A funeral service for Hulk Hogan took place on Tuesday in Clearwater, Florida. Several WWE legends appeared at the funeral, and one important guest delivered a heartfelt eulogy. According to Fightful’s Jimmy Van, former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon made this eulogy and asked the attendees to give Hogan “one last standing ovation.”

McMahon and Hogan’s relationship began decades ago when he was the biggest star in WWE and made Hulkamania into a phenomenon. While they were friends for the most part, McMahon and Hogan also experienced some tension between them.

Other important guests at the private service from the world of wrestling included Ric Flair, Kid Rock, Linda McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Shane McMahon, Triple H, Kevin Nash, and Bam Margera. Flair took it to X to share that Hogan had sold out even in heaven. He shared:

Even In Heaven, He Sold Out Again. The Most Beautiful Funeral I’ve Ever Attended!

Stephanie McMahon and her brother, Shane McMahon, come from the illustrious McMahon family, which is considered a top clan in the world of professional wrestling. Their father, Vince McMahon, is claimed to be the ultimate visionary who changed the business forever.

In that journey, Stephanie and Shane McMahon were pivotal figures. As part of the wrestling world, they have garnered immense success for numerous years, which has also translated into huge financial earnings. However, the question to address is which McMahon exceeds the other in that aspect.

Stephanie McMahon’s journey in WWE has been an interesting story to witness. She began modelling for her father’s company as a child model and debuted as the young and innocent daughter of Vince McMahon. Eventually, she became an onscreen performer, WWE Women’s Champion,...

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are the real power couple of WWE. However, their relationship was something that was meant to be limited to the cameras when the two were part of a storyline in 1999. Stephanie McMahon was supposed to marry Test in a televised wedding. The sacred ceremony was interrupted by Levesque, who revealed that they had already tied the knot in Las Vegas.

The saga further developed in 1999 when Triple H and Vince McMahon squared off in a No Holds Barred match. In a shocking twist, the latter was betrayed by his daughter, present at the ringside. Thus, kicking off the infamous McMahon-Helmsley faction. Despite catching feelings for Levesque, she tried to shake it off because of a forbidden rule, which she mentioned at Triple H – Thy Kingdom Come (via People). She said,

I was forbidden to date any of the wrestlers, and [Triple H] was flirtatious with me. I would think like,...

Think about the people who have been a constant in the WWE throughout the years, and Stephanie McMahon’s name would be right there on top. Others come and go, but she somehow remains associated with the company.

Her father, Vince McMahon, is now officially out of the company after the Janel Grant Lawsuit, and her brother, Shane McMahon, is now retired as a professional wrestler and a WWE executive. But she continues appearing in WWE programming in some capacity or the other.

Her latest appearance inside the squared circle was at WWE Evolution 2025. She not only kick-started the Ple event after a remarkable speech but also interviewed Stephanie Vaquer, who won the 20-woman Battle Royal in what was a standout moment of the event. As refreshing as it was to see Stephanie McMahon back at WWE Evolution, the most noticeable feature was that she has not lost an iota of her charisma and attitude.

Stephanie McMahon is basically WWE royalty; she’s been around the business since she was a kid and knows it inside out. Over the years, she’s played a massive role in shaping the company, especially when it comes to pushing the women’s division forward and giving women’s wrestling the spotlight it deserves.

Lately, though, Steph’s stepped out of the limelight and taken on more of a behind-the-scenes role. But she hasn’t exactly disappeared; she launched a podcast called What’s Your Story? with Steph McMahon, where she chats with big names in the wrestling world. Guests so far include legends like Randy Orton, WWE CEO Nick Khan, and rising stars like Dominik Mysterio.

There are plenty more wrestlers we’re hoping to see on future episodes, and honestly, hearing their personal journeys straight from them? That’s the kind of insight fans live for.

Not all goodbyes are unfortunate or bad. Some WWE superstars have proved time and again that certain exits are not only reversible, they can also astonish fans and critics alike. These comebacks become a cornerstone in the WWE storylines with the kind of performances fans witness inside the squared circle.

