Pardon the cheesy headline. But it's true, the tentative SummerSlam matchup between former World Heavyweight champion Dolph Ziggler and former NXT champion—and Ziggler confidant—Big E. Langston will surprise many watching the pay-per-view come Sunday, August 18. WWE is effectively attempting to raise the importance of all its talent during the summer, which is why you have Daniel Bryan, one of the most popular Superstars who had been aimlessly wandering the tag team division, going against the most polarizing Superstar in the WWE, John Cena. The same goes for the feud between Cody Rhodes and former tag team partner—now Money in the ...

WWE should include an asterisk after every mention of their upcoming Three Stages of Hell match at Payback, since the scheduled bout may not reach the final fall. Then again, maybe they shouldn't. The Three Stages of Hell match—advertised as one of the most unpredictable in WWE—paradoxically establishes the safest bet for WWE programming. The two out of three falls match, with added stipulations for every fall, makes the third fall the unquestioned conclusion. Of course, the match is going to last the all three falls, especially in the upcoming iteration featuring WWE Champion John Cena and Ryback. After all, the WWE Championship ...

How about that main event featuring the seldom-used WWE Divas? No, seriously.  WWE decided that the main event of Monday's Raw would feature the Divas in a battle royal to determine the No. 1 contender for the championship title. The idea may sound perplexing at first, but scheduling the match before the real—and I'm using this term loosely—main event where Ryback and Cena cut a promo is inarguably the best decision WWE has made regarding the Divas division. It's inarguable for the sole reason that nothing has been with the division in the past few months. Kaitlyn, the WWE Divas ...

As WrestleMania nears, people are always speculating the pay-per-view's card. And with that, fans anticipate the return of the phenom, The Undertaker.The wait has become an unofficial WrestleMania countdown of sorts.But now that wait is finally over and wrestling fans can collectively breathe a sign of relief, according to Arda Ocal via Twitter:Taker made his in-ring debut in a tag team match with Sheamus against current Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett and former Rhodes Scholars' member Damien Sandow. The house show took place in Waco, Texas, which made the odds of an Undertaker appearance slightly higher than normal given that he lives ...

 Alberto Del Rio’s latest World Heavyweight Championship win was unexpected , to say the least . WWE is increasingly using pay-per-views as the only vehicle for a title change, which is why Del Rio’s scheduled title bout against then-champion Big Show was surprising.However, The Rock was scheduled to appear on that same night so they were capable of drawing more viewers on Friday night 's program. And with the attention, Del Rio was able to seize the moment and capture the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in a last man standing match.The title last changed hands on an episode of Smackdown was ...

Some of the most talented and promising superstars are mid-carders—but that’s great. The build up to WWE's forthcoming pay-per-view, Tables, Ladders & Chairs, has been purposely convoluted; matches have been changed on the fly and storylines have overlapped others.  The most notable of the intertwining stories has to be the mid-card championship storylines. At the beginning of the TLC buildup, both titles had their respective champions and contenders. Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston had the returning Wade Barrett. United States Champion Antonio Cesaro continued his feud with R-Truth. But somewhere along the line, the stories became one. A Kingston appearance often followed a Cesaro sighting, and vice versa. More notably, Barrett ...

Any casual WWE fan can now tell you what stipulation the next pay-per-view main event will be. All they have to do is look at the name of the PPV.  WWE’s upcoming event is Tables, Ladders and Chairs, which will undoubtedly feature at least one match involving one or more of its namesake foreign objects.  So far, WWE has already announced two matches. The main event is a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match between WWE champion CM Punk and Ryback. Current World heavyweight champion Big Show will be facing Sheamus in a tables match as well.  These two matches, in particular, are the results ...

It is never easy to go from laughing-stock to serious competitor in such a short amount of time, but Sin Cara has done just that. Before he was Sin Cara, he was Mistico—the high-flying luchador hailing from Mexico City whose popularity resulted in getting his own comic book. Unfortunately, the popularity did not follow the newly-named Sin Cara to WWE programming. His first few matches were against the smaller WWE talent in order to showcase his skills.Odd lighting and all, Sin Cara showed that he had the athleticism to thrive, but he botched moves very often. He obviously could ...

Ryback got his wish. He will be fed CM Punk at Hell in a Cell, WWE's upcoming pay-per-view, which takes place in two weeks.  WWE has been teasing this confrontation for weeks since John Cena is still recovering from elbow surgery.  But both Cena and Ryback have been part of the WWE Championship storyline thus far. Monday's contract signing revealed the direction WWE is taking as the pay-per-view approached, which is arguably the best decision for everyone involved.  John Cena is now able to fully recover instead of being rushed in a high-profile match against WWE Champion CM Punk. Throwing ...

WWE is ultimately halting, or postponing, one of their best feuds by introducing Ryback in the WWE Championship picture.  Monday's Raw saw WWE chairman Vince McMahon select CM Punk's next opponent at Hell in a Cell. The choice was either going to be injured veteran John Cena or newcomer Ryback.  But before doing this, John Cena exited the ring and began supporting Ryback's cause. At that point, there was no doubt that McMahon would pick Ryback as CM Punk's next opponent. The reason for such an abrupt switch, of course, is due to the fact that John Cena is still ...
