Retiring in WWE isn’t quite the same as hanging up the boots in other sports. More often than not, when a wrestler “retires,” it’s not really goodbye; they tend to find their way back into the squared circle eventually. We’ve seen it happen time and time again.

Recently, Cody Rhodes tried to do something similar by bringing back Aj Styles’ biggest rival from his Tna days. But that plan didn’t exactly go as hoped; to be precise, it failed miserably.

Cody Rhodes really went all out trying to drag Chris Park, aka “The Monster” Abyss, out of retirement. But the 51-year-old hung up his boots a while back and made it pretty clear in a recent interview that he’s not planning a comeback.

Despite Rhodes’ determination,...

Kevin Owens has been a part of sports entertainment as one of the top names in WWE. He became a part of an important generation as the Prize Fighter and became one of the biggest attractions in the history of WWE’s modern era. In doing so, Owens battled numerous competitors in his career.

Moreover, Owens has also been taking notice of the entire wrestling scene and wrestlers outside WWE. One of them is a former WWE star who is ruling the roost on the independent scene. Despite defeating Dolph Ziggler with the help of Hugh Jackman years ago, he felt the wrath of Owens, who roasted him with a reality check.

Sami Zayn is hands down one of the most influential wrestlers to ever step into the squared circle. Over the years, he’s kept fans hooked with his top-tier wrestling skills and electrifying personality. He’s also racked up quite the list of achievements, including an Nxt Championship, four WWE Intercontinental Championship reigns, and a WWE Tag Team Championship alongside Kevin Owens.

But his journey wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. He recently opened up about the major challenge he had to overcome when he first joined WWE’s main roster.

The time that the WWE Universe had been looking forward to has finally come. After a three-year hiatus, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg—a bridge between the Attitude Era and modern-day wrestling—is back in the ring.

The iconic figure came back to the WWE not just for a final lap in his decorated career, but for something much more important than that. Setting his sights on the current World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther, the Jackhammer specialist made it clear he is not going down without a fight.

Goldberg returned to the ring to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight title

What the WWE universe witnessed at the latest edition of Monday Night Raw was nothing short of extraordinary yet reminiscent of the old times. It started with the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, but the situation quickly developed into the much-anticipated arrival of Goldberg inside the ring.

Referring to the verbal...

In the brutal world of pro-wrestling, injuries are a part and parcel of the sport. No matter how much safety is practised, with those massive moonsaults, heavy landings, gravity-defying leaps, and a flurry of moves that would push one to their limits, one can never write an injury off. In such a similar and tragic development, it was Liv Morgan who found herself at the receiving end of the stick after being in a match-up with Kairi Sane.

In recent times, WWE has seen quite a few injuries impacting a handful of its heavy-hitters. One of the biggest names who had to be pulled off the shelves just ahead of WrestleMania 41, was Kevin Owens. A painful neck injury sidelined him, compelling Randy Orton to fight an unknown entity which was eventually revealed to be Joe Hendry at the last moment.

Kairi Sane was simply doing her thing when Liv Morgan...

Started 20 years back as the brainchild of Chris Jericho and Vince McMahon, WWE’s Money in the Bank is one of the most innovative and exciting events for a variety of reasons. While Money in the Bank isn’t a match for the title, it gives a wildcard entry to the winner for a shot at the championship, anytime and anywhere. For two decades, WWE has witnessed some of the best matches in the event, and this year was no different.

Especially the women’s Mitb match, which saw The Glow pick up a well-deserved victory, triumphing over some of the biggest names of the women’s division. Though fans are going crazy about Naomi winning the Mitb briefcase, they would be surprised to hear that Naomi isn’t the first black wrestler in WWE to bag the briefcase.

R-Truth has been one of the most entertaining and beloved figures in WWE history. He wasn’t the face of the company like The Rock or John Cena, but he brought something different, something special. His ability to make even the simplest moments unforgettable, his hilarious segments with legends, and his unique charisma made him a fan favorite.

