Official WWE RPG Is Being Announced "Soon" (GAMINGbible)

Regardless, the general consensus when 2K22 released in March this year seemed to be that, yeah, it's pretty good, actually. The PS5 version of the game is ...

In the same call, she also spoke about the success of WWE 2K22, and said that the team were “extremely pleased” with the 2K series’ relaunch: “Innovation and interactivity are critical of the success of any media property. Unfortunately, as of now, that’s all we know about the RPG, but it sounds like we won’t have long to wait until its official announcement. The PS5 version of the game is sitting at a very respectable 77 on Metacritic, with a slightly lower (but still sweet) user score of 7.4. Not bad at all.

WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022: Ranking and grading every match (Sportskeeda)

WWE may not have given WrestleMania Backlash the best build, but the show sure did deliver. This was one of the company's better efforts in 2022, ...

Cody Rhodes was not the runaway Match of the Night because it was that good. The two elite workers exceeded their WrestleMania match with another brilliant effort, which took pieces from it and enhanced the story. However, it does set up a potential third match inside Hell in a Cell, with Rollins having grounds to ask for a rematch. It is a testament to the entire event that Seth Rollins vs. Hopefully, this can help her kick on and enjoy a successful reign atop the SmackDown women's division following WrestleMania Backlash. From kendo stick fights on the stage to ringside brawls and even their fight in the crowd, Flair, and Rousey indeed went for each other. This was one of the company's better efforts in 2022, with no match being an outright flop. This match made up for it, with The Phenomenal One looking more vicious. Their 'I Quit' Match was supremely brutal and took place all around the arena. The former WWE Champion locked Omos in the deadly submission as well, but he got out of it. The two heavyweights slugged it out, with Reigns getting the upper hand on McIntyre by slamming him through the announce table. The future is bright for Madcap Moss in WWE, who still needs a gimmick change.

WWE Seemingly Changes Stakes For Money In The Bank (Inside The Ropes)

WWE may have changed the prize for those competing in the upcoming Money In The Bank ladder matches according to an ad starring Cody Rhodes.

Previously the Royal Rumble winner was guaranteed – more often than not – to be in the main event of WrestleMania where they could challenge for a world championship. Now, previous Money In The Bank matches in WWE have technically afforded stars the opportunity to main event WrestleMania as they could call their shot and pick that as their title match. Previously, winning the Money In The Bank briefcase meant a WWE Superstar had won a title shot any time, anywhere, for the next calendar year.

WrestleMania Backlash: Five headlines coming out of WWE show (GiveMeSport)

WWE's first Premium Live Show since WrestleMania took place last night, as WrestleMania Backlash took place from Rhode Island. The event saw Ronda Rousey…

Referencing a fan at ringside who was dressed as his favourtie former WWE Superstar, McAfee quipped that ‘The Fiend’ is here when the fan came into shot. Yet, if last night is anything to go on, Judgement Day is in for the long haul as they welcomed a new member into the fold. With Edge as the leader, there was always a fear the allegiance with Damian Priest could be shorter lived down to Edge’s lighter WWE schedule. WWE have reported that Flair suffered a fracture of the radius following the armbar that made her tap out and lose her SmackDown crown. Perhaps with the ‘grandest stage of them all’ pressure and time restraints off their backs, each match was given a little bit more time and thought and it resulted in better outings in every encounter. Not only did The Bloodline get the win, but it was The Head of the Table who put the explanation mark on his WWE status by getting the pinfall on Riddle.

WWE Raw preview (May 9, 2022): It's still too soon for Cody Rhodes (Cageside Seats)

Cody Rhodes isn't ready to move on to a title shot against Roman Reigns just yet. Here's everything you need to know heading into the May 9 episode of Raw.

Liv Morgan hasn’t really been a factor in the title scene in a bit. - Asuka stole Becky Lynch’s spotlight two weeks ago when they both returned to WWE television in the same segment. WWE shouldn’t waste any time choosing one of these women as the next in line for a title shot. It seems to me that Cody will have to finish Seth off once and for all inside the cell in four weeks before it’s time to face Roman. Bianca Belair needs a new challenger for the Raw women’s championship. It’s not exactly the kind of impressive finish that screams out Cody is ready for Roman or done with Seth. Seth was seething after the match.

WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022: Every Match Ranked From ... (TheSportster)

WWE WrestleMania Backlash is in the books! Which match was the best on the card, and which bout was skippable?

The final flurry of the match had tons going on that had audiences hooked, and it created chaos in the best way possible. It proved to be a perfect main event, and it had the live crowd going crazy for everything that happened. It wasn't the type of match that fans will be desperate to see again, with this one feeling more like a standard television bout. Nobody was expecting a classic from these two men, and the match that they provided was likely similar to how people thought it would go down. Both men went back and forth in a competitive manner, putting on a fun mid-card match for the show. WrestleMania Backlash only had a short card in comparison to the juggernaut two-night event that took place during WrestleMania 38 weekend.
