John Cena was believed by many fans to be coming back in time for a WrestleMania 32 match with the legendary Undertaker. It is one of the few remaining dream bouts in the industry, and seeing these two WWE icons would have undoubtedly been a major draw for pro wrestling's biggest event of the year. But The Phenom is now booked to face the recently returned Shane McMahon, while Cena is left out of the equation. There may not have been any guarantee he would recover quickly enough in order to work the show, but he certainly seemed to have been ...

It was an eventful week in the land of WWE. We witnessed a major return during Raw, a brutal attack at the end of the show and someone attempting to sell a WWE Hall of Fame ring on television. WrestleMania 32 is still several weeks away, but we already know of three matches that will be featured on the massive pay-per-view on April 3. Triple H will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns, The Undertaker will battle Shane McMahon inside Hell in a Cell and Dean Ambrose will face Brock Lesnar. Let's take a look at the biggest stories ...

This week, the WWE's prodigal son made his return—and the Road to WrestleMania looks a lot more interesting. Last week, speculation about Shane McMahon reappearing on WWE television would have seemed like wishful thinking. In an unusually engrossing start to Raw, the fleet-footed heir to the throne booked his comeback much with some style. On a week when we saw a homecoming many thought would never take place, there's no other WWE talent who deserves to be WWE Superstar of the Week as much as Shane McMahon.   WWE Superstar of the Week of February 27: Shane McMahon Fans who weren't around for the Attitude era ...

AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose were among the WWE stars who made sure Fastlane wasn't just a forgettable pit stop before WrestleMania.  WWE featured Styles on everything from the latest pay-per-view to SmackDown's main event. He looked excellent at every step. Elsewhere, a number of wrestlers made fans take notice. Ambrose helped compose the top match of 2016 so far. A monster ruled at NXT. Tag team champions garnered heat outside of the ring. From the top wrestler to the top match, let's dive into the best WWE had to offer as February wrapped up. Begin Slideshow

Despite having all the makings of a monster, Luke Harper is asked to be a background player, an afterthought. A big man wielding thunderous strikes, Harper commands one's attention in the ring. He has the look and skills to be an overwhelming force. But he's presented as more stiff breeze than gale right now. Harper's time away from The Wyatt Family was brief. After a short run as intercontinental champion at the end of 2014 and a low-profile feud with Dean Ambrose, the bruiser went back to his clan. He reunited with Bray Wyatt in mid-2015. Since then, he has been lost in the shadows ...

When Shane McMahon bounced down the entrance ramp in his oversized red sneakers on Monday's WWE Raw, Stephanie McMahon's expression mirrored the audience's. Her jaw fell. She turned to her father in stunned disbelief. Shane-O-Mac's appearance on Raw was simply one of the most shocking moments in the show's history. The Rock, Ric Flair and Brock Lesnar have surprised the audience with their own unexpected returns. Shane's moment is right up there with those in terms of shock value. Like Lesnar and The Rock, it seemed that he had moved on from WWE forever. Ranking the most unexpected Raw returns ever requires one to consider ...

Thursday's episode of WWE SmackDown kicked off with world heavyweight champion Triple H, who made his way to the squared circle to discuss his upcoming WrestleMania main event against Roman Reigns and, in the process, cemented himself as the biggest winner of the night. The show only went downhill from there. The Game's promo was so incredibly strong that everything else paled in comparison. Quoting "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones, Triple H vowed to defeat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, carrying the theme of that song throughout the promo and ending by reminding fans that he is The Game, The ...

Considering it is the biggest pay-per-view on its calendar, WWE has to ensure that it pushes the right people properly ahead of WrestleMania each and every year. WrestleMania 32 is slowly coming together despite a plethora of injuries to the company's top talent—but there is still work to be done. If the company pushes the right people properly, it can still ensure that WrestleMania goes off with a bang. Here are three stars in particular whom WWE should look to give a well-earned push in the coming weeks.   AJ Styles If there were any doubts about AJ Styles' ability inside the ring, they surely disappeared ...

Every week on Bleacher Report, I take an in-depth look at WWE SmackDown to recap the results, offer analysis and grade the matches, segments and anything else that takes place on the show, as well as make a few predictions for future events. After Raw gave us so many memorable moments, SmackDown was going to have a hard time keeping that momentum going. Instead of trying to match Raw's energy, the blue brand ended up being somewhat uneventful. A few moments stand out, but most of the matches were either too short or too boring. However, a few storylines were advanced, and that is ...

At times, the high-energy mat masters American Alpha look to be made up of the same strands of DNA that comprised The World's Greatest Tag Team. Chad Gable and Jason Jordan have revved up WWE NXT fans by turning chinlocks into compelling entertainment and waist-lock takedowns into key elements of the circus inside the squared circle. In doing so, the emerging duo is following Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas' lead. In 2002, The Haas and Benjamin debuted on SmackDown as Kurt Angle's allies. They quickly rose through the tag team ranks and twice captured gold. Angle was the centerpiece of that group, providing the ...
