The 2025 Elimination Chamber is perhaps the most important PPV before WrestleMania that finally settled who Cody Rhodes is going to face at WrestleMania 41. However, drama unfolded before the March pay-per-view as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson returned during a SmackDown segment and presented a lucrative offer to the current WWE Undisputed Champion.

The proposition was simple: become The Rock’s champion, and Rhodes would have a legacy so great that it would etch his name forever in the history of sports entertainment. The offer put the Champ in a dilemma, and he would give his answer at the end of the exclusive event.

The crowd at Rogers Centre awaited Rhodes’ answer, who sided with them, leading to an explicit moment, which created an uproar in the WWE Univers. However, this scene rubbed the wrong way on a WWE veteran, making him call out...

WWE’s women’s division has always been criticized, and a significant percentage of wrestling enthusiasts feel that women’s wrestling is not as entertaining as men’s. Much of this can be agreed upon, as World Wrestling Entertainment is on The Road to WrestleMania 41, with several storylines that fans are heavily invested in.

At the same time, when we look at the women’s section, things seem to lack the same build-up and big moments that will make fans look forward to their match. Thus, making fans hold a steadfast belief that women’s wrestling can never catch up to the fraction of greatness that the men’s division has achieved in the last decade.

However, Ted Dibiase does not agree with the stans, stating how the female wrestlers of today are staging performances that redeem the division and are giving hope for a brighter future.

The Ruthless Aggression Era marked the debut of WWE greats like John Cena, Randy Orton, Batista, and more, who rose to the occasion and elevated the status of WWE, turning it into a global powerhouse. The period was not limited to debuts only because it featured some memorable feuds that left a lasting impression in the minds of the fans. One such feud was between Matt Hardy and Edge.

However, this feud was not limited until the cameras rolled. The beef was personal and perhaps the most uncomfortable of all time. After all, it featured a love triangle between Hardy, The Rated R Superstar, and Lita. Their saga featured the most vicious of quarrels and comments that are forever engrained in the minds of wrestling fans.

In the WWE, there are a number of honors that indicate a wrestler’s stardom and talent. These recognitions range from being the face of the company to getting numerous title opportunities; the benefits are immense. However, there is one achievement in the professional wrestling company that is greater than all the accomplishments of the world—being a Paul Heyman guy.

One of the greatest visionaries of sports entertainment, Heyman’s creative brilliance, unmatched promotional skills, and keen eye for scouting the ‘next big thing’ has made him a renowned figure. Over the years, he has managed stars like The Big Show, Cm Punk, Roman Reigns, and Brock Lesnar, the most popular of them all.

With Reigns at the top of the mountain, the segments have hinted how The Wiseman is on the lookout for the next big thing. Though rumors claim the...

LA Knight has been doing quite a few rounds, transcending himself to the upper part of the mid card. Transitioning all the way from Eli Drake, Knight has proven to the world that he is capable of dishing out important matches if needed.

Even though his WWE debut came as a model manager when he was introduced as Max Dupri, his natural charisma soon saw big matches coming his way. It was the promo skills of LA Knight that proved to be the pivot of his career as he had the ability to captivate the audiences with small catchphrases, much like one of WWE biggest stars, The Rock.

Out of the notable rivalries that he fought in WWE, he started it all with the Hollywood A-Lister, The Miz. Shortly thereafter, he was duking it out with stalwarts of the industry like Bray Wyatt and Aj Styles.

Brock Lesnar is regarded as one of the most dominant and captivating WWE superstars of all time. He has been a force to be reckoned with and has emerged as one of the biggest WWE attractions of all time, winning multiple championships and accolades in the process.

The Beast Incarnate made his debut in 2002 in WWE. He was billed as the ‘Next Big Thing’ and strike fear in the hearts of individuals who stood across the ring from him. Moreover, he was applauded for the in-ring acumen that he possessed and displayed in his younger days.

After all, Brock Lesnar was a former NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight Champion before signing with WWE. But despite coming from a strong wrestling background, Lesnar had his fair share of botches in the company. However, one of those times almost led to a top WWE star at the...

