Brie dodged surgery and headlines, which is the best-case scenario when your shoulder gets folded like a lawn chair. Ringside News →
Joe Gacy blaming WWE’s front office for killing the Wyatt Sicks is fair, but let’s be honest—that gimmick needed more than creative input to survive. Ringside News →
Nikki Bella turning a throwaway celibacy joke into a week-long news cycle is what happens when wrestling Twitter has nothing better to do than misread sarcasm. Ringside News →
