Killer Mike Talks Pro Wrestling and Hip-Hop’s Deep Connection

3-time Grammy Award-winning rapper Killer Mike had a killer time at WWE Bad Blood over the weekend, and says the bond between pro wrestling and hip-hop runs deep.

Mike was ringside for the action this past weekend, along with other celebrities including Quavo, Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, and more. He sat directly next to WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg, and touted the former WWE & WCW Champion as someone who was just “perfect” for wrestling.

Mike spoke to Variety about his experience attending the show, and delved into the deep connection between pro wrestling and Hip-Hop.

He describes them both as forms of theater for working-class people, a comparison we’ve heard before from other longtime fans of both genres. He also reflected on how growing up, kids who weren’t into mainstream sports often gravitated toward wrestling, comic books, or Hip-Hop.

“It’s working-class people’s theater. It gives us an opportunity to get our sh*t off, whether it’s our highest ambitions or lowest of the lows. These characters represent that for us.”

– Killer Mike on the Pro Wrestling & Hip-Hop connection

Mike added that WWE has consistently produced a great product and expressed his lifelong love for wrestling:

“WWE put together some dope product. I’ve enjoyed it my entire life — shout-out to my wrestling heads.”

Killer Mike is recognized as one of several popular rappers who incorporate pro wrestling references into their lyrics alongside artists like Wale, Action Bronson and Westside Gun. His song “Ric Flair” off his 2011 album Pledge uses wrestling imagery to convey a positive message about overcoming life’s obstacles.

He spoke with Peter Rosenberg ahead of WWE Bad Blood and He equated winning a Grammy Award earlier this year to Dusty Rhodes winning his first World Championship.

Why WWE is Sticking With Five-Match Cards for Premium Live Events

Under the watch of Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, WWE’s main roster has undergone several changes, with one of the biggest coming to the PLE cards. Once stacked with matches, most modern-day PLEs now have five matches, in a decision that has divided opinion. While some appreciate these shorter, more concise PLEs, there are those who feel that deserving talent are missing out and are having their biggest matches relegated to TV.

WWE has a variety of reasons for sticking with five matches for Premium Live Events, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reports. The shorter card has significantly reduced the costs of these events, as fewer Superstars mean fewer travel costs. Wrestlers not booked for these events now enjoy an extra day off, a rarity to many considering WWE’s weekend house shows, though TKO intends to scale back on WWE live events.

While the five-card shows mean fewer Superstars are traveling, there are still some who attend a PLE even if they’re not competing. WWE has been using backstage segments to get people on the show, which also includes the use of legends, as seen at WWE Bad Blood 2024. WWE has started producing packets for younger wrestlers to let them know the legends in attendance if they want to ask questions or seek advice.

The WWE Universe can expect more changes in January of next year when WWE Raw moves to Netflix as part of a lucrative, decade-long deal. With Triple H being unsure about the duration of Raw on Netflix, fans will have to stay tuned to see what’s to come in the future for WWE and its broadcasts.

DDP Inks WWE Legends Deal Following Bad Blood Appearance

WWE is once again going to “feel the bang” as DDP has signed a legends deal with the company. Cody Rhodes’ ‘Nightmare Family’ crew is finding themselves into the WWE fold as ‘The Master Of The Diamond Cutter’ announced via social media that he put pen to paper on a WWE legends deal.

Dallas was a prominent presence last night at WWE Bad Blood as he was shown hanging out in a “Superstar” suite before they showed the WWE Hall of Famer sitting at ringside for the PLE alongside several other legends including Mickie James and Scott Steiner. A former rival Goldberg nearly got physical with WWE World Champion GUNTHER as well.

Page kept his ties to Cody Rhodes all the way back at the Royal Rumble earlier this year when Dallas sat in the post-show media scrum for Cody after ‘The American Nightmare’ won the 30-man match.

