    Bronson Reed shared a defiant message after taking down both Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in consecutive weeks. The RAW Superstar posted photos on Instagram showcasing his dominance over the former Shield members.

    Reed’s assault began last week on SmackDown when he aligned with Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline to attack Reigns. He followed up on RAW by defeating Rollins with assistance from Sikoa’s faction. As the fifth member of Solo’s WarGames team, Reed took to social media to boast about his actions.

    “Turn they tv off. #WWE,” Reed wrote alongside images of both Reigns and Rollins laid out on the mat, suggesting fans couldn’t handle watching their favorites fall.

    CM Punk joins forces with Roman Reigns for WarGames

    The OG Bloodline found their fifth member for Survivor Series: WarGames after Paul Heyman orchestrated CM Punk’s return to the fold. Despite initial tension during their face-to-face confrontation, Punk revealed he accepted the spot as a favor to the Wiseman.

    Following SmackDown’s conclusion, Reigns and Punk stood united, with the Tribal Chief later endorsing the alliance by sharing WWE’s updated Survivor Series poster on Instagram. The partnership emerged after Seth Rollins declined to join the team, citing unresolved issues with Reigns.

  • WWE’s Cathy Kelley teases exciting new projects outside company

    WWE backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley teased upcoming projects outside the wrestling promotion during her recent appearance on B4theBell podcast.

    Kelley, who returned to WWE in 2022 after a two-year hiatus, expressed enthusiasm about her future endeavors while maintaining her current role with the company.

    “I have a couple of things outside of WWE that I’m very excited for, that I don’t know that I can share yet, but I will be posting them on my socials,” Kelley said, keeping details under wraps while encouraging fans to follow her social media for updates.

    Kelley opens up about life-threatening dune buggy accident with Kevin Owens

    During the same podcast appearance, Kelley shared details of a frightening incident in Saudi Arabia that occurred before Crown Jewel 2024. She revealed how a dune buggy excursion with Kevin Owens nearly ended in tragedy when their vehicle rolled multiple times in the desert.

    “We rolled three and a half times in a dune buggy,” Kelley recounted, crediting Owens’ quick instincts for potentially saving her life. “He said his initial instinct was to protect me. I was holding onto a safety rail, he was right behind me. We could have gotten much more banged up than we did.”

    The pair emerged from the accident relatively unharmed, with Kelley expressing gratitude for their fortunate escape. The incident took place just weeks before Owens became involved in storylines with Randy Orton and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.

  • Sheamus faces possible RAW banishment amid feud with Ludwig Kaiser

    Former WWE Champion Sheamus could face banishment from Monday Night RAW, according to wrestling analyst Matt Camp. The speculation comes amid an intensifying rivalry with Ludwig Kaiser following the veteran’s return from career-threatening injuries in April 2024.

    Speaking on The Wrestling Matt podcast, Camp suggested Kaiser’s recent remarks about ending Sheamus’s career may foreshadow a high-stakes storyline. “I wonder if those statements by Kaiser are going to lead to something bigger. Something with higher stakes. Sheamus’s career, IC Title shots or whatever it may be; banishment from RAW, could be anything like that,” Camp explained.

    The tension between the two escalated last week when Kaiser interfered in Sheamus’s Intercontinental Championship match against Bron Breakker, causing a disqualification. Camp noted the parallel between Sheamus’s current position and his own past as a rookie facing veterans, suggesting this feud could propel Kaiser’s career forward.

    Ludwig Kaiser’s championship aspirations met with mockery

    Following his interference in the Intercontinental title match, Kaiser discussed his transition to singles competition and future championship aspirations. When WWE social media questioned if 2025 would be Kaiser’s breakthrough year, Sheamus responded with a dismissive comment:

    “It will. He’ll be a top stand-up comedian.”

    The exchange follows World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER’s recent encouragement of Kaiser to establish his own legacy after a loss to Damian Priest.

