"We know we're here for the pops and the surprises."

Lin-Manuel Miranda just confirmed everything we've all been saying about WWE fans for the last four-plus years.

I'll give WWE this much, a WrestleMania opening video featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda in 2026 is much better than how in 2004 they had either Daniel or Stephen Baldwin narrate the intro but never named him to make it seem like they got Alec.

I have no idea how feasible it would be, losing the big draw of WWE being there, but it would be cool if all the indie shows that pop up around Mania just picked a weekend and a US city and did shows there next year away from Saudi Arabia

As someone who is very nosy, I would like to know why the WWE is banning reporters from events now.

We need to invent new slurs for people who watch WWE.

normally i’d bristle when normies would get all huffy about wrestling but i have to say the reactions to wwe being espn are making me feel 😈

It already is?
It's an AEW site. Don't try to turn it into a WWE site 'cuz it ain't gonna work.

Oh boy, the takes are hot on Al Gore's Internet today. ESPN really screwed up this week. I do appreciate how normies know to hate WWE, but pro wrestling is more than WWE. And we all know it's "fake" because that's not the point.

Actually wild seeing wwe use the song tom morello made for ffxiv in a promo for wrestlemania

I genuinely thought I was hallucinating or had accidentally started playing my music playlist in the background

I still don't understand who at ESPN thought (or was conned into believing) that WWE was like UFC. Because that's how they're promoting it & that's why regular sports fans excited for the playoffs are so annoyed. We should bring back "epic fail" just for this.

bluesky's open hostility to WWE fans is honestly beautiful. We do need to bring back shame.

People keep making the mistake of telling us they support WWE on here and the shit doesn’t fly over here lmao

John Cena praises Chelsea Green's work in WWE.

"Chelsea Green is a great example of taking an inch and making it a mile, and not being afraid to do anything and everything to commit to what's right for the business."

More than just a story about Andreas Hale, this sends a message to all aspiring reporters/writers to steer clear of critical coverage because it will harm your standing with access to WWE and therefore diminishes the value you bring to your outlet

Outlets need to back their reporters

An Atlantic reporter getting dunked on for being a WWE stan. THAT, my friends, is peak Bluesky.

Brother did you not hear the news WWE isn't a wrestling company. Multiple people who work there have said it themselves

If you think the WWE / ESPN relationship is wild and "just wrestling", wait 'til ESPN owns completely NFL Network and has to "report"

AEW peaking while WWE falls apart. You absolutely love to see it.

"According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, early estimates suggest that the event achieved the second-highest buyrate since AEW’s All In, behind only Revolution." Both AEW ppvs of 2026 doing big business should not get lost in WWE's implosion.

It's truly such a shame that Kurt never got involved with anything outside of WWE after his awful retirement there. - The blind loyalty of some of the greats to that company is so depressing. It would have been nice to see Kurt in any number of roles/appearances. 🤼

WWE denying Andreas Hale credentials just because he’s been fair about AEW is fucking petty bullshit. Journalists aren’t supposed to be company fanboys. That’s not protecting the brand, it’s controlling the narrative.
