Roman Reigns didn’t consider Cm Punk as a bigger star than John Cena or Dwayne Johnson. The two sure seemed to have issues between them before they joined forces in the Survivor Series last year. Reigns first appeared as part of The Shield at the Survivor Series 2012, where it was revealed that Punk hired the Shield trio to help him win the WWE Championship.

Punk later revealed that The Shield was his idea but Reigns at the top of it was something Vince McMahon suggested. Punk shared that he was asked to make Reigns look stronger, which earned the latter a significant amount of hatred from fans. It was probably the beginning of their unpleasant feud over the years.

Roman Reigns shared that Cm Punk’s stardom was nothing compared to John Cena or...

A new partnership. A new stadium. A new WWE Women's World Champion.

The start of the WWE's “Netflix Era,” as Paul “Triple H” Levesque dubbed it, had an appetizer sampler of everything fans could want: pro wrestling legends The Rock and John Cena, a championship belt up for grabs between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley, and a clash of bitter rivals Seth Rollins and Cm Punk. It all went down in front of an audience of 17,000 that included stars like Vanessa Hudgens and Macaulay Culkin. Among the millions (and millions) watching live at home were WWE’s Director of Character Development, Rob Fee, and one of 2024’s most dominant superstars, Bronson Reed, who both spoke with Tudum moments after Jan 6.’s Raw concluded.

Reed, who missed Raw due to an injury suffered in late November, is thrilled to witness the start of this new era, but disappointed not to...

2024 was a gift to wrestling fans for many members of the WWE Universe. It was effectively the year in which the company and its product worked its way back into the mainstream, thanks in large part to a monumental Netflix deal and the return of Hollywood superstar, The Rock. The year offered some incredible moments for WWE spectators, but it also offered some incredible matches.

The year of 2024 gave audiences too many matches to choose from in the Match of the Year department, many of which just barely missed the cut. Liv Morgan vs. Iyo Sky, WarGames, Nxt's Iron Survivor, Friday Night SmackDown's Triple Threat Ladder Match, Ludwig Kaiser vs. Sheamus vs. Bron Breakker, and Randy Orton's match with Gunther in Berlin are all examples of honorable mentions. However, the matches that did happen to leave an imprint in the minds of the WWE Universe are ones that are truly must-see.

SmackDown delivered one of the best segments of WWE TV this year, as Paul Heyman and Cm Punk both returned. Punk will be the fifth man at Survivor Series, teaming with Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, and The Usos to take on Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. It was a night filled with excitement, that also saw Jade Cargill put through a car windscreen by a mystery assailant, with Chelsea Green capitalizing on Bianca Belair rushing to her partner's aid, by pinning Bianca Davenport and going to the next round of the Women US title tournament.

Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens came face-to-face in an unmissable verbal battle, as their feud continued to escalate. DIY members Tommaso Ciampa and Jonny Gargano drifted further apart, the former being pinned by Montez Ford, as the Street Profits looked set to be the new contenders for the Motor City Machine Guns Tag Team Championships. LA...

The most recent developments in the WWEs Bloodline storyline have fans wondering what Bronson Reeds heritage is. Since the Roman Reigns iteration of the group, members have been exclusively Samoan and exclusively related to the Anoai family tree. Except for Sami Zayn, but obviously, hes an Honorary Uce. Other than that, even Solo Sikoa's iteration of the Bloodline hasn't strayed too much away from the formula, including the two Tongans, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa, who are still of Pacific Islander heritage.

Bronson Reed presents an interesting wrinkle in WWEs nearly Samoan-exclusive faction. This past week, he joined Solo Sikoas Bloodline as their fifth man for Survivor Series: WarGames. Its led to some wondering and even debating if Bronson is Samoan or a Pacific Islander and if not, should that should exclude him from officially being in the group.

WWEs Bronson Reed Is Samoan Bronson Reed Fits Right In...

It's safe to say that Bronson Reed has officially established himself as the most vicious monster on WWE's roster. After spending more than a decade in the indies, Bronson Reed signed with Nxt, WWE's developmental brand. Even after a brief year-long release, Reed was building a steady rise to the top for himself. Then, the company suddenly started elevating him astronomically into the main event picture in more recent months.

