FOLLOW THE SITE WIDE RULES: Please try to adhere to the general spirit of Reddiquette and Reddit Site Rules - remember that there's a human behind the screen! If you have issues with r/WWE rules, message the moderators to address.
SPOILER POLICY: Spoiler times run for 24 hours after a TV show or PPV ends. Anything that takes place on a TV show or PPV is a spoiler. It does not matter if it is a “real life event”, if it occurs on a live show or PPV, or is mentioned on a live show or PPV, it meets our definition of “spoiler”. If you post a spoiler, TAG YOUR POST as a spoiler. Do not post spoilers in the title of your posts. Do not post a photo with a spoiler, as not all platforms will hide the photo. While a TV show or live event is in progress, we create a discussion thread for the live event or PPV that is in progress.
WHY CAN'T I POST? When a show is live (TV/PPV/ETC), we lock the sub (until the next morning) so posts aren't allowed. This avoids spoilers for those who don't watch live. If you can't post, look to see if a show or PPV is airing live, and that's why.
NO TROLLING: Trolling is an instant ban. This includes on the sub and in the chat room. This also includes "WWE sucks, X promotion is better" trolling.
REPORT OFFENSIVE/SPAMMY/BAD CONTENT: This subreddit will be a better environment for new/discussion if substandard content is reported. You can send a link to the content via modmail or use Reddit's reporting system to report a post. This sub does not allow racist, offensive or pornographic content, including memes.
RESPECT OTHERS: r/WWE does not tolerate bigotry, sexism, racism, homophobia, or transphobia against members, or wrestlers. This includes discussion of male/female violence. We also do not tolerate disrespect or attacks towards r/WWE staff and admins. Disrespecting users will result in a 7 day ban. Disrespecting or attacking moderators and admins will result in a permaban. Disrespecting r/WWE or r/WWE staff on others subs or your personal account/profile will result in a perma ban. Also, attacking people because they like more than just WWE will result in a ban. People are allowed to enjoy and consume any content they desire, and we will not stand for attacks on those who enjoy other promotions.
"SHITPOSTING", KARMA FARMING & UNRELATED POSTS/MEMES/APPROPRIATE CONTENT/SEXUALIZING TALENT: Do not post random stuff just for karma. This especially applies to dumb memes that have nothing to do with anything. Admins and moderators reserve the right to remove memes that seem to be pointless. Shitposting will result in a ban. If it doesn't feel like it belongs here, it goes to r/WWEMemes. Also, this isn't a game sub. Video game stuff goes to r/WWEGames. Also, this sub doesn't exist to sexualize women, nor to comment on the appearance of WWE female performers ("hot", "sexy", etc). It's not a sub for "thirst traps", or to post horny pics. There are multiple other subs to obsess over women's bodies, or "who was the hottest" / "who's the hottest", we don't do that here.
NO STREAMING SITES: Do not ask for, post or share links to sites streaming PPVs and shows. Links will be deleted as spam and those sharing/asking for illegal stream links will be banned.
SELF PROMOTION POLICY: This subreddit does not allow self promotion. Do not use r/wwe to promote your social media, blog, website, Twitch, Discord, YouTube channel, or podcast. Violators will be banned.
NO POLITICS: This is a forum for discussion of r/wwe. Regardless of whether or not a US President has been related to WWE in some form, we do not allow political discussion here. There are plenty of subs out there for that. The only exception is when politics has a direct effect on WWE, such as Florida declaring WWE an essential business during the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020.
MAJOR TOPICS/MEGATHREADS: When a major event occurs, megathreads will be created to group discussion so they don't overtake the sub. All related discussion (predictions, etc) should be kept in this threads and individual created threads will be locked/removed. If a thread is locked/deleted and the user posts it again, this may lead to a ban. Those who disrespect, attack, or insult mods, staff, or the r/WWE sub for organizing minor threads into a megathread will receive a 7 day ban.
LEAKED RESULTS: Do not post leaked results of taped shows.
SELLING: Don't use r/WWE to sell your stuff or link to your auctions. This is a discussion forum, not a platform for you to sell your stuff.
REPOSTING REMOVED POSTS: If your post is removed, don't repost it, or post "why was my post removed". Review the sub's rules, or PM admin/mod staff at r/WWE to inquire.
AEW Discussion: Per the results of a vote by members of this sub, limited AEW discussion is allowed only if it is extremely relevant to WWE. This includes legitimate comparisons, as well as major WWE superstars debuting in AEW. AEW trolling will not be tolerated and those who do so will be banned.

I wanted to start a discussion on why i think Cm Punk needs to Main event Wrestlemania 41 night 2 , i feel like its only fair to have him close out the show of shows, whats your take on it guys?
I think the storyline was a good idea but they have went to far now making him go in a cage and letting rhea beat him up when he can't do nothing back which I find a bit unfair. I know I said that rhea and Dom should have a match but that was a joke.
I really think that rhea and Dom are both allowed to find each other equally or the both shouldn't fight each other. I never liked Dom but I feel sad for him getting battered by rhea every week and he can't do anything about it and I have started to dislike rhea because she's just getting annoying now. Idk if this is what they were trying to go for if they did they have done a really good job.
I know there are not enough matches for cena in his retirement tour that we all would love to see happen. There’s too many names to count we would love to see. However for me AJ and cena had unreal chemistry in the ring, as well as their promos. Even if it was a heavily promoted TV match, I would enjoy seeing these two run it back once more.
What about you?
I don't know if this is a Hot Take or not and we know we love how Triple H is handling WWE ever since Vince went away, but Triple H has ruined the tag team division on both Raw and Smackdown. He's fed the World Tag Team Titles to the Judgement Day's Finn Balor and JD McDonagh who barely defend the titles, and he's fed the WWE Tag Team Championships to the Bloodline's Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa(who only got the title because Jacob Fatu surrendered it.) And The Bloodline aren't doing anything special with the titles. At least the Usos made it special when they were in the Bloodline. He's even ruined it on NXT. Nathan Frazier and Axiom were arguing with the whole breakup kf the will they or won't they, and it was way too soon for Ridge Holland to turn heel as they used the titles to break up the tag team of Andre Chase and Holland.

