WWE is pushing Braun Strowman to the top of the roster. It's easy to imagine him, years from now, feuding with Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Finn Balor and other top stars. There's a lot of promise to this Superstar's blossoming career. WWE had better not blow it. Lest we forget, it is easy to blow a monster heel's career. In fact, WWE almost ruined Strowman the first time around. Strowman made his main-roster debut in August 2015. He single-handedly dismantled Reigns and Dean Ambrose in minutes. But in the following months, his debut remained the most memorable thing about him. Strowman was ...

As one of WWE's biggest pay-per-view events, the Royal Rumble is never short on controversy. The drama typically comes in the event's marquee 30-man Battle Royal. With shock returns, dramatic eliminations and the possibility for anything to happen, the Royal Rumble match is one of the most anticipated contests of the year for good reason. Thankfully, the 2017 edition looks set to be one of the most intriguing in years. And it's a safe bet that there will be another addition to this list of the most controversial moments in the event's history this year. But for now, here's a look at some of ...

Matt and Jeff Hardy are TNA royalty, masters of a self-created kingdom. Should they venture back to WWE, their standing would shift. There's no guarantee that they wouldn't slide down to commoner status. A bigger paycheck would await The Hardy Boyz in Vince McMahon's company. Artistic freedom and autonomy await Matt and Jeff should they re-sign with TNA.  And the six-time WWE tag team champs may soon have to choose between those prizes. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Bill Hanstock of UPROXX), both Matt's and Jeff's TNA contracts end in February. The report also noted that WWE is interested in bringing the Hardy brothers back into ...

In the world of WWE in 2017, promise will become reality, and potential will be realized. This will be Baron Corbin's time, as The Lone Wolf will rise to SmackDown's top tier. WWE's cruiserweights will be among the company's hottest commodities after a disappointing start in 2016. Tye Dillinger will finally earn a spot on WWE proper, showing a new group of fans what a Perfect 10 looks like. Not everything in the squared circle will represent the company's move into the New Era. Reliance on acts from the past like Goldberg won't simply stop. But finding a place on the stage for ...

The Undertaker vs. John Cena could be the last great main event that WWE can offer fans at WrestleMania 33. Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg is a possibility, but it would be their third match. Seth Rollins vs. Triple H is also possible, but the two have mixed it up in the ring before. But Taker vs. Cena would be the ultimate clash of two WWE legends on The Grandest Stage of Them All. However, that doesn't mean it should happen. The biggest issue at stake would be The Phenom's potential retirement. Watching The Undertaker walk away from the company that he carried for so ...

Sami Zayn stood up to the monstrous Braun Strowman until he was laying at the behemoth's boots as a heap of immobile flesh.  The rivals' Last Man Standing match on the first Raw of 2017 proved to be the best story told on a WWE stage this week. Baron Corbin continued his hot streak with another knockout performance, DIY excelled again and The Miz thrived in defeat. But none matched Zayn vs. Strowman in either spectacle or drama. Thanks in part to that collision, WWE began the year with some strong in-ring offerings. Championship bouts and grudge matches powered NXT, SmackDown, Raw and 205 Live. The ...

2016 proved to be a career-defining year for The Miz, and although 2017 started with him dropping the WWE Intercontinental Championship, this month could still get a whole lot better. With The Miz dropping the belt and potentially heading down a new path for a new year, the Royal Rumble match comes at an ideal time for him and Maryse—so much so that he should be immediately installed as one of the favorites for the match. The 2017 edition of the Rumble match features an exciting mix of names who could be regarded as the leading contenders to emerge victorious. Chris Jericho ...

The first week of the new year also means we're on the road to the Royal Rumble on Jan. 29, and WWE has no shortage of entertaining, controversial and downright bizarre stories. New programs on the WWE Network raised a few eyebrows, while The Miz’s continued dissension with the entire SmackDown brand could end in his departure. And in a week where Goldberg and Roman Reigns stood in the same ring for the first time, WWE has officially kicked off WrestleMania season.Begin Slideshow

Crowd reactions spoke volumes about where several WWE NXT prospects stand. NXT's trip to Melbourne, Australia, served as a homecoming for Aussies Buddy Murphy, Shane Thorne and Billie Kay. Even in his home country, though, Murphy didn't generate an impressive amount of noise from the audience. Tye Dillinger, an Ontario native, outshined him in that area. Wednesday's NXT saw Thorne at his best in a tag team title bout, and Kay had her moments against two rivals at once. The crowd appreciated all of it. How did the Australians impact their stock while performing in front of a favorable fanbase? Who among the NXT roster has proved ...

Seth Rollins' return to WWE after knee surgery led to a disappointing year. After a red-hot 2015, The Architect was a stack of damp dynamite that just wouldn't light in 2016.  Talent wasn't the issue—booking was. WWE had Rollins running in place, as his rivalry with Triple H never left the starting block. His list of opponents didn't vary enough. The lines the company fed him were too often hackneyed and childish. To give Rollins room to regain the momentum he had when he was world champion and WWE's cocky king, things have to change in 2017. For Rollins to have a career year, ...