If you were to recall your younger days watching wrestling, do you remember the impact when wrestlers were called by their nicknames? It was a whole different energy when announcers used to scream fighters’ nicknames before they entered the ring. Whether it’s “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels, or “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns, these monikers often carry a deeper meaning.

These names do not just happen in a day; most of the time, it’s an acknowledgment of the wrestlers’ in-ring personality and, other times, a call out to a personal history, legacy, or a memorable moment. They become as iconic as the wrestlers when the commentators emphasize it when narrating a match or when fans chant their names. And if we are looking into iconic fighters and their names, one such notable mention would be the legend Cody Rhodes or, better yet, “The American Nightmare.

In the pro wrestling scene, John Cena has been considered the most wholesome superstar that every kid looks up to. However, he decided to forsake these ideals and turn his back on the fans, as he sides with The Rock and Travis Scott to get his much-deserved shot at winning his potential 17th WWE Championship.

The WWE Universe was startled because, on one hand, they saw their childhood hero becoming a villain. On the other hand, their adult selves were cheering with excitement as they finally got to see the much-awaited heel version of their favorite superstar.

With the fans now eagerly waiting, for the Chain Gang Soldier to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, a challenge from a WWE Hall of Famer already awaits him.

On March 1, 2025, the wrestling world was flabbergasted as...

John Cena is one of WWE’s most popular stars. He is on the Mount Rushmore of wrestlers and was their biggest merchandise seller at his peak. John Cena’s shirts used to sell like hotcakes, and his merchandise still sells out. Hence, it should not be a surprise to anyone (including Cena) that people buy anything related to him. Yet, Cena was amazed when he heard that his merch got sold out while the Rock’s wasn’t. The Rock is more popular than Cena so it is quite surprising.

John Cena sold more merch than the Rock in 2011

Yet, it should not come as a shock to any wrestling fan. John Cena’s merchandise attracted the most important demographic they were targeting then: kids. WWE used to release a different Cena shirt every six months. They used to come in various colors: Green, Purple, Red, Orange, etc.

Roman Reigns has emerged as one of the biggest WWE superstars of all time. He has taken forward the rich lineage of his ancestors, the Anoa’i family, and achieved impressive heights much like many members of his family, like Yokozuna, Rikishi, the Wild Samoans, and most notably, The Rock.

In his long and storied WWE career, Roman Reigns has competed on the biggest stages all over the world. From main-eventing WrestleMania a record ten times to winning countless championships and big matches in various countries, Reigns has accomplished it all.

However, he had humble beginnings when he started out in the business. Despite coming from one of the most known families in the wrestling world, Reigns had his fair share of bad matches. In fact, the story behind his worst match in pro wrestling is an intriguing tale to know.

What happened...

In the world of combat sports, there is one name that is among the most accomplished and dominant athletes worldwide. Whether it was mixed martial arts or professional wrestling, that superstar dominated every ring he stepped into. He is none other than The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar.

The former WWE Champion has been a part of many blockbuster feuds and matches. Moreover, Lesnar has competed against the likes of top stars like Roman Reigns, Kurt Angle, and The Undertaker on The Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania.

However, there was one particular year when Brock Lesnar did not have much interest in the feud or the match leading up to WrestleMania. Lesnar had the chance to put over a rising star in WWE, but he reportedly passed on the chance. It was against Jon Moxley, then known as Dean Ambrose, who he decided...

WWE superstars are some of the most remarkable and enthralling athletes in the world. They put their bodies on the line every week for the entertainment of the fans who come to see them. But the physical toll of years leads to them hanging up the boots someday and every superstar wants to go out in a big way.

That has been the desire of a former WCW Icon. He has been the only WWE superstar to defeat The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, in close to 3 minutes. Moreover, he still has the desire for one last match even after taking a crushing defeat at the hands of Roman Reigns. That legend is none other than Bill Goldberg.

