Wednesday night brought with it the final episode of WWE's NXT before this weekend's TakeOver: Dallas, and the men and women of the revolutionary brand looked to leave a lasting impression prior to the big night. One week after attacking Bull Dempsey and leaving him lying in the ring with the Coquina Clutch, No. 1 contender to the NXT Championship Samoa Joe battled the Bull-Fit competitor. Would Joe pick up another victory to continue his roll into Dallas, or would he be upset, perhaps taking his opponent too lightly? Speaking of Superstars headed toward golden opportunities, tag team contenders American Alpha were ...

Bobby Roode is a long way from joining WWE NXT, but his fans will be happy to hear that the company is at least communicating with the former TNA world champion. The fact that WWE is interested in Roode is a sign of how its development brand continues to evolve. A trio of independent promotions taking part in the Global Cruiserweight Series is even more of a sign. WWE once didn't want any part of former TNA stars, and it certainly didn't have a working relationship with companies such as Revolution Pro. But times are changing. In other news, the WWE Performance Center had a famous ...

Even with so many nostalgia acts on the card, WWE WrestleMania 32 is poised to be a turning point, a defining moment of a shift to a new era. Roman Reigns is closing in on the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. A trio of women from NXT are set to put on the biggest women's match in the history of The Show of Shows. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and AJ Styles will be making their WrestleMania debuts. It all begins on Sunday, April 3 at 7 p.m. ET. When WWE booked AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, for WrestleMania, the company clearly had visions of ...

Report: Divas Division Set to Be Re-Branded Wednesday, March 30 According to PWInsider (h/t Wrestling-Edge.com), the Divas division will be renamed the Women's division on Monday's episode of Raw following WrestleMania 32. Also, a WWE Women's Championship belt has reportedly been created, and it will replace the butterfly-emblazoned Divas title. Should the report come to fruition, the WrestleMania Triple Threat match between Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch will be the final WWE bout with the Divas Championship on the line. The ...

At WWE WrestleMania 2016, The Rock will play the role that Seth Rollins did last year—the center of the swerve that elevates the main event. With as much as WWE has hyped his appearance at the event, one has to assume that it will be hugely significant. It's hard to imagine all this buildup over his mystery part in the WrestleMania puzzle will lead to him just warming up the crowd. For one, WrestleMania is too starved for star power thanks to a good portion of the roster heading to the surgeon's table in recent months. WWE needs The Rock to make an ...

When Triple H takes to the WrestleMania stage on Sunday night for his WWE World Heavyweight Championship title defense against Roman Reigns, it will be the second time in his career in which he opposes a young star who is supposed to be the franchise of the company but arrives riding a wave of disdain and rejection from fans.  A decade ago almost to the day at WrestleMania 22, The King of Kings set foot in the squared circle for a showdown with young John Cena, the defending WWE champion and No. 1 punching bag for a very verbal audience unsatisfied ...

1. The Showcase of the Swerves As WWE WrestleMania 32 draws close, eerily familiar issues linger—a lackluster build, a headliner who the audience has been vocally rejecting and concerns that the event will be a flop. The same concerns festered before WrestleMania 31. Then WWE emptied its bag of tricks. The New World Order stormed onto the stage, Rusev rode atop a tank, Ronda Rousey slapped the spit from Stephanie McMahon's mouth and Seth Rollins pulled off an unforgettable heist. Suddenly, the image of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar's ill-advised tug of war was gone. Electricity surged through the product. Praise poured in. Jack de Menezes ...

The story of Jake “The Snake” Roberts is full of ups and downs, but the WWE Hall of Famer has found peace in his life and is finding as much success outside the ring as he once did inside it. To help him tell his incredible story of failure, reconciliation and triumph, filmmakers have released an excellent documentary—dubbed The Resurrection of Jake The Snake—that takes viewers on an emotional journey. For any wrestling fan, Roberts’ story of redemption is inspiring. In addition to the film, the story was also chronicled by Bleacher Report’s Ryan Dilbert. Roberts sat down with Ring Rust Radio to ...

WrestleMania week is upon us. WWE set the table for the biggest show of the year on Monday, filling in the remaining gaps and sending fans off to Arlington, Texas, with an understanding that come Sunday night, things will change in the WWE Universe.  From Shane McMahon's quest to wrest control of the company's flagship program, Raw, from father Vince through Roman Reigns' quest to finally defeat The Authority to the unofficial start of the Divas Revolution, WrestleMania 32 is sure to make waves.  Depending on how you view things, any number of scenarios can and should play out in Dallas. That's why ...

Rumors ahead of WrestleMania suggest that WWE fans will not see Luke Harper for a long stretch or Brie Bella in the ring for much longer. Retirement, returns and the roster continuing to be hurt by an ongoing rash of injuries comprise the biggest WWE stories floating around the Internet. Harper fans won't like what a recent backstage report said about his condition. There's a reason he wasn't included in the Instagram photo of The Wyatt Family visiting the New York Stock Exchange. As for Bella, it's not health but concerns about her husband that are reportedly seeing her step away from the WWE ...