So when WWE decided to let him go after two decades, it hit hard. Nobody saw it coming. Truth was still one of the most popular guys on the roster, always bringing laughs and energy wherever he went. Recently, four-time WWE champion Sheamus opened up on R-Truth and Carlito’s release in an interview with Pat McAfee.

When it comes to talking about one of the most dedicated and hardworking wrestlers of WWE, Kevin Owens’ name is out there! The wrestler has been entertaining the fans with his heelish personality, with occasional fits of being goofy. However, there’s no denying that when it comes to competing consistently at the highest quality, he will do it as if it is breathing for him.

With countless memorable matches over the years with the likes of Roman Reigns, Aj Styles, Sami Zayn, and so many more, he has proved his in-ring finesse. However, life had its way when he picked up a neck injury during one of his matches.

This was unlike his other injuries because just a couple of weeks before WrestleMania 41, he was forced to bow out from the annual PPV. However, the heartbreak doesn’t end there because he has a heartbreaking update about his neck.

In the high-octane and adrenaline-fueled drama, the wrestler takes all the credit for entertaining the fans. However, in professional wrestling, the most challenging job would perhaps be that of the announcer, who can make a drastic change to the feel of a wrestler and the live show.

Many tried to leave their mark on the microphone; they all failed in front of one name, Samantha Irvin. Though she has parted ways with WWE, her tenure in the company was legendary and praiseworthy. Every match felt like a high-stakes one, which added a layer of depth, eventually making her a beloved figure despite being an announcer.

With the WWE roster full of famed individual performers and factions, the announcer has shortlisted her favorite set of names that she would love to announce every day of the week.

The wrestling community was taken aback when R-Truth announced that, after 17 years of entertaining fans and creating hilariously iconic WWE moments, he had been released by the company. The superstar took to his social media, tweeting how he was let go by the company.

But what he was most grateful for was how every single one of them became an inseparable part of his career, and the love and support that came along with it. With the news spreading like wildfire, fellow talents from the WWE locker room have come forward, showcasing their solidarity.

But more importantly, how they are blessed to share their moments with him over the years, making them and the fans laugh, and giving them their own R-Truth moment, which they will always remember with a smile.

Ever since Logan Paul set foot in the WWE ring, he has only grown from strength to strength. Not only has the Maverick proven himself to be an asset for the Stamford-based company, but his in-ring bouts that have left the fans hooked on the edge of their seats have garnered him opportunities that other pro-wrestlers could only dream of.

While seasoned wrestlers have to work their way around the year to get a match at WrestleMania, Logan Paul made his WWE debut at the Show of Shows. He got to work with The Miz up front and was up against Rey and Dominik Mysterio in his very first match. Even though the reception of Logan Paul has been widely critiqued, in his very first bout, he saved Rey from landing on his neck.

If you happen to be a fan of the WWE product, you may have noticed that it feels different. It has a different level of excitement, realism, and intensity. The reason for this shift is due to the changes made by WWE’s new Chief Content Officer… Triple H! The King of Kings has ripped up the old school rulebook created by Vince McMahon and is now promoting a new atmosphere and form of wrestling.

He has reintroduced moves that were previously banned for years, such as the infamous piledriver, and allowed wrestlers the freedom to wrestle and be themselves. Let’s take a closer look at Triple H’s first more positive change in WWE and what it could mean for the wrestling fans.

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,...

Stone Cold Steve Austin is undeniably one of WWE’s biggest superstars; he is one of he main reasons behind transforming the company into a household name. For years, he was the face of the promotion, embodying the fearless, hard-hitting attitude that defined an era. Unlike many modern superstars, Austin was never afraid to push his limits for the company, a dedication that today’s wrestlers rarely match.

This was proved by Seth Rollins’ comments in the Biography: WWE Legends episode covering Austin’s final match. Rollins admitted in the documentary that he would never dare to do what Austin did at WrestleMania 38, coming out of retirement after 19 years to face Kevin Owens.

For the past ten years, Kevin Owens has been a dynamic and captivating performer in the WWE ring. There is no doubt that his in-ring skills are among the best in the business, irrespective of the fact that his brazen, erratic personality isn’t always well-received.

