By the time Battleground takes place on July 24, Raw and SmackDown will have drafted their rosters. The game-changing draft scheduled for July 19 will present enormous changes to the WWE landscape—and massive opportunities for the men and women in the company. Once Raw and SmackDown are separated, wrestlers on either side of the red-blue divide will find less competition as they try to carve out paths to the top. The journey will still be treacherous, but at least there will be fewer rivals who are jockeying for position. Battleground is the de facto kickoff for the brand split—and as such, it's the ...

This year's Battleground pay-per-view comes at a crucial time for WWE. It's not just its positioning between Money in the Bank and SummerSlam, two of the biggest shows on the calendar; it's also the fact that the event will air on July 24, just five days after the draft. This will be the first pay-per-view following the impending separation of Raw and SmackDown. For many fans, it will likely be a deciding factor in whether both shows can snag a spot in their weekly viewing schedules. WWE needs to establish that both brands are going to offer must-watch matches. To that end, we're ...

At Money in the Bank, Dean Ambrose shocked the world by claiming both the all-important briefcase and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. But the question has to be asked: Is he a transitional champion? Ambrose undoubtedly has a massive number of supporters among the WWE Universe. However, it's also fair to say that he doesn't fit the bill as the successor to John Cena in quite the same way that Roman Reigns does. Reigns was suspended on Tuesday, which suggests that he was always going to lose the title at Money in the Bank. WWE couldn't afford to have its world champion off ...

On Sunday night, six of the most exciting wrestlers on the WWE roster will do battle in a Ladder Match. The winner will receive the next best thing to a guaranteed WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign. Money in the Bank may be a relatively recent addition to the WWE calendar, but it's quickly become established as one of the biggest nights of the year. Beyond even the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, this is the show that makes the stars of tomorrow.

Money in the Bank 2016 emanates from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, and the event is poised to shake the very foundations of the WWE landscape. The all-important MITB briefcase is now the quickest route up-and-coming wrestlers have at their disposal to claim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Any of the six men involved in the namesake ladder match could feasibly be world champion by the end of the night. However, that's not all that's at stake at the pay-per-view. With just two months to go until SummerSlam 2016, expect Sunday's show to have major repercussions that reverberate for ...

As his Shield comrades go head-to-head in the main event, Sunday's Money in the Bank 2016 pay-per-view should give Dean Ambrose an opportunity to join his former faction-mates in the spotlight. Ambrose seemed to be clawing his way back to the top of the card as 2016 got underway, engaging in an engrossing feud with Triple H over the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. From his performance in the Royal Rumble to the excellent main event of Roadblock, it seemed like he was finally ready to enter the main event picture for good. This was seemingly confirmed when plans for an anticipated feud ...

Wednesday night was billed as "The End of the Beginning" for NXT, as the brand extension now looms large over WWE as a whole. The needs of two separate brands mean that NXT is about to undergo a talent raid, as reported by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Cageside Seats). Certain candidates stand out from the crowd as being ready for the big show—and Shinsuke Nakamura is head and shoulders above the rest.

Since its introduction at WrestleMania 21, the Money in the Bank ladder match has become one of the most important events on the WWE calendar. Of course, the consistently exciting multi-man melee has a great deal to do with the enduring popularity of the pay-per-view that bears its name. However, it's the all-important briefcase that makes Money in the Bank such a gripping spectacle. The briefcase is a shortcut to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, giving its bearer the fastest possible route to the highest summit in North American pro wrestling. Here's why the briefcase that will hang above the ring on June ...

Over the past few years, Money in the Bank has become established as one of the most important shows on the WWE calendar. Of course, the all-important titular ladder match has a big influence over the world title picture in the months directly afterward. However, it's the show's placement between WrestleMania and SummerSlam that makes it a must-watch. Being situated between two of WWE's Big 4 pay-per-views makes Money in the Bank something of a turning point for the year. Depending on how wrestlers are presented at Money in the Bank compared to their contributions to WrestleMania can tell us how they're ...