One such superstar who is creating waves of excitement inside the WWE these days is Goldberg. The Icon made a mesmerizing return to the WWE and confronted the World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther, straight away. Goldberg’s return to the WWE is special in many ways. Although this is not the first time the Jackhammer specialist has come back to the WWE ring, it could be his last run as a professional wrestler.

In the light of Goldberg’s high-octane return, here are 10 WWE superstars who returned better than ever after long absences from WWE.

Professional wrestling is all about thrilling storylines, drama, and intensity inside the ring. But the rivalry is not limited to wrestlers. The feud between Shane McMahon and her sister Stephanie McMahon remains one of the most contentious executive contests in the WWE.

While Stephanie McMahon has remained a constant in the executive spheres of the company, her brother, Shane, had a difficult relationship with her and their father, Vince McMahon. The two siblings are miles apart in their approach, demeanor, and leadership skills. With WWE now officially out of the control of the McMahon family, one might ask: how and why were the two McMahons so different?

Bret Hart and Vince McMahon have always been at each other’s throats, ever since the infamous Montreal Screwjob incident. However, despite the differences, the duo has always shone in their respective capacities, with Hart bringing the fire to the ring while McMahon brought it to the authority. With all of this being said, the latest relations between the two have been all over the place.

Ever since his inception in the WWF, Bret Hart has always been a reckoning force. It was his introduction in the Hart Foundation alongside Jim ‘The Anvil’ Neidhart and Jimmy Hart as the stable’s manager that saw his popularity shoot through the skies. Following his success in the tag team, he decided to part ways with them and eventually launch his singles career, and the rest, they say, is history.

The history of WWE has seen many versions of Paul “Triple H” Levesque, which range from him making his debut in taped vignettes to becoming the Cco of the biggest wrestling promotion brand in the world. In the process, he has become a multi-time WWE Champion and a Grand Slam Champion.

Needless to say, he has had several iconic moments, which fans remember as if they happened yesterday. Among these moments lies a dark and horrifying episode in which he agonized the McMahon family to assert his dominance. Thus, leading to one of the most gruesome clips from the Attitude Era.

The beatdown was personal and brutal, reminding the WWE Universe how things happened differently back in the day, and The Game would not show mercy even to his boss.

The Undertaker is widely regarded as one of the most professional wrestlers in WWE history. Throughout his career, he remained committed to his dark, grumpy, and mysterious persona, rarely breaking character. However, there were moments when even he nearly slipped due to the antics of other WWE superstars, especially Kurt Angle and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

One of the most famous instances occurred during the iconic Alliance vs. WWE storyline, where The Undertaker almost laughed because of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s antics.

Back in 2001, Vince McMahon bought Ecw and WCW and turned them into an exciting storyline. Wrestlers from Ecw and WCW joined forces to form an alliance and started attacking WWE stars during their matches. To fight back, Vince McMahon assembled his own team, featuring top WWE superstars like Chris Jericho,...

Vince McMahon has long been a consequential figure in WWE. While he gets the credit for transforming WWE from humble beginnings to the most successful professional wrestling company in history, he also gets criticized for his abrasive demeanor and several controversial decisions made during his tenure as the company’s chairman.

His in-ring performances, in addition to his executive role, have also drawn significant attention. Fans witnessed a display of his physical prowess when he faced his son, Shane McMahon, in a high-stakes clash at WrestleMania X-Seven.

The leadership of WWE experienced a major shift in 2024 when longtime Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon left the promotion after serious allegations from Janel Grant. The parent company, Tko Group Holdings, appointed his son-in-law, Triple H to be his successor and lead the charge alongside WWE CEO and President, Nick Khan.

The duo has been taking the Sports Entertainment juggernaut to impeccable heights. However, tensions have been reported in the McMahon household between Vince, his daughter Stephanie McMahon, and The Game himself, Triple H.

In the latest episode of Behind the Turnbuckle, former WWE personnel Jonathan Coachman made a huge claim regarding the McMahon family. He stated Vince McMahon was not happy with how things were going on in the company, he turned from a regional promotion to a global giant.