Kevin Owens was nearing a turning point in his career when a major tragedy struck. He declared that he would no longer be participating in WrestleMania 41 because of a serious injury at a time when WWE fans were excitedly awaiting a high-stakes, intense match between Randy Orton and Owens.

Just thinking about The Shield, i.e., Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose, as a WWE fan gives me goosebumps, for they were an absolute force. Their black tactical vests, their theme music, the brotherhood, and then they made history. But in 2014, Seth Rollins betrayed his brothers, splitting The Shield, and it made all the fans sick.

Later, Roman Reigns said he didn’t want them to break up either. He was young, still figuring out his place, and telling the big boss Vince McMahon no wasn’t an option. So he went on with the decision, and that was the start of his life changing forever.

Cody Rhodes impressed the WWE Universe with his performance at WrestleMania 41, even though he lost the Universal Title to John Cena. The ferocity with which he competed against him inside the ring is proof enough that he will have a shot at the title and win it sooner or later.

But for Cody Rhodes, it has always been about much more than just his in-ring abilities. It’s the whole package, his wrestling prowess and the aesthetic appearance he brings along with him.

WrestleMania 41 was no exception, as the American Nightmare made an appearance in front of the WWE Universe sporting an amazing face mask and designer bodysuit. Even though it improved the former champion’s appearance, he had some very intriguing and divergent opinions about it.

Randy Orton has long been an iconic presence in WWE, earning his place among the industry’s elite. At Backlash 2025, fans were treated to a vintage performance from The Apex Predator as he headlined the main event against none other than 17-time world champion John Cena.

Although Orton dominated much of the match, he ultimately fell short of victory because the chaos inside the ring disrupted the flow and cost him a potential win. While the former world champion’s future remains uncertain, speculation is growing about a possible alliance with Cody Rhodes.

Ever since John Cena aligned himself with The Rock at Survivor Series, he has undergone a dramatic transformation, becoming a very different version of the superstar fans once knew.

Randy Orton is undoubtedly one of the greatest wrestlers ever. He has defeated top superstars and earned impressive achievements. He can play any role, but he shines the most as a villain. Over the years, his best performances have been as a heel, especially in his rivalry with John Cena, who was the babyface.

However, at Backlash 2025, the roles have switched—this time, Orton will be the hero, while Cena takes on the villain role. The Viper recently said that even though the event is happening in his hometown, he isn’t sure if the fans will cheer for him, since this is his first time playing a baby face.

Randy Orton is one of WWE’s biggest stars. Over the years, he has won many championships and been part of some of the greatest rivalries, including his long-running feud with John Cena, which is finally coming to an end at this year’s Backlash.

Orton has become more than just a wrestler—he’s a part of fans’ childhoods and lives. His style, entrance music, signature move (the Rko), and “Legend Killer” persona have all become iconic. Fans can’t get enough of him. But here’s something interesting—his father and grandfather played a huge role in getting him into WWE. Without them, we might never have seen “The Viper” in action.

Kevin Owens has always been one of WWE’s most intriguing figures, a fierce, no-nonsense competitor inside the ring, known for his punishing offense and relentless aggression. Yet outside the ropes, the real-life persona of the Canadian superstar stands in stark contrast. Candid, witty, and often self-deprecating, Owens brings a refreshing authenticity that sets him apart in the world of sports entertainment.

This duality was on full display recently when Owens took a sharp, humorous jab at his in-ring rival, Seth Rollins, and his newly formed alliance with Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman. While the trio continues to assert dominance with calculated ruthlessness, Owens, never one to stay silent, chose to mock their alliance in his unique way, blending sarcasm with truth in a way only he can.

Kevin Owens takes a jibe at the way Seth Rollins and his associates have presented themselves Kevin Owens with Seth Rollins inside the WWE ring.

In a spectrum of unscripted moments to hardcore rivalries, wrestling has literally been a battlefield. The statement couldn’t be truer for WrestleMania, which is the biggest wrestling event in the world and is always called by the fans the ‘Showcase of the Immortals.’ The annual wrestling event, which has been running for almost four decades, is famous for enduring the most thrilling action, incredible and unthinkable things of the night, as well as exhausting the crowd’s adrenaline.

