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 ...

LA Knight is expected to return after the heinous parking lot attack by the Vision, and the Vision will not be happy with Adam Pearce's decision to suspend Bron Breakker when hews the one who put his hands on Breakker first in what was a heated exchange last week. This week on Raw, two matches have been officially scheduled: CM Punk (c) vs. Finn Balor for the WWE Title and Becky Lynch (c) vs. Maxxine Dupri for the IC Title. Both title matches are showcasing Irish talent in Balor and Lynch. If any women’s matches are announced, they will likely revolve around the women’s...

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

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 ...

WWE NXT Predictions: The Rock Will Replace Ricky Saints – Jan 13, 2026

WWE NXT is scheduled to take place on January 13, 2026, live on CW Network, at the WWE Performance Center, and Ava Raine will hand the NXT Title to The Rock in the main event. 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...

WWE Raw: Austin Theory Could Be A Spy For Seth Rollins

It is time to conjure up a conspiracy theory for Austin Theory. This wrestler went from getting the biggest win of his career against John Cena for the United States Title at WrestleMania 39 to winning the tag team titles with Grayson Waller at WrestleMania 40 all the way to doing absolutely nothing at WrestleMania 41. Austin Theory Shook Things Up In The Vision As The Masked Man For someone who was over-pushed as Vince McMahon's number one guy, he has gradually slid into obscurity. This was especially noticeable after he failed a Money In The Bank Cash-In on a mid card title and got buried by Jey Uso in a match that lasted less than ten seconds. Ever since then, Theory disappeared from television. He essentially left his tag partner, Grayson Waller, high and dry in the New Day as "Bi...

WWE Raw: Je’Von Evans Might Be Screwed On The Main Roster

Je'Von Evans is scheduled to debut on the main roster after what was an underwhelming and unceremonious introduction in the commercial break of the Raw Netflix Anniversary last week. Due to this introduction and premature call up from NXT, he might inevitably be screwed on the main roster. Here's why that is the case. Je'Von Evans Should Be The Next Bryan Danielson Evans has a lot of similarities to Bryan Danielson. He is a babyface underdog who fans resonate with and want to root for in all of his matches. Every time he is so close to winning the big one, the fans are on the edge of their seats. However, when he fails, their hearts drop in despair as their high spirits dwindle drastically. Evans has been involved in situations like what was just vividly described countless times duri...
