With the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line, The Rock should be a surprise entrant in the 2016 Royal Rumble and walk away victorious. The Royal Rumble marks the first step on the road to WrestleMania 32, and this year’s edition of WWE’s biggest show will be held inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, a facility with a capacity of 105,000. Selling out the building would be an all-time attendance record for WWE, and one way to ensure every seat in the stadium remains occupied would be to give The Rock the world title and let him main event the show. There ...

When one looks back at the career of Heath Slater, January 4, 2016 could prove to be a pivotal point for the West Virginian. It was on that night the perennial jobber, a lovable loser if there ever was one, defeated Dolph Ziggler in a massive upset and took leadership of a group of similar Superstars he dubbed The Social Outcasts. While some may refer to the group as a modern-day equivalent of Al Snow's J.O.B. Squad, what the newly formed faction represents is second chance for Slater to make a first impression. Rewind the clocks back to 2010. World Wrestling Entertainment had ...

Had 2015 not played out the way it did, the return of John Cena just weeks before the Royal Rumble would surely suggest he would've been among the front-runners to come out on top in the event's traditional Battle Royal main event. However, last year demonstrated Cena is no longer the perennial main event attraction he once was. There's clearly an attempt being made to build a new crop of top-tier competitors, and it remains to be seen whether the 15-time world champion still holds a position at the top of the card. Despite all this, Cena will unquestionably play a major role at ...

1. United on WWE's Bottom Rung Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas and Adam Rose's hodgepodge group of also-rans, underdogs and misfits will make a bigger impact than expected. The recipe is simple: Combine talented but incomplete wrestlers starving for a shot at success, let that real-life frustration bleed over into their on-screen roles and give them some airtime to experiment. Then sit back and see what happens. Slater converged with his fellow bottom feeders on Monday's Raw, dubbing them "The Social Outcasts." The alliance felt random, a jerry-built faction thought up at the last minute, but it paid off right away. WWE's fanbase ...

A fleeting appearance at NXT TakeOver: London aside, Triple H has done a pretty impressive job of selling the beating Roman Reigns handed out to him at TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs in December.  But with a crucial period for the company just around the corner, you feel The Game will be back on TV screens within the next couple of weeks. Whether he returns at January 24's Royal Rumble pay-per-view or before or after that, it won't be long until The Authority is restored to a full quota with Triple H back on TV. But what are the best ways to bring him ...

The upcoming Royal Rumble pay-per-view on Jan. 24 is one of WWE's biggest of the entire year, and it's vital that the company gets some crucial decisions right to set itself up for WrestleMania season. The marquee Royal Rumble match is the most crucial match of the entire night in terms of key booking decisions, but the rest of the card also needs to be set up correctly to ensure a successful night. In particular, Roman Reigns' future needs to be decided over the coming weeks, with the Royal Rumble being a likely focal point. Here's what WWE has to do to ensure ...

Women's wrestling has certainly taken a hit in WWE over the last two weeks, thanks in large part to the holiday season leading to NXT's inactivity and the main roster's Creative team focusing on one primary story alone. Charlotte and Becky Lynch continued to steal headlines with their quality, layered feud, but that came at the expense of the rest of the roster, which has suddenly taken a backseat. Sure, Team Bella's Alicia Fox and Brie Bella battled Team B.A.D.'s Naomi and Tamina on the New Year's Eve episode of SmackDown, but given the lack of viewership and overall importance of that ...

2015 was a banner year for the NXT brand. Many firsts took place both in and out of the ring, and the men and women of the developmental system will be honored with the first NXT Year-End Awards on January 13. NXT is where hopeful Divas and Superstars perfect their craft before going to the main roster, but the developmental brand often seemed like it was more enjoyable than Raw and SmackDown over the past 12 months. One of the main reasons why it's so easy to love the brand is because it only airs for one hour each week. Nobody gets ...

A new era for SmackDown will dawn Thursday night as the show debuts on USA Network. Fans in Laredo, Texas, got a sneak peak of what the WWE Universe can expect from the big show as the company presented this week's tapings live in the Laredo Energy Center. John Cena returned to the blue brand and, understandably so, had a few choice words for United States champion Alberto Del Rio. But would the Mexican-born star be willing to grant Cena another shot at his title, or would The League of Nations member deny the WWE franchise star his opportunity to wrest ...

AJ Styles headlines the latest crop of WWE rumors as the potential centerpiece of a New Japan Pro Wrestling talent raid.  Are Styles and a handful of fellow NJPW stars really bound for WWE? That certainly sounds like the kind of thing that floats around the Internet only to lead to nowhere. Is this a case of wrestlers trying to gain leverage in contract negotiations, or just smoke without any fire? One report suggested that Styles and Company are actually preparing to make their way to WWE. Other online rumblings include information about Chris Jericho's current run, James Storm's potential return to TNA and ...
