The world of WWE has seen a lot of shockers, and John Cena’s recent return to the ring and turning heel was yet another one of them. There have been a lot of babyface/heel turns in the wrestling world over the years that have struck as surprising to fans, with some striking better as faces than heels while others being good at both. But it does not strip it of the unpredictability at all.

Cena’s turning heel, for one, really did serve as a stunning element because it was one of the most unexpected events ever for the ultimate babyface. At the Elimination Chamber 2025, he chose to align with The Rock and attack Cody Rhodes, gaining widespread attention by ending his nearly 20-year run as a face as he broke the record for the longest WWE face run before turning heel.

On Wednesday, five men who had worked as “ring boys” for World Wrestling Entertainment as young teenagers in the 1980s filed a lawsuit alleging that they were groomed and sexually abused by ring crew boss and ring announcer Mel Phillips on the company’s watch. The suit, filed by five John Does, names WWE, parent company Tko Group Holdings, and WWE co-founders/former executives Vince and Linda McMahon as defendants. (Phillips died in 2012.) The suit paints a picture of Phillips as someone to whom WWE gave unfettered access to kids...

Netflix's Mr. McMahon documentary blurred the lines between the former WWE Chairman and the villain he played on television. The docuseries tries hard to convince the viewer that Vince was just as tyrannical in real life as he was onscreen. Then again, when the doc has such shocking reveals, as Vince demanding his son Shane to stab him at dinner, it didn't need to try hard to make that impression.

Whether his sins were behind closed doors or in front of the public's eyes, there's plenty to judge Vincent Kennedy McMahon about. As much as the high points of his career made him the billionaire he is today, the low points almost made him lose everything. The following are just a few examples of the more questionable Vince McMahon actions, from TV antics to much more serious things, that continue to leave a bad taste in people's mouths to this day.

In the world of entertainment business, there has not been a figure as grand as Vince McMahon, who made the sport of wrestling into a billion-dollar industry. Setting up a business empire using wrestling and other related sports, the American businessman’s life and career have not been without controversy and drama.

Ironically, also considered to be one of the most hated figures in the world of wrestling, it is McMahon’s controversial business decisions and other acts that led him to become the subject of fans’ hate and backlash. And the recently released Netflix documentary series, Mr. McMahon, certainly guarantees that he is in line to receive even more intense backlash given the startling details revealed by the six-episode series.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wasn’t born a wrestling star. He had to become one, and Tuesday’s Young Rock heartwarmingly showed fans how his road to stardom in the ring began.

It started with a call from Pat Patterson in 1996, who wanted Dwayne to fight in a dark match in Corpus Christi, Texas, per Vince McMahon’s request. Dwayne, of course, said yes to his first match, but he didn’t have any gear. So he had to borrow his uncle King Tonga’s trunks (which were too big) and his father Rocky’s boots (which were too small...

We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about lotsa shows including Bridgerton, WeCrashed, Killing Eve, Station 19 and Atlanta!

1 | Full Bridgerton spoilers ahead! Did you feel cheated because the wedding from The Viscount Who Loved Me, between Anthony and Kate, wasn’t shown? How do feel about Edwina’s fate? And is the show’s glaring lack of LGBTQ+ representation all the more surprising given Shonda Rhimes’ sterling track record on inclusion and the fact that the Netflix phenom’s showrunner Chris Van Dusen is himself gay?...

With WWE Royal Rumble 2020 almost upon us, we look at every match and see the best and worst of what they had to offer.

In 2003, a rapping John Cena said it best. “Besides open mics, one thing that gets me boiled is an old school 30-man battle royal.” Actually, he didn’t say that best at all! What was I thinking quoting him?

What I mean to say is that the Royal Rumble match is one of the best things WWE has had going for them since the '80s. Pat Patterson’s brainchild has given us well over a day’s worth of footage and a lifetime of great memories. WWE may act like the Royal Rumble is the appetizer to WrestleMania’s main course, but as far as I’m concerned, the Rumble is the main course and Mania is just a lengthy dessert.