John Cena has been the ultimate chameleon in WWE, constantly evolving while still staying true to his never-give-up attitude. Over the years, he has donned many personas, from a chain-wielding rapper to the ultimate babyface, each bringing something fresh to the ring. While he never gave fans the heel turn they so desperately wanted, Cena found ways to tweak his character and keep things interesting.

It all started with The Prototype, a robotic, futuristic gimmick that didn’t quite click. Then came the Doctor of Thuganomics: Cena’s breakout persona, where he spit freestyles, rocked oversized jerseys, and dished out ruthless aggression with an attitude. This version made him a star, but as WWE shifted to a more family-friendly product, Cena transformed into Super Cena, the invincible, kid-friendly face of the company, loved and hated in equal measure.

Over the years, he...

John Cena has always been potrayed as a larger-than-life superhero character in WWE for more than two decades. The Cenation Leader was a hero to millions and an inspiration who encouraged fans never to give up on their dreams. But he had another side to him in his personal life.

The fans got to witness Cena’s personal life and way of living when was featured on the reality TV series, Total Divas, and then Total Bellas. This came as Cena was in a relationship with the one of the members of the cast, Nikki Bella at the time.

John Cena sent shockwaves across the wrestling business when he turned heel at the 2025 WWE Elimination Chamber Ple. He launched a beatdown on Cody Rhodes and aligned himself with The Final Boss, The Rock, selling out in the process. After weeks of waiting for answers, Cena finally arrived on Raw to deliver it.

The 16-time WWE Champion came to Raw on March 17th, 2025, taking place in Brussels, Belgium. He launched a verbal barrage on the fans for treating him badly and like a puppet for the last 25 years. Every time Cena tried to give them his best, they showered hate on him. At the end of his promo, Cena claimed that he had ended his relationship with them and no longer cared about any Cenation fan.

John Cena venting out his anger is justifiable to a huge extent.

John Cena didn’t have a great year at the movies in 2024. His films like Ricky Stanicky and Jackpot! were nothing more than time-killers. However, he had a couple of interesting cameo appearances, notably in the third season of The Bear and the 36th season of The Simpsons. Hopefully, he is about to change that with his upcoming films.

We’re going to see Cena more in WWE instead of the movies this year, as he has announced his retirement from professional wrestling after 2025. However, fans will eventually get to see him in some action-packed and comedy films.

His movie slate ranges from the action-comedy film Heads of State to the long-gestating The Janson Directive. He will also reprise his DC anti-hero role in the second season of James Gunn’s Peacemaker. Cena is set to appear in the following movies next.

For years, WWE fans have debated whether John Cena would ever turn heel. The guy has been the ultimate babyface for so long that even the thought of him switching sides felt like a fever dream.

But on WWE Raw, that dream or nightmare, depending on who you ask finally became a reality. Cena unleashed a scathing promo that had everyone doing double-takes, because, well, we might have heard something very similar before.

Now, let’s get one thing straight. Cena’s heel turn was bound to be dramatic. He couldn’t just stroll into the ring, smirk at the crowd, and say, “Hey guys, I’m bad now.” Nope. He had to make it count.

And he did. The problem? The words coming out of his mouth felt eerily familiar. Like, almost word-for-word familiar. And not just from any random wrestler,...

For over 2 decades, John Cena has been a force to be reckoned with. When he is inside the ring, he pulls out random moves that he has never used before. However, he is equally dangerous, when he has a microphone on his hand. The 16-time WWE Champion is considered to be one of the greatest trash talkers of this generation, who can tear down his rivals with mere words.

As a result, many consider his promos to be a pure work of art that can sometimes get to you on a personal level. However, his promo skills lacked the same flair as before as he cooked Cody Rhodes at Forest National in Brussels, Belgium.

This promo reminded fans of the Reigns-Rhodes face-off ahead of WrestleMania 39, where the Otc cooked him so hard on the mic that got hailed as one of the greatest moments of his career.

The world of professional wrestling was slowly picking up in the early 1990s and entering the mainstream. The biggest promotion at the time was WWE (then known as WWF), and the flagship star for the global juggernaut was none other than ‘The Immortal’ Hulk Hogan.