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns is the most overrated and overdone feud of the century. They had some of the most mediocre matches in WWE history, yet the company considers this rivalry as one of the greatest ever. This designation can be given to Stone Cold vs The Rock, John Cena vs. Edge, Cm Punk vs. John Cena, etc. However, Reigns and Lesnar do not deserve to be in that category.

In between the matches at WrestleMania 31 and Summerslam 2022, they had a very boring match catalogue filled with not so great matches. This rivalry reached peak boredom in 2018 when Vince McMahon was desperate to make Reigns the new face of the company. When Brock Lesnar won the Universal title in WrestleMania 33, everyone knew who his opponent was going to be next year.

Vince McMahon has long been a consequential and influential figure in WWE. As the driving force behind the company for decades, he consistently operated on his terms. While many of his decisions gave rise to legendary characters and memorable storylines, others drew significant criticism from the wrestling community.

One of the most controversial moments in Vince McMahon’s storied career came when he ordered Trish Stratus to bark like a dog during a segment on WWE television. The incident sparked a widespread backlash from fans and critics alike, with many viewing it as demeaning and inappropriate. However, some WWE superstars later expressed that they did not find the moment as outrageous or sensational as it was portrayed in the media.

John Cena’s retirement tour has been the talk of the town, and fans can’t get enough of it. But wait, Aj Styles, another WWE legend, is also nearing the end of his illustrious career. At nearly 48, Aj has indicated that he would retire before he turns 50.

That means we may have already seen his last matches in WWE. We’ve all been living in Aj’s retirement season since he made his WWE debut at the Royal Rumble 2016, and he has given us nothing but high-flying, passionate, and entertaining matches throughout his career. While Cena’s farewell tour steals the spotlight, what Aj has done throughout his career from Tna to WWE is worthy of its own celebration, so let’s show this future Hall of Famer some love.

WWE Backlash is just around the corner, and the excitement is building. Fans are in for an amazing event, but the match everyone is talking about is the main event between John Cena and Randy Orton. These two superstars have had one of the greatest rivalries in WWE history, with many legendary matches over the years.

This time, there’s a twist—throughout their rivalry, Cena has always been the hero, while Orton played the villain. But now, the roles have flipped! Orton is the good guy, and Cena has turned heel. It’s going to be an incredible showdown, and fans can’t wait for it to begin. Before the action kicks off, let’s take a look at the five greatest Backlash main events in WWE history.

With WWE’s recent acquisition of Aaa, a new era of Luchadores has begun to take shape within the company, infusing fresh energy and rich tradition into its storytelling. Among the masked marvels leading this wave, none have captured attention quite like Chad Gable, who enabled the reemergence of the legendary figure known as El Grande Americano.

Once a mythical name in the world of Lucha Libre, El Grande Americano has returned to the spotlight, this time under the guise of WWE superstar Chad Gable. Donning the iconic mask and embracing the character’s legacy, Gable has sparked widespread intrigue and speculation among fans, reigniting the mystique around the masked warrior’s identity.

Wrestling is one of the most commercialized sports in the world. It doesn’t just focus on the professional side of wrestling; there is also a whole entertainment side to it. One of the kingpins of the commercialized wrestling world is WWE, formerly known as the WWF.

They changed the way wrestling was viewed, introducing larger-than-life characters, adding a storyline, and creating a narration of heroes and villains, which immensely grew its popularity. With the growing popularity came more viewers and money. WWE has found many ways to capitalize on its connectivity with fans, one of the most resourceful being selling pay-per-view (PPV) events.

There are many special events in WWE that generate PPV sales for the show, including WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and more. Some of these shows have insane lineups and matches that draw large crowds globally. Some have even broken records with huge streaming numbers.

Let’s...

Brock Lesnar has been an absolute menace in the WWE. His sheer power and muscle buildup earned him the name of the Beast. Lesnar has not only dominated in wrestling, but also ventured into the UFC and become the UFC champion. This brutal domination inside the ring has brought him immense success.