A stage for the greatest of greats, WrestleMania has also had its fair share of misses. Many ‘superstars’ tend to walk into the squared circle ready to cement their legacies, with fans and wrestling lovers expecting them to deliver another breathtaking win. However, as history has often shown, even the grandest of wrestlers end up with the worst of defeats, making the greatest of wrestling stages home to some of the...

Sami Zayn is the ultimate underdog of the WWE. The fans will always root for Sami whenever the chips are down. His position in the WWE roster is secure, yet I hate what is being done to him. Zayn getting written off again, possibly after returning a week back, is just shoddy treatment by Triple H. Zayn needs to be one of the faces opposing this new faction.

Instead, his fans are seeing him get a beatdown so that he doesn’t appear on screen again for a few weeks. Zayn should be the heart and soul of WWE, but for a few months, we have only been seeing him laid out. Kevin Owens destroyed him in the Unannounced match at Elimination Chamber: Toronto, and then this new alliance beat him down this week.

Why did Seth Rollins and Co. attack Sami Zayn?

How did I and some fans come to this conclusion?...

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.

Chris Jericho gave a good receipt back to Shane McMahon

In the classic 5-on-5 brand-against-brand elimination battle at Survivor Series 2016, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens served as Team Raw’s co-captains. McMahon was a member of the SmackDown squad that won in the end.

Sami Zayn was told by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker to leave Raw if he didn’t want to get beaten up. But instead of backing down, Zayn stood his ground and even challenged Breakker to a match. He refused to be intimidated, even though the odds were against him.

However, a former WWE writer, Vince Russo, has claimed this is a pointless and old tactic of WWE, but the storyline is still going to be a success. Every WWE fan loves seeing a courageous baby face rise up against overwhelming odds and take down the heels.

Triple H has been handling WWE’s creative since 2022. He was handed the position following Vince McMahon’s ‘retirement’. His wife, Stephanie McMahon, was also made the CEO, but she quit after Vince forced his return as the chairman of the company. The sudden resignation fueled speculation about a rift between Vince McMahon and his daughter/son-in-law.

There have been murmurs for quite a while, but this move by his daughter put Vince’s relationship with his children into question. Thus, if Triple H ever gets removed, don’t expect him or Stephanie to return to Vince McMahon for any support. Former WWE head writer Vince Russo also echoed this sentiment.

In their podcast, ‘The Coach and Bro Show‘, former interim General Manager of Raw and Russo discussed Triple H’s future with the WWE. They claimed that the...

Goldberg was one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step into the ring. He made a huge impact on WWE and became a worldwide star thanks to his fighting style and magnetic personality.

Goldberg might have left WWE decades ago, but he can come back to the promotion for one last bout. While some fans are thrilled about his comeback, many hardcore fans are frustrated with WWE’s repetitive approach of bringing him back for short appearances.

Why Goldberg’s final WWE match will be a waste of time Goldberg at a WWE event | Credits- WWE

Over the years, Goldberg has made several comebacks to WWE, wrestled briefly, and then returned to WCW. These repetitive short appearances have become dull, and the excitement around his retirement match has faded.

He made a comeback to WWE at Survivor Series in 2016. He surprised everyone by beating Brock Lesnar and bagging the Universal Championship by defeating Kevin Owens.

WrestleMania 41 had mixed bag reviews coming in after Cody Rhodes was defeated by John Cena in the main event of night 2. Not only was the match between Cena and Rhodes criticized but the overall Ple had a few mediocre moments and the fans weren’t impressed by it all. Things looked even paler when this year’s Show of Shows was being pitted against last year’s Mania, as it was a blockbuster of the highest order.

The Road to WrestleMania 41 had immense promise, especially after The Rock got involved in the very episode where John Cena turned heel. The WWE Universe believed that things were going to run their way, but much to their shock, after a couple of episodes and a handful of epic promo barbs being exchanged by Rhodes and Cena, it all dampened down. Fans believed that Vegas will be lit up but they were further disheartened.

