How does it really happen? We are a few days away from the Royal Rumble, and as always we are speculating as to who could and who should win. And with that comes the topic of elevation; that is, the idea that the Rumble could/should be used to elevate someone new to the main event … Continue reading What is Elevation?

Survivor Series 2020
Dual Brand Battle Royal How good a battle royal is, regardless of company comes down to a couple of things - how good the finish is and how much of the match they put any effort into laying out other than the finish.

Turning Roman Reigns Heel in 2020? Yeah they did

Turning Roman Reigns Heel…..in 2020?
