  • Liv Morgan breaks character, says rival future WWE Hall of Famer

    Liv Morgan set aside her in-ring rivalry to acknowledge Becky Lynch‘s lasting influence on women’s wrestling. During an interview with Inside the Ropes, Morgan expressed her belief that Lynch deserves a place in the WWE Hall of Fame, regardless of whether she returns to the ring.

    “If Becky never comes back, I definitely think she is 100% a Hall of Famer,” Morgan said. “She has become a martyr for women’s wrestling and performance all around. She can do it all. She can deliver in the ring, she can deliver on the microphone. The crowd is compelled by her when she’s out there.”

    Morgan highlighted Lynch’s dedication to elevating women’s wrestling to the same level as men’s competition. She particularly noted Lynch’s ability to achieve this while balancing her role as a new mother.

    “Her goal, I think, was to really evolve it and maximize women’s wrestling and really make women’s wrestling feel just as special and important as the men’s wrestling, and she did it all while being a fantastic brand-new mummy,” Morgan explained.

    Despite her heartfelt praise, Morgan couldn’t resist adding a playful reminder of their competitive history, joking that Lynch is “still not as great as me.”

  • WWE planning new title launch as RAW debuts on Netflix

    WWE is set to expand its women’s division with the introduction of a Women’s Intercontinental Championship on Monday Night Raw. The new title is planned to coincide with Raw’s move to Netflix, according to PWInsiderElite.com.

    The championship won’t debut until after the Women’s United States Championship tournament concludes and establishes its presence on SmackDown. The US title tournament, which marks a historic addition to WWE’s main roster, will crown its inaugural champion at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14.

    This development follows WWE’s recent pattern of creating secondary championships for the women’s division, joining the Women’s North American Championship in NXT. The Women’s Intercontinental Championship will be exclusive to Raw, mirroring the structure of the men’s division.

    Jade Cargill sidelined with injury after SmackDown attack

    WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Jade Cargill will be absent from television following a brutal attack on SmackDown that saw her thrown through a car windshield. According to Fightful Select, the dramatic angle was orchestrated to write Cargill off TV due to an undisclosed injury.

    The timing of her absence has led to changes in both the Women’s United States Championship tournament and the upcoming War Games match at Survivor Series. Cargill, who holds the tag titles with Bianca Belair, currently has no set timeline for her return.

  • CM Punk, Paul Heyman plotting betrayal against Roman Reigns, suggests WWE analyst

    Sam Roberts proposed a dramatic twist for Survivor Series 2024, suggesting Paul Heyman might orchestrate CM Punk‘s betrayal of Roman Reigns. The RAW Talk host shared his theory following Punk’s surprise alignment with The Bloodline on SmackDown.

    CM Punk joined forces with Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Sami Zayn after Paul Heyman introduced him as the fifth member of their WarGames team. The group confronted Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tonga Loa, Tama Tonga, and Bronson Reed during SmackDown’s closing segment.

    Roberts outlined his theory on NotSam Wrestling podcast. “What if Paul Heyman sends CM Punk into WarGames to turn on Roman Reigns? What if CM Punk is in that cage to do his bidding? What if the greatest trick the devil pulled was making you feel he never existed? What if instead of having that ultimate feel-good moment of Bloodline leaving WarGames standing tall, Paul orchestrates one of the greatest betrayals we’ve seen in years in WWE?”

    Dutch Mantell praised the SmackDown segment featuring Heyman and Punk on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Smack Talk. “I knew Paul Heyman was going to be in there, but since I don’t watch RAW, you know, CM Punk has moved off my radar. So, I didn’t even think CM Punk, but I knew Heyman would be there. It was really one of the better segments I’ve seen on SmackDown this year because they put it together fine.”

    The Bloodline storyline continues to evolve heading into Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. Will Paul Heyman remain loyal to Roman Reigns, or could CM Punk’s addition signal an unexpected shift in allegiances?

  • Seth Rollins set for Bronson Reed feud after WWE Survivor Series

    Seth Rollins looks to settle unfinished business with Bronson Reed following WWE Survivor Series. Reed secured a victory over Rollins on RAW through Solo Sikoa’s interference, balancing their record after Rollins’ win at Crown Jewel.

    WWE sources indicate plans for Rollins to resume his program with Reed after Saturday’s premium live event. Reed joins Solo Sikoa’s faction for WarGames, while Rollins turned down The Bloodline’s invitation to participate in the match.

