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...

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 ...

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 ...

Is John Cena winning WWE Royal Rumble 2025?

John Cena made his highly-anticipated return to WWE programming on Monday, Jan. 6 in the company's debut episode of the flagship show Raw on Netflix, ushering in a new era in the streaming age. From Cena's perspective, the biggest part of his nostalgia, he-very-much-still-has-it promo was the announcement that not only will he compete at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 later this month in Indianapolis, but that he will WIN the Royal Rumble match. Cena has won the Rumble twice in his career, including in 2008 with one of the greatest returns in pro wrestling history. Whether it was truly a "surprise" return is still up for debate, but the pop he received was beyond thunderous. After a decade of being the hated top babyface, Cena is now even more beloved than he was in the 2000s, with fans in...
