There are few performers like Shane McMahon. The son of billionaire wrestling promoter Vince, he took tremendous risks while entertaining fans, and in the process, he became of the of the most over workers in the industry. This, despite having no formal wrestling training. Over the course of his WWE career, McMahon threw his body off of countless structures for the sake of a big pop and a memorable moment. He bled for his craft, went through an unknown number of tables and was even thrown through a glass set at the 2001 King of the Ring. He did all of this despite ...

In what was the go-home show for Extreme Rules, Monday Night Raw was tasked with adding the final touches to a build that has so far been thoroughly entertaining. It was a star-studded evening featuring the return of Ric Flair, an all-out brawl between Evolution and The Shield, and a vintage attack from a rejuvenated Kane. However, the show somehow felt like it lacked that special something—though that is largely due to the great success of previous weeks rather than a failure this time around. Nonetheless, there was plenty to digest. Upon reflection, what do we make of the incidents from Raw? ...

Creepy, sheep mask-wearing children. The Devil's Favorite Demon crawling from the depths of hell to retrieve a Bella Twin. Hornswoggle and El Torito. Magneto and Wolverine. Monday night's Raw was interesting, to say the least, and it set the stage for what should be a very entertaining Extreme Rules this Sunday from the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Shield and Evolution clashed for the last time before their huge main event, with each team gaining the upper hand on the other. Ultimately, the Hounds of Justice stood tall, something that may or may not play into their favor come this ...

Bad News Barrett seems to finally be getting some traction in WWE.  The man who began his career in the company as the suave British heel has now morphed into a very tough yet lighthearted rule-breaker who truly seems to be having a lot of fun working in front of the crowd. While it's still relatively early in Wade Barrett's Bad News gimmick, the fact is that WWE fans seem ready to finally accept the new No. 1 contender for Big E's Intercontinental Championship.  And considering that the man atop WWE is Daniel Bryan, the truth is that Wade has a ...

Just six days away from Extreme Rules, WWE Raw emanated from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. The war between The Shield and Evolution had fuel added to the fire, as "Nature Boy" Ric Flair returned to Raw and publicly endorsed The Hounds of Justice. Enraged, Triple H, Batista and Randy Orton looked to deal out punishment to The Shield. Would Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns be able to withstand the assault, or would they fall at the feet of their Extreme Rules opponents? Bray Wyatt continued to play mind games with John Cena leading into the Steel Cage match this ...

WWE Extreme Rules presents several exciting matchups featuring promising young stars, but the post-WrestleMania pay-per-view is not without its flaws. The Shield and Evolution will clash in what can safely be considered a poor man's dream match. Extreme Rules, like most pay-per-views, pales in comparison to WrestleMania. But WWE has excelled in booking stables as of late, and this gang warfare showdown makes Extreme Rules more of a must-watch event. By the same token, this feud has cast somewhat of a shadow over the early days of Daniel Bryan's WWE world heavyweight title reign, albeit under unique circumstances. Some Bryan fans are already ...

The ongoing Bray Wyatt-John Cena program can be considered a success if for no other reason than that it has rejuvenated Cena’s stagnant and dull character, imbuing it with more depth and seriousness. WWE’s biggest star has been stuck in a rut creatively over the last couple of years. His one-dimensional character was reduced mainly to churning out one unfunny sophomoric joke after another. Regrettably, most of Cena’s tired and cliched material seems to come from the pen of someone who finds dismal films like Grown Ups 2 and Jack and Jill to be the highest peak of comedy. Late last year, Cena also found himself feuding ...

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live WWE Raw coverage for April 28. Extreme Rules is just days away, and this is one of WWE's last chances to sell the feuds that will be featured on the pay-per-view. Daniel Bryan is returning this week following a brutal attack by Kane. The WWE World Heavyweight champion will likely be looking for a way to get some retribution. The Shield systematically took out 11 Superstars over the course of the most recent edition of SmackDown, so Evolution will be looking for a new way to keep the trio at bay. Bray Wyatt has been great in his feud with ...

Everyone remembers their first. In professional wrestling, firsts are historical. A competitor's first match, first win, first WrestleMania, first championship, first title defense and first pay-per-view appearance all make up a major portions of a competitor's resume. They are landmark moments in the career of every Superstar. For Daniel Bryan, his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship defense against Kane at this Sunday's Extreme Rules will be so much more than a landmark moment. It will set the tone for his title reign in a major way and could potentially determine what kind of champion the Aberdeen, Washington, native will be in the ...

From its inception in November of 2012, The Shield has been an act that, heel or babyface, the audience always reacted favorably for. The entrance through the crowd, the edgy theme music and the intimidating appearance make for an appealing package. The Shield is cool, and anytime a performer or group is perceived as being cool, fans will latch on with little hesitation. That Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns have backed up the presentation with consistently great ring work has only helped them gain the respect of the audience. Since turning prior to WrestleMania XXX, their popularity has increased exponentially. The ...