Hulk Hogan transcended the entire scene of professional wrestling with his larger-than-life American hero persona. He was an idol to children, a household name worldwide, and one of the biggest WWE superstars of all time. However, his popularity as a babyface had begun to wane after some years of his meteoric rise.

There was a major section of fans who were bored with the same old good-guy Hulk Hogan routine. The WWE Hall of Famer witnessed the same and made a proposition to then WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon to let him turn heel. He even had an excellent idea for the same,...

The March 10 episode of Raw live on Netflix ended in stunning fashion, with Roman Reigns making his first WWE appearance since Royal Rumble. During Raw’s main event — a Steel Cage Match between Seth Rollins and Cm Punk — Reigns yanked Rollins from the ring and attacked him, spearing Punk for good measure.

Today’s Raw, streaming live from Brussels, Belgium, is shaping up to be just as wild, with some banger matches already announced, as well as an appearance by John Cena, who hasn’t been seen since he won the Elimination Chamber and aligned himself with The Rock.

Keep scrolling for more details about this episode of Raw.

Cody Rhodes and John Cena will be under one roof for the first time since Cena, The Rock, and Travis Scott viciously attacked Rhodes at Elimination Chamber.

Cody Rhodes is not playing games, this time around. He wants to know why the 16-time World Champion left him in a pile of his blood in Toronto, and the American Nightmare is flying to Europe to get answers. Some very brutal questioning is about to take place.

WWE history is filled with fights that turned serious and went off-script. One such example is when Randy Savage, also known as Macho Man, and Jake Roberts came face to face on October 21st, 1991.

Jake Roberts was never a fan of Macho Man, but things exceeded limits when, during a televised segment of WWF, Roberts unleashed a de-venomized cobra on Savage.

What actually happened in the match between Jake Roberts and the Macho Man

Roberts and Savage always shared a sour relationship. The Macho Man, on multiple occasions, was attacked by Roberts on the entrance ramp. He would make surprise appearances to ruin Savage’s matches, even threaten his wife Liz.

Things exceeded all expectations when the un-thinkable happened: Roberts released his snake on Savage, and it turned out to be one of the most bizarre fights in the history of the promotion.

John Cena’s recent heel turn has shocked the WWE Universe. It felt as if they were never ready to accept their favorite babyface as a heel. Very few characters in the history of WWE have been the good guys for such a long time. Cena possibly eclipsed all other babyface reigns, and eventually, in his farewell tour, he decided to bring out the most iconic twist of all time.

Delivering a low blow to Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber, John Cena joined forces with The Rock ahead of WrestleMania 41. Earlier, what was thought to be a straightforward battle of two of the greatest wrestlers for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41 has now turned into an iconic storyline that may have already taken flight.

With every heel turn, if there is one particular element which gets dragged into the storyline, that is the personal life of a superstar.

Even though real-life villain Vince McMahon was forced out of the WWE, and under disreputable circumstances, in January of 2024, in terms of the on-screen story, most will tell you the end of the McMahon era creatively was April 7, 2024. That was the day that Roman Reigns’s legendarily tyrannical run as Undisputed Champion came to a righteous end at Wrestlemania 40, at the hands of “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes.

It’s now been a year since the WWE has been fully under Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s stewardship, and that time has been marked by dizzying highs, terrifying lows, creamy middles, and more. And once again, 2K’s annual WWE-branded sports release is meant to encapsulate the broad spectrum of professional wrestling promotion at the moment of the game’s development cycle, which appears to target somewhere around fall of 2024.

With WWE 2K25, the spotlight is again on Roman. To the game’s credit,...

Cody Rhodes’s story has been one of the most captivating narratives in WWE history. He went from being a mid-card talent to becoming the Undisputed face of the company after returning to WWE in 2022.