One of the reasons behind Reed's newfound popularity is his finishing move, the Tsunami, which sees him splashing down all 330 lbs onto his opponents off the top rope. A series of devastating Tsunami that put Seth Rollins out of action was what truly put Reed on the map in the main roster, and from that point onwards, the Australian monster has been a presence that can't be ignored on Monday Night Raw.

While this is not the first time...

Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s show!

Match #1: Rey Mysterio & Zelina Vega def. Chad Gable & Ivy Nile The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

After Zelina Vega took down Ivy Nile outside the ring, Rey Mysterio countered Chad Gable’s German suplex to throw him into position for a 619/tadpole splash combination for the win. When The Creed Brothers emerged to help him up after the bell, Master Gable responded aggressively by shoving his cohorts, leading to a shouting match between the embattled faction.

Monday Night Raw saw WWE take another leap towards Survivor Series with a second show taped at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The five-on-five match for the Women's WarGames match was confirmed as Rhea Ripley made a shocking return to action after an injury was expected to keep her off TV for the rest of the year. The Wyatt Sicks and The Final Testament both had video messages for one another, and The Judgment Day's woes continued with another loss to the War Raiders.

Ludwig Kaiser caused a double Dq by attacking Sheamus and Bron Breakker in their Intercontinental Championship match, as Damian Priest again got the upper hand on Gunther. Lwo defeated American Made in a mixed-gender tag match, and Bronson Reed pinned Seth Rollins after a distraction from Solo Sikoa to keep his hot streak burning bright.

Winners Big Bronson Reed It Is The Monster's...

SmackDown had a major reveal on the road to WWE Survivor Series, as Bronson Reed has joined The Bloodline for their upcoming WarGames match against the Og Bloodline. After The Usos and Sami Zayn have spent this week's Raw and SmackDown trying unsuccessfully to find a fifth member of their team, the big reveal came in a thrilling brawl, with Roman being the latest victim of Reed's Tsunami. An emotional Roman Reigns tried to call Paul Heyman for advice for the first time since returning but his number is no longer in service.

Bayley advanced in the Women's US Championship tournament, and Nia Jax retained her Women's Championship in a fiery main event against Naomi. The Tag Team Championship match between Motor City Machine Guns and Street Profits was interrupted by a rampaging Tommaso Ciampa, and Shinsuke Nakamura returned by laying out LA Knight. Finally, Cody Rhodes will come face-to-face...

Monday Night Raw rolled through Grand Rapid, Mi, for a superb night of action from one of the best shows delivered by WWE's red brand recently. Gunther vs Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship will happen at Survivor Series 2024, with Gunther spending the night worried about Priest who defeated his compatriot, Ludwig Kaiser. Dakota Kai returned to Damage Ctrl who then won a trios match against Pure Fusion Collective, and Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill successfully defended their tag team championships against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez in a match that saw many SmackDown women invading. Bron Breakker and Sheamus had a verbal exchange that has led to an Intercontinental title match on next week's Raw.

Seth Rollins was the focal point of the evening, brawling with Bronson Reed and delivering a world-class promo to turn down Sami Zayn's offer of a truce with Roman Reigns. Later,...

2024 has been an incredible year for professional wrestling, especially in the landscape of the WWE. Thanks to an announcement about a Netflix deal, a truly electrifying (and often hilarious) Rock return, and a scattered international presence, many wrestling fans will admit that WWE is great again. Most importantly, it's the matches which keep bringing fans back for more.

It's no secret that the actual in-ring wrestling comes secondary to storytelling, specifically in the sports entertainment environment of the WWE. The most important part of wrestling isn't always wrestling. Usually, it's the promos in WWE, or soap opera-esque storytelling on display. However, 2024 is a rare year where the wrestling has been just as compelling as the stories across the roster. Thankfully, WWE has been gracious enough to upload many of the year's best matches for free on YouTube.

Braun Strowman vs. Bronson Reed - Last Monster Standing Monday Night Raw, September...

Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s show!

Match #1: Women’s No. 1 Contender Battle Royal – Winner: Iyo Sky The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

An historic Women’s Battle Royal in Saudi Arabia came down to Lyra Valkyria, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill and Iyo Sky. After Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez pulled Belair and Cargill out of the ring to the floor to cause a double elimination, the irate WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions chased them into the crowd. Then in a final battle on the apron, Sky hit a beautiful German suplex to finally eliminate Valkyria and earn the right to challenge Morgan for the Women’s World Title.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: The War Raiders def. The New Day The following is courtesy of wwe.

