Royal Rumble
WWE has announced the commentary teams and more for Royal Rumble!

We are now just a few short days away from one of WWE’s most anticipated pay-per-views all year, Royal Rumble, this Sunday from Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.

Recently, WWE Hall Of Famer Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler revealed he had signed a new contract with the company and would be at the Royal Rumble event to call some of the action (check that out here). While there had been rumors that Lawler would be alongside fellow Hall Of Famer Jim Ross to call the Men’s Royal Rumble Match, that is not the case as we have learned today.

WWE has announced all of the commentary teams for each match on Sunday, as well as the Kickoff panels and ring announcers:

Announcer lineup for Royal Rumble and Royal Rumble Kickoff

Former WWE Star Reveals How Company Tests Wrestlers for an “Attitude Problem”

Published

on

A former WWE star took to social media to explain, in brief, how WWE evaluates its talent to determine whether they have an “attitude problem.” The post offered a glimpse into the company’s behind-the-scenes vetting process, suggesting that behavior and professionalism are actively monitored during a wrestler’s time with the promotion.

While the explanation was limited, the revelation underscores WWE’s focus on maintaining locker-room culture and managing talent dynamics. Fans and industry observers may read the post as further evidence that character and conduct behind the curtain can be as consequential as in-ring performance.

WWE Backlash Match Sparks “Clone War” Debate in Wrestling Community

Published

on

Wrestling fans and insiders are abuzz after a match at WWE Backlash was accused of “copycatting” a formula previously used by an independent wrestler, a situation some are calling a new “clone war” in the industry. The controversy highlights growing concerns about creative overlap between major promotions and the indie scene.

The debate raises questions about originality and recognition, with observers wondering whether mainstream companies should acknowledge or adapt indie ideas more transparently. As the story spreads, fans and performers alike are watching to see how promotions handle influence, credit, and creative borrowing moving forward.