However, this successful run also came with some ego persona, and he wasn’t always the fan favorite when he went a bit overboard with his attitude or actions. Multiple instances inside the WWE could have been despicable for fans. Among them were the famous Randy Orton Botch and breaking the streak of the Undertaker. However, the most disgraceful moment of Brock Lesnar’s career was his disrespect to Paul Heyman.

After 30 years in the pro wrestling business, Chris Jericho remains one of the top in-ring performers. In addition to providing entertainment for the audience, he also makes his opponents “look good” in the ring. Jericho has been a veteran of the ring and has worked for companies like WCW, Njpw, WWE, and now Aew. The man is known for adapting and changing when things go a bit stale.

With his patience and reputation, Jericho has remained a precious co-worker to many. However, there was one time when even the ‘Le Champion’ lost his cool. The culprit was none other than Shane McMahon.

As WrestleMania 41 got off the air, fans expressed their displeasure instantly, stating that the finish to the grandest event of all wasn’t as sumptuous, they thought it should have been. It was merely a wind of greatness to come with John Cena prevailing over Cody Rhodes to script history in terms of numbers.

Not only were the fans unhappy about the fact that the finish to the match was a dampener, they also pointed out that the absence of The Rock from the second night’s main event after creating one of the most iconic moments in 25 years of pro-wrestling (John Cena’s heel turn) was a massive let down for them. However, when someone of The Rock’s stature decides to stay away from the ring for an event that he has constantly shown up for in the last few decades, suspicions arise.

Is The Rock versus Triple H really happening?...

The Rock and Shawn Michaels are two of the most iconic figures in WWE history, each boasting multiple championship reigns and legendary careers. However, a potential dream match between these two megastars remained one of the most highly anticipated clashes that, unfortunately, never became a reality.

There are numerous theories as to why The Rock and Shawn Michaels never squared off in the ring. The wrestling community remains divided on the issue, some believe personal tensions and a lack of mutual respect prevented the match from happening, while others point to conflicting storylines and the unfortunate timing of their respective careers as the main reasons.

However, the true explanation may be more complex and nuanced than the rumors suggest. Rocky Johnson, the father of The Rock, talked about why his son never faced Shawn Michaels.

Randy Orton has been one of the top names in the WWE, and his appearance is valued. Any injury to the top wrestler of the WWE is a direct injury to the business. Orton suffered a neck injury in 2009 after a botched suplex. This happened in a 10-man tag team match, and the superstar who delivered a botched suplex had to face harsh consequences.

The Viper was one of the top guns for the franchise, and he was very angry at the superstar who delivered the botched suplex. Orton himself accepted that he was so mad at the fellow wrestler that he directly told Vince McMahon that he would never work with him again.

Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar facing each other was a dream scenario for many a wrestling fan. It came true when they started antagonizing each other just after the 2016 WWE Draft. Both were from different brands and the build-up was each one of them invading and attacking the other.

Orton sounded the bugle by invading Monday Night Raw and giving an Rko to Brock Lesnar. ‘The Beast Incarnate’, too, repaid the favor when he invaded SmackDown and F-5’ed Randy Orton. It felt like a hot rivalry made hotter because of two things: (a) Both of them, at that point, had never had a match with each other (b) Lesnar was coming off a huge victory against Mark Hunt at UFC 200(which was his return to Mma after four-ish years).

Chris Jericho has been one of the top WWE wrestlers with in-ring action. His moves have been iconic, his personality and his jacket with shining lights, and his entrance had been electrifying WWE for many years. Chris had a charming personality in WWE, with a great connection with the audience and smiles all around.

However, these smiles turned to anger when he was running on fumes as he confronted Brock Lesnar backstage in 2016. Recalling this incident on the True Geordie podcast, Chris Jericho revealed how angry he was at Brock after his match against his friend, Randy Orton, in SummerSlam 2016.