However, Rhodes has been a part of WWE’s premier event, WrestleMania, for a long time. The American Nightmare has wrestled at eight Manias with an equal win-loss record at the event and competing against the likes of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Big Show. Here are the six top matches of Cody Rhodes at The Grandest Stage of Them All:

Cody Rhodes was a part of Randy Orton’s faction, Legacy, alongside Ted Dibiase. The trio represented their family lineages, with Orton leading the charge for then-rising stars in Rhodes and Dibiase.

Roman Reigns has emerged as one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time. The Otc is carrying forward the historic lineage of the Anoa’i Family in the business and has been perceived as one of the marquee attractions for the company.

His journey began in 2012 when he was part of The Shield alongside Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. In 2014, he began his transition to a singles career and was largely in the main scene till 2020 but did not garner the fans’ support to that extent. However, his shift by debuting the Tribal Chief character took his career to a whole different level.

Despite being one of the biggest names in the business, Roman Reigns has battled a lot of wars in his personal life. It is no secret that he has survived cancer on more than one occasion. However, according to him,...

Dwayne Johnson, popularly known as The Rock, continues to drive WWE like never before, and now for two years in a row, he has been the ultimate heel. Transitioning from the People’s Champ to the Final Boss, Dwayne Johnson has again proved the fact that he has been a force unparalleled whether in the ring or outside it.

As a member of the Tko board of directors, Dwayne Johnson is well aware of what suits the ratings and what doesn’t. Ever since Cody Rhodes’s return, his meteoric rise to being the face of the company has left the fans utterly impressed, and The Rock knew whatever had to happen should have the American Nightmare at the heart of it all.

From then on, whatever followed, including Johnson turning heel, worked out perfectly for the company. Now, with the...

Triple H and Paul Heyman have formed a formidable team to foster the future of WWE. I look forward to it, but the only problem is that a Heyman-led WWE is incomplete without Brock Lesnar. I hate it that he won’t return but that’s his fault. WWE has to look forward now. I will never rule out a return due to the nature of the company but as of now, there is no chance. A Paul Heyman-led WWE will happen with or without Lesnar.

Paul Heyman and Triple H lead WWE to a new era

If one is living under a rock, WWE is on fire now. These are not my words. These are Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s words in the Wrestlemania 41 promo. He is correct because they are achieving sellouts after sellouts. They are going for a European tour now where the crowds will be loud.

WWE legend Seth Rollins recently opened up on his future in the promotion, and his planned path looks shockingly close to the one Triple H took. The former shield member shared the timeline of his retirement from the WWE and also addressed his plans on and off the squared circle.

In an interview with Wfan, Rollins revealed when he is going to hang his boots and bid adieu to the promotion.

“No, I will be 39 in may. You know, 45 maybe really sounds all right to me, I think. It’s kind of going to depend on what I do in the next few years as far as outside of WWE. Both of those things are appealing to me. So just got to...

Roman Reigns is set to face Seth Rollins and Cm Punk in a high-stakes triple threat match where all three participants hate each other for various reasons at Wrestlemania 41. But what if Rollins and Reigns reunite one more time? That’s what veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter speculated should happen in the match. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are friends turned enemies turned friends turned enemies again. How is it possible they can be reunited once again after such a tumultuous turn in their relationship? How can they trust one another after what has happened in the last decade?

Roman Reigns has a lot of animosity against Seth Rollins

The animosity Roman Reigns has for Seth Rollins is at an all-time high. Reigns has never forgiven or forgotten what Rollins did in 2014. To those who are new here, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were in a faction called The Shield.

The use of steroids is one of the most frowned-upon practices in the world of bodybuilding and wrestling. Many spectators believe it to be a shortcut, and considering the amount of side effects that come with its use, it is not surprising that audiences do not want to know that their beloved bodybuilder took that “easy way out.”

At the same time, the culture of using performance-enhancing drugs is controversial out in the open; the underbelly of the industry has become quite accustomed to people using such drugs.

Welcome to our review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly! Let’s see what went down on the now Netflix-broadcast show.

