As Seth Rollins looked on from ringside during last Monday night’s Raw main event, Roman Reigns triumphed over three elite Superstars to become the No. 1 contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins has withstood some serious competition since ensnaring the title at WrestleMania—including Brock Lesnar, Sting and Dean Ambrose — but why might The Big Dog present his greatest challenge yet? WWE.com has some ideas.

The Wyatt Family issued a frightening challenge

PHOENIX — SmackDown celebrated Halloween as The Showoff and The A-Lister battled in a terrifying Trick or Treat Street Fight, four of WWE’s top duos competed in a Tag Team Terror Four Corners Match and The Wyatts put forth a horrifying task for anyone brave enough to accept.

Why must you watch the special Halloween edition of SmackDown, tonight at 8/7 C on Syfy? (Cue haunting laughter.) WWE.com has some ideas.

Brothers vs Brothers at Survivor series

Did you watch the main event at Hell In a Cell? Did you see the invasion of The Wyatt Family & how they carried The Undertaker off the ramp to backstage?

The invasion of the Wyatts didn't stop then as they came again on Monday Night Raw to take away The Demon Kane.

It becomes obvious that WWE is trying to focus on reuniting the brothers of destruction & make them a cohesive unit as they used to be so that they can fight against the Wyatts in coming weeks & decrease the dominance of the family led by the so called,'New Face Of Fear'

It would be amazing to see if WWE can try to make this storyline effective by Survivor Series as WWE plans to celebrate 25 years of The Phenom at that event & has been sharing teasers about it already. It would be nice to see how they can have The Deadman & The Big Red Monster together to make the match a spectacle.

SAN DIEGO — With hell firmly in his rearview, Roman Reigns is now one step closer to the promised land. Reigns blasted by Kofi Kingston to earn his spot in a Fatal 4-Way Match to determine the No. 1 contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The Big Dog opened Raw with a deafening statement to anyone who thought he’d be unable to recapture the lightning that catapulted him to the main event of WrestleMania 31.

Watch: Roman defies The Authority! | Reigns powers past Kofi in Raw thriller

Due to the stipulations of the evening — each potential Fatal 4-Way entrant had to have won at Hell in a Cell — Reigns faced stiff competition from The New Day member, who rode a diversion from Big E to a near-insurmountable lead in the late goings. A gritty comeback from Reigns led Kingston to go wild with Trouble in Paradise, but Reigns ducked the boot and Speared his way to the main event. Do you still believe?

Cena vs Mystery Opponent : Hell In A Cell 2015

(Image Credit: WWE.com)

John Cena has been a favorite amongst WWE Officials & the WWE Universe since his debut & there have been ups & downs in his career like anyone else but The champ has always risen & made a name for himself, but the question remains that will he be able to do so after HIAC?

It comes as no surprise that WWE added the U.S. Title match as HIAC because they know that the champ is out of action for some time to shoot for a TV Series on FOX. It is clear that WWE added this match so that they can have Cena loose the match & make the mystery opponent the winner. Here are my speculations:

1) Damien Sandow: Possibly, Damien could return at HIAC & win the championship.

&

2) Heath Slater

Is Corporate Kane about to Perish?

(Image Credit: WWE.COM)

Written by Amit Shukla

We all found out on Raw Monday Night that Corporate Kane has been suspended... Incase, you still don't know it, read: http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/2015-10-19/corporate-kane-suspended-28082216

The question that comes to mind is that was Kane suspended because of his actions last week where he found a suitable replacement in his match against Seth Rollins as Demon Kane, which we all in the WWE UNIVERSE know was he but as a demon or was it just done to hype up the match at Hell In A Cell.

I am sure that they would have Corporate Kane back on Smackdown & the duo of Seth & Kane will try to fume their rivalry to give it a boost for the HIAC PPV.

Let's see how the story transcends.

WWE RAW REVIEW

Written by Amit Shukla

WWE Raw is the most eagerly waited show in all of sports entertainment because of it's twists & turns to the storylines & the feuds. It goes without saying that WWE RAW is one of the most anticipated shows & loved equally, however, let's find out if it did good today or failed?

Ofcourse, WWE promoted LEGENDS at last Raw before HIAC but if you were to believe, the surprise element was Stone Cold return to the ring & instead of kicking some asses just welcomed Undertaker. It could be noted that Austin had been denying the fact that he would be on Raw tonight, but to everyone's surprise, he opened the can of candy whipass with words, but that was enough to get things rolling as he had to leave for WWE PODCAST with Brock Lesnar.

It must be said that tonight WWE couldn't use legends effectively. However, I must credit them for two great Divas Matches & Seth vs Ryback.