Brock Lesnar versus Randy Orton in 2016 was one of the most talked-about fights from the WWE. This is because the former UFC champion, Brock Lesnar, turned UFC on Randy Orton inside a WWE ring. This eventually left Orton bleeding, and he suffered multiple concussions.

The ‘Battle of Billionaires’ remains one of the most iconic moments of the WWE. Probably only a few storylines in the WWE remain as popular as the epic contest between Vince McMahon and Donald Trump. The muscle men who acted as mercenaries for the two rich businessmen were Bobby Lashley and Umaga, respectively.

While Umaga and Bobby Lashley fought for their masters during the storyline. The most interesting part of the bet between Donald Trump and Vince McMahon was the conditions of the bet.

The WWE universe rejoiced at that moment. Recently, Bobby Lashley has opened up on the whole saga of events that turned out when Vince McMahon lost the bet.

Shane McMahon may have entered the spotlight with the McMahon name, but he didn’t just coast on family fame—he turned it into something entirely his own. A fourth-generation wrestling promoter with a flair for high-flying chaos and boardroom boldness, Shane’s legacy is built on guts, grit, and gutsy business plays.

From reffing matches as a teen to climbing corporate ladders (and literal steel cages), he’s blended bloodlines with business smarts—and proved he’s more than just Vince’s son.

Growing up as Vince McMahon’s son, Shane could’ve moved easily without doing much. But he has worked his ranks up in order in his WWE career, doing possibly everything. Shane is a hustler, and that has paid off big time. But how big? Let’s step into the squared circle of his life.

Since 1975, the United States Championship maintained its presence under Jim Crockett Promotions before WWE formed. WWE obtained the US championship through the acquisition of WCW during its 2001 buyout, unlike most championships in WWE today.

WWE reactivated the US Championship in 2003 after a short unification period with the Intercontinental Championship, which made it a constant mid-card title throughout. The company has used the title across its history to develop wrestlers who would go on to become future champions. The United States Championship history grew stronger with names like Eddie Guerrero, Ric Flair, and Booker T.

Throughout the last 15 years, the title was associated with 39 different names. Many WWE superstars representing different styles have won the WWE US Championship title. Let’s conduct an extensive evaluation of every United States Champion in WWE from 2010 to 2025.

If you ask any WWE fan about the most viewed segment in the promotion’s history, there is a high chance that the epic fight between Brock Lesnar and John Cena will be the answer. But what if I tell you that they are completely wrong, then what comes to your mind next?

The most viewed WWE segment is not the brawl that cleared the entire WWE locker room, but an R-rated moment that involves Randy Orton and the daughter of WWE’s former CEO, Vince McMahon.

Randy Orton | credit-wwe Randy Orton kissing Stephanie McMahon became the most-viewed WWE segment

This was before the PG-13 era, and WWE was answerable to none for their content; wild and vulgar segments were popular and common at that point. However, there was one segment that crossed all limits of obscenity and would have easily resulted in the promotion getting banned if it aired in today’s society.

Stephanie McMahon will likely make her WWE comeback at WrestleMania 41 weekend, when her husband Triple H will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. A WWE legend has now made a joke about McMahon, which was deemed inappropriate by many fans.

Ric Flair is not exactly an old-timer who holds back on his raw thoughts. He always loves running his mouth and making outrageous claims. His joke about missing the opportunity to kiss McMahon may not sit well with Triple H. The Hunter has the perfect setup at WrestleMania to exact his revenge.

At the Las Vegas edition, John Cena is set to make a record for winning the Championship title 17 times. He is currently tied with Flair’s record of 16 championship titles, which means that he gets to beat the legend’s record with his win.

Ric Flair makes joking remarks...

The WWE Universe has certainly witnessed a great deal of moments throughout the years — but few moments took fans more by surprise than the now-infamous WWE set that nearly decapitated Vince McMahon. What was going to be just another typical show, another night of sports entertainment drama, became an event that rocked the very foundation of WWE itself.

A giant piece of the set fell while McMahon made a speech in the ring. It was so shocking that some people thought that might’ve been a work shoot at first. But with the chaos that ensued and the WWE Chairman scrambling to get treatment, it was no longer a scripted performance but a brutal reality.

