Decided to watch the current videos from WWE's channel, and...Jinder Mahal is WWE Champion?
What the f*** else happened while I was gone?!?!

Don't worry, you could have been watching the entire three years and the Jinder title push would still make zero sense to you.

-Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar happened at Wrestlemania for the Universal Championship
-AJ Styles as AJ Styles became WWE Champion in 8 months, beat Cena cleanly as a heel and SD is built upon him
-A brandsplit happened
-Cena is a 16 time world champion
-Kurt Angle wrestled again

In the same ship here. I hadn't watched RAW or Smackdown regularly until fairly recently. I tuned out in 2008 and cut the cord in 2010. I've only seen stuff on youtube and the network.

Vince McMahon is losing his shit over being trolled by the Bullet Club (and more specifically, the Young Bucks).

Ambrose is the only Shield member to become a Grand Slam Champion and he's also the youngest Grand Slam Champion in WWE history.
And The Shield is back together now.

So even better, he won the contendership in a match with... Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Mojo Rawley, Dolph Ziggler and Sami Zayn. And no, it wasn't because all the other top stars on Smackdown died in a tragic accident.

I'd tell you about Bray Wyatt but I don't have time to type out all 14 pages worth of information so I'll stick with the short form: He's Shit.

-Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar happened at Wrestlemania for the Universal Championship What's the Universal Championship? Is that the main title for RAW now? -AJ Styles as AJ Styles became WWE Champion in 8 months, beat Cena cleanly as a heel and SD is built upon him Interesting. Not him beating Cena clean or winning the title, but that he got to keep his name. For better or for worse? -Cena is a 16 time world champion [/Idon'tknowwhatIexpected] -Kurt Angle wrestled again Isn't his neck still held together by scotch tape and bubble gum? All you really need to know is BRRRRAAAAAAUUUUUUUNNN! That's the guy that emerged from garbage, right?

If OP really hasn't watched the WWE in 3 years, why are you guys telling the truth instead of writing stuff like...
- The company is on the verge of being bought by Crackle
- Randy Orton's character is now an incel
- The McMahons are under criminal investigation for money laundering and collusion with a foreign adversary (hint: rhymes with Korth Norea)
- Dolph Ziggler is really hitting his stride

All you really need to know is BRRRRAAAAAAUUUUUUUNNN! That's the guy that emerged from garbage, right? In that order: Yes. It's the same belt as the WWE title except it has red leather and it looks like a fruit rollup in WWE's arena lights. Noone likes it. Yeah WWE is looser on the names thing now. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. They actually started competing to make the better show for a while, but RAW really fell off fast, and Smackdown has SUCKED since Road Dogg became head writer. Expect the 17th to be his last. He pretty much has one foot out the door. Basically. He didn't take too many bumps, and he was pretty much an emergency replacement because Roman and half of the rest of the roster caught meningitis the week of a PPV. Also Yes. He's pretty much booked like he's not human.

New Japan Pro Wrestling is now at worse the 3rd most important promotion in the US and if we're counting t-shirt sales, they're probably 2nd. They pretty much have made their immediate competiton for no. 2 in the US (ROH) into their subservient, dependant American bitch. Both All Japan and Pro Wrestling NOAH are taking turns being their subservient, dependant Japanese bitch and CMLL is forever its subservient, dependant Mexican bitch.
The most popular stable of New Japan, Bullet Club, is even sort of a thing in WWE as many of their former members (AJ Styles, Finn Balor (Prince Devitt), and the tag team of Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows) acknowledge each other loosely as being a part of the same group and still fraternize with their New Japan brothers.
They have Kevin Kelly & Don Callis (Cyrus/The Jackyl) call their major shows on New Japan World. Their shows receive raving reviews.
Oh yeah, their head booker is one-time WCW and ECW visitor Gedo.
WWE thought they would hurt them by stealing the previously mentionned member of Bullet Club and Shinsuke Nakamura, but New Japan just created new stars to replace them.
TNA has changed ownership, direction and names 3-4 times and is currently killing its current owners, The Fight Network. I'll let somebody else explain that whole deal but it involves owls, gold, Jeff Jarrett, a couple bottles of Jack Daniels, The Smashing Pumpkins and Jim Cornette. PWG is still doing great in their bubble. Most of everyone else is starving, but indies pay well enough that WWE isn't always the best paying option.
Something that became big in recent years is wrestling podcasts, of which I can recommand a few: Something To Wrestle with Bruce Prichard which covers classic WWF topics, What Happened When with Tony Schiavone which is its WCW counterpart, the Jim Cornette Experience and the Jim Cornette Drive-Thru, Talk Is Jericho, the Ross Report...
Lots of them. Check out the MLW Network.

Cena's going Hollywood and has become (ironically enough given his comments towards the Rock), a part-timer. A full time departure's not out of the question within the next couple of years. Taker was ostensibly retired by Roman Reigns giving him his second WM defeat at WM33; this is after victories over Bray Wyatt at 31, and Shane McMahon (don't ask) at 32. He's supposedly going to be at the Raw 25th Anniversary show, so maybe a comeback's on the cards.

And a match with Finn Balor where he recklessly forearmed the dude in the face. This in spite of them being in the middle of a concussion lawsuit.