WrestleMania 41 had its fair share of hits and misses. The lofty expectations that the fans had from the show blew into oblivion due to last-minute changes and more or less because of a week’s main event on the second night of the Las Vegas Mania. The first night was just average apart from the opening encounter between Jey Uso and Gunther and an epic conclusion with Seth Rollins emerging triumphant over Roman Reigns and Cm Punk.

The second night at WrestleMania 41 saw a flurry of impeccable battles, only for the night to close with a dampener. One of the crucial matches on day 2 could have been that between Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, two hardcore pro-wrestlers who could have actually brought down the roof upon the arena. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, there were necessary last-minute tweaks that somewhat dampened the soaring spirits in Las Vegas.

Who could...

Things looked bleak for Randy Orton even a night prior to WrestleMania as what could have been a dream tale of two hard-hitting foes in the form of Kevin Owens and The Viper had to be called off. Kevin Owens’ neck injury cost Orton dearly as he didn’t know if he might have an opponent at Mania or not. Despite a feud with Solo Sikoa ahead of Mania, WWE didn’t have enough gas in their tanks to make the rivalry happen.

It was eventually the second night of WrestleMania 41 that Randy Orton got his opponent, Joe Hendry. The Tna World Champion did put up a phenomenal fight, but the legend killer, despite the obstacles along the way, came out victorious, building a serious head of steam ahead of what he was about to pull off on the episode of Raw after Mania.

How did John Cena ruin Randy...

Welcome to this review of night two of WWE’s Wrestlemania 41 pay-per-view, which was broadcast live from Las Vegas, Nevada. Let’s see what went down on Sunday’s show…

Match #1: WWE Women’s Championship Triple Threat Match – Iyo Sky def. Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

WWE Women’s Champion Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley collided in an instant classic Triple Threat Match at a warm Allegiant Stadium. Ripley and Belair seemed to work together to remove Sky from the equation at the start. Ripley, Sky and Belair took each other to the limit, performing jaw-dropping moves that left the ring looking like a car crash. The Est nailed a 450 splash on Sky, only for The Eradicator to hit the Riptide on Belair, who kicked out. Sky countered an Avalanche Riptide, but she was caught with a boot from Ripley...

Have you ever met someone who just clicks with everybody? Not in the “hey-let’s-date” kind of way—but in the “I-got-your-back-forever” sense? That’s Cathy Kelley for you. Since her WWE debut in 2016, she has been more than just a backstage presence—she has been the unofficial glue backstage, the ‘work wife’ of the locker room, pun fully intended.

Earlier this year, Kelley let the cat out of the bag—well, more like she giggled it out—jokingly calling herself Maxxine Dupri’s “husband” before confirming she’s single in real life. No mystery man waiting at home. That’s why, in her own words, she ends up being “everyone’s significant other” at work.

Cathy Kelley isn’t just another pretty face asking questions as an American journalist & television host.

Vince McMahon didn’t like competition, and he absolutely hated promotions like Total Nonstop Action wrestling (Tna), which directly competed with WWE. With McMahon out of the picture, the new leadership under Triple H is trying to build connections with other promotions in an attempt to expand their influence. We saw the WWE-Aaa deal go down at WrestleMania 41.

On Night Two, Triple H joined forces with Tna when he brought his competitor’s biggest star for a match against Randy Orton. Tna World Champion Joe Hendry accepted Orton’s open challenge and entered the ring at Las Vegas for a match against him. His entrance was teased by WWE before the match, and fans were genuinely surprised at seeing Hendry on WWE’s big night.

Wrestling has always been larger than life, both in action and in size! As WrestleMania 41 draws near, the excitement is through the roof. This year, WWE’s grandest stage returns to Las Vegas, Nevada, marking its first trip to “Sin City” in over 30 years. Fans are in for a thrilling ride as their favorite superstars prepare to put on unforgettable performances.

