However, his past encounters at “The Show of Shows” have diminished his in-ring credibility. Despite losing to Roman Reigns in what was considered a final outing, “The Phenom” would be returning to New Orleans tonight to face John Cena. Considering the Undertaker returns to the squared circle again, it would only prove that he is still not done. So if that’s the case, there are tons of superstars who are waiting in line to get an opportunity to dance with the 53-year old....

WWE has confirmed that every active member of the RAW and SmackDown rosters will be involved in the draft, meaning Superstars will be ranked from most wanted to least wanted. If you take a quick scroll through your social media timelines, you will likely find WWE fans explaining why Becky Lynch, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins or “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt should be chosen as the #1 pick in the draft....

A PPV like SummerSlam could very well be the place where something radical happens, which changes the direction of WWE in the short and long term, as well as the futures of certain Superstars. SummerSlam will see several titles being defended, including the Universal title as we will witness a WrestleMania 35 rematch between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins. SummerSlam could possibly see a few surprising returns to WWE, which will only add to the excitement of the show....

The difference this time around is that nobody knows who is showing up at TakeOver. A vignette aired on NXT this week, showing someone breaking into what we can assume is a storage bunker. That person said that they were “coming back” to “take what was theirs.” Their silouette then chucked a pipe into a display and stole an NXT Title. So, the only things we know about this mystery person are the following....

Various Superstars moved from RAW and SmackDown, with some going back and forth over the years, but there have been a few who did not alter their weekly television homes even once. Among the initial draftees in 2016, only a select few have been stuck to a single brand. Of course, this could all change and some of these Superstars could move over during the upcoming WWE Draft, but as of present time, they have remained loyal to one show, even if the infamous Wildcard Rule threatened to ruin everything....

Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news The problem is easily solved with a heel turn. In a world that is made up of good and bad guys, maybe a white meat babyface needs to show a mean streak, to get over with the WWE Universe. Maybe a nasty side of one’s character is more similar to the actual performer than the character he/she is portraying on screen, at the moment....

There are rumors that the salaries are comparable to WWE, and the work schedule is more relaxed than WWE. It seems like a lucrative deal which will be tempting for several superstars from all wrestling promotions. WWE has a stacked roster as of now, due to their aggressive signings throughout 2018. The addition of 205 Live and NXT UK saw more talent being roped in, which has become a problem for WWE....

WWE has gone above and beyond to make the overall product better and while they have largely succeeded in doing so, there are still a few holes the company needs to fill in. One of the biggest holes remaining however is the countless number of stars that are still waiting to be called back to television. While it’s understandable that WWE Superstars go through a cooling-off period after the climax of their respective runs, it also is not a good idea to keep Superstars on the shelf for too long....

A follow-up from last year’s Rumble, the match will give 30 women a chance to prove themselves, as well as earn a shot at either the RAW or SmackDown Women’s Championship. Last year’s winner Asuka won’t be competing, due to her already being a champion, meaning we are guaranteed a new winner in 2019. But with the women’s roster lacking in numbers compared to the men’s roster, there won’t be enough women from the main roster to cover the entire match, and whilst some may appear from NXT, even that may still not be enough....

We’ve seen quite often that not every superstar finds themselves in the top spot, due to which they end up in low level feuds, or in meaningless backstage segments. Due to the fact that we’re talking about releases, lets take a look at those stars who WWE should release soon for the benefit of their careers. #1 Alicia Fox Alicia Fox made her main roster debut a few months late on the blue brand following her signing to WWE back in 2006....

It may not have originated in the WWE, but since Vince McMahon went power crazy and bought out a number of different promotions it has become a part of the WWE lineage. As such, there have been some pretty big names to hold the Championship over the years. With the likes of Ric Flair having numerous reigns over the years, the title has fluctuated between irrelevance and importance so many times that we’ve actually lost count....

Coincidently this week’s episode of the flagship show is the go home episode before the 2018 Backlash pay-per-view, and with most of the narratives, WWE built up for this show has proven to be disappointing. That is why this week on Raw WWE need to pull the proverbial rug from under their fanbases feet by producing a show that doesn’t follow the consequential norm of the usual generic format....

Attendance for the show grows every year, as does the number of foreign fans who fly into Tokyo to watch the event. Wrestle Kingdom has been gaining a reputation for amazing matches each year around, and this year should be no different. Wrestle Kingdom 12 saw the NJPW debut of Chris Jericho, and he’ll be back again for WK13 as ‘Y2J’ defends his IWGP Intercontinental Championship against New Japan’s most popular star Tetsuya Naito....

Referees are like the unsung heroes of this business. They work as hard as the wrestlers, but in return don’t really get the fame like them. While watching a match, we focus on the wrestlers, their amazing moves, and the emotions and stories that they tell inside the ring. But we don’t really care to know which referee is officiating the match. Take a moment and think for yourself, how many WWE referees can you name?...

Randy Orton has also been a member of iconic factions and tag teams such as Evolution, Legacy, and Rated RKO during the course of his WWE career, climbing to the top of the card in the process. But there have been infrequent occasions where the Apex Predator has been on the receiving end of huge upset defeats by lesser-known WWE Superstars. These losses are very rare, but have happened nevertheless....

The therapy session with Rachel Bonetta returned, this time featuring the team of Fire and Desire. Bonetta’s notes revealed that some of her other “patients” thought that Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville were bullies. Deville backed up those claims by threatening the therapist and her belongings. The developments in the storylines involving Becky Lynch and Asuka and Seth Rollins were also analyzed as Buddy Murphy joined Rollins and the AOP on the latest RAW....

Carrick and Giggs combination in central midfield do not work for Manchester United: Major reason for this combination for not to work out is the age factor. With both being above 30 years of age, cannot run up and down the field constantly. They hardly had any co-ordination and displayed a very poor performance. Not only in this game, but also way back in November when Manchester United were hosted by Norwich at Carrow Road, was the same combination in the midfield for Red Devils....

Rowan and The Usos are no strangers to competing on PPV kickoff shows, but the decision to book Bryan in a match on a pre-show broadcast has surprised many fans, especially considering that his WWE Championship encounter with Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35 was widely viewed as the best match of the night. The former WWE champion teamed with Rowan to defeat The Usos for the vacant tag titles on last week’s SmackDown Live, and he mentioned following the show that he wants to create a tag team evolution in WWE, culminating in a main-event match involving the tag division at WrestleMania....

The main focus of the episode was, of course, Khabib Nurmagomedov. ‘The Eagle’ spoke about the various junctures of his life, his father, his rivalry with Conor McGregor, and a potential return to the octagon.

On Friday night, WWE aired its final episode of scheduled programming before the Survivor Series event. SmackDown had everything a go-home episode should have, as not only did we get to witness great matches and segments that set up the events which will unfold on Sunday but also got another great invasion angle to end the transmission. Throughout the night, the company kept giving certain hints as to what fans could expect from the event and the matches that will take place....
