The 11th annual WWE Tribute to the Troops aired on Saturday, Dec. 28, and provided a great dose of action for WWE fans—all while honoring the men and women of the American military. The holiday event was hosted by Michelle Beadle of Access Hollywood, and big names such as Will Ferrell, Bruce Willis, Ryan Seacrest, Christina Applegate and Stephen Colbert made appearances in one form or another. Grammy-nominated musician Chris Daughtry also highlighted the middle of the event with a performance, as did comedian Jeff Dunham. Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington played host to the event, where quality action for the troops was on ...

In the final full week of 2013, WWE celebrated the Christmas holiday by holding a very festive episode of Raw on Monday night. However, SmackDown was the exact opposite in that it was very wrestling-heavy and featured very little filler, much less any campy comedy. John Cena was prominently featured on WWE programming in the last seven days, as he rivaled against The Shield in six-man tag team action as well as in singles competition. As the new year draws near, when should we expect Cena to be re-entered into the world title picture and receive his rightful rematch for the ...

TNA Wrestling has always been known for pushing the envelope, and another edition of its Hardcore Justice pay-per-view will make the final show of 2013 the most violent of the year.

Add in all the top TNA stars participating at this show—Kurt Angle, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode and more—and this is a show hardcore wrestling fans don’t want to miss. Here is all the vital viewing information TNA fans need, a full slate ...

Throughout the long and illustrious history of World Wrestling Entertainment's Royal Rumble match, some of the greatest Superstars in professional wrestling have delivered match-stealing performances that have become the stuff of legend. Ric Flair's performance in 1992, outlasting some of the biggest stars the industry has ever seen to become WWE champion and Bob Backlund's hour-long run in 1993 are two examples of extremely fit Superstars running the equivalent of a marathon with one goal in mind: leaving with their arms raised in victory. Flair was able to achieve that goal while Backlund fell just short. Diesel's dominant run in 1994 and ...

As we know, the rumors surrounding the return of Dave Batista to the squared circle turned out to be completely true, as the WWE officially announced his comeback on the December 23 edition of Monday Night Raw. Understandably, The Animal is a favorite to win the Royal Rumble—but it’s something that shouldn’t happen. It should be acknowledged that Batista is a huge star with verified box-office appeal and as such certainly deserves a prominent spot on the WrestleMania card. He should be in one of the three main events of the show, just not the one involving the WWE Championship. You see this ...

Every week here on Bleacher Report, I will take an in-depth look at SmackDown, recapping all of the action, offering analysis and grading the matches, segments and anything else that takes place on the show, as well as provide some predictions on the direction of storylines. In just a few days, we will be thinking of champagne toasts, singing a song nobody really knows the words to and wondering what it is 2014 has in store for us. This was the final SmackDown of 2013, and WWE packed the show with eight matches, most of which ended up being way too short to really ...

The final SmackDown of 2013 has come and gone, and it proved to be an action-packed show. John Cena and Big E Langston continued their conflict with The Shield and added a pinch of the World's Strongest Man to really up the ante. Langston would meet Dean Ambrose, Mark Henry would take on Roman Reigns and Cena would cap off the evening's broadcast against the dynamic, trash-talking Seth Rollins. In action elsewhere on the card were Daniel Bryan, Damien Sandow, tag champion Cody Rhodes, Antonio Cesaro and Ryback. With the Royal Rumble upcoming in a few weeks and the star of 2014 four days ...

With the recent news of Dave Batista's return to WWE after a three-year absence, talk has inevitably turned to just what the company intends to do with the star. Is he coming back solely for a WrestleMania appearance, similar to The Rock or Undertaker? Or can we expect to see him regularly throughout 2014? Interestingly, in this week's (subscriber-required) F4W Newsletter, Bryan Alvarez notes that WWE is planning to use the former WWE champion on a long-term basis. He will be returning on the Raw prior to the Royal Rumble, wrestling on that show, and likely winning the event and going on to ...

For WWE fans, there was no bigger Christmas present than the official announcement that Batista is returning to the ring. Images of Divas in Christmas-themed costumes, a fabulous moonsault and Tensai poking fun at himself were all highlights of WWE's social media this week. The most watched and shared viral video of the holiday week was even more enticing than all of those items. On Monday's Raw, WWE made the rumors reality when it announced that Batista was coming back on Jan. 20. The view count and number of likes speak to how excited the video hyping his return made fans. That surprise ...