Despite his kindship with Cody, Page has his ties all over the mainstream wrestling world as WCW’s “People’s Champion” is proactive in the wellness of both legends and modern talent alike. Dallas has notoriously helped names like Jake Roberts and Scott Hall on their roads to sobriety in addition to helping current stars bounce back like Drew McIntyre, Darby Allin and Big Bill.

Another ‘Nightmare Family’ name who was in attendance for WWE Bad Blood was WWE Hall Of Famer Arn Anderson who has been a prominent presence at the side of Rhodes both in AEW and WWE. On the latest episode of “ARN”, ‘The Enforcer’ revealed that as of that recording, he was not under a legends deal with WWE, but it remains to be seen if he signed a deal while in Atlanta this past Saturday.

Triple H Comments On Goldberg’s Future After WWE Bad Blood Appearance

WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H recently addressed speculation over WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg returning to in-ring action.

At last night’s WWE Bad Blood PLE, Triple H announced the WWE Crown Jewel Championship matches for the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther made his way into the ring and took shots at Goldberg, who was in attendance for the show.

Apart from several other shots, ‘The Ring General’ called him one-trick pony and provoked him. Goldberg stepped over the barricade and teased a potential brawl. However, the security stopped him. Gunther’s challenger Sami Zayn arrived and attacked the champ to end the segment.

During the post-show Press Conference, Triple H was asked about the possibility of Goldberg returning to the ring for a match. ‘The Game’ said that time catches up with everyone and chances of stepping foot in the ring become slim. However, he believes in the popular saying, ‘never say never’ in WWE.

“Atlanta loves Bill Goldberg and that’s why he was here tonight with his wife and his son. Always going to get a huge reaction enjoying the show. Things get said. I can tell you when Bill came back, he was not too happy with Gunther. We’ll see. The further you go, time catches up with all of us, right? The further you go, those talks get further and further away from reality. I saw Bill earlier in the day and it was great. I saw Bill later in the day and there was a different look on his face with a spark in his eye. I would say never say never.”

Goldberg has had multiple runs with WWE during his career. His initial run was a brief one from 2003 to 2004. He then returned in 2016 and had a feud with Brock Lesnar. He also captured the WWE Universal Championship during the run. He was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. The 57-year-old wrestler fought his last match for WWE at Elimination Chamber 2022 when he lost to Roman Reigns. It is to be seen if Goldberg decides to step inside the ring again.

Triple H: The Rock Can Do What He Wants, We’re Grateful to Have Him

In the closing moments of WWE Bad Blood 2024, The Rock returned to WWE, fulfilling a promise to come for Cody Rhodes made on the post-WrestleMania 40 episode of Raw. As a leading man in Hollywood with multiple business ventures to his name, The Rock’s WWE appearances are few and far between, but when can fans next expect to see The Final Boss?

On the WWE Bad Blood 2024 post-show press conference, WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque was asked about The Rock and his potential future appearances.

“The Rock’s The Rock, and he’s going to be able to do, whether we were on the air, off the air, still rolling cameras, not rolling cameras, he kinda does what he wants to do when he wants to do it. That’s the cool thing about being the Final Boss, I think. He’s The Rock; he can do what he wants to do.”

Levesque also shared his gratitude to The Rock for making time for WWE within his busy schedule and for remembering where his media dominance first began.

“With everything he’s got going on in his career and his life, to never have looked away from what brought him to the dance [is admirable.] Any time that we’re at a place where he can take 30 seconds out of his incredible schedule to come back and feel that electricity that you can only get in WWE, he does it and I’m thrilled for that and thankful to him for that.”

There are expectations that The Rock will be featured in the run-up to WrestleMania 41, as plans are reportedly in place for the Final Boss to compete next April. In the meantime, fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for The Final Boss as his issues with Cody Rhodes are clearly far from over.

Triple H Addresses Black Representation On WWE PLEs

Triple H made clear that he doesn’t look at talent by race nor gender when booking main event matches for WWE.

