WWE’s X Their latest attack also seems reminiscent of The Wyatt Sicks’ debut. After enough teases that NXT’s most dedicated fans were able to identify the members of WWE’s next mystery group (Cutler James, Dion Lennox, Saquon Shugars & Osiris Griffin), the still-unnamed quartet debuted at Vengeance Day. At last Saturday’s premium live event in Washington, D.C., James, Lennox, Shugars & Griffin showed up in outfits that immediately made the wrestling world think of the disastrous launch of RETRIBUTION on the main roster during the pandemic. As they were attacking Tag champs Fraxiom, the ..read more

Perhaps with an assist from a certain romantic holiday... According to Programming Insider, the Feb. 14 SmackDown drew an average hourly audience of 1,384,000 viewers and a .42 rating among 18-49 year olds. The Valentine’s Day edition was down 8% from the previous week in overall viewers, and 12.5% in the demo. B ..read more

WWE.com Jordynne Grace fights, Moose shows up, and Ricky Saints is a new man on this week’s NXT. Rick "RICKY SAINTS IS NXT!" The revolution has begun! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/JIRsZZPesu — WWE (@WWE) February 19, 2025 Ricky Saints? Whew, the eye roll I did when I saw that name on the contract.

@WWE Meet the new Ricky. Ricky Starks showed up in NXT just one week ago, saying he was coming to turn the place upside down. This came all of one day after word got out that he was finally finished up with AEW. They promoted his first big appearance by saying he would “tell the absolute truth” before signing his contract with WWE to become a full time member of the NXT roster. That’s not exactly what happened, or at least not the kind of truth many were likely looking for. Instead, he just said NXT is amazing and this is where the revolution begins. He plans to main event of NXT PLE, win the ..read more
