After another superhuman recovery from surgery, WWE can soon plug John Cena into a number of compelling stories—from him pursuing the United States Championship that slipped from his hands to fending off the company's newest monsters. WWE Creative has to be thrilled. It will have a megastar to utilize again just in time for the summer's biggest pay-per-views. Cena tweeted he's returning to action on Memorial Day: That opens the door for a number of marquee matchups. When considering which one to pursue out of the gate, WWE has to decide just what it wants to do with Cena's star power. The United States ...

Only six days before Payback, WWE rolled into Hartford, Connecticut, for Monday's Raw and left fans with several burning questions ahead of this weekend's pay-per-view spectacular. They are questions surrounding the biggest stars in the industry, the most interesting stories and a revolution that appears to have lost some steam. Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose had one last face-to-face confrontation ahead of their match at Payback. Things did not remain civil very long, though, as it descended into physicality at ringside. What question could possibly envelop a segment that was as straightforward as theirs, and which Superstar does it pertain to? Emma and ...

WWE's newest jackals, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, need the right environment to prosper. The two bruisers aren't can't-miss prospects who can overcome subpar booking. Their prey, partnerships and presentation have to be just right. They need to be able to feast on other teams. They have to incorporate themselves into a pack. And all while balancing what first created the buzz that earned them a trip to WWE with fresh elements. In the early stages of Gallows and Anderson's run, WWE has already hit its share of bull's-eyes and errant shots.  Teasing a reunion with AJ Styles, for example, is smart. Their alliance ...

Intrigue and suspense are the best friends of professional wrestling and, thanks to the mystery that surrounds the feud between world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns and AJ Styles, WWE Creative established itself as the biggest winner from the April 25 episode of Raw. The writing team has done a masterful job of creating interest in the highest profile feud in the company, leaving fans guessing as to Styles' allegiances. Is he his own man or have past friendships tainted his motivations? It is a question that has not yet been answered and the lack of a giant, obvious tell on the ...

Welcome to Bleacher Report's preview for this week's episode of WWE NXT, where we'll take a spoiler-free look at what's in store for the developmental brand's upcoming episode. The past few weeks have been a bit of a guessing game. WWE taped a lot of matches for future episodes of NXT during WrestleMania Axxess. Instead of playing them in the order they were filmed, it seemed like someone would randomly pick which bouts would end up on the show each week. We are nearing the end of the shows featuring these contests, and this week's episode will likely be the last one before ...

Ahead of Payback, WWE Raw cranked up the intensity on a number of feuds. AJ Styles vs. Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn and Chris Jericho vs. Dean Ambrose all intensified by the end of the night. In many cases, stories that had been dragging along suddenly picked up speed.  WWE finally explained to the non-NXT-watching audience why Zayn and Owens hate each other so much. It had Jericho and Ambrose brawl. It added intrigue to the tale of Reigns fending off Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. For the most part, WWE nailed the go-home show. But an inane narrative involving Shane McMahon and ...

A WrestleMania 32 rematch will take place Sunday at WWE Payback. After losing at AT&T Stadium, Ryback will get another shot at the WWE United States Championship when he goes against Kalisto, WWE announced Monday. The Big Guy and The Lucha Dragons member fought for the title April 3 in a huge contrast of styles. Ryback's power was on display for most of the match, as he seemed to be in control. Then Kalisto landed his Salida del Sol finisher for the three-count to retain the title. Unlike with the WrestleMania bout, there has been hardly any buildup between the two Superstars over the last ...

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live WWE Raw coverage for April 25. This is the final episode of Raw before the Payback pay-per-view on Sunday, which means WWE only has so much time left to add anything else to the card. Monday's show will feature the anticipated wrestling debut of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. They will be taking on The Usos, but you can bet Roman Reigns will be watching closely after he was attacked by Gallows and Anderson last week. We should also find out Shane McMahon's future Monday night. He has been running Raw since the night after WrestleMania 32, but ...

WWE will have its biggest star again as it begins putting together its plans for the summer.  John Cena announced Monday he'll return to the company on the May 30 edition of Raw. At least on a full-time basis, the 15-time world champion has been out of action since revealing on Jan. 6 he was set to undergo shoulder surgery. He made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 32 to help The Rock fend off The Wyatt Family, via WWE, which proved to be a special occasion rather than a sign he was healthy enough to wrestle: Before Monday, Cena's return date remained a ...

When WWE Raw descends on the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, on Monday night, fans will be surging with anticipation, wondering whether Finn Balor will arrive and just how he will fit into this new landscape.  The longest-reigning NXT champion ever isn't confirmed to be at the show or even make the move to the main roster. Yet there are enough signs to read into and teases out there to have the audience abuzz with speculation. Should Balor show up on Monday's Raw, WWE would be wise to lay the first bricks on his road to the spotlight. Create hype for his ...