Paul Levesque fielded questions in the WWE Bad Blood post-show press conference and was asked about WWE not having black male wrestlers not being in a main event program since 2023 or black talent not appearing on the card at WWE Bad Blood. WWE’s Chief Content Officer gave the media perspective on how he lays out a PLE card.

“I don’t see the difference in anybody. I don’t see the color, I don’t see the nationality, I don’t see any of it, I see talent. I don’t see the difference between men and women. I see talent. We tell stories with those talent, how they can handle those stories and how they can represent those stories and how we can bring those stories forward so I don’t keep track of any of that. I do what’s relevant and what is best and the best in storytelling and what’s being delivered the best and then that’s what goes … whatever the biggest stories are, that’s where we go.”

While no black talent were on the card for WWE Bad Blood, Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair and Naomi all played hosts to the PLE festivities as WWE kicked off a five-match show in Atlanta. A great deal of WWE’s lack of black representation came to light after Swerve Strickland made comments about WWE, stating how he believed company officials didn’t like to see black talent get paid big money.

Kevin Owens Snaps, Attacks Cody Rhodes In Parking Lot After WWE Bad Blood

WWE Bad Blood 2024 went off the air with Cody Rhodes standing tall, but the Undisputed WWE Champion was left reeling after the PLE. In the main event, Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu, thanks to an assist from the returning Jimmy Uso. In the closing moments of the show, The Rock returned and stared down Reigns, Rhodes, and Uso from the entrance ramp.

In fan-recorded footage from Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, Rhodes and Owens can be seen having heated words before Owens strikes the Undisputed WWE Champion. Not finished, the Prizefighter pummelled Rhodes outside the latter’s tour bus before security intervened.

Tensions had been growing between Rhodes and Owens for weeks on WWE SmackDown, with the Canadian taking issue with Rhodes’ willingness to team with Roman Reigns. Owens has his own painful history with Reigns, including defeats to the Original Tribal Chief at the Royal Rumble in both 2021 and 2023.

Owens challenged Rhodes for the gold at WWE Bash in Berlin, and much was said about their friendship and Owens’ lack of championship gold as of late in the run-up to their showdown in Germany. With Owens betraying his former friend, Rhodes now has another adversary to deal with on SmackDown. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the fallout of this attack.

The Rock Speaks On Instagram After WWE Bad Blood

The Rock was full of “mana” after making a surprise appearance to close out WWE Bad Blood in Atlanta and ‘The People’s Champion’ spoke after the PLE.

Dwayne Johnson went live on his Instagram after shocking Atlanta by walking out to stare down Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns after the two got a victory against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

The Rock was strutting his stuff backstage at WWE but did note the following:

““The final boss is feeling a lot of things and there’s a bunch of s*** that’s been going on in the past six months.”

Johnson was also walking past production trucks and more while he saw plenty of familiar faces plastered on said trucks. The first one he took note of was Steve Austin, noting that he’d want to enjoy a tequila and beer with the ‘Texas Rattlesnake.’ He then also saw a picture of John Cena and made the Fruity Pebbles reference after seeing a picture of Dusty Rhodes. The Rock had some quick words for the late ‘The American Dream.’

“I love you, I hate your son.”

The Rock began jamming to ZZ Top as he walked to his vehicle and drove off. Johnson was last seen on WWE programming on the WWE Raw after WrestleMania where he and Cody Rhodes “traded” titles before The Rock handed Cody something and whispered something to him.

Johnson wasn’t the only one to make a return at Bad Blood. Jimmy Uso made a surprise return in an effort to help Reigns and Rhodes secure the win against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

The Rock Returns In Electifying Climax Of WWE Bad Blood 2024

WWE Bad Blood 2024 went off the air in electrifying fashion with the return of The Rock inside the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. In the main event of the show, Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns defeated The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu thanks to an assist from the returning Jimmy Uso. After the match, the Bloodline assaulted Rhodes, prompting Jimmy and Reigns to come to the aid of their unlikely ally.

