Stephanie McMahon's scathing promo on the Miz this past week on Raw could have passed for a shoot promo given its level of honesty. As McMahon took the stage, cutting down the Miz for his career stagnation, the WWE vice president fulfilled her objective of building heat for herself.  Unfortunately, the execution of this otherwise simple goal was comparable to killing an ant with a sledgehammer.  In an art-imitating-life segment of MizTV, McMahon described the Miz as a "utility player" who "peaked too early." Considering Miz's precipitous decline since defending the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXVII once upon a time, it's understandable how one ...

Randy Orton has truly returned to his own heel self, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Since 2012, the Apex Predator has floundered, which culminated in a few key losses in the first half of 2013. Orton failed to win the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber. He also lost to The Shield at WrestleMania 29 and at Payback in tag team matches. His biggest loss, arguably, happened on the June 23 edition of Raw. Orton fought Daniel Bryan in a classic free-television match with no disqualifications. Orton tapped out to the Yes Lock, and at that point, it appeared Orton ...

The Thursday, September 26 edition of TNA Impact! Wrestling, which aired live from Little Rock, Ark., opened with the usual video package recapping Aces and Eights' group problems and the new feud between AJ Styles and Dixie Carter. Carter was shown walking towards the arena. Sting told Carter that he was shocked at what happened last week with her confrontation with Styles. Carter replied back to Sting, telling "The Icon" that she will handle the station with Styles on her own. Immediately after, Bully Ray and Miss Tessmacher came out to the ring. Ray spoke first about Carter, announcing that he was ...

There is a new show on the way in WWE. Battleground is its name, and the theme of this event has not yet been revealed; however, it should prove to be an interesting addition to the calendar. This is due to the fact that it is succeeded by Hell in a Cell and the timeless classic, Survivor Series. All three have a sort of action-packed sound to them, and nothing screams more "action-packed" than a good old championship match.  So far, only the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships are up for grabs on this card, and from the looks of it, both are very likely to find ...

Former WWE Diva Tammy "Sunny" Sytch doesn't seem to think too highly of today's current crop of women, judging by her comments in a recent radio interview. As Wrestling Inc notes, Sytch complained  to VOC Wrestling Nation that the vast majority of the Divas in WWE today lacked real passion or knowledge for the business: With the exception of Nattie Neidhart, heart and passion for the business is missing. Nattie is in the business because she loves the business, not because she's using it as a stepping stone for something else. The others, look what happens when their contract expires: They look ...

Believe it or not, WWE Battleground is just two weeks away as the WWE looks to roll out three pay-per-views in a one-month span. With Hell in a Cell and Survivor Series on the horizon, it is unlikely that the Bryan-Orton saga sees a happy ending at a first-time pay-per-view. Bryan’s chase will probably continue, and WWE would be wise not to pull any punches to prevent another refund situation. Both Brie Bella and AJ Lee seem to be making babyface turns, as they continue to be antagonized by the corporation. Perhaps this unlikely alliance could team up for a pay-per-view match ...

Friday's WWE SmackDown appears to be building toward Battleground indirectly. Ryback, CM Punk, Rob Van Dam and Daniel Bryan aren't scheduled for action and the other Superstars booked for that rapidly approaching pay-per-view face different opponents. Randy Orton takes on a man he recently put out of action while Alberto Del Rio battles one of the babyfaces involved in the 11-on-3 handicap from Monday's Raw. Elsewhere, the Divas champ continues to take on the cast of Total Divas and the tag team division gets highlighted. Without giving away the results, here are the matches fans can expect to see on Friday's SmackDown.   Dean Ambrose vs. ...

The September 25 edition of NXT was jam-packed from start to finish. Sami Zayn picked up another big win to continue on his path to the NXT Championship, while current titleholder Bo Dallas threw yet another obstacle in his way. The No. 1 contenders to the Tag Team Championship would be determined in a Tag Team Turmoil match featuring Colin Cassidy and Enzo Amore, Scott Dawson and Alexander Rusev, The Ascension and a pairing of unlikely partners. Summer Rae would accompany newfound friend/pawn Sasha Banks to the ring for her match with Bayley, while Aiden English would continue his crusade to bring true ...

In a Q&A session over at his official blog, former WWE announcer Jim Ross has firmly ruled out going to TNA. When asked by one fan if he would ever consider joining America's No. 2 promotion as a commentator or backstage official, Ross simply replied, "No interest whatsoever at this time. Moving on to other things." The remark comes after weeks of speculation about Ross's future in wrestling. Many fans had wondered whether Ross, now a free agent, could potentially be open to going to TNA and announcing for flagship show iMPACT.  In an interview with British newspaper The Daily Star last week, ...

AJ Lee vs. Paige is a dream Divas feud that need not be confined to dreams. WWE's two female champions are too popular, too talented and too complementary to not have collided onscreen. Picking who might next challenge Curtis Axel for the Intercontinental title or who would most benefit Bray Wyatt in the ring are dilemmas that could be dissected and discussed at length. However, the question of how best to move forward in the Divas division is a no-brainer. In sports, there's no guarantee that the two best teams face off, no guarantee that the fight that the fans want materializes. Injuries, ...