    Former WWE writer Vince Russo criticized the recent match finish between Rollins and Reed on RAW. “Solo standing on the announce table, first of all, I am taking common man’s terms, I am not talking in wrestling terms. Seth is an absolute idiot to get distracted by a guy on the desk. Let’s look past that. So the Solo distraction is Seth’s out for losing. However, standing on a desk puts no heat on Solo Sikoa. No heat. Zero heat,” Russo stated.

    Rollins remains off the Survivor Series card for now. Will the World Heavyweight Champion make his presence felt during the WarGames match? Share your thoughts on this developing rivalry in the comments below.

  • WWE Hall of Famer claims he was first choice for John Cena’s viral Oscars moment

    WWE Hall of Famer JBL revealed he was initially approached for the memorable nude presentation at the Academy Awards before John Cena took on the role. Speaking on “What Were They Thinking?” on Backstage Pass, JBL shared the backstory behind the viral moment.

    “I was asked first to do the nudity at the Oscars. True story. It wasn’t that I didn’t wanna do it. I didn’t have time,” JBL explained. “I dropped it and John ran with it. I was supposed to do the thing at the Oscars, and I couldn’t do it. That’s kind of how this whole thing happened.”

    Cena’s appearance at the Oscars, where he presented the award for Best Costume Design in an apparent state of undress, earned him a standing ovation and significantly boosted his social media following. JBL praised Cena’s performance, noting he “did a wonderful job with it.”

    Former WWE producer predicts major Cena-Rock confrontation at Royal Rumble

    Ex-WWE producer Tommy Carlucci envisions a dramatic showdown between John Cena and The Rock at the 2025 Royal Rumble. Speaking on “The Coach & Bro Show,” Carlucci outlined his ideal scenario for the event.

    “I want to see The Rock and Cena at the end of the Royal Rumble. If I was writing the Royal Rumble, I’d make John Cena [come] first… and then pull out the surprise when the Final Boss comes out at like #25,” Carlucci suggested.

    He emphasized the potential of revisiting their historic rivalry from past WrestleManias, with one of them potentially winning the match.

  • Chelsea Green claims future US Title victory after controversial SmackDown win

    Chelsea Green declared herself the future Women’s United States Champion following her victory in Friday’s Triple Threat match on SmackDown. The Canadian star advanced in the tournament after defeating Blair Davenport and Bianca Belair under controversial circumstances.

    In a post-match workout video shared on WWE’s Instagram, Green addressed her fans while cycling. “I’m sure you all saw the amazing victory I had. Future United States Champion amongst you all,” Green stated. “A future United States Champion doesn’t do what other girls do. I don’t like to go for cocktails or whatever the other girls do. I get to work.”

    Green faces Bayley in the next round, with the tournament final scheduled for Saturday’s Night Main Event on December 14. The winner will become the inaugural Women’s United States Champion.

    Backstage attack leads to unexpected tournament outcome

    The Triple Threat match took an unexpected turn when Bianca Belair, who appeared poised for victory, was forced to abandon the contest after footage showed her tag team partner Jade Cargill unconscious backstage.

    Green capitalized on the situation, securing the win with a roll-up pin while Belair rushed to the parking lot, where Cargill was being transported to a hospital via ambulance.

    The identity of Cargill’s attacker remains unknown as the tournament continues.

  • Adam Pearce could add Triple Threat Match to WWE Survivor Series: WarGames

    With only three matches confirmed for Survivor Series: WarGames, WWE official Adam Pearce may announce an Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat match on tonight’s RAW. The potential bout would feature champion Bron Breakker defending against Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser.

    The possibility emerged following last week’s events, where Kaiser interfered in Breakker’s title defense against Sheamus. The Imperium member’s actions not only created tension with the champion but also cost The Celtic Warrior his opportunity at the title through disqualification.

    A Triple Threat match would address both situations while elevating the Intercontinental Championship’s prestige. The addition would also provide Kaiser with his anticipated singles push on the main roster, while giving Sheamus a fair chance to compete for the title.

    Bron Breakker acknowledges Jey Uso’s influence on his career

    Speaking at Ringside Fest 2024, Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker offered praise for his former rival Jey Uso. “Working with Jey was great,” Breakker said. “It comes with great responsibility, and I think it’s going to be a great opportunity for me to go on a nice run and have some character development.”

    Their rivalry began after Breakker captured the Intercontinental Championship from Sami Zayn at SummerSlam 2024. While Jey briefly held the title, Breakker reclaimed it in a rematch marked by Solo Sikoa’s interference.