The trio of Rhodes, Reigns, and Uso were able to fend off The Bloodline, with Sikoa, Fatu, Tonga, and Loa escaping through the crowd. It was at this point that The Rock made his return and stared down the three men in the ring.

Rumors of The Rock’s return at Bad Blood had circulated after Pat McAfee spoke of ‘The Big Guy’ returning during an episode of his show with Cody Rhodes. The Rock had teased coming for Rhodes during the post-WrestleMania 40 edition of RAW. Now that The Rock’s back, it remains to be seen what role he’ll play in The Bloodline and their issues with Rhodes, Reigns, and now, Jimmy Uso.

Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on The Rock after his stunning return at WWE Bad Blood 2024.

Raquel Rodriguez Returns, Aids The Judgment Day At WWE Bad Blood 2024

Rhea Ripley’s efforts to finally get retribution on Liv Morgan went up in flames at WWE Bad Blood 2024, courtesy of the returning Raquel Rodriguez.

In the penultimate match of the night, Ripley challenged WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. With Dominik Mysterio confined to a shark cage suspended in the air, Ripley dominated Morgan and it appeared that a new champion would be crowned at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

Things went from bad to worse for ‘Dirty Dom’ as his efforts to aid Morgan resulted in him dangling by his foot from the floor of his cage. Taking a break from Liv, Ripley delivered some painful kendo stick shots to Dominik before Rodriguez attacked Ripley. This attack resulted in Ripley winning by disqualification, meaning that Liv Morgan is still the Women’s World Champion.

Rodriguez had been out of action since February and has been battling Mast Cell Activation Syndrome this year. MCAS is a condition in which the patient experiences repeated episodes of the symptoms of anaphylaxis, such as allergies. These episodes may include hives, swelling, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and severe diarrhea.

Rodriguez has a history with Liv Morgan and the pair are former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. It remains to be seen if Rodriguez will be officially brought in as the Judgment Day’s newest member, but her intervention at Bad Blood certainly proved fortunate for Liv Morgan and her reign as WWE Women’s World Champion.  

Liv Morgan retains against Rhea Ripley at WWE Bad Blood 2024

Liv Morgan has retained her WWE Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley at WWE Bad Blood 2024 tonight.

Morgan and Ripley competed with Dominik Mysterio hanging from a shark cage above the ring, yet he was still able to affect proceedings…

Dom was hanging upside down from the cage when Ripley attacked him with a kendo stick. Raquel Rodriguez then appeared and attacked Ripley causing the match to be thrown out and Liv to retain.

Damian Priest Pays Homage To Scott Hall At WWE Bad Blood

Damian Priest was a “Lone Wolf” at WWE Bad Blood, but he persevered like his hero Scott Hall against Finn Balor.

The deck was stacked against Priest as he took it to his nemesis in a singles fight that was third on the card at Bad Blood, as Carlito and JD McDonagh interfered but Damian channeled ‘The Bad Guy’ both visually and physically in the ring to pick up the win.

Priest sauntered out in Atlanta decked out in homage to ‘The Outsider’ as Priest’s jacket had the signature blood drips that Hall wore in his NWO days alongside Kevin Nash. Priest also had blood dripping down his pants as well as his boots, but he also was sure to honor Hall with in-ring arsenal. Priest hit a Razor’s Edge on Balor not just on the canvas, but on the apron in an effort to defeat his former friend.

Priest ultimately fended off the likes of McDonagh, Carlito and Finn’s Coup de Grace to hit a South of Heaven and get the 1-2-3, perhaps ending the two’s feud which would allow Priest to move on to a fresh set of opponents.