WWE remained in Saudi Arabia after Crown Jewel 2024 for a pre-taped edition of Monday Night Raw, where Damian Priest emerged as Gunther's next opponent for the World Heavyweight Championship. He did so by winning a Fatal Four Way against Sheamus, Dominik Mysterio, and Seth Rollins, who was taken out of commission by Bronson Reed giving him a Tsunami through a table. Dragon Lee defeated Chad Gable to pour more misery on American Made after Ivy Nile distracted her teammate by fighting Zelina Vega, and the War Raiders continued their winning streak with a victory over The New Day, as Kofi and Xavier Woods' problems continued.

Liv Morgan continued her hot streak by eliminating Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill from a Number One Contender's Battle Royal for her championship, with Iyo Sky becoming the new challenger for the Women's World Championship. The Wyatt Sicks released disturbing footage of a kidnapped Miz,...

WWE debuted the Crown Jewel Championships for the first time in Saudi Arabia, as the Men's and Women's World Champions from Raw and Smackdown met in Champion vs Champion bouts. Crown Jewel saw Cody Rhodes defeat Gunther in a superb main event, using an inventive pinfall counter to Gunther's deep sleeper hold, while Liv Morgan defeated Nia Jax after interference from Raquel Rodriguez and another failed Mitb cash-in from Tiffany Stratton. They will go down in history as the first-ever Crown Jewel Champions.

All other champions also retained their titles. Jade Cagill and Bianca Belair retained their championships in a Fatal Four Way and LA Knight defeated Carmelo Hayes and Andrade to keep his US Championship. Seth Rollins defeated a bloodied Bronson Reed, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens's match didn't even manage to start because of the explosion of violence from Ko, and Solo Sikoa pinned Roman Reigns to...

This week's WWE Raw from Philadelphia, Pa, saw a new champion crowned in an explosive main event for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Bron Breakker recaptured his title by beating Jey Uso with a thunderous spear, after kicking out of the Uso Splash. The now-former champion had just been attacked by The Bloodline at ringside with Jacob Fatu superkicking Jey, returning fire after Uso threatened to knock him out on SmackDown. It was a blistering end to the night's action with enormous consequences for everyone.

Elsewhere, Damage Ctrl vs Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez's match was again interrupted by Nxt's Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee and The New Day made it through to meet The War Raiders in next week's number one contender's match for the Tag team Championship, The Wyatt Sicks are coming for The FInal Testament and Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed brawled...

WWE Monday Night Raw will be just two hours between now and the company's debut on Netflix in January. The night in St. Louis, Missouri, started in explosive fashion when Cm Punk announced he needs time off after Saturday's Hell In A Cell, only to be interrupted by Seth Rollins wishing him a speedy recovery so he can meet him in the ring and retire the Second City Saint for good. Rollins also mentioned his unfinished business with Bronson Reed, offering him a match as his soonest convenience, before Jey Uso successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship against Xavier Woods.

Bron Breakker decided against turning face after all, attacking Jey Uso and The New Day at the end of the Ic title match. Following on from last week's incident, The Miz challenged R-Truth to a match on next week's Raw, and WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was in the house to watch Gunther defeat Sami Zayn,...

The last 3-hour WWE Monday Night Raw of 2024 took place in Evansville, Indiana. It's a big week on Raw and the go-home show for Bad Blood featured Cm Punk and Drew McIntyre involved in verbal combat inside Hell In A Cell, while Braun Strowman won the Last Monster Standing match thanks to Seth Rollins returning to attack Bronson Reed. Gunther will finally face Sami Zayn for the World Heavyweight Championship on next week's Raw, finally giving into Sami's requests.

Speaking of Champions, new Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso was congratulated sincerely by Bron Breakker as part of a face turn and R-Truth returned, only for The Miz to turn on him and leave him beaten in the ring. Zoey Stark defeated Lyra Valkyria and The Judgment Day overcame the Lwo before laying another beatdown on Damian Priest. It was also a big week for Xavier Woods, who defeated Rey Mysterio after pulling his mask off,...

