In Pushed to Punished, I analyze the controversial careers of past and present WWE Superstars who were once in the good graces of management but ultimately met their downfalls for one reason or another. Arguably, there is no Superstar who has fallen farther in recent years than Natalya. A multi-generational Diva, Natayla was destined for greatness from the moment she arrived in WWE in 2008. However, it took her longer to rise to superstardom than expected, as she did nothing of note as a singles competitor for two years before finally winning the Divas Championship in 2010. Her title victory signaled a changing of the guard ...

WrestleMania season always seems to begin just before fans can really start complaining about how disappointing it is. I'd be remiss if I didn't address Shane McMahon's return right off the bat. Yes, there were plenty of Shane-O-Mac, questions. No, none of them made the cut. This mailbag is about quality, and there were far too many great questions about other angles. In fact, this batch was so good, there were two questions of the week. Still, Shane's return was awesome. As for his upcoming match against The Undertaker? Well, at least his return was awesome.   Styles Crash? AJ Styles is fitting right ...

Chad Gable continues to close the gap between him and the top WWE NXT prospects, his tag team partner included. Despite having to crane his neck up at the titans of the developmental brand and despite not being nearly as good of a fit for magazine covers as his peers, Gable is wrestling his way to a higher place on the NXT ladder. Even a short, mostly one-sided match like he and Jason Jordan had against Blake and Murphy on Wednesday's NXT was made a spectacle thanks to his skills. His rise and the arrival of Christopher Girard (formerly Biff Busick) increases the competition to ...

In-ring masterpieces will be key for WWE WrestleMania 32 to reinvigorate the United States and Intercontinental Championships. Last year, WWE gave both midcard titles a wealth of momentum by having megastars John Cena and Daniel Bryan win them on its biggest stages. A roster hurt by injuries forces WWE to change strategies at WrestleMania 32. If the company pairs its best performers against each other, it will set the table for two instant classics.   That will have fans talking about those titles in the aftermath of WrestleMania. Desperation and drama in the ring will bolster the idea of how precious they both are. Both Kevin ...

Amid all the talking points heading out of WWE Fastlane 2016, one seemed to stand out more than any other: What's next for The Wyatt Family? Yet again, the Wyatts came out of a major pay-per-view looking weaker than when they went into it, and serious questions surely have to be asked now about the future of the group. Make no mistake about it: WWE has completely messed up its booking of Bray and his family. The Wyatts could have been the most feared, revered stable to hit the company in years—but now they look like nothing more than a set of midcarders ...

WrestleMania 32 is already shaping up to be a huge event, but there's still plenty of room on the card for the rest of the roster to find its place. As of this writing, we know of three matches set for the biggest pay-per-view of the year. At Fastlane 2016, Roman Reigns became the No. 1 contender to Triple H's WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and the following night on Raw we found out about two more contests. Dean Ambrose will face Brock Lesnar, and Shane McMahon will battle The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell. That practically fills up all the main event spots, ...

As WrestleMania 32 approaches, the WWE Universe is excited to see what kind of big stars the company can add to the festivities, and there is no bigger name than Stone Cold Steve Austin. In a recent interview with Ring Rust Radio, Austin spoke about whether he intends on being at WrestleMania 32 and what his role might be, saying, “As far as my role, I don't know yet. I haven't talked to anybody about it. I expect to be in Dallas, Texas, and I expect to do something, I just don't know what it is.” While it is unclear which role ...

Everyone needs a hug now and then, even WWE Superstars and Divas. That’s the motto for the current WWE NXT women’s champion, Bayley. Over time, Bayley became much more than just a hugger. She’s evolved into quite the competitor who’s waged countless wars to finally win the NXT women’s title. But before then, she garnered the fans’ support. Bayley has a unique connection with the audience that only emerges once in a while. Her persona is just the beginning in what she brings to the table. Bayley’s in-ring style is acrobatic and fluid. She wins her matches with the Bayley-to-Belly—the belly-to-belly suplex where ...

At this point in time, Kevin Owens is unquestionably one of the top prospects on the WWE roster. He's incredibly versatile between the ropes, he's one of the best in the company with a microphone in his hand and he's got a knack for drawing boisterous reactions from any crowd. KO deserves a spotlight match at WrestleMania, but at this point his role on the show remains unclear. Fortunately, there are plenty of opponents who could produce a memorable match with The Prizefighter. Here are the best feuds for Owens to engage in at WrestleMania—and some predictions as to who would come out ...

Chants of "you can't wrestle" rained down upon her Wednesday night, but by the time the tag team main event concluded, Eva Marie had established herself as the biggest winner from the February 24 episode of NXT on WWE Network. The Total Divas star capitalized on the work done by Nia Jax to pick up the win for her team over NXT women's champion Bayley and Carmella in true heel fashion. In the process, she managed to keep herself in championship contention, despite the fact that she did very little to ensure victory. From a storytelling standpoint, she was excellent as the opportunistic heel. ...
