Saturday Night’s Main Event + The Rock’s Entrance Music 50:18

9h ago50:18

50:18

Saturday Night’s Main Event was the start of an incredibly busy wrestling Summer. There wasn’t much in terms of titles exchanging hands, but we did see the return of Bronson Reed for Seth Rollins’ unnamed stable. Plus Cody Rhodes is back! And he set up a Money in the Bank match with him and Jey Uso vs. John Cena and Logan Paul. Rerun: The Rock’s En…

WWE Backlash 2025 38:51

14d ago38:51

38:51

Backlash is often regarded as the come-down show for WWE. There’s plenty to criticize; why is Gunther taking on Pat McAfee on his road back to the World Heavyweight Championship picture? And why is WWE intent on protecting Pat McAfee as an in-ring performer? Let’s not let that completely distract from the fun moments: Danielle gets to squee about J…

Seth Freakin’ Rollins as the Top Guy 54:16

21d ago54:16

54:16

Backlash weekend is upon us! Five matches doesn’t inherently make for a light card, but there it is a problem when one of those matches features Pat McAfee. Between that, the women’s tag title scene and maybe a few other things, there’s reason for pessimism in WWE. But there’s also a lot to enjoy– just take a look at Chelsea Green who hasn’t let he…

WrestleMania 41 55:38

1M ago55:38

55:38

The biggest weekend in wrestling has come and gone; and all anyone wants to talk about is how disappointed they were by that main event between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. And sure there’s disappointment between that, The Rock’s absence, and the Travis Scott of it all, there still was a lot of good too. New champions were crowned and we even had a r…

48:22

It’s the biggest weekend in wrestling at last! And while we’d love to express our full joy at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, there’s no doubt that this build feels… a little weaker than the last few years.