The main event sucked at last because they showed Seth leaving the match in the middle amid a knee injury, post which Dean & Roman gave great performance, but I am sure WWE Universe would have loved to see Demon Kane return & confront Seth anytime but that didn't happen. Some may say that this was because Corporate Kane was suspended for the day, but that was corporate one, not the demon, so WWE missed cashing in on the angle, although every legend tried to hype this match specially Shawn Michaels.

Let's see how things go from here.

Change in Blog Time!

Over the last few weeks I have been trying to publish my own content but due to some pre defined requirements, doing the same has been seemingly impossible. I have been trying to post my y'day's blog today morning to ensure all of it is in place, but as a new day starts, so does the hustle-bustle of it & in this hotch-potch I am unable to put my new blog live, leaving no option for me but to republish someone else's content to keep the flow going.

But, as they say to change your situations, you need to change your actions & I am going to do the same. I am going to post my blog on the same day so that I can share my thoughts without any hassle, otherwise it would be a big hassle for me to post a blog next morning.

Also set to appear live on Raw in WrestleMania 32’s host city are WWE Hall of Famers Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels, as well as The Beast Incarnate’s Hell in a Cell opponent and bitter nemesis, The Undertaker.

After Raw, Lesnar will sit down with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin for a special Stone Cold Podcast, only on WWE Network. The Texas Rattlesnake undoubtedly has some hard-hitting questions planned for The Anomaly in what’s sure to be Austin’s most intense interview yet.

11 Big WWE Questions Stone Cold Steve Austin Must Ask Brock Lesnar

Republished from WhatCulture

(Source: WWE.COM)

Stone Cold Steve Austin interviews Brock Lesnar on the WWE Network this Monday, in what is sure to be the most intriguing Austin podcast to date. Forget Raw, the Lesnar Q and A is the real main event for next week.

The Beast almost never gives interviews, and when he does, it is usually a cagey affair. He’s an intensely private man and is notoriously difficult to deal with. But with Stone Cold asking the questions, it should be a revealing night. Lesnar likes Austin and that’s going to make a difference. It is going to be like two buddies conversing, which should relax Lesnar, hopefully loosening him up to reveal fresh insights into his WWE and UFC experiences.

Here’s the key questions that Austin must hit Lesnar up on…

11. How Did You Go From Hating Vince McMahon To Doing Business Again?

(Source:WWE.COM)

Austin needs to hit Lesnar with the big questions, and this is certainly one of them. The guy absolutely loathed Vince McMahon. His 2011 autobiography was damning about the WWE Chairman. He called him a “bully” and expressed disgust at how McMahon treated the wrestlers.

A year after that book, the two were back working together. How did that happen? Was it just money, or did Lesnar and McMahon have a heart to heart?

It would also be interesting to find out how much Triple H was involved in mending the bridges. It is crazy that Lesnar went from hating WWE so much, to throwing himself back into it with such gusto. Austin can also take this opportunity to rib Lesnar on the huge money he’s making, he should call him out for letting the pay change his entire view on WWE!

10 Ways To Improve The WWE Network

Republished from WhatCulture

WWE

When WWE decided to create their own streaming service, as is ever the case with Vince McMahon, the plan was for domination. Unfortunately for Vinny Mac, things haven’t quite gone to plan just yet.

In order to achieve the strong subscriber numbers that the WWE so desperately wants, it’s clear that there are some changes that need to me made. Most importantly, the WWE needs to make its service a must-have by filling it with innovative, engaging content that will have current subscribers gushing and potential subscribers eager to get themselves signed up and get in on the action.

With so many people having been wrestling fans at some point in their lives, the potential audience for the WWE to reach is absolutely huge. With their on-demand service, the company has the chance to appeal to fans of the current product whilst also giving fans of the ‘good old days’ plenty to enjoy, which could even tie in to bringing back those fans who left wrestling behind years ago and could possibly help to remedy the awful Raw ratings of this year.

To put it bluntly, improving the WWE Network is vital for the health and success of the WWE going forward. With that said, here’s 10 ways that the WWE can improve the Network and increase those ever-important subscriber numbers.

WWE and Alberto El Patron In Talks

Republished from 411Mania

WWE is apparently following up on their interest in Alberto El Patron, and Patron is apparently receptive at least. PWInsider reports that the two sides have in fact been in talks about a possible return by El Patron. That being said, there is no word on whether a deal has been reached.

It is worth noting that the wXw event in Germany that El Patron pulled out of takes place while WWE is on tour in Mexico. Whether there’s any corrolation or not isn’t known.

WWE Raw results, Oct. 12, 2015: Kane assumes control and Summer Rae serves payback to Rusev

Republished from WWE

CHICAGO — The Authority is running late, Kane is running the show (hey there, main event Lumberjack Match against Seth Rollins), and The New Day picked up right where they left off last week, taking out Dean Ambrose & Randy Orton in an impromptu tag match against the bickering fan favorites, organized by the Director of Operations himself to start the show.