Two of WWE‘s biggest behemoths went to war on Monday Night Raw on September 30 in a hard-hitting clash that ended with the entire ring collapsing. The “Last Monster Standing Match” saw Braun Strowman taking on Bronson Reed in the main event of WWE’s flagship show. Reed and Strowman have been feuding over the past month, with the violence continuing to escalate between the two week after week. Toward the end of Monday’s match, Reed and Strowman ascended to the top rope, where Reed grabbed his opponent and superplexed him from up high to the canvas below. On impact, the ring imploded, with two of the corner posts collapsing inwards. “The ring just collapsed, the ring just collapsed,” commentator Joe Tessitore yelled as the fans in attendance went wild. “The ropes are gone, the ring has gone, and both men are laid out!” The Ring Just Collapsed! Bodies Are Everywhere!

This week's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw was headlined by one of the most feelgood moments of the year. Jey Uso defeated Bron Breakker to win the Intercontinental Championship in the night's Main Event to win his first singles title. Sami Zayn beat Ludwig Kaiser but was still denied a shot at Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship by the champion himself, and Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan's match at Bad Blood will now feature Dominik Mysterio suspended above the ring in a shark cage because wrestling is amazing.

Damage Ctrl continued their winning run with a victory over The Unholy Union and continued putting the heat on Women's Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair. Friction continued to eat away at The New Day as Xavier Woods snapped at Rey Mysterio and the Lwo, Drew McIntyre had some violent words for Cm Punk and, stealing the show, Bronson Reed...

Monday Night Raw was on incredible form as the WWE took to Portland, Or, to continue the road to Bad Blood. Cm Punk opened the show with an intimidating promo aimed at an absent Drew McIntyre, Pete Dunne would score an enormous win over Sheamus, and tension has reached an all-time high in The New Day with a break-up seeming imminent.

Jey Uso and Bron Breakker will headline next week's Raw and hyped their Intercontinental Title match with an incredible confrontation. Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman tore each other and the building apart (literally), Damien Priest would beat Dominic Mysterio in the night's Main Event, but The Judgment Day would then make Priest and his Terror Twin, Rhea Ripley, pay with an epic beatdown to close the show.

Winners Jey Uso and Bron Breakker Two fan favorites make Portland go crazy

The Portland crowd proved to be a red-hot audience all night long,...

WWE is on the road to the upcoming Bad Blood Ple on October 5th and this week's episode of Monday Night Raw came from Calgary, Ab in Canada, the home of Bret 'The Hitman' Hart. A few weeks after the 30th anniversary of his historic Summerslam Cage Match against his brother Owen, Bret would make his first WWE appearance since being seen at Clash At The Castle in 2022, being verbally assaulted by Gunther before Sami Zayn saved the day.

Elsewhere, it was announced that Cm Punk vs Drew McIntyre part 3 will happen inside Hell In A Cell and Finn Balor had a night to remember, putting Damien Priest in hospital ahead of their match at Bad Blood. Jey Uso became the Number One Contender for the Intercontinental Championship, and Bronson Reed returned to flatten Braun Strowman.

Finn Balor was excellent for...

Dirty Dominik Mysterio shines in the spotlight, pinning his own father in a heated match. Main Event Jey Uso secures his spot in the hunt for the Intercontinental Championship. Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman deliver a jaw-dropping, unforgettable moment on Raw.

The final Monday Night Raw before WWE's Bash In Berlin Ple included the in-ring debut of The Wyatt Sicks' leader Uncle Howdy, a series of wins for Dirty Dominik Mysterio, and Zelina Vega returning to wreak havoc on Pure Fusion Collective. Jey Uso and Pete Dunne booked their place in the Fatal Four Way to determine the next contender for the Intercontinental Championship, and Randy Orton cut an impassioned promo ahead of his World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther.

The moment of the night undoubtedly came from Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman, the former putting the latter through the roof of a car with his devastating finishing maneuver. It...

Unfortunately for LeRae and Hartwell, a Storm was coming. Belair tagged in Cargill, and her unbelievable strength and athleticism more than evened the odds.

Crowing a King, and more recently a Queen, had been a staple of the WWE, with some of the most famous moments in the company's history coming during the event.