For years, towering figures like The Undertaker and Big Show dominated the ring. But times have changed. Today, it’s not just about size—superstars like Cm Punk and Daniel Bryan have proven that skill, agility, and determination can break barriers. That said, being tall still has its perks, and the WWE roster continues to showcase some massive superstars.

In today’s wrestling world, there’s room for everyone, from high-flying underdogs to towering powerhouses. While technical skills and high-impact moves win matches, sheer size and strength can be game-changers.

The lights of Las Vegas are burning brighter than ever as the grandest spectacle in all of sports entertainment takes over Allegiant Stadium—WrestleMania 41 has arrived. Over two electrifying nights, April 19 and 20, the WWE Universe will bear witness to the event. On Night 2, there is a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match, an Intercontinental Championship match, a high-stakes Triple Threat for the Women’s World Championship, and some other matches featuring big names.

Then there is the main event of the Undisputed Championship match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. However, WrestleMania has always been known for shocking returns and appearances, and WWE would like to continue the tradition this year as well. Rumors are spreading about potential returns of some legends, and possibilities are endless. It’s Vegas, so expect the unexpected. Let’s take a look at five WWE Superstars who might just show up and steal...

Randy Orton has been wrestling for over two decades and has seen changes taking place in WWE since his debut in 2002. The world was different 23 years ago, and the same applied to the WWE. The old school legends were still going through their peaks, and the locker room culture reflected their mindset. Randy Orton, being the son of a legend, didn’t have to face the brunt of that locker room.

Orton will say that he, too, contributed to that culture by being a young brash kid. But now, things are different. The newer superstars do not believe in the old school mindset and have a better way to spend their time. With Triple H now in charge, things have become way different.

Randy Orton loves the locker room atmosphere today

Rhea Ripley made her first appearance in the WWE at Mae Young Classic 2017. However, it was just a taste of what awaited her. Ripley made headlines when she and her Nxt Women’s team defeated Team Raw and Team SmackDown in 2019 at Survivor Series.

Then came the year 2020, and everything changed for Ripley. She was featured in WrestleMania 36 and has been a part of this event every year, making her mark. It is a bit unusual for an Nxt wrestler to secure a continuous WrestleMania appearance without a good duration spent in the WWE.

Rhea Ripley Continues Her WrestleMania Streak

Her performance has played a major role, and her strength makes her a perfect superstar for events like WrestleMania. At WrestleMania 41, she will face Iyo Sky, the WWE women’s champion, and Bianca Belair in a triple-threat title match. She will now hold a streak of 6 consecutive appearances in WrestleMania.

John Cena’s farewell tour is in full swing, and the 16-time world champion is gearing up for one last WrestleMania main event before he rides off into the sunset at the end of 2025. In a shocking twist, the face of hustle, loyalty, and respect has turned heel—clashing with Cody Rhodes in a final chapter of his storied career. But no matter how explosive this run gets, nothing will ever top the thunderous legacy of his greatest rivalry: Randy Orton.

The two were in a bitter feud on the ring for more than a decade, making it one of the longest-running rivalries in the game. Starting out in WWE around the same time, Orton and Cena had similar journeys in the wrestling ring, but it deviated once Cena went into Hollywood. However, they seemed to share a friendship off-screen.

WWE star John Cena recalls crying on Randy Orton’s...

Ahead of WrestleMania 41, WWE star Randy Orton suddenly began making headlines for his romantic timeline and marriages. People seem particularly interested in his relationship with his first wife, Samantha Speno. But who is Speno, and how long did the duo live together?

Let’s dive right into Randy Orton and Samantha Speno’s relationship and marriage, and check out how the latter built an empire from scratch. While Speno is popularly known as the WWE star’s first wife (before Kim Orton), there’s more to her story than her marriage. After all, the 43-year-old went from being a small-town girl to a successful businesswoman in no time.

WrestleMania isn’t just a wrestling show—it’s the Super Bowl, the Oscars, and Christmas morning rolled into one for WWE fans. Every year, the lights shine brighter, the entrances are grander, and the stakes are sky-high. Superstars dream of that big WrestleMania moment, and WWE usually saves its most dramatic storytelling and wildest matches for the big night.