This immediately prompted an explosion of conspiracy theories. Was it an accident, just a technical snafu, or was there foul play? This left the WWE Universe with more questions than answers.

The McMahon family has been the sole owner of the WWE till 2023. Vince and his family were everywhere. From behind the scenes to in front of our screen. We saw his and his family’s evil antics for the past two decades. Their antics ranged from the weird to the bizarre. Today is the 25th anniversary of one such bizarre scene: former WWE CEO Stephanie McMahon slapping her mother Linda McMahon(current US Secretary of Education) in an episode of Smackdown in 2000.

When Stephanie McMahon turned heel, she was defying everyone. Her father, her mother, and her brother. She and Triple H were the new hot-heel couple causing trouble everywhere. Triple H had just retired Mick Foley at No Way Out after a grueling Hell-in-a-Cell match(a match any wrestling match should watch).

The Rock,...

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson might have multiple ventures under his belt that keep him busy these days. However, his love and respect for the WWE business remains undeniable. The company that made him a huge star worldwide saw his return in an official capacity in 2024, and he has since been a major part of WWE’s new era.

The Rock was named a member of the Tko Board of Directors last year. Simultaneously, he was a key part of the road to WrestleMania 40, during which he took inspiration from his power role and carved out the iconic character, the WWE Universe, now known as The Final Boss.

Moreover, The Rock also returned this year as the road to WrestleMania 41 began in full force. He went straight to target his rival, Cody Rhodes, who is the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion.

Vince McMahon could have owned both WWE and UFC only if he had listened to his son for once. The former owners of UFC the Semaphore Entertainment Group (Seg) wanted to sell the promotion and the first man they approached was Shane McMahon.

UFC in the 2000s was not as big as it is today. Many countries banned the bloodsport, and TV networks were not interested in the promotion. This felt like an opportunity for Shane McMahon to buy and build the company from scratch, but his father had some other plans.

Why was Vince McMahon not interested in buying UFC? Vince McMahon | credit- WWE

When the idea was brought to the senior McMahon he immediately waved it off as he did with most of the ideas his son came up with. According to Vince UFC was a sport and they were in show business.

In the history of boxing, Mike Tyson is one of those prolific names who has made a meaningful impact on the heavyweight division by showcasing his exceptional skills. Despite his short prime and controversial career, Iron Mike has always been a fan favorite who has earned a brutal image for his actions.

Well, when we look at the best moments of Tyson’s career, it is filled with moments that are not the best. One such moment was when he was a special enforcer during Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 14, which commenced the Attitude Era.

However, the beginning was marked by a controversy that had left Shawn Michaels fuming at the acclaimed heavyweight boxer for creating a WrestleMania moment that came at the cost of his reputation.

In the sports entertainment industry, Vince McMahon has been seen as a ruthless businessman who will do everything that is “best for business.” This trait has helped him to make WWE a global brand, where fans would tune in each week to watch the emotionally gripping fictional storyline that pushes the limits of sports entertainment.

Disappointingly, in the process, he has severed the relationship with people close to him and released some of the biggest and greatest talents that have ever stepped foot in the ring. Therefore, the members of the locker room must do everything in their power to maintain Mr. McMahon’s favor; otherwise, dire repercussions will follow.

Dave Bautista is one of those unfortunate members who learned this the hard way, recalling an incident in which he was fined a large sum for compromising World Wrestling Entertainment’s PG Era.

With a superhero-like physique, impressive in-ring athleticism, a wide arsenal of moves, and unmatched microphone skills, John Cena was the perfect definition of an idol. For over two decades, fans have been looking up to him for his “Never Give Up” attitude and how he would overcome the odds. Thus, he became one of the faces of WWE, who would always be with the fans.

His battles against Cm Punk’s Nexus and Triple H’s Authority are the most prominent storylines in his WWE career. However, on March 1, 2025, he shocked the world by launching a brutal assault on Cody Rhodes after he turned down Dwayne Johnson’s offer.