  • Jade Cargill out indefinitely after brutal SmackDown attack, title status uncertain

    WWE issued an injury update on Jade Cargill following a mysterious backstage attack on SmackDown. Cargill was discovered unconscious on a car hood in the parking lot area, having sustained multiple serious injuries.

    According to WWE’s medical report, Cargill suffered deep lumbar paraspinal muscle contusions, a bruised kidney, and significant knee damage including a sprained MCL and tibial plateau bone bruise in her right knee. She also sustained facial lacerations from the assault.

    The incident occurred while her tag team partner Bianca Belair was in the ring. Several WWE superstars, including Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, and Tiffany Stratton, were reportedly in the backstage area at the time of the attack. The identity of the assailant remains unknown.

    Cargill’s absence creates uncertainty around the Women’s Tag Team Championship. WWE may either strip her of the title or require Belair to find a new partner to defend the championships. The company has already removed Cargill from the Women’s United States Championship qualifying tournament on SmackDown and the upcoming WarGames match at Survivor Series.

    Bayley steps in for WarGames amid speculation

    During the taped November 29 episode of SmackDown, Bayley was revealed as Cargill’s replacement in the Women’s WarGames match. The Role Model joins forces with Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Naomi, and Bianca Belair for the high-stakes encounter.

    However, this last-minute substitution has sparked speculation about potential ulterior motives. Some observers draw parallels to Dakota Kai’s memorable betrayal at NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2019, where she attacked Michin backstage before turning on her own team.

    Wrestling analysts suggest Bayley could reveal herself as Cargill’s attacker during her WarGames entrance, potentially orchestrating an assault on her teammates.

  • Former employee urges WWE to keep The Rock’s Royal Rumble status under wraps

    A former WWE employee emphasized the importance of maintaining secrecy around The Rock’s potential participation in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Speaking on Behind The Turnbuckle podcast, Tommy Carlucci advised against announcing The Final Boss’s involvement beforehand.

    “I don’t wanna see TKO putting out a press release that The Rock is gonna be at Royal Rumble because that’ll kill the whole godda*n thing,” Carlucci said. “What we were good at back in the day was kayfabe on a need-to-know basis. The best thing watching a show is being surprised.”

    The Rock made his in-ring return last April, teaming with Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. After promising Rhodes a future confrontation, he appeared at Bad Blood last month, making a cryptic gesture toward the Undisputed WWE Champion, Reigns, and Jimmy Uso.

  • Seth Rollins addresses Randy Orton’s status after SmackDown attack

    Seth Rollins provided an update on Randy Orton’s condition following Kevin Owens’ Piledriver attack on SmackDown. Speaking with SI’s Fantasy Dirt, The Visionary expressed optimism about Orton’s return despite concerns over his spinal health.

    “That is out of my jurisdiction. I do know this. Randy does not have a healthy spine. Obviously he had surgery on it. Maybe last year, two years ago now, I think, on his lower back. So, hopefully Randy is not too injured. He’ll be back soon. I promise. At some point. It’s not so serious that he has to retire. I don’t believe.”

    The attack has fueled Owens’ ongoing rivalry with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, leading to their title match scheduled for Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14. Rollins and Orton share a storied history, including their memorable clash at WrestleMania 31, which featured both the ‘Heist of the Century’ and their iconic mid-air RKO sequence.

    Rollins favored to join OG Bloodline at WarGames

    Former WWE host Matt Camp believes Seth Rollins remains the top candidate to complete Roman Reigns’ team at Survivor Series: WarGames.

    Despite rejecting recent approaches from Sami Zayn and The Usos on RAW, speculation continues about Rollins’ potential alliance with The OG Bloodline.

    “So, I mean, I guess Seth would still probably be the favorite to be the fifth man on the team. I just hope they do it correctly,” Camp said on The Wrestling Matt podcast.

