There are some WWE ID signings that feel like rewards for already-established independent names, and then there are signings like Jimmy House, which feel more like a statement about projection. House being presented with a WWE ID contract by Timothy Thatcher at Rhodes Wrestling Academy’s Rhodes Cup on March 8 was not just another indie … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, so I’m not doing the “Rhea Ripley is cool” version of this. Everybody already knows she’s cool.

This is not one of those premium live events where the promotion loads the … Read more
Less than seven weeks before WrestleMania 42, WWE had a chance on Friday night to make SmackDown feel urgent, focused, and impossible to ignore.

On paper, this was a monumental night: Cody Rhodes regained the Undisputed … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, so I’m not just picking names that pop the loudest on a graphic. I’m focusing on women whose careers changed the math — the ones who made the business adjust its expectations.

SmackDown arrives tonight with WrestleMania 42 pressure already squeezing the blue brand Tonight’s WWE Friday Night SmackDown does not feel like a routine fallout episode.
