(left to right) Jimmy Uso, Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, Solo Sakoa, Jey Uso While I was going to do this post on The Bloodline, I realized how many factions were involved in WWE. Yes, The Bloodline has been a lot of WWE recently, but as my dad said… they are slowly losing traction and becoming less of the ‘main drama’ on the show. Factions are groups of wrestlers in their own ‘cliques,’ and there are many of these factions that can be recalled throughout the years. The Bloodline is run by Roman Reigns as the ‘Tribal Chief’ because of his Samoan background–the numerous ethnicities of WWE are what I want my next post to be about. Jey Uso joined Roman next as the ‘Right Hand Man’ with his twin brother Jimmy. Paul Heyman became Reign’s ‘special counsel’ or ‘wise man.’ Solo Sikoa, the Uso’s younger brother, joined the Bloodline later. Recently, Sami Zayn made it his goal to ruin the Bloodline. He joined as a fake member, gaining their trust before beginning to crumble the tribe from within. Now...

Roman Reigns with two titles In the WWE universe, there are numerous titles that superstars can win throughout the season. In fact, every month during Premium Live Events, titles are put up in certain matches while others are held until Wrestlemania. As of right now, there are about nine known titles still in use. There is the new World Heavyweight Champion that was introduced in the 2023 Draft, and the current holder is Seth “Freakin” Rollins. It is a Raw title. The Smackdown equivalent is the WWE Championship, which is held by Roman Reigns; however, Reigns also holds the Universal Championship. He has held these two titles for over 1000 days! Because of Reigns’s long reign (ha, pun!), the officials decided to combine the two titles into one Smackdown title. Another combined title is the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. This title was previously two separate titles for both Raw and Smackdown labeled as Raw Tag Team Championship and Smackdown Team Championship. The current holders...

Wrestlemania 1 Pay-per-views (PPV) began after Vince McMahon Jr. bought many wrestling territories in the United States. The first ever PPV was Wrestlemania debuting in 1984. Wrestlemania was smaller a production than it is nowadays. In fact, next year in 2024, it will be the 40th Wrestlemania held in Philadelphia, PA. Looking at the commercials, it will be one of the biggest events yet! Every month there is a pay-per-view all with different gimmicks and titles, but there are four shows that have stayed the same yearly. Wrestlemania, Summer Slam, Survivor Series, and the Royal Rumble are continuous each year. Survivor Series came up first in 1987. It normally is always around Thanksgiving time. The show itself has evolved since it used to be just five against five with random teams; they tried to focus on good versus bad. Now, like every PPV, there are more matches that are important to the show. The other two were both introduced in 1988. Summer Slam’s best memory has to be “The Mega ...

Vince McMahon Sr. (left) and Vince McMahon Jr. (right) World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has such a long history that includes many name changes, but no matter what, the fanbase has stuck by its side. Vince McMahon Jr. is the name most people associate with WWE as he has run the company for over 40 years. WWE was not the large company it is today, for McMahon Jr. shaped the corporation to fit his standards. In 1982, McMahon Jr. bought World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) from his father McMahon Sr. and changed the name to World Wrestling Federation (WWF)... that extra W just wasn’t doing it for him. After purchasing the company, McMahon went into different wrestling territories and bought wrestlers from them; thus, those territories eventually went bankrupt. Vince himself owned the New York territory of entertainment wrestling, but his advancements into other territories included famous faces, such as Stu Hart with Stampede Wrestling covering the Montana area and Memphis Wrestling ...