  • John Cena and The Rock could face off at Royal Rumble 2025, suggests WWE veteran

    Jonathan Coachman envisions The Rock and John Cena squaring off as final competitors in 2025 Royal Rumble match. WWE scheduled next year’s premium live event for February 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

    Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk lead potential entrants for Royal Rumble match. Speaking on Behind The Turnbuckle podcast, Coachman referenced The Rock and Cena’s WrestleMania moment earlier this year during Cody Rhodes’ match with Roman Reigns.

    “I think The Rock will be back more. That’s what I think. Why would you have Cena and Rock standing there just like Rock and Hogan did at the end of WrestleMania 18? For the right to win the Royal Rumble match and then have that guaranteed title shot at WrestleMania. Wouldn’t that be an amazing ending?” Coachman said.

    Dave Meltzer shared insights on Keepin’ It 100 podcast about Rock’s potential Royal Rumble victory. “The ultimate idea is Dwayne comes in and wins the Rumble and earns his title shot, you know. I mean, that was like, but does he want to do that? So, that’s up to Dwayne. If Dwayne wants to win the Rumble, he’s gonna win the Rumble. So, I guess that’s an answer is if Dwayne wants to it will be him a 100%,” Meltzer stated.

    WWE analyst Sam Roberts suggests 2025 Royal Rumble could feature most star-power in company history. Rock’s participation remains uncertain, though his recent return as Final Boss sparked speculation about increased WWE involvement.

  • Adam Cole addresses MJF feud criticism, reveals injury recovery struggles

    Adam Cole confronted recent criticism surrounding his renewed feud with MJF in AEW. Cole returned at WrestleDream 2024 to confront MJF after recovering from an ankle injury sustained at Dynamite: Grand Slam last year.

    Speaking on The Danny Ocean Show, Cole acknowledged fan concerns while defending the storyline’s direction. “I just feel that the story that me and MJF told needs a definitive conclusion. Coming back from injury, that’s exactly what I’m hopping into. Of course, you want to make as many people happy as possible. Then sometimes too, with stories, it takes a little bit to get back to where you were because a lot of the stuff that we did was very slow-burn,” Cole said.

    Cole detailed his recovery journey during an appearance on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez. “The concussion was genuinely scary. There was a real question of if I was going to be able to come back, and fortunately, I got the clearance from doctors that it was completely safe; it was fine; I was able to return. So, when this issue with the ankle happened, there was never a point where I felt like, ‘OK, I’m going to retire,’ because I knew this was something I could come back from. Now, as far as mental discouragement… it was an all-time high,” Cole revealed.

    The Undisputed Kingdom leader emerged as The Devil at Worlds End PPV before MJF attacked him during his brief appearance at Double or Nothing. Their storyline continues to evolve on AEW programming, with fans anticipating how Tony Khan will develop this complex rivalry.

  • Gage Goldberg reveals neck-breaking spear incident during football game

    Gage Goldberg, son of WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg, revealed he once broke an opponent’s neck while executing his father’s signature spear move during a high school football game. The 18-year-old University of Colorado football player shared this startling information during a conversation with Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter.

    “Oh, yeah, in high school football, for sure. Up here at Colorado, not yet. I’ve got in the game a little bit but I haven’t speared anyone yet, but in high school I definitely did. I broke someone’s neck before.”

    The younger Goldberg transitioned from Samuel V. Champion High School in Texas to join NFL legend Deion Sanders’ program at Colorado. During his time in Texas, Gage’s connection to wrestling royalty remained well-known among his peers. “I lived in Texas for five years, so I was with that group of people all throughout high school. They knew everything. They knew who my dad was, they know what I’m gonna be, and my presence kinda,” Gage explained.

    Bill Goldberg’s legacy continues to influence wrestling discussions, particularly with his recent announcement of retirement plans for 2025. Speculation grows about a potential final match against World Heavyweight Champion Gunther following their Bad Blood confrontation.
