WWE Superstar Sami Zayn took to social media Tuesday evening to share a photo of his garbage can and it appears the former "Honorary Uce" threw out some of his memories with The Bloodline. Zayn set out framed photos along with a chair from the 2022 Survivor Series: War Games event, which was where Jey Uso started to trust and be friends with Zayn. It's worth noting that this is the first time that Zayn has posted on Twitter since the 2023 Royal Rumble.

On Wednesday, Fox Sports released the latest episode of "Out of Character with Ryan Satin," with this week's guest being current "WWE SmackDown" Women's Champion Charlotte Flair.

The fourth season of VICE's "Dark Side of the Ring" is in production.

Fans attending tonight's "WWE SmackDown" live in Greenville, SC are set to experience the next installment in The Bloodline saga, as Sami Zayn is reportedly set to appear on the show.

The next chapter of The Bloodline's storyline with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will be penned on tonight's episode of "WWE SmackDown" from Greenville, South Carolina. A dramatic twist followed the Roman Reigns-Kevin Owens main event at the Royal Rumble as Zayn smashed a steel chair into the back of the "Tribal Chief" after being tasked to finish the job on an already beaten and handcuffed Owens. As a result, Jey Uso, who had called the "Honorary Uce" his "brother" just days earlier, was left shaken, exiting the scene alone and turning his back on his family — both literally and figuratively. Who might appear this evening in the aftermath of the Rumble remains to be seen, but one can only assume that there are some uncomfortable conversations to be had moving ahead.

Austin Theory has reflected on a time in his career when he felt there was some controversy that needed to be addressed.

This past Saturday in WWE's Women's Royal Rumble match, Piper Niven made her triumphant return to action. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of it was her ring name, which she's never used on the WWE main roster. She made her debut under the Niven name and used it in the Mae Young Classic and "WWE NXT UK," but for the last several years, Niven has been known to the WWE universe as Doudrop, the fun-loving former sidekick of Eva Marie who became a Bane-esque supervillain alongside Nikki A.S.H. in 2022. Since her debut as Doudrop on the main roster, many fans have rolled their eyes at her inconstant and often haphazard booking, and there was much rejoicing in the Alamodome when Niven returned to her roots at the Rumble.

Chyna experienced some tragic moments in her life, but she will go down in history as a groundbreaking performer.

The upcoming documentary "Chyna: Wrestling with Demons" will chronicle her life and career, and it's set to feature stars from across the wrestling world.

Social media personality and WWE star Logan Paul forgot to follow a key piece of advice before entering the 2023 men's Royal Rumble match, and he paid the price for it.

As the popular saying goes: "This is professional wrestling, not ballet." Which can be translated to: "Injuries aren't a matter of 'if' but 'when.'" But one WWE superstar had an unfortunate knack for getting injured by up-and-comers during the height of his career. Bob "Hardcore" Holly was scheduled to face WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle on a 2000 episode of "WWE SmackDown," but an ill-timed moonsault ended up breaking Holly's arm and caused a panic. Angle has stated in the past that he took over the match from that point, but Holly says that wasn't exactly the case and it played out a bit differently.

Booker further stressed that he would "rather be jobbed out by GUNTHER than GUNTHER be jobbed out by me any day of the week" while discussing his brief cameo in WWE's battle royal.

WWE is in the midst of the Road to WrestleMania, and that brings a lot of speculation as to what matches fans can expect to see. According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are currently five locked in, one of which features John Cena. The 16-time world champion hasn't competed at WrestleMania since his Firefly Funhouse match against Bray Wyatt, and you have to go back to 2018 for the last time he performed in front of a live crowd at the event.

When the special "Raw is XXX" edition of "WWE Raw" came to a conclusion last week, one of the biggest talking points was the reaction to the show by the Bella Twins. Brie and Nikki Bella bemoaned the promotion, or lack thereof, of the women's division during the broadcast, even going as far to say that WWE avoided doing so due to the absence of former WWE stars Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) and Saraya (fka Paige).

While Dave Bautista has confirmed that he is fully retired from wrestling and has no plans to get back in the ring, that doesn't mean the "Dune" star has fully ended his affiliation with WWE.
