Even though that stacked card consists of dream encounters, championship bouts and universally loved gimmick matches, the main attraction on the card is the biggest Royal Rumble match in the company’s history. 50 men are going to enter the Royal Rumble match, and only one can leave as the victor. Who is going to be the last man to enter at number 50, and how can WWE fully utilize that spot on the card?...
Nexus existed in WWE for a short time but managed to make a big impact that helped several Superstars get a push. While most of the Superstars who were part of Nexus have been released by WWE over the years, there are still a few who have been making it big in the company. During a recent conversation with Danial Ali from The DropKick Podcast, Fred Rosser was asked about his former faction mate, Wade Barrett....
Clash of Champions will see a few mouth-watering clashes with several titles on the line at the Amway Center on September 27, 2020. The WWE and Universal Championships, RAW and SmackDown Tag Team Championships, Women’s Tag Team Championship, as well as the Intercontinetal Championship will be on the line at Clash of Champions. WWE could pull off a few swerves and maybe add a few surprises at the show, perhaps with the return of a few Superstars....
Stomping Grounds is the second last PPV before SummerSlam, which will take place in August, and the storylines built for this show will most likely continue till SummerSlam. The PPV will see seven WWE titles defended, including the WWE Championship, Universal Championship, RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championship, Cruiserweight Championship, SmackDown Tag Team Championship, and United States Championship. There has not been a lot of interesting storylines on WWE television lately, which has shown in the falling ratings and viewership figures on RAW and SmackDown....
In all likelihood, the WWE Universal championship match between the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar and the Big Dog Roman Reigns will main event and close the show. This is one of the most anticipated matches as the WWE Universe, in spite of all the hate on Roman, want him to take the belt of Brock Lesnar. Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news....
Today, we will take a look at five superstars who have had a tough time keeping critics off their backs this season. All five have immense talent and a proven track record, which should help them set the record straight in the second half of the season. Now, without further ado, let’s check out five players who have a point to prove in the second half of the 2021-22 campaign:...
The episode started with Roman Reigns addressing SmackDown’s performance at Survivor Series and then beating Robert Roode in a singles match. The Big Dog then went on to destroy both Dolph Ziggler and Roode. After that, we saw The Firefly Fun House episode in which Wyatt revealed The Fiend’s customized Universal Championship. Furthermore, after beating Mandy Rose in singles action, Nikki Cross was attacked by Fire & Desire and a returning Alexa Bliss made the save....
The reason I bring up this point is because today professional wrestling is more of a business package rather than a test of skill. It is a popularity contest, more than anything else. The primary reason that this is now the case is because of a little thing called merchandise sales. Merchandise has quickly become one of the most important parts of the wrestling business. It allows indy wrestlers to supplement their income and lead comfortable lives without ever working for a huge company like the WWE....
WWE has lined up what could possibly be one of the most historic and biggest WrestleMania events of all time, as a total of 15 matches have been confirmed to take place on the show, including the three Pre-Show Kickoff matches as well. The likes of Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey, Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe, and Bobby Lashley, will head into the event with championship gold around their waist and will defend their respective titles against worthy opponents in the form of Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio, and Finn Balor....
We always think of the call-ups who are coming to the main roster right away after WrestleMania. Guys Like Samoa Joe, Baron Corbin, and Bobby Roode all spent time in NXT and are all now on the main roster. Sadly, some talent won’t be so lucky. For whatever reason, they won’t be called up. Either they are not ready or, they are missing something WWE likes. Let’s take a look at five such stars in NXT....
Many people have succeeded in that spot, putting on classic matches which were part of award-winning feuds (or which won numerous awards and accolades in their own right); today, we look at the flipside: five superstars whose WrestleMania debut left a lot to be desired, and which we’re sure they’d like to try again. #5 Triple H Hunter Hearst Helmsley’s WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania XII against a returning Ultimate Warrior is beyond bad; it’s legendarily bad, to the point that it’s been parodied numerous times onscreen and in-ring in WWE....
We believe that by bringing back certain superstars from the past and from other promotions, Smackdown Live can be the WWE A-Show for sure. Here are some names that we think could really make a huge difference and make Smackdown the show to watch every week. 5- Rey Mysterio Jr. The only thing that Raw is doing better than Smackdown is the Cruiserweight Division. After the reception of the inaugural CWC Tournament and the success of the Cruiserweights on Raw, it was rumored that Smackdown will have its own Cruiserweight Division very, very soon....
This famous quote by a former American baseball player must surely has inspired many a sportsman. In the case of cricket, it is presumably thought to be a young man’s game. However, the very notion has been challenged time and time again by cricketers who have often proved it wrong. Some cricketers who are well above their forties are still playing the game of cricket at an international level. Their youthful exuberance is something extraordinary and they are still playing the game with the same amount of passion....
Hassan Whiteside dominant in the paint Hassan Whiteside’s play has been touch-and-go for the Heat, but last night was different. Whiteside put on a 28-point, 11-rebound performance against the Blazers, getting much of his points inside the paint against Jusuf Nurkic. Whiteside has been known to make double-doubles for the Heat, but if he builds on this performance while on the road with the Heat, it could be a sign of things to come for the big man out of Marshall....
Both Rollins and Kevin Owens had featured segments on Backstage with The Architect giving an honest and transparent interview about a multitude of things. The panel got to look the subject of their criticism right in the eye and he took everything they said and fans have said in his stride. Just like Adam Cole last week, Owens had a therapy session on the show. It appears that those segments will continue on Backstage and that’s fine by me....
However, club owners play a major part in shaping their respective clubs. Their financial support and management make a huge difference in the road to achieving the desired targets for a season. Over the years, we have seen remarkable billionaires purchase clubs and establish them into footballing forces worldwide. Men like Roman Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour are the reasons why Chelsea and Manchester City have made a mark and are now seen as a part of Europe’s elite clubs....
The second half followed the same pattern of Arsenal struggling to create chances while the Clarets continuously pumped long balls into the box. It was only in the 64th minute where a moment of brilliance from Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang put the game to bed. For the first time in 10 years, Arsenal has won their opening two games of a league campaign. Here are five talking points from Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Burnley....
Yankees will be looking to improve their rotation and add more firepower to the already mighty batting lineup. Here I analyse 5 players that the Yankees have to target this off-season. For simplicity sake, I’ll write briefly about the two biggest names in free agency ie., Manny Machado and Bryce Harper and not dive into the details. Manny Machado is arguably the most notable name in the free agency. The short stop played for the Baltimore Orioles before being traded to the Dodgers in the second half of last season....
However, as always, football remains a game of surprises, and there are teams like Everton who began the league in impressive fashion or AC Milan who have quietly shored up their squad and have largely operated under the radar. In this article, we will take a look at five of these refreshing teams in the top five leagues who might surprise us this season. 5 teams in the top five leagues that can surprise us this season #5 Real Betis Real Betis began the La Liga season in perfect fashion following a hard-fought away win over Alaves that came in injury time....
However, France, England and Belgium are also going with some superb players under their banner and it won’t be a matter of surprise if any of these teams went on to lift the trophy by the end of the tournament. But this is football—and it is full of surprises. Just a little over a decade ago, Greece surprised everyone with their triumphant 2004 European Championship campaign. Who’s to say something similar won’t happen this time?...