Over the last 15 years, we’ve seen plenty of jaw-dropping showdowns—but let’s be real, not all of them have lived up to the hype. And while Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes had the spotlight recently, it still doesn’t crack the top three. Here are three matches from the last 15 years that did it better, whether through raw emotion, boundary-pushing creativity, or pure historic impact.

WrestleMania 41 is just around the corner, and the entire combat sports fandom is drooling over it. The stakes are higher than ever as an evil John Cena will lock horns with Cody Rhodes, and Cm Punk will be main-eventing in a WrestleMania for the first time in his career in a triple-threat match, which will also feature friends turned enemies, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Jey Uso, Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, LA Knight, and Bron Brekker are some of the other WWE stars competing at The Showcase of Immortals.

Walkout songs are as iconic as the wrestlers themselves, and it is a big part of the experience. Before the biggest WWE event of the year unfolds, let us take a peek into what entrance songs the stars participating in the event will use.

With less than one SmackDown away from WrestleMania 41 and the match-card gleaming with intensity, fans cannot simply wait for the show to hit the road. However, amidst all the excitement, if there is one superstar who still awaits an opponent at The Showcase of Immortals, it is Randy Orton. The Apex Predator has been inexorable since his return to the ring, but now he faces an ordeal of immense proportions.

Orton continues to deliver high-quality wrestling day in day out, laced with high-octane promos putting the youngsters to the test. He was all set to duke it out with Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 41 to put an old rivalry to the test. This was hyped to be a hard-hitting contest considering the two hardcore legends who were going to be a part of it.

Kevin Owens had one of the most compelling years in WWE. The Prize Fighter unleashed the most vicious and devastating side of himself that the fans had not seen in a long time. However, that came with a huge price that Owens now has to pay.

From diving off ladders to making shattering moves on the mat and foreign objects, Owens puts his body on the line for fans every week. The injuries sustained from every one of those encounters finally piled up on him. He came to WWE SmackDown last week and announced that he would need neck surgery.

The Prize Fighter went under the knife recently and had a successful surgery. However, this also means that Owens would not be able to ever battle his former nemesis, John Cena, in a WWE ring.

Why would Kevin Owens never be able to wrestle John Cena again?...

The rivalry between Kevin Owens and Randy has been going on for some time now. The two WWE superstars have been at odds with each other almost throughout the extent of their careers. However, the recent saga of events between Orton and Owens added a new chapter in the in-ring hatred between them.

The latest feud between them started when Orton sided with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel and made the rivalry with Kevin Owens evident. Ko sought vengeance from the Apex Predator and gave him a near career-ending injury. However, upon his return, Orton delivered a threatening final message to Owens.

During the November 8, 2024 edition of Smackdown, Kevin Owens arrived into the ring on Randy Orton‘s call. Shrouded by the crew all around,...

Randy Orton has never shied away from the big stage — it’s where he thrives, where legends are made. WrestleMania 41 was lining up to be another chapter in his storied career, with Kevin Owens standing across the ring, ready for war. But then, everything changed. A neck injury took Owens out of the picture, and just like that, Orton’s carefully laid path was shaken. No opponent. No certainty. Just “The Viper”, waiting for what comes next.

Triple H must be brainstorming alternative ideas right after receiving the injury update. Having Randy Orton appear at WrestleMania would electrify the crowd, and the Head of Creative certainly wouldn’t want to miss that opportunity.

John Cena and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson are two of the most famous celebrities when it comes to the world of wrestling. Apart from their feats in the ring, the duo is known for their impressive promos and banter.

A meme featuring both WWE champs speaking Chinese or at least pretending to speak Chinese has been circulating on the internet for a while. If you haven’t gotten around to seeing it or have seen it but don’t know how it came about, read on to learn more!

John Cena went viral a couple of years ago when he revealed that he had learnt Mandarin. Learning the Asian language was a move to spread WWE’s growth and influence in China, and what could be better than WWE’s poster boy knowing the language?...

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.
