Can you blame her? There are so many people on the WWE roster that it can be difficult to come up with something for everyone to do. Some of them have been around for a very long time and can often need something new to make things fresh. That makes sense in theory, but sometimes WWE can’t make it work. It seems to be the case again and one of the wrestlers isn’t pleased.
According to Fightful Select, Alexa Bliss is frustrated with her lack of creative direction in WWE. Bliss reportedly pitched to be part of the Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair match at WrestleMania 38 though she did not appear. At spme point, she reportedly spoke to Vince McMahon about her issues. Bliss has not appeared since Elimination Chamber in February, which was her first match since Extreme Rules in September. Between her matches, she appeared in a series of vignettes on Monday Night Raw, showing her in therapy to rid herself of her obsession with her Lily doll. There is no word on when she will be returning to W..

I guess that counts. There are a lot of seemingly random changes that take place in WWE and a lot of them seem to stem from Vince McMahon’s crazy decisions. Some of these changes feel like they come out of nowhere and last as long as McMahon thinks it is a good idea, which might be the case again. Now we do have an idea of why McMahon is making the changes he has made.
WWE has recently changed several wrestlers’ names, with the new rule saying that wrestlers are unable to use their real names or names they used on the independent circuit. According to Wrestling Observer Live, McMahon issued the change as a way to prevent wrestlers from using their WWE names if/when they leave for AEW. The idea has led to changes such as Austin Theory becoming just Theory and a variety of other changes to brand new names.
Opinion: It does make sense, but ultimately I don’t think fans are going to care that much about what an easily identifiable wrestler is going to be called. Fans are going to know if..

That’s something to brag about. WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world and has been for a very long time now. While the company has been centered in the United States for their entire history, it also has a long run of success outside of the company. Now they are having another success from another part of the world on its biggest nights of the year.
According to India.com, WrestleMania 38 set a new record for wrestling viewership on the Sony Sports Network. The show was viewed by 56.1 million viewers over the show’s two nights. The debut of Veer Mahaan on Monday Night Raw the following night was credited with a 9% increase in the show’s viewership. WrestleMania 38 took place on April 2 and April 3 at AT&T Stadium.
Opinion: I’d certainly call that a success, as tens of millions of people watched WWE’s show. I’m not sure what that compares to other wrestling shows in India but it is certainly a good looking number for WWE. It also shows why Mahaan is goin..

It was nice while it lasted. Women’s wrestling has come a very long way in WWE in the last few years, as it has gone from a complete joke to something actually worthwhile. The company has built up a roster with some depth and women’s matches are treated as big deals these days. There is even a tag team division, though now one of those teams seems to be no more.
Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley unsuccessfully challenged Sasha Banks and Naomi for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles this week on Monday Night Raw. Following the match, Ripley blamed Morgan for the loss and attacked her, seemingly ending their team. Following the attack, Ripley said that she did not owe anyone an explanation for the split. Ripley and Morgan only began regularly teaming together in early March of this year.
This didn’t go well. Check out how the match and split went down:

Opinion: I’m not sure if this is the biggest surprise as the two of them seemed ready to be split up ..

Fare thee well. There have been a lot of departures from WWE over the last several months and the majority of them have not been against the wrestlers’ wishes. WWE has released so many wrestlers that it has been hard to keep up with all of them, but not everyone has been let go. Now it seems that another wrestler has left, but this time it was their own decision to depart.
According to Fightful, Kushida has left WWE. This comes after Kushida was attacked by Von Wagner last week on NXT, though there was no indication that Kushida was leaving. Kushida officially signed with WWE in April 2019 and spent his time with the company in NXT and on 205 Live. He won the Cruiserweight Title in April 2021 and held it for a little over five months before losing the title to Roderick Strong in September of the same year. There is no word on where Kushida plans to sign next.
Fightful has confirmed that Kushida has left WWE

In reality. There are certain situations where you can tell that a new wrestler is going to be a star from the moment you see him. It can be something about what they do or the way they talk but you know what you are going to be getting sooner or later. That is the case in WWE today, and now one of those wrestlers with this much potential has actually accomplished something.
This week on Monday Night Raw, Theory defeated Finn Balor to become the United States Champion. The win marks Theory’s first championship in WWE and comes after he has been deems Vince McMahon’s newest protege. Theory debuted on the main roster in October 2021 and has been paired with McMahon since November of last year. The victory ends Balor’s title reign at 49 days.
Opinion: I don’t know how Theory’s reign is going to go, but he beat Balor clean in the middle of the ring to win the title. That alone should put him on the right path as he is now ready to move up to the next level. Theory is someone who has show..