Both Priest and CM Punk paid their respective tribute to notorioius Kliq members at WWE Bad Blood. Punk actually had Shawn Michaels-themed trunks complete with HBK’s Bad Blood color scheme and signature “broken heart” logo. The WWE stars who wear Kliq-themed attire ended up undefeated in Atlanta as Punk also defeated Drew McIntyre in his Hell in A Cell match earlier in the evening.

Damian Priest defeats Finn Balor at WWE Bad Blood 2024

Damian Priest managed to get the win against Finn Balor during the Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event tonight.

Priest was regarded as the heavy favourite by the oddsmakers before the show went live, so it wasn’t a huge shock when he got the win.

Damian got the win after grabbing Balor in midair from the top rope and hitting the South of Heaven for the pinfall.

CM Punk Pays Tribute To Shawn Michaels At WWE Bad Blood

CM Punk followed in the footsteps of Shawn Michaels at WWE Bad Blood in more ways than one as ‘The Second City Saint’ tipped the cap to HBK.

Just like Shawn Michaels did at the very first Bad Blood, CM Punk got the win against his adversary in Drew McIntyre in a Hell In A Cell match. The match was brutal and bloody as Punk and McIntyre fought tooth and nail to get the better of one another, but it was Punk who came up on top after he wrapped his knee with a chain to execute a devastating GTS to pick up the 1-2-3.

Punk’s victory comes 27 years to the day since Shawn Michaels defeated The Undertaker in the very first Hell In A Cell and that wasn’t lost on the victor. Punk came out in his usual style of attire but with a bit of a twist.

Michaels happened to wear black and silver longboys for his battle against ‘The Deadman’ and Punk followed suit with his signature Chicago starred trunks with the same color scheme. However, one of those stars was replaced with an HBK heart in a subtle tribute to the current operator of WWE NXT.

Since his return to WWE, Punk has formed a friendship with Michaels as he happens to pay visit down in NXT on the regular. His most recent visit happened in a big way as he was the special guest refereee for the main event match between Ethan Page and Trick Williams. Punk’s appearance occured in Chicago and it went down on the very first episode of NXT on The CW.

CM Punk wins hellacious Hell in a Cell match at WWE Bad Blood 2024

CM Punk defeated Drew McIntyre at tonight’s WWE Bad Blood Premium Live Event to kick off the show from State Farm Arena.

The blood feud between the two men saw the company bring back the Hell in a Cell gimmick for them to finish the feud. Punk claimed before the show that he was looking to bring back the dangerous nature of the match, and both he and McIntyre delivered.

Punk would get the win after hitting the GTS on McIntyre. All of the action stayed inside of the Cell but it was bloody and brutal.

Goldberg Confronts GUNTHER At WWE Bad Blood

The stars and pro wrestling legends were sure out for WWE Bad Blood and it included “Da Man” Bill Goldberg.

Bad Blood kicked off with CM Punk squaring off against Drew McIntyre in a Hell In A Cell but there was a good deal of pomp and circumstance beforehand. Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair kicked off the festivities before the show was swung to Michael Cole and Corey Graves on commentary. The duo made sure to mention that Atlanta was the place to be this evening as they made note of some dignitaries at ringside. That’s when WWE showed that Goldberg was sitting ringside. Goldberg gave a smile as he was shown on camera.

Goldberg was sandwiched in between his son Gage and hip-hop artist Killer Mike who Goldberg showed some friendly affection for. Goldberg’s recent relationship with WWE hasn’t been ultimate as he was very vocal about how Vince McMahon had did him dirty, promising him a retirement match he never received.

Goldberg’s appearance is only several weeks removed from Bret Hart’s appearance on WWE Raw in Calgary. It was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER who mocked ‘Hitman’ by saying that Goldberg was his preferred wrestler over the ‘Excellence of Execution.’

