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

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 ...

There’s only one acceptable Cody Rhodes outcome now (and it’s not winning the Royal Rumble)

Now that Cody Rhodes has dropped the WWE Title to Drew McIntyre, so much of the landscape of the company's booking going into WrestleMania 42 has drastically changed. The long rumored rematch between Cody and Roman Reigns has been all but fully scrapped by Triple H and the company, with McIntyre now leading the charge and Cody, despite being the babyface, starting to get "Cody sucks" chants and raucous boos, almost as if to officially seal the transition of taking the "top guy" mantle from the now retired John Cena. Cody did something else official in London on the Friday, January 16 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, announcing his intention to compete at Royal Rumble 2026 in Saudi Arabia - and potentially put himself in rarified air with three career Rumble victories. The thing ...

The entire main event scene has been called up to the main roster, except Ricky Saints, the wannabe Rock who originally called out Oba Femi at the start of NXT New Years Evil and now looks like an idiot now that Femi is going to Raw. Looks like GM Ava Raine has to shake things up through corruptive means. On this week’s episode, four matches have been officially scheduled: Jasper Troy (c) vs. Tavion Heights for the Speed Title, Channing Stacks Lorenzo (c) vs. Shiloh Hill for the TNA International Title, Lola Vice vs. Kelani Jordan in an Exhibition Match, and Joe Hendry vs. Dion Lennox in a No Disqualification Matc...