Hell in a Cell: Ambrose & Orton battle The Wyatts! | New Day faces The Dudleys

To say The New Day ran roughshod over the Shield and Evolution veterans would be a bit of an overstatement; Ambrose & Orton’s chemistry left Big E, of all people, on the ropes for a good chunk of the match. But miscommunication quickly reared its head and The New Day gelled where their opponents fell apart when Kofi shoved Orton into Ambrose mid-RKO and sprang with a rollup to the reeling Viper. Tough loss to #POP. Maybe Ambrose and The Dudleys will fare better on SmackDown.

NXT Diva Finished With WWE?, Details on Why the Company Likely Will No Longer Be Using Her

Republished from http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/628965-nxt-diva-finished-with-wwe-details-on-why-the-company-likely-will-no-longer-be-using-her

According to PWInsider.com, Leva “Blue Pants” Bates is likely finished with WWE and NXT. Word coming from backstage in WWE this week is that the company has no plans to use Bates anytime soon.

While it can’t be confirmed this is the reason why WWE will no longer be using her, it’s being said that Bates rubbed a lot of people backstage in NXT the wrong way with some of the comments she made.

Bates never intended any of her comments to be malicious, but she reportedly made mistakes by speaking out about how over her character was, and this bothered other wrestlers as her role was to help get other talents over.

As noted, Bates was never signed to a full-time WWE deal, and was being used on a per-appearance basis.

If you were anybody besides Kane, Brock Lesnar or The New Day, last Monday’s Raw was a rough outing. John Cena won, but got beat up. Same for The Dudley Boyz, while Dolph Ziggler didn’t even get to compete before he got taken out of the equation. And Summer Rae? Well, we’ll get to her. From Superstars and Divas looking strong on the road to “Hell,” to those who feel like they’re already burned, here’s what WWE.com predicts for Monday’s Raw. 

WWE goes pink with Susan G. Komen

Republished from WWE

STAMFORD, Conn. — WWE and Susan G. Komen will continue their partnership with WWE Superstars and Divas wearing co-branded Susan G. Komen and WWE apparel, and WWE platforms “going pink” in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As part of this year’s “Rise Above Cancer” campaign, WWE will donate to Komen 20 percent of the retail sales price of all co-branded merchandise sold on WWEShop.com and at WWE Live Events. Fans can also donate $1, $5 or $10 to Komen upon checkout from WWEShop.com.

To support Komen’s mission, WWE will utilize all its assets including WWE Network and TV broadcasts, Live Events, PSAs, digital and social media to generate awareness and encourage fans to get involved. Throughout the month, the WWE announcer table, entrance ramp and ring skirts will be co-branded and the middle ring rope turned pink to promote the fight against breast cancer. Fans will also have the option to turn their Facebook and Twitter profiles pink to show their support. In addition, a co-branded WWE and Susan G. Komen flag will be flown outside WWE’s corporate headquarters.

“We are so grateful for our partnership with WWE,” said Christina Alford, SVP of development for Susan G. Komen. “Their ‘Rise Above Cancer’ campaign reaches women in communities across the country, bringing awareness and helping us fund lifesaving research, and support to families living with breast cancer who need our help today.”

“WWE is exceptionally proud to continue our partnership with Susan G. Komen and its support of breast cancer research and awareness,” said WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon. “WWE remains deeply committed to this movement, as we utilize our global platforms to raise awareness and funds for a disease that impacts so many people around the world.”

Susan G. Komen and WWE have a history of success in raising awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. The partnership launched in 2012 and has generated more than $1.5 million for Komen to date. This past May, Komen and WWE teamed up again to support the Washington, D.C., Race for the Cure and National Women’s Health Week.

Susan G. Komen is the world’s largest nonprofit funder of breast cancer research, and funds community outreach programs, public advocacy and global programs. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in the United States. There are more than 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the United States today. For more information about Susan G. Komen, breast health or breast cancer, visit komen.org/wwe or call 1-877 GO KOMEN.

5 Facts about WWE referees that you probably did not know

Republished from Sportskeeda

(Scott Armstrong)

Whenever a wrestling match happens, our eyes will be rooted to the superstars competing in it. We would be cheering for the right one to win and at the same time would be enjoying the artwork that these artists put together.

However, there is a category that we often forget, the referees. Although Referees are an integral part of a wrestling match, they are often underrated.

We do not even care about which referee does which match even though there is huge importance for the same. There are a lot of such things that we probably do not know about the WWE referees and this list is going to take a look at some of the interesting ones from the lot.
