The world of WWE has seen a lot of shockers, and John Cena’s recent return to the ring and turning heel was yet another one of them. There have been a lot of babyface/heel turns in the wrestling world over the years that have struck as surprising to fans, with some striking better as faces than heels while others being good at both. But it does not strip it of the unpredictability at all.

Cena’s turning heel, for one, really did serve as a stunning element because it was one of the most unexpected events ever for the ultimate babyface. At the Elimination Chamber 2025, he chose to align with The Rock and attack Cody Rhodes, gaining widespread attention by ending his nearly 20-year run as a face as he broke the record for the longest WWE face run before turning heel.

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.

These days women in WWE are headlining WrestleMania. But it wasn’t always this way as Debrah ‘Madusa‘ Miceli explains in her new autobiography she wrote with author Greg Oliver called “The Woman Who Would Be King: The Madusa Story.” Whether it was under the name Madusa or Alundra Blayze, the tough-as-nails star built a Hall of Fame career in pro wrestling during the 1980s and 1990s. The former women’s champion helped break glass ceilings. In the process, she created a brand and helped open doors for those who came in future generations. Then after finding success in one male-dominated industry, Madusa jumped into another, driving monster trucks. The “Queen of Carnage” would go on to become a two-time Monster Jam champ and bring new fans to the unique world of motorsports. Here during Women’s History Month, the trailblazer reflects on her journey and the changes she helped bring.

Mercedes Varnado, who wrestled in WWE as Sasha Banks, made her debut for Njpw at Wrestle Kingdom 17. Her premiere had been all but confirmed for weeks, but it was still surreal to watch as Mercedes Moné strutted to the ring in the Tokyo Dome. For now, the eyes of wrestling fans will be focused on her immediate future. Moné challenged Kairi to a match for the Iwgp Women's Championship at Battle in the Valley, which is set to take place on February 18 in San Jose. New Japan is clearly hoping Moné's time as Sasha Banks in the United States will help pull eyeballs to their California event next month. That the way she changed the perception of women's wrestling in WWE can occur once again for Njpw.

Here, we're taking more of a long-view approach. We want to examine Sasha Banks' legacy in WWE and determine whether she should be...

WhatCulture.com has learned that a source high-up inside WWE recently let slip the names of five candidates who have been discussed for this year’s Hall of Fame.

While these can only be treated as rumour until confirmed by WWE – and with anything in wrestling able to change at any time – our understanding is that all of the names below are virtually a lock for a spot to join the already announced Sting in this year’s class.

A couple are a surprise, while others were expected and long overdue. Some are relevant to the state of Texas – the host state of WrestleMania – be it for their history competing in the area or having been raised there.

But it is our understanding the following names will be inducted this year…

Cm Punk and Beth Phoenix have both reported on Twitter that former WWF Woman’s Champion Bull Nakano appeared backstage at a Raw house show in Japan today. Born in the country, Nakano who turns 44 in January, first appeared in the WWF in 1994, first as an associate of Luna Vachon before defeating Alundra Blayze for the title at an event in Tokoyo after losing her first shot at SummerSlam 1994.

Bull held the title for five months until losing it back to Blayze at a Raw event on April 3rd, 1995. She was fired that year after being found in possession of cocaine. She soon joined WCW and again found herself in a feud with Blayze, now known as Medusa, and they fought at WCW Hog Wild 1996. She retired from wrestling a year later to take up golf professionally but has had a few wrestling matches since.

There have been rumours that...