Match #1: Jey Uso def. Grayson Waller The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Just 40 nights ahead of WrestleMania, Jey Uso took down Grayson Waller with a devastating Spear to pick up the win. After the match, Austin Theory tried to interfere but was also met with a Spear. Gunther, however, was quick to ambush his WrestleMania opponent, locking in the Sleeper Hold on Jey.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Tornado Tag Team Match – The New Day def. Dragon Lee & Rey Mysterio The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The tables came out early as The New Day battled Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio in a Tornado Tag Team Match. Lee sent Woods into the table before Mysterio eventually dialed the 619 onto Kingston.

Bron Breakker has been a growing force in the WWE circuit. His beastly presence and his in-ring skills have drawn the attention of the WWE Universe and he has come a long way from where he started. His transition from Nxt has made fans believe that he can be the next big thing in the history of WWE if he is being fostered with care.

Being the son of Rick Steiner, wrestling runs through Bron Breakker’s veins. His burly stature made an immediate impression on the WWE fans, and the way he put it to good use was even better. With the massive spear as one of his finishing moves, he somewhat replicates Rhyno’s deadly Gore.

He is being talked about in the highest of regards amidst WWE’s growing prospects. However,...

The entire WWE fandom lost trust in their eyes as they witnessed John Cena finally turning heel and betraying Cody Rhodes. But what if we tell you that there is a WWE betrayal that is more painful and whose impact is still felt.

Many combat sports fans argue that Seth Rollins’s betrayal of The Shield impacted WWE far more than any other heel turn. The Shield was one of the biggest factions in WWE history, with immense success inside the squared circle. And when it all came crashing down, its echoes were heard all over the WWE universe.

Seth Rollins reveals the main reason behind betraying The Shield Seth Rollins | credit- WWE

Seth Rollins labelled The Shield’s success as the main reason behind destroying it. Rollins believed that the faction had nothing more to win, and it was time for him to embark on his journey and stack up personal accolades.

Few figures in professional wrestling history have had as much influence both in and out of the ring as Paul Heyman. From his days running Ecw to guiding the careers of some of WWE’s biggest stars, Heyman has played a crucial role in shaping modern wrestling. But perhaps his most significant contribution in recent years has been his role in crafting the "Tribal Chief" persona for Roman Reigns, a character that redefined WWE’s main event scene and transformed someone who had struggled to connect with the audience into an all-time great and future Hall of Famer. And according to Heyman, that character was heavily inspired by an iconic war film: Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now.

It was another explosive night on WWE Raw, and this time, the action took over Madison Square Garden. The long-awaited steel cage match between Cm Punk and Seth Rollins delivered everything fans hoped for—until Roman Reigns made sure neither man left truly victorious. Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes had strong words for John Cena, Iyo Sky celebrated her championship win, and Logan Paul picked a fight with Aj Styles.Here’s everything that went down.

The first episode of WWE Raw on Netflix on Jan. 6 was, in the words of a top executive at the company, perhaps the most important episode of the show’s 32-year history. The WWE inked a 10-year, $5 billion deal with the global streaming giant last year, and the episode was meant to be a grand introduction to the platform, with Netflix stars and executives in the crowd, and an opening monologue from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

For the very first WWE match on Netflix, the company delivered a payoff for fans, and a storyline that it hoped would introduce the stakes at play to the new Netflix audience. Roman Reigns, the six-time former WWE champion and founder of the “Bloodline,” had been banished from the faction he founded, with his rival Solo Sikoa assuming control.

Their rivalry had been boiling over for months. Normally, it would culminate in a main event at a WWE flagship,...

As WrestleMania 41 approaches for the April 19th and 20th slot, the spotlight shines on WWE’s top talent and their impressive earnings. Leading the pack are John Cena and Cody Rhodes, who are pitted against each other, followed by Gunther and Jey Uso. Among the female superstars, Iyo Sky stands out for her spectacular win against Rhea Ripley.

Cm Punk is credited as being one of the most influential figures in the history of WWE. He came into the company in 2005 and spent the first six years as just another talent, despite proving his worth and earning multiple titles and accolades in the process.