While the world was still recovering from his actions, he once again reminded them of his actions, sending a cryptic message about how he is now the Harvey Dent of WWE.

John Cena takes inspiration from Harvey...

John Cena finally turned heel for the first time in his WWE career and shook hands with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Travis Scott to betray his now-former confidante Cody Rhodes. Interestingly, Cena was on the verge of turning heels 13 years prior when he went up against ‘The Rock’ at WrestleMania Xxviii. The 13-time WWE champion had his song and outfit ready for the transition, but the sole hindrance that led to WWE dropping the plan was none other than Vince McMahon.

One of the major talking points of WrestleMania has always been the presence of The Undertaker. The superhuman streak of 21-0 until WrestleMania 30 always made the fans speculate what would happen if it ever got broken. The streak built over time for the Dead Man at the expense of several superstars that featured big names like Jimmy Snuka, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Roman Reigns, Edge, and the list goes on.

These famous rivalries were built up over the Road to WrestleMania, and the way the Undertaker reaped the rewards of these battles across the ages was simply mesmerizing. His clash against Kane in WrestleMania Xx induced the paranormal element in WWE in a much more intimidating avatar, and his match with the Edge in WrestleMania Xxiv for the World Heavyweight Championship witnessed the extreme fringe of resilience.

Ever since Paul “Triple H” Levesque has taken charge of WWE, the company has witnessed a creative rebirth that has once again made entertainment wrestling fun to watch. The company has been thriving under his leadership as he has been discarding the restrictions set by its previous owner, Vince McMahon, after he was forced to step away after he faced serious legal charges for s*xual misconduct.

Since then, the Game has been making minor and major changes. However, the most prominent business decision he took was expanding their relationship with Netflix, as all the live shows and exclusive PPVs are now streamed on the Ott platform.

However, Nick Khan, the President of WWE, unravels how the joint venture was just the beginning and how great things are yet to arrive as their partnership will mark major changes in the organization’s landscape.

Kids these days know Dave Bautista from his iconic role as Drax the Destroyer in Kevin Feige’s MCU and has been making waves in Hollywood with his acting range. Prior to establishing himself in Tinsel Town, he was a menace in WWE, where his incredible physique and raw power would make his in-ring opponents reconsider their decision to face him, leaving them bruised and battered.

Another man who has built a similar reputation in the WWE locker room is Brock Lesnar, who has a dominant in-ring presence and an incredible career to look back at. With countless moments to look back on and smile at, he has one moment in his career that would remain an eyesore for him.

Majorly because his WWE colleague resorted to unfair methods long before they became the heavyweights in professional entertainment wrestling.

Vince McMahon and his son, Shane McMahon, share one of the most turbulent father-son relationships that is widely known in the entertainment industry.

Nevertheless, this has not helped him build a close connection with his father. To give a clearer idea, the two share a long history of turbulence and conflict, as both men have their own unique set of ideas that will take WWE to a whole other level.

However, Mr. Mc Mahon would not let his son take over so easily, as Paul Heyman recalled a chilling argument between the two that soon took a chilling turn.

In the world of WWE, there have been quite a few spectacular entries and exits, but perhaps none as iconic as Randy Orton. Deemed one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time who has the tied-third most world championship reigns in history, he has picked a feud with the entirety of the McMahon family, including Triple H, Stephanie McMahon’s husband.

To say the least, his bad blood almost had him getting fired. But being one of the best bad guys in the WWE Universe and regarded among the greatest heels of all time, Orton not only made sure to keep his position but also proved to Paul Levesque aka the chief content officer of WWE that he may try his best but he still wouldn’t have a better big baddie than him.

WrestleMania has borne witness to many things, but President Donald Trump facing a Stone Cold stunner was still a shock to many. As fans are aware WWE founder Vince McMahon and the current President of the United States have been friends for decades.

However, what many don’t know is that there was a time when the two business moguls staged a feud to entertain the WrestleMania fans.

