Every January, WWE fans anxiously anticipate the 30-man Royal Rumble match, and for good reason. It has been a staple in the WWE calendar since 1988, with each year offering new monumental moments and thrilling surprises. The stipulation was later added that the winner would earn a world title match in the main event of WrestleMania. Thus, a large part of the Rumble match's appeal is that its outcome has a direct effect on how WWE's most important event of the year is shaped. As such, the Royal Rumble has traditionally kicked off the Road to WrestleMania—and it would be hard to ...

At WWE Royal Rumble 2017 on Jan. 29, John Cena will contend for the WWE Championship against AJ Styles, and although he is considered to be the favorite to walk out with the title in tow, WWE would be wise to hold off until WrestleMania 33 to give Cena his historic 16th world title win. Cena's chase for the championship dates back much further than just recently. He hasn't held a world title in nearly two-and-a-half years after losing the prestigious prize to Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2014. Since then, Cena's sole goal has been to make history by tying the legendary Ric Flair ...

Royal Rumble 2017 is right around the corner on Jan. 29, and WWE WrestleMania 33 isn't far behind. Several stars from both Raw and SmackDown Live are hungry to solidify their spots on the grandest card of the year, including Dean Ambrose. From winning the WWE Championship to being the first pick for SmackDown Live in the WWE draft, Ambrose had a strong 2016 from start to finish. He also had the honor of facing Brock Lesnar in a No Holds Barred Street Fight at WrestleMania 32, and although fans labeled their match a disappointment, few people can say they have ...

At a time when WWE Raw has never felt more lifeless, few full-time stars on the show come across as truly special. However, WWE deserves an ample amount of credit for perfecting its slow-burn build with Braun Strowman as a monster heel. Once Strowman was separated from his stablemates in The Wyatt Family in the 2016 WWE draft, there was a decent chance that he would flounder on his own. Up to that point, he had been protected via tag team matches, and his limitations in the ring were wisely masked. However, instead of immediately placing him in a main event-level program, which had ...

The first week of 2017 provided WWE with the ultimate opportunity to start with a fresh slate, and now that we are over seven days into the new year, it's safe to say that next to nothing has changed about the product from late 2016. Just because the calendar year has changed doesn't mean WWE's programming problems have suddenly gone away. Essentially, everything is the same as it was two weeks ago, including the fact that SmackDown is clearly superior to Raw. That much has been evident since the dawn of the brand split, with SmackDown consistently outperforming Raw on a weekly basis. ...

Say what you will about the highs and lows WWE has experienced over the course of 2016, but the abundance of amazing wrestling that has transpired across all of WWE's major platforms cannot be denied. From a women's revolution taking place to the arrival of AJ Styles to the return of the cruiserweights, 2016 will be remembered as being a banner for WWE, especially inside the squared circle. The year started strong with one of the best Royal Rumble matches in nearly a decade and recently wrapped up with a women's Iron Man match at Roadblock: End of the Line. As you ...

WWE Roadblock: End of the Line will be the company's final pay-per-view of 2016 and air live Sunday night from the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh at 8 p.m. ET. In their final faceoff for the Raw Women's Championship, Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair will collide in a colossal 30-minute Iron Man match. Which woman will walk out with the defining victory in their storied feud? Although his United States Championship won't be up for grabs, Roman Reigns could potentially walk away with two titles when he contends for Kevin Owens' WWE Universal Championship. Will Owens retain his title without the help ...

At WWE Roadblock: End of the Line, it will be the end of the line for several of Raw's most ruthless rivalries, including Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho. The two longtime foes will face off one final time and attempt to settle their score once and for all as the road to WrestleMania 33 looms large. Two weeks before it was confirmed for the card, Rollins vs. Jericho appeared to be a lock for Roadblock after Jericho cost The Architect the WWE Universal Championship in the main event of Raw one night removed from Survivor Series. However, their storied feud dates back ...

As we enter the final few weeks of 2016, speculation has already begun as to which matches WWE fans could witness at WrestleMania 33 on April 2. And it's safe to assume that Brock Lesnar will be involved in one of the top matches on the blockbuster card. For the past four years, Lesnar has battled a number of elite athletes at The Show of Shows, including Dean Ambrose, Triple H, Roman Reigns and The Undertaker. In fact, he was responsible for breaking Undertaker's 21-0 undefeated streak at the event at WrestleMania 30. Come WrestleMania 33, however, it's unknown whether Lesnar will ...

WWE TLC 2016 featured the culmination of several storylines, most of which had been brewing since September. That is a testament to SmackDown Live's ability to tell compelling long-term stories and blow them off in a meaningful manner. The ruthless rivalry between AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose finally reached an apex when Styles reigned supreme over his archrival to retain his WWE World Championship. The Miz was also successful in his defense of the Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler. However, the blue brand won't be running another exclusive pay-per-view for another few months. In the meantime, it has the Royal Rumble to ...
