The 2019 Superstar Shakeup has come and gone and here are my thoughts on what transpired. Smackdown got the better bargain with the women’s division This is something that has already been said but the distribution of female talent has obviously benefited the blue brand.

Here’s The Brief Rundown on all the Championships in WWE Right Now (Part 1)
The WWE in 2019 is radically different from the organization in the days when I started watching professional wrestling some 20 years ago.

Would Mustafa Ali Have Gotten A Similar Reaction If he received Kofi Kingston’s Push?

Will We Be Seeing More NXT Interaction with WWE’s Main Roster in the Future?
There’s a lot to unpack from this past week’s RAW and Smackdown Live, but let’s focus on the main thing that a good chunk of people are probably talking about: the debuts on the main roster of Ricochet, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa and Aleister Black. On RAW, Triple H announced that the four would be …