Fascinatingly, it escalated to the point that McMahon ended up subjecting Donald Trump to a Stone Cold stunner that would go down in history.

Vince McMahon had made a lot of controversial choices in his career, but nothing could come close to convincing Donald Trump to take a Stone Cold stunner in 2007. As per Huffpost, in a storyline spanning months,...

It has been a while since Vince McMahon was seen in public amidst the ongoing s*xual misconduct and s*x trafficking lawsuit filed against him by Janel Grant last year. The entire world came crashing down with downpours of scathing verdicts against the former owner of WWE, and following the debacle, he decided to shy away from the crowd. However, in a shocker to the world, McMahon was seen in public again, surfacing at the Super Bowl Lix.

In a showstopping blockbuster between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, Vince McMahon returned in an avatar never seen before. He wasn’t the only WWE superstar spotted in the mega clash, which was a star-studded affair in the Caesars Superdome.

In the world of wrestling, Vince McMahon has created a huge name for himself. He founded WWE alongside his wife, Linda Edwards, and made it the world’s largest pro-wrestling promotion. McMahon has quite literally devoted his entire life in order to promote the show. But this journey of his wasn’t without its own set of controversies. These contentions were the major reason why he stepped down from WWE’s CEO and chairman position.

This life of his also influenced a Netflix documentary titled Mr. McMahon. And a recent clip featuring his daughter Stephanie McMahon has started its own set of problems online, after she mentioned a famous boxer, that too in a very controversial tone.

WWE is rich in lore, history, and iconic moments, but none have been more iconic than The Undertaker's undefeated Streak at WrestleMania. Even when that Streak came to an end, his preceding WrestleMania matches were still considered must-see because of the legacy that the Deadman built at the Showcase of Immortals.

The names Undertaker and WrestleMania are synonymous with each other. Even now that Undertaker is some years removed from his last WrestleMania match and deep into his retirement, the event just does not feel the same without his presence at the Showcase of the Immortals. Not only was his Streak significant because of how lengthy it was (ending at 25-2), but because his matches would often be the best of the night - though not always.

Fans couldn’t understand why Vince McMahon would distance himself from the Netflix documentary Mr. McMahon. The series has disappointed fans who were looking to get a peek into “the real Vince McMahon” as the promo of the series had originally promised. Long-time wrestling fans found it to be the compilation of all the known controversies against the former CEO of WWE.

Mr. McMahon began work way before the Janel Grant lawsuit against McMahon. In the wake of the allegations and McMahon’s removal from WWE, the docu-series almost took a different path as filmmaker Chris Smith now gained access to talent and footage that the former CEO would’ve never signed off on.

The squared circle is a hallowed, holy land where miracles happen right before our very eyes. An art form not only in the displays of physical agility, strength, and charismatic acting, but also in a specific brand of live theater that can make even the most fantastical situations feel real. No matter how much a person knows "wrestling is fake," a good match can make even the strongest non-believer forget the predetermined outcome, and give themselves over to the scripted dance of grappling and glory. It's also home to some carny-ass jabronis who would be fun to laugh at if they weren't so vile and dangerous.

Vincent Kennedy McMahon did not invent the culture of professional wrestling, but he certainly shaped it in his image like a malevolent God — at least, the image he has chosen for the world at large. "The person he puts out there, the larger-than-life promoter,...

The Super Mario Bros. Movie box office success suggests potential for a Super Smash Bros. crossover movie. Characters like Bowser, Luigi, and Yoshi have hints at appearing in a future crossover event. Including characters like Donkey Kong, Little Mac, and Samus could add depth to a Super Smash Bros. adaptation.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has potentially revealed a lot of characters for a future crossover movie, such as a Super Smash Bros. movie. The Super Mario Bros. Movie achieved incredible success earning $1.36 billion upon its release and laying the foundation for many other family-friendly movies based on video games (via The Numbers). To put into perspective just how impressive that box office figure is, the next five highest earning video game movies all failed to go above $450 million (via The Numbers), meaning it tripled the next highest earning movie's total box office.

However, that does raise questions about what...
