Today marks day 281 of AJ Styles' current WWE Championship reign. This number is of some significance, as it has officially broken a record set almost 15 years ago. JBL would often tout that he was longest-reigning champion in SmackDown…

Despite serving as the developmental counterpart to SummerSlam, the Brooklyn edition of NXT’s TakeOver series could be argued as the WrestleMania of the yellow brand. Pivotal moments like the Sasha/Bayley classic in 2015, to the debut of…

Twenty six years old, less than five years as a professional wrestler, and one of the most decorated women’s wrestlers of all-time. There is probably no bigger testament to the WWE Performance Center than Alexa Bliss. In her relatively…

"Any man with two hands has a fighting chance”. These were the immortal words uttered by one Mr. James Ellsworth, before he was squashed in epic fashion by a pre-“Get these hands!” Braun Strowman. From there, the independent wrestler and…

Before we proceed, spoiler alert for upcoming NXT tapings. Still with me? Good stuff. The NXT Tag Team Championships are an interesting beast. It could be argued that matches for the tandem titles are frequently among the best in NXT as far…

Many of us still haven’t recovered from the masterpiece that was NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, and the follow-up is already upon us. I remarked that the WrestleMania starter (which was the main course, if we’re honest) was the strongest NXT…

When Jurassic World hit cinemas back in the Summer of 2015, it was an undisputed mega hit. It dominated the box office and, despite being flawed, was well-received by most. While the fourth instalment in Steven Spielberg’s legendary…

The much-lauded unsanctioned contest between Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans is something that I simply cannot get out of my head. Ever since that fateful special for the yellow brand concluded, I’ve been…

Christmas for wrestling fans has arrived. No matter the build or the card, we can't help but feel that all too familiar rush of excitement when WrestleMania rolls around. While the build has left a lot to be desired, that same complaint…
