AJ Styles makes WWE comic writing debut with WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Special
Boom! Studios has announced that WWE Superstar AJ Styles is set to make his WWE comics writing debut in the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Special one-shot comic, where he will tag up with co-writer Michael Kingston (Headlocked) to tell the story of his “phenomenal” debut in WWE.

Undertaker hurting backstage after Royal Rumble! Sasha Banks heel turn soon…
A week or two ago, PWInsider reported that there’s backstage talk in WWE of moving Michael Cole to a more behind-the-scenes role. It’s probably a good idea. At WWE’s current rate of announcer acquisition, we’ll have 19 man booths by the end of the year. Which doesn’t just clutter the onscreen product. It’s also a […]
Why Randy Orton won the Royal Rumble, AJ Styles “not happy” with WWE poster…
Despite the reports last week that Randy Orton would win the Royal Rumble match…from outta nowhere…I didn’t take Dave Meltzer’s advice. Instead I put my money on a hot tip I got from The Bulgarian George Clooney Rusev, when he leaked the Royal Rumble result on Twitter on the day of the show. “Wow this […]
Royal Rumble winner rumors, will Kenny Omega make his WWE debut?
This year’s Royal Rumble tagline plays off its Alamodome venue. Instead of ‘Remember the Alamo! It’s ‘Remember the Rumble!’ I tell you what I remember. That first poster WWE put out for the event with AJ Styles right at the back. Smackdown worked this oversight into Styles’ promo with John Cena this week, with AJ […]
Roman Reigns talks WWE heel turn, major WWE return for Royal Rumble?
Imagine my delight the other day when – on browsing the website for my favourite Chilean nightclub Justos y Pecadores – I found current WWE tag team champion Cesaro advertised for one of their ‘Sensual Parties’. I knew Cesaro spoke many languages. I didn’t know one of them was SEXINESS. A fan pointed out the […]
Batista shoots on WWE, Shawn Michaels wants Samoa Joe match…
With everyone speculating and fantasy booking who the surprise entrants in this weekend’s Royal Rumble are going to be, I’m going to rule at least one person out: Big Dave Batista. Despite making his WWE return when winning 2014’s Royal Rumble match (screw you Big Dave Batista!), he was still booed out of the building […]
Kurt Angle Royal Rumble return “not gonna happen,” TNA taping “disaster”…
Goldberg took the phrase ‘cutting a promo’ a bit too literally on this week’s Raw, where his pre-match ritual of headbutting a locker to psyche himself up busted open his forehead. Quite wisely for the 50-year-old, he’s going to stop doing that from now on: “I’m putting the pre match headbutt on the shelf for […]