Leave it to GUNTHER to spoil the party as Triple H later came out to announce a Crown Jewel Champion as it will be ‘Champion vs. Champion’ at the next Saudi Arabia PLE. GUNTHER was swift to try and disparage Goldberg despite his initial praise on RAW, calling him a “one trick pony” and having questionable parenting abilities. That got Goldberg out of his seat as he got in the ring to square off against GUNTHER, but Sami Zayn came out to attack his upcoming opponent. After the chaos, Triple H raised the hand of Goldberg as ‘Da Man’s’ music played. Goldberg also said to the camera “You’re next, boy,” teasing a potential feud with the champ.

As mentioned Goldberg has quite the history in Atlanta. He played for the Atlanta Falcons back in the early 1990s before making the transition to wrestling where he notoriously won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Hulk Hogan in the Georgia Dome back in 1998.

Other legends in attendance for WWE Bad Blood are The Brainbusters in Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard.

WWE Talent “Expect” Massive Star to Appear at Bad Blood

WWE talent are reportedly “expecting” a massive Superstar to make an appearance tonight on the WWE Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event.

According to a new report from Fightful Select, several names backstage are expecting The Rock to appear in some form this evening:

“There is a lot of buzz about The Rock appearing at tonight’s event, and WWE doesn’t exactly make it a secret when he’s near, as they want people to tune in. The Rock has been in Georgia, was at a high school football game last night 80 minutes away, and talent we’ve spoken to expect him to appear.”

Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley Both make Big Claims about Feud ahead of WWE Bad Blood

Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley have made some big claims ahead of their match at WWE Bad Blood 2024 tonight from State Farm Arena.

Speaking to Jackie Redmond ahead of the show, Morgan claimed that if she wins tonight then the feud between her and Ripley will be over:

“She likes to claim that the only reason I’ve been able to beat her twice is because of Daddy Dom, and like you said, he’s going to be locked in a shark cage, so when I beat her again for this third and final time, there’s no more excuses that she can say. So when I beat Rhea Ripley at Bad Blood, it’s safe to say that the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour will finally be over.”

Ripley also noted on the UpUpDownDown Fanatics Auction stream that she does not want to still be in a feud with Morgan when asked who she wants to face at WrestleMania next year, saying “I’ve seen people predicting Liv but I want to be done with that now.”

Why CM Punk needs to beat Drew McIntyre at WWE Bad Blood 2024

The highly anticipated WWE Bad Blood 2024 event is set to feature a brutal Hell in a Cell match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, bringing their intense 9-month rivalry to a climax.

As these two superstars prepare to wage war inside the unforgiving steel structure, there are compelling reasons why CM Punk needs to emerge victorious in this career-defining clash.

The Road to Redemption

CM Punk’s return to WWE has been a rollercoaster ride, filled with both triumphs and setbacks. His rivalry with Drew McIntyre has been particularly tumultuous, with both men inflicting physical and emotional damage on each other.

Overcoming Past Defeats

While Punk scored a victory over McIntyre in their Strap Match at WWE Bash in Berlin, he suffered a controversial loss at SummerSlam due to interference from special guest referee Seth Rollins.

A win at Bad Blood would allow Punk to even the score and prove that he can overcome McIntyre in a definitive manner.

Setting Up Future Opportunities

A win over Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood could open up exciting new avenues for CM Punk’s near future career trajectory in WWE.

World Heavyweight Championship Aspirations

CM Punk has already teased a potential clash with Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, likely to take place at Survivor Series. 

A decisive victory over McIntyre would solidify Punk’s claim as the number one contender and set the stage for this highly anticipated title match.

Elevating the Hell in a Cell Stipulation

CM Punk has expressed a desire to bring back the old feeling of the Hell in a Cell match, which he feels has been “bastardised” in recent years. 

A brutal, hard-fought victory could help restore the prestige and intensity associated with this legendary stipulation.

Narrative Closure

The feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has been deeply personal, involving stolen mementos, vicious attacks, and career-altering moments. A definitive end to this rivalry is necessary for both performers to move forward.