It does fit the theme. We are less than three weeks away from WrestleMania Backlash, which should have a pretty obvious theme. With WrestleMania 38 in the rear view mirror, it is time to start focusing on the next show but there is still some fallout from WrestleMania to deal with first. Some of that will be done at WrestleMania Backlash as a new grudge match has been set.
This week on Monday Night Raw, a WrestleMania rematch was set up for WrestleMania Backlash as AJ Styles accepted Edge’s challenge for a match. Edge defeated Styles at WrestleMania with an assist from Damian Priest. Styles has continued going after the two of them, though the pair attacked Styles in the locker room and injured his arm by slamming it in a locker door.
Opinion: This isn’t a big surprise, though there was a chance that it might have been Priest getting to face Styles instead. Styles vs. Edge seems like it is on course to be a longer show, perhaps all the way to Hell In A Cell in June. I’m not sure how ..

We are most of the way to Wrestlemania Backlash and a lot of the card has been set. Last week’s Smackdown saw RKBro vs. the Usos officially announced for the pay per view and at the moment, that is the biggest match on the card. Maybe we can get some more things added this week so let’s get to it.
The opening video looks at Cody Rhodes beating the Miz last week and then setting up his Wrestlemania Backlash rematch with Seth Rollins.
Here is Seth Rollins to get things going. Rollins gets straight to the point by calling out Cody Rhodes, who joins him in the ring. Rhodes thinks Buffalo is Rhodes Country and the fans seem to agree. Before Rollins can get anything in, the fans keep cutting him off. Rollins says he was going to talk about his respect for Rhodes and his family.
After all of those years of hard work to become the American Nightmare, Rolli..

They seem to be impressed. WWE has been around for a very long time and it means a lot to be one of the company’s featured stars. If you are one of the focal points of WWE, it suggests that you are going to be a major player in the wrestling industry and that means your face is going to be seen in a lot of places. That was the case again this week and the face might have been a surprise.
This weekend, the United States Football League returned after a nearly forty year absence. The broadcast of at least one game included an advertisement for WWE Monday Night Raw and SmackDown. While the SmackDown side of the graphic featured Roman Reigns, the Monday Night Raw side featured Cody Rhodes. This comes after Rhodes returned to the company less than a month ago at WrestleMania 38 and suggests that Rhodes will be a featured star both on Monday Night Raw and on WWE programming in general.

Does that make them superheroes? There are very few teams as controversial as the Young Bucks. The former AEW Tag Team Champions have dominated a lot of the tag team scene around the world for several years. Their success cannot be argued, but their style is something that has not caught on with a lot of fans. Now they have done something outside of the ring that might be a bit controversial as well.
It’s certainly timely. Check out the Young Bucks’ latest exploit:

The Young Bucks have released a video on Instagram showing the two of them attacking the Easter Bunny. In the video, a young girl tells the team that the Easter Bunny is creepy. The Easter Bunny is shown flipping off the crowd, causing the Young Bucks to double superkick him into an inflatable. There is no word on who may have portrayed the Easter Bunny in the video.
Opinion: I know he might have been creepy, but they just beat up the Easter Bunny! That is one of those things tha..

That’s a rare one. There are very few stars in WWE history who have reached the level of Roman Reigns. Having held the Universal Title for over six hundred days, Reigns is one of the longest reigning champions in WWE history and the question becomes who could possibly take the title off of him. Reigns is a special star, but he did something very interesting this weekend at a live event.
Following a victory over Drew McIntyre in the main event of Saturday’s live event in Erie, Pennsylvania, Reigns broke character to thank the fans for helping him get through the last month. Reigns said it was his first time in the ring since WrestleMania and thanked the fans for supporting them. In addition, Reigns asked fans not to put it on social media because he would deny it and say that the video was a hologram.
That’s some good hologramming. Check out what Reigns had to say:

That’s horrible. Wrestlers have an interesting job when it comes to performing, as they have to keep things safe while also making fans believe that what they are seeing is real. That is easier said than done but the best stars have the ability to make it work. Sometimes people take a similar skill in an extremely wrong direction though and that seems to be the case again in relation to a WWE star.
WWE’s Liv Morgan has posted some tweets begging fans not to believe others impersonating her online. Morgan says that someone has been talking to fans while posing as her and asking for money. This has caused one fan to sell his house and everything he owned, thinking he was helping Morgan. She made it clear that she has not asked for anything and begged people to stop using her name or sending money to someone posing as her.
Guys I’ve been sent so many emails of horror stories about people making fake accounts and emails pretending to be me & asking for huge amounts of money. This really ..
