Controversy abounded on last week's show as Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville tied in the Beat the Clock Challenge to determine a No. 1 contender. This week's show would be headlined by a match between the two standout performers to determine who gets the next shot at Bo Dallas' NXT Championship. Speaking of Bo Dallas, he too would be in competition this week, going one-on-one with CJ Parker. Would the '60s reject pose a threat to Dallas, or would the NXT champion make short work of him? Also on this week's show, Tyler Breeze would attempt to gain a measure of revenge after ...

Right now isn't the best time to be a fan of the WWE, as it is difficult to remember a time when the product was more stagnant than it is at the moment. That was proven this past week with Survivor Series, Raw and SmackDown all failing to make a lasting impact in the eyes of the fans. After successfully retaining their titles at Survivor Series, World Heavyweight Champion John Cena and WWE Champion Randy Orton are set to meet in a TLC match at the upcoming WWE TLC event in a championship unification match. Will the titles actually be merged, ...

What a difference a year can make, especially in the WWE. This past January, CM Punk was still the WWE champion. His last interaction with The Shield came before the Royal Rumble, where he requested that they not interfere in his match against The Rock.  Both sides would not cross paths for 11 months. CM Punk and The Shield never squared off against each other in a big pay-per-view match. However, recent events are evidently forcing these two sides to collide. Punk teamed with Daniel Bryan in a handicap match against The Shield on the November 11 edition of Raw. It ended in ...

WWE has only given themselves three weeks to prepare for this year's annual Tables Ladder and Chairs pay-per-view, but they have already made some big plans. Projecting the direction of some of the big storylines is easy, but not all of the current angles are as predictable as usual. The big program at the moment is the possible unification of the WWE and World Championship titles. We haven't had one top champion in over 10 years, and WWE has set a match to determine just who exactly belongs on the top of the mountain. But that's not the only thing happening in WWE ...

Every week here on Bleacher Report, I will take an in-depth look at SmackDown, recapping all of the action, offering analysis and grading the matches, segments and anything else that takes place on the show, as well as provide some predictions on the direction of storylines. This week featured a few Thanksgiving segments, which has become a tradition on SmackDown. The show featured seven matches. Four of them took place in the first hour of the show, and the final hour was devoted to a tag match that turned into a six-man tag match that turned into a 12-man tag match. The show was split between ...

The Good, the Great and the Awesome is a much harder article to write when WWE presents a show as bad as Friday's Night's SmackDown was for the first hour. The matches themselves during that portion of the broadcast were lackluster, to say the least, and the attempts at comedy were embarrassing. But, this being an article determined to focus on the positives of WWE programming, I have managed to look beyond the nonsense and come up with several things that hit the mark this week. What were those things, and, more importantly, how good, great or awesome was the main event match ...

With John Cena and Randy Orton about to face off in a match that could potentially unify the WWE and world championships, it makes sense to take a look back at Cena's history at the themed pay-per-view. The fifth Tables, Ladders and Chairs PPV is coming up in just a couple of weeks, with this being Cena's fourth appearance at the event. Cena's history at the event is an interesting one. This is one of the events where he actually holds a losing record, having won only one match out of the previous three in which he's fought. TLC was where Sheamus defeated ...

Around the time the Attitude Era was beginning to come to an end at the turn of the century, the Hardcore Championship was still one of most-loved belts amongst wrestling fans. Its competitors—and the matches they competed in—provided viewers with high levels of entertainment and pure no holds barred wrestling unseen in any other division. Although the Attitude Era featured tonnes of matches with no real boundaries on the stipulations, the hardcore division consistently featured brutal, yet entertaining matches for the millions of fans watching around the world. Whilst the Hardcore Championship was always entertaining, it was given a real shot in ...

Thanksgiving and tributes inspired much of WWE's most intriguing social media items. Instagram, Twitter and YouTube played home to WWE's most famous turkey, Superstars and Divas giving back to the community, a tip of the hat to Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver, and remembrance of the late Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon. Images of CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Kaitlyn were among the week's social media highlights, too. Undertaker made his debut on Thanksgiving Day in 1990. He has been driving his foes' heads downward ever since. His Tombstone Piledriver is one of the most iconic moves in WWE history, often the final act before Undertaker celebrates ...
