in professional wrestling from the 90s and into the 2020s even, as Show got older and had to become less of a focus due to wear and tear, he ended up transitioning nicely into a comedic relief role that showcased an underappreciated side to him as a performer. All the while, WWE increasingly utilized him as a different sort of plot device and something of an inside joke to fans, as Big Show became most famous for turning on his teammates at the drop of a hat.  Natalya turned heel on Maxxine Dupri You just never knew when he would turn face or heel, and it got to the ...

Gunther is subtly becoming the new Randy Orton

On the January 19th episode of WWE Raw, Gunther goaded his new rival, AJ Styles, into putting his career on the line for a match between the two of them at the Royal Rumble this year. And it is telling that for many wrestling fans, it is a foregone conclusion that Styles will lose this match and retire. WWE and Styles have already made it clear that the Phenomenal One will officially hang up his cleats in 2026 at some point. When that announcement was made by the former TNA legend, it was assumed that, like John Cena last year, Styles would retire towards the end of the year. But, alas, unlike Cena, AJ isn't going to get a retirement tour. AJ Styles is on the verge of retirement So Styles could very well retire in January at the Royal Rumble, bringing his entire career full circle,...

WWE set a huge Finn Balor shakeup in motion

Finn Balor finally got another shot at the world title on Monday Night Raw in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and while he, as expected, came up empty handed, the show of respect he had with current champion CM Punk was a sight to behold. The match itself was a typical Balor affair: solid, if not unspectacular, with plenty of hard work in the ring but little fanfare. In a way, it sums up Balor's WWE career. He has been a perfectly solid cog in the wheel but never a true standout performer. Despite being a heel for years as a key part of the Judgment Day, becoming something of a leader of it as the main veteran presence following the turn against Edge, Balor came out of the match with Punk looking like a babyface. Finn Balor is now a babyface Sure, it's a bit of a cop out way to turn som...

The dream feud for heel Cody Rhodes is obvious to everyone

Cody Rhodes has not turned heel on WWE television yet, and while there is no clear indication that WWE will actually go ahead and pull the trigger on a turn, this is a move that fans have been anxiously waiting them to make for about a year. In fact, WWE sort of teased a double turn at the Royal Rumble last year when Cody and Kevin Owens fought for the world title, brutalizing each other in a match in which KO got the worst of it and Cody seemed at his most menacing. And then they could have even tried a double turn later at SummerSlam in the feud with John Cena with the crowd fully moving behind a now babyface Cena and edging a bit against Cody. Cody Rhodes has taken John Cena's torch But the real change in the winds has occurred now in 2026. Cody Rhodes just dropped the WWE Title...

WWE snubbed Edge for Cody Rhodes when everyone knows the truth

It's Royal Rumble season, as the most exciting Pay Per View of the WWE calendar is officially less than two weeks away. And before every Rumble, the second most exciting thing - after speculating about who will win it or return this year - is looking back at past Rumble moments over the years. As many WWE fans speculate that AEW star Chris Jericho will make his return to Triple H World on January 31 in Saudi Arabia, the WWE itself ranked its 10 greatest ever Royal Rumble returns. Funnily enough, Jericho is already on the list in No. 10 for his 2013 return. And as is customary, John Cena pretty much wrapped up the No. 1 spot for his 2008 return from a torn triceps that was perfectly kept under wraps. John Cena's moment wasn't bigger either But as iconic as Cena's return was back the...

There is only one answer for the WWE 2K26 cover star

Every year before the WWE 2K video game comes out, wrestling fans love to speculate about who will be the cover star, as it is the equivalent of the prestigious honor of being on the Madden cover, minus any sort of a curse associated with it. Wrestlers like John Cena, Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, AJ Styles, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Stone Cold Steve Austin have graced the cover over the years, just to name a few. But when it comes to the WWE 2K26 cover this year, there are a number of options fans are mulling over, and everyone likes to debate their favorites. Could Cody do it again? How about Jey Uso after how over he got in 2025? To be honest, though, the clear answer for the cover star is a repeat winner, albeit someone who has not made it on the cover long enough for it to actua...

Liv Morgan isn’t the only prime candidate to win the Women’s Royal Rumble

The 2026 WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event is just weeks away on January 31, and although it does overall feel like there is an open field of contenders to win the Rumble matches, there are always a few options that stand out better than the others. For the Women's Royal Rumble match, Liv Morgan is widely tabbed as one of the favorites to win the bout. She has been a star in Rumble matches over the years with her endurance and creativity, and she has more than fulfilled the potential she showed in her early years of NXT and with the Riott Squad. Morgan is now one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling with her ability to sell any story or any move in the ring, and she has really gotten over as a conniving heel that people respect and love to hate. There is no doubt that ...

Drew McIntyre’s next WWE Title opponent just became 100 percent obvious

Just a week ago, Drew McIntyre outlasted long time rival Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell match to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship and become the new "face" of Friday nights. McIntyre's win was months in the making, and while the "Cody sucks" chants are more of a term of endearment for the man now carrying the torch passed on to him by John Cena, there was a sense that fans had grown tired of Cody holding the championship - and being a babyface. The McIntyre victory has completely changed the trajectory of WWE plans going into WrestleMania 42, as Cody vs. Roman Reigns is no longer the plan for the Show of Shows and everything feels a bit more exciting and unpredictable now heading into the Royal Rumble on January 31. Sooner than that, though, McIntyre's next opponent ...
