The first Monday Night RAW of this new decade has unfolded and already I have a lot to say about it…which is either a good thing, or a bad thing. Either way, here are my thoughts: Brock Lesnar Royal Rumble entry is not ‘historic’ At the risk of incurring the wrath of one of the …

The December 18th edition of NXT which saw Rhea Ripley win the NXT Women’s Championship from Shayna Baszler after an astonishing 416 days in the former MMA fighter’s second reign was a happy ending to kick off the holiday season.

As week after week we’ve seen the NXT ‘take over’ on RAW and Smackdown, there are signs of how the three brands will be competing against each other, barring the matches already announced.

We are now in the new era of NXT being live on the USA network, at least for the first hour. The second hour goes back to the WWE Network. Network subscribers would probably watch the full two hours on the network itself, rather than switch back and forth. Judging from this past week on …

With Summerslam being around the corner this coming weekend in Toronto, and with this pay per view one of four of WWE’s marquee shows in a calendar year, there is already a solid card booked for the event as it unfolds at the Scotiabank Arena in Canada’s largest city.

According to Ringside News recently, WWE is contemplating the establishment of an NXT in the Great White North, particularly in one area of suburban Toronto that has seen a strong following for independent professional wrestling as of late.