    Both competitors now head into Survivor Series: WarGames with different alignments, as Jey returns to The Bloodline while Breakker continues his evolving character arc.

When Redmond questions if he’s no longer the dominant wrestler he once was, as Priest claims, the Puerto Rican interrupts the interview.

    Priest taunts GUNTHER, demanding him to answer the question, but the Austrian remains silent. Priest enters the ring. As Redmond tries to leave, he asks her to hand the microphone to the champion, waiting to see if he has the courage to speak.

    Alone in the ring, Priest states that GUNTHER’s condition is due to never having dealt with a problem like him. “And at Survivor Series, this problem will take your title,” Priest declares. The Puerto Rican questions what the champion will think when he loses his belt to a man from the streets.

    GUNTHER stares down Priest, ready to respond. However, just when it seems he’s about to leave the ring… GUNTHER attacks Priest with the microphone to the head. The Austrian unleashes a series of attacks against his rival, taking him outside the ring. GUNTHER clears the announce table before going back to grab Priest.

  • Triple H changed plans for WWE Survivor Series 2024 last minute?

    Last week’s SmackDown delivered a shocking moment when Paul Heyman introduced CM Punk as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline team for Survivor Series: WarGames. The announcement caught fans off guard, as Seth Rollins was widely expected to join Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Sami Zayn against The Bloodline and Bronson Reed on November 30.

    Former WWE head writer Vince Russo commented on Triple H’s decision during his BroDown podcast on Backstage Pass. Russo suggested the creative change came after he criticized the potential inclusion of Rollins in the team.

    “I guarantee you that Triple H read my tweet. So, what do they do? At the last minute, oh it’s CM Punk, which makes absolutely no sense. There’s no story,” Russo stated. “This was done just for a pop. It makes no sense in the storyline, whatsoever. This company works on pops.”

    The decision marks Punk’s first WWE storyline since the Bad Blood Premium Live Event. While the reasoning behind Triple H’s choice remains unclear, reports indicate this could ignite a rivalry between Punk and Rollins, who had previously turned down multiple offers to join the OG Bloodline due to his issues with Roman Reigns.

    Triple H could announce surprise title match at Survivor Series

    Another potential surprise might be brewing for Survivor Series: WarGames, as Triple H could announce a Falls Count Anywhere match between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

    The tension between Rhodes and Owens escalated on SmackDown last week during a heated exchange. Owens showed no remorse for his recent actions, including injuring Randy Orton, and instead blamed Rhodes for the situation. When Rhodes challenged him to a match at either Survivor Series or Saturday Night’s Main Event, Owens dismissed the challenge, stating it would happen on his terms.

    Following this confrontation, Rhodes had another altercation with former NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes. The two are scheduled to face each other on this week’s SmackDown, where Owens might interfere, potentially leading to an impromptu title match announcement at Survivor Series.

  • Adam Pearce shares emotional tribute to Bray Wyatt ahead of WWE RAW

    WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a heartfelt message accompanied by throwback photos with the late Bray Wyatt. The post emphasized the importance of living in the moment and cherishing time with loved ones.

    Wyatt’s impact continues to resonate throughout WWE, with the current stable The Wyatt Sicks serving as a tribute to his legacy. The former Universal Champion was at the height of his career when his untimely passing deeply affected the wrestling community.

    In a recent interview, Bo Dallas, who portrays Uncle Howdy in The Wyatt Sicks, revealed that WWE initially opposed pairing him with his brother Bray. “If we were coming back, we were gonna come back as a team. So initially that was the idea, and then we started talking to the company, and some things happened,” Dallas explained. Despite this earlier decision, Dallas has received praise for his portrayal of Uncle Howdy in The Wyatt Sicks.

    AEW’s Peter Avalon defends fantasy elements in wrestling

    AEW star Peter Avalon recently addressed criticism of supernatural wrestling characters like The Wyatt Sicks during an appearance on the “Power and Glory” podcast. Avalon defended the role of fantasy in professional wrestling, arguing that the sport itself exists in a realm of fantasy.

    “Wrestling is fantasy in itself,” Avalon stated, supporting the coexistence of realistic and fantastical elements within wrestling shows. He praised Wyatt’s final WWE run, noting how the late performer created his own unique universe within WWE’s broader world.

    “I love it when it’s complete bulls**t, I love it, I loved Undertaker being magic, you know, I loved Kane being able to control Hellfire,” Avalon added, emphasizing that wrestling’s appeal often lies in its ability to blend entertainment with fantasy elements.
