Is WWE Quietly Setting Up Nikki Bella for a Shock Title Win?

Although many fans thought Lyra Valkyria would get her comeuppance on Becky Lynch at WWE SummerSlam 2025, it was the Irish Lass Kicker who got the last laugh and prevented her compatriot from having another crack at her Intercontinental Championship. It was a fantastic match that was among the highlights of an excellent second night of SummerSlam, but, for Lynch, the celebration was short-lived as she was immediately confronted by Nikki Bella on the Raw on Netflix after the Biggest Party of the Summer. Nikki made her return this summer for another stint in the company, and after only appearing on SummerSlam  as part of a Papa John's commercial, she has her eyes set on a much bigger prize: Becky's Intercontinental Title. The verbal sparring between the two WWE legends ended up bein...

WWE fans will rejoice at TKO admitting defeat on one of their recent changes

Most WWE fans, especially the diehard followers of professional wrestling, have been deeply disappointed by the changes around the company since the TKO takeover. There are gripes about the advertisements plastered all over turnbuckles, the canvas, and anywhere else an ad could possibly be, as well as serious concerns over the show's presentation and the booking of certain wrestlers, including the doomed Jey Uso push. Even long-time wrestling journalists like Dave Meltzer have lamented the troubling direction WWE is going in under the TKO banner. Perhaps no move exemplified how out-of-touch the new suits in charge of the promotion can be than their release of long-tenured veteran and locker room glue guy R-Truth. Fans and co-workers rallied behind Truth, and WWE/TKO were forced to...
Lyra Valkyria drops a big hint that a welcome heel turn is coming

Lyra Valkyria drops a big hint that a welcome heel turn is coming

WWE superstar Lyra Valkyria has been tabbed by fans as a major star for the future ever since shining in NXT as a so-called white meat babyface. Her main strengths were in the ring, as she could tell a great story and put on a top match against anyone in between the ropes. But on the main roster, it became clear to WWE that while Valkyria was great in the ring and could get people to like her at a basic level, she would need something more to her character in order to get fans to actually invest in her and care about her as something more than a garden variety mid-carder. Although Valkyria made history as the first ever Women's Intercontinental Champion, her finest work on the main roster didn't actually begin until she started feuding with Becky Lynch a couple of month ago, and this...

There’s only one way WWE can salvage a Gunther vs. Goldberg feud

On the June 16 episode of WWE Raw in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Gunther's celebrations after defeating Jey Uso on the previous week's Raw were very short-lived, interrupted by Hall of Famer Goldberg. A potential Goldberg vs. Gunther clash had been feared by WWE fans for quite some time, and Triple H and TKO have indeed pulled the trigger on bringing back the controversial old-timer into a feud with a top wrestler they have been disrespecting for months. Gunther's world title triumph over Jey was seen by many fans as a form of justice, as many were upset with how Uso defeated Gunther at the Show of Shows, tapping out one of the most hard-nosed technical wrestlers in the business. And their anger was vindicated by Jey's poor run with the title. A program between Gunther and Goldberg feel...

Finn Balor’s turn on the Judgment Day is brewing, along with a potential new faction

The never-ending friction among the members of the Judgment Day continues, and on the June 16 episode of Monday Night Raw in Green Bay, Wisconsin, it was Finn Balor who provided most of the intrigue in a backstage segment. Finn has been the veteran leader of the Judgment Day ever since the group of mostly up-and-coming superstars turned on founder Edge. He's been the main voice either pulling the group together towards a common goal or causing dissent and mayhem, first against world champion Damian Priest and, more recently, towards Intercontinental Champion and, apparently, aspiring Judgment Day leader Dominik Mysterio. While Balor and Mysterio were, once again, getting into it a little bit backstage after Liv Morgan's outburst towards an injured Raquel Rodriguez prior to Liv's matc...

One of WWE’s most beloved up-and-coming stars is going to get her push

WWE have a ton of up-and-coming talent who they haven't really pulled the trigger on and taken them to the next level. LA Knight might be the best example of someone who is ready to burst into the main event scene and take that leap up the card or hold a championship, but, once again, WWE snubbed him at Money in the Bank and went with a much more established name in Seth Rollins to help solidify his recent heel turn. There are even higher-upside and more universally popular wrestlers than Knight who are still waiting their chance, such as former NXT stud Carmelo Hayes, who hasn't done much besides team up with The Miz, though his Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal victory will, hopefully, be a harbinger of bigger and better things for Melo than it was for his predecessors. But the...

Cody Rhodes rejecting The Rock’s offer at Elimination Chamber was inevitable

We're in some interesting times in wrestling right now. We get a surprise announcement that The Rock was returning and making an appearance as "The Final Boss" on the February 21, 2025 episode of SmackDown. Rumors begin swirling all over social media that a match or two was being cut to make room for whatever big was going to happen. And then we get... this segment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWImFo9vHow I don't think I've seen a segment send so much of the internet wrestling community into... complete confusion as to what the f*ck is going on! I'm going to ignore the first part of that segment because it could've been an email. No shade. We'll focus on the second half for the sake of this article. The Rock wants Cody Rhodes to be his WWE Champion The Rock brings out ...
