Adam Bomb On Why His 2001 WWF Return Didn’t Work Out

The end of the 2023 Royal Rumble was chaotic, to say the least. The highlights of the main event were more of what happened after than before Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns retained his title against Kevin Owens. After the match, Reigns, Jey and Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa...

After the 2023 Royal Rumble event, WWE held a press conference where Rhea Ripley spoke about how she dislocated her knee during the women's Royal Rumble match.

This past Monday during the 30th anniversary of "WWE Raw," Austin Theory successfully retained his United States Championship in a No Disqualification match against Bobby Lashley. Of course, it didn't play out in a particularly straightforward manner. After "The Almighty" had seemingly gained the upper hand, a returning Brock Lesnar took to the ring and delivered an F-5 to both competitors — with Theory landing on top of Lashley rather fortuitously before securing the pinfall. Still, "The Now" holds a major title as we continue on the Road to WrestleMania, which is worth noting.

So far, through the first four years of AEW's existence, owner Tony Khan has been far more of an offscreen presence than he's been an onscreen one, appearing sparingly on AEW TV. Even still, Khan has occasionally had his name pulled into the AEW storyline, perhaps most notably by AEW World Champion MJF, who famously referred to Khan several times in a now infamous promo cut this past June.

The fallout from Saturday night's Royal Rumble will hit Tulsa, Oklahoma tonight as "WWE Raw" rolls into town, and while WWE has remained rather quiet about what to expect on this evening's show, it'd be fair to anticipate a number of developments to start taking shape now that we're officially on the road to WrestleMania.
