Despite Drew McIntyre being one of Jacob Fatu’s biggest rivals this year, “The Samoan Werewolf” recently expressed his appreciation for the former Undisputed WWE Champion in a recent interview with Peter Rosenberg.

Speaking on “Cheap Heat,” Fatu reflected on his WrestleMania 42 clash with McIntyre, explaining that the match wouldn’t have been possible without “The Scottish Warrior’s” dedication to the feud, and understands his obsession with fighting The Bloodline.

“I feel like it would have never happened if it wasn’t Drew. The way how everything worked and banged out … there’s no other way. I mean, I feel like if it wasn’t Drew McIntyre, none of this would have happened,” he stated. “I mean it could have been anybody but it just felt normal with Drew. It felt like it was supposed to be there. I mean, man, Drew he was right. Solo Sikoa made his debut against Drew at Clash at the Castle. You know what I mean? So Drew, he’s always fought the Bloodline with Jimmy and Jey … Drew was so good at what he was saying, my kids start to question me. ‘Damn, dad, is he telling the truth about you?”‘

Along with crediting McIntyre for often speaking the truth in the lead up to their WrestleMatch match, Fatu also spoke about how long the Scotsman has been fighting the Bloodline, reminding everyone that he’s fought his late uncle Umaga in WWE.

Braun Strowman Reflects On WWE Main Roster Debut Alongside The Wyatt Family

Posted by admin on May 16th, 2026

Braun Strowman has looked back fondly on his time with the Wyatt Family in WWE and how he was terrified at first.

Strowman, who got his start in pro wrestling with the Wyatt Family over a decade ago, recalled his debut with the Wyatt Family and how he was keen not to fail.

“One, I was just fu**ing terrified. Like, don’t fall. Don’t do something stupid. Like you know, you get one chance to make a first impression and things like that. Some people know, and not a whole lot of people know, that was my fourth time I’d ever wrestled in my entire life,” he revealed to “Rewind Recap Relive.”

Strowman stated that many wrestlers in WWE looked down upon him due to how quickly he was pushed despite having no wrestling experience. However, his Wyatt Family buddies supported him and helped him gain a footing in the business.

“Not even just Bray, just all three of Rowan, Brodie, and [Bray] [supported me]. Like I said, a guy, a kid, you know, that wasn’t well perceived coming into the business ’cause you know, I didn’t do the indies, and you know, [was told] you didn’t pay your dues. Well, I just was out paying my dues a different way, and you know, some wrestlers didn’t like that,” he said. “But to have those guys look past some of that stuff, being generational wrestlers, coming through the indies and the different ways that you know, you could get into this business now, and you know, turning a cheek to it instead of holding a grudge against me like some of the other wrestlers did. They welcomed me in like brothers and family, and that’s why what we did was so magical because they didn’t judge me.”

Strowman said he was eager to learn from the trio, with the late Brodie Lee teaching him how to wrestle. He called his stint in the Wyatt Family a “special time” in his life, where he got to not only travel the world, but also develop strong friendships with the rest of the Wyatt Family.

Ronda Rousey Reflects On Main Eventing WWE WrestleMania 35

Posted by admin on May 16th, 2026

Ronda Rousey, along with Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, made history at WrestleMania 35, but the former WWE star wishes she had more time to prepare for that historic clash.

The three stars became the first women wrestlers to main event WrestleMania, and while the match had been in the making for several months, Rousey complained in a recent interview with “Complex News” that the trio had very little time to prepare the match.

“Yeah, I remembered we had no time at all to put it together, that we spent a year promoting it and like a day and a half putting it together. And it seemed like such a shame because my first debut match, we spent like six weeks putting it together, and we had all the best minds in the industry coming and giving their two cents and like tweaking it and making it better and better and better, until like the day that we came and we went out and did it,” she said. “And I think that main event, though the milestone itself was incredible, I feel like the match unfortunately wasn’t as great as it could have been if we were able to put the same kind of preparation, the kind of preparation into it that I felt like it deserved.”

Rousey has stated that the match felt special despite WWE, according to her, not putting in enough effort for it. The former UFC star believes that the trio could have had one of the greatest matches in pro wrestling, but the limited preparation time didn’t help.

Lynch, too, had detailed the same, recalling how all of them also had to do media for the match due to its incredible importance, and remembered finalizing the match just hours before they went out. Despite the hurried nature of its preparation, the match will go down in history as the most important one in WWE women’s wrestling history.

WWE SmackDown 5/15/2026: 3 Things We Hated & 3 Things We Loved

Posted by admin on May 16th, 2026

Ask and you shall receive, apparently, because I was hollering for the newly-called up Ricky Saints to be booked in a stronger match after he went from facing Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in his “SmackDown” debut to facing Matt Cardona last week. I’ve said somewhere in one of our various columns that he should feud with Carmelo Hayes for the shot at Trick Williams’ United States Championships, and tonight, WWE may have kicked off just that. If not that, at least tensions between Hayes and Saints that could lead to a number one contendership feud, and the men had a pretty great match tonight.

Hayes returned from around a month off of television, which I think was probably good for him. He wasn’t booked on the WrestleMania card, so in addition to the rest, he was also kept fresh, to keep the people wanting more of him and to keep the #WeWantMelo phenomenon alive. He had a backstage segment with Saints, where they were verbally evenly matched, which then led to the pair squaring off in the ring.

Saints looked great to start off the match, but he was too cocky, and Hayes hit a springboard leg drop to get him off his feet. I noticed Saints heeling it up to those fans in the front row on the ramp during a picture-in-picture break, which I thought was excellent. The longer the match went, the more Saints was getting visibly upset that he couldn’t put the former US Champion away, though he hadn’t even attempted to hit the Roshambo yet.

I think they got going a little too fast toward the end of the match, however, and Saints appeared to slip on the Revolution DDT, but Hayes recovered it quickly with a First 48, which Saints kicked out of. Saints then hit the move, and Hayes kicked out of that, which evened things out, so maybe that was the plan after all, but the missed DDT just looked sloppy to me.

In the end, Saints heeled it up once more and had his feet on the ropes in an attempt to put Hayes away, and Hayes was able to roll his opponent up as he argued with the referee, which I think could be grounds somehow for Saints to demand a rematch. After tonight, I definitely wouldn’t mind these two having a series of matches, or coming back to this eventually for a feud, as they worked well together. If they slow things down just a tad, especially after facing one another already, they could really be on to something great. I was excited to see this match booked ahead of the show, and these guys did not disappoint.