side notes
That opening video package was ART! One of the best they ever did imo
Opener was short but borderline unwatchable
Hardcore match was some fun but nothing to write home about
Mideon vs Bossman was so boring, I almost fell asleep watching
Tag match was meh,the angle itself was uninteresting so why would the match be any different ?
Special guest referee is a handy device for a personal feud,and it worked here,although the match didn’t pick up until Shamrock lost it with special guest referee Billy Gunn
Chyna and Kane vs DX was fairly decent,although I definitely prefer the combination of HHH and Shawn Michaels rather than HHH and X-Pac
Last man standing match was the best of the night, although the crowd hated the finish
Cage match was good, although dragged at times, I prefer the cage design we have now over the black bar one though. Also had the debut of Paul “Big Show” Wight.
Here is the last minute match card and result prediction:
Explanation:
So by now I'm sure everyone has seen the Pat McAfee show thing with Cody "so I heard the big guys coming back this week" meaning that someone is likely returning on Smackdown or at Bad Blood, with that said who we think he is? My vote is on The Rock or possibly Jimmy with "Tyne big Guy" being used to throw us off.
Some matches during covid like the swamp fight and firefly fun house match are really overhated. They weren't real "matches" but they were still cool. The Randy vs Alexa match sucked but not all cinematic matches are bad.
#WWE SmackSown...err, SmackDown
AJ Styles returns
The Phenomenal One is set to return to Friday Night SmackDown after months away from the blue brand. Styles hasn’t been seen since falling to Randy Orton in a King of The Ring Qualifying Match, and the former WWE Champion is is ready to return. Don’t miss Styles live on Friday at 8/7 C on USA.
Is there a streaming service that is airing raw and smackdown the day after they air like Hulu did? I’ve heard Peacock is supposed to be the place, but they are still over a month out when it comes to episodes. So do I just have to resort to YouTube highlights if I somehow miss an episode live?
I say this because rheas the best wrestler in the women's division so they should have a brawl to settle the beef. But it was just an idea it may be stupid because it a boy Vs girl match but I would pay to watch it.

I wanna watch Bad Blood but can’t catch it when it’s live. Does Peacock post them right away or anything, how can I go about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated
For years, maybe even decades, we've heard that WWE is on the lookout for the "next Rey Mysterio" - a Luchador so over they'll sell tonnes of merchandise like masks, millions of different figures, shirts etc etc etc
We've seen so many attempts at this point, with Sin Cara, Kalisto and Dragon Lee all being earmarked as "The next Rey Mysterio" but it never materializes as WWE never really seem to get behind them.
I personally dont understand why there is always the focus on just one Luchador, while everyone else gets unmasked. Andrade, Ricochet, Santos Escobar were all unmasked before debuting in WWE. The Mexicools were unmasked before debuting, which never made sense to me.
Mysterio got over I think because he was allowed to get over in the Cruiserweight division first, but obviously they've killed that division, brought it back, relegated it to NXT then killed it again. Lucha House party were made into a joke.
Apparently Penta and Fenix are on their way, but will they be used properly?
My questions really are..
Do you think WWE is to blame for not being able to create their "next Rey Mysterio"?
Is Mysterio just so good they'll never replicate him? Should they even be trying?
Should they ever have been focusing on just one since Luchador star?
Have they already had that guy and fumbled him? (Sin Cara 1, Sin Cara 2, Kalisto, one of the Mexicools, Ultimo Dragon, one of the Lucha House Party?)
Is that guy currently on the roster, or on the horizon? (Dragon Lee, Axiom, Penta, Fenix)
Or is there someone else out there in the industry they should be headhunting? (Current Mistico, Dralistico, Hologram, Mortos, Luchasaurus. Apologies my knowledge of the rosters in Mexico isn't great)
What do you think?
If Tiffany does not cash in at bad blood when do see her cash in do you think she cashes at the road to mania
Question for anyone who has gone I see the tour is in Orlando and then Miami. We bought tickets for Orlando a month or so ago before I saw they were also coming to Miami closer to home. Will this likely be the same performers back to back nights? The promo pics both have Cody, LA knight, Nia - but I don’t want to do both if it’s the same thing again.
There is a new line of WWE Action Figures being released in stores for the promotion of RAW on Netflix and the boxes have a new RAW logo! You guys think this is the official RAW logo when it debuts on Netflix??
Does anyone know when the encore is available to steam on Peacock? Is it usually after the press conference stream?
Would things have turned out better on the long run?
What’s the best app to buy WWE tickets on? I am going on Oct 21st but wanna get the best deal!!
Why do they insist on practically telling us someone is returning? Recent example Seth Rollins. But there are many others.
I keep hearing how cody rhodes is gonna bring back the winged eagle design, but I believe its better left as a memory of that era. Bringing it back won't give the title the same feel it had back then. The memory people have of that title is connected to who they were at that time and the stories and characters that based around it. You can bring back the design but it won't bring back that feeling.
Their are a few repeats due to special title designs, as always these are all my personal opinion! Pls don't flame me too much please 🥺
