Last night’s WWE Monday Night RAW felt like a show trying to do two things at once: push WWE Backlash into focus and clean up the creative mess left behind after WrestleMania. Some of it worked. Some of it dragged. The best parts of the night were clear: Bron Breakker verbally cooking Seth Rollins, Jacob … Read more
WWE needed last night’s RAW after WrestleMania to feel like a reset, a statement, and a shot of adrenaline after a WrestleMania weekend that a lot of fans came away from calling overproduced, ad-heavy, and a little too polished for its own good.

WrestleMania Night 1 had the kind of card that looked loaded on paper, but the actual show ended up feeling more uneven than explosive. WWE packed this Las Vegas opener with title changes, major returns, a celebrity-heavy main event, and one closing angle that clearly points straight toward Backlash, but the through line of the … Read more
WrestleMania 42 Night 1 arrives tonight with a card that looks stronger on paper than the road to it has felt at times.

In the fallout of Elimination Chamber, Monday’s show sprinted on two tracks at once—Seth Rollins vs. The Vision … Read more
Last night in Chicago, WWE ran Elimination Chamber like a company that already sees the WrestleMania 42 poster in its head and is willing to live with the complaints that come from drawing the outline in thick black marker.
