Daniel Bryan made his second appearance on WWE television this week, ruling over Friday Night SmackDown and ensuring that the members of Team Authority did not have an easy night of in-ring action. Seth Rollins was booked to battle the seemingly unstoppable Ryback. Rusev was forced into a Battle Royal for his United States Championship, and intercontinental champion Luke Harper defended against Dolph Ziggler in the night's main event. Turncoat The Big Show had continuing issues with Erick Rowan, who eliminated the World's Largest Athlete from the aforementioned Battle Royal. AJ Lee's rivalry with Nikki Bella turned personal, and The New Day ...

After a shaky start, the final week of WWE's promotional tactic of offering a free month to new WWE Network subscribers has produced some excellent in-ring content that will undoubtedly attract many to the service. There were good matches on television, too, but the real standouts this week came on the Network.   Honourable Mentions The main event of this week's edition of NXT was a superb match between Tyson Kidd and Finn Balor. It seems that Balor is having no trouble adjusting to the WWE style—expect great things from this one. Luke Harper and Dolph Ziggler put on another good match on SmackDown, but ...

Every week on Bleacher Report, I take an in-depth look at WWE SmackDown to recap the action, offer analysis and grade the matches, segments and anything else that takes place on the show. I also provide some predictions on the direction of storylines. WWE is still riding high from Survivor Series, but they now have to worry about building Tables, Ladders and Chairs, which is just over two weeks away. This week's SD saw United States and Intercontinental title matches take place and some more of Daniel Bryan booking former members of the Authority in tough situations. Bryan was unclear about any kind of timetable ...

CM Punk rose up the ranks of professional wrestling thanks to his in-ring prowess. Yet, his ability to command attention on the microphone took him to another level. Now he's creating problems for the WWE by using that talent to discuss his exit from the company. The Superstar formerly known as the Voice of the Voiceless spoke out during an appearance on the Art of Wrestling podcast with Colt Cabana (some language NSFW). He talked about a wide range of topics concerning his departure after the Royal Rumble and the various issues leading up to that moment. If nothing else, it's an ...

Going into Sunday's Survivor Series pay-per-view event, WWE was touting the return of Fandango on the kickoff show. Fandango spent time on the sidelines after being taken off WWE TV in late August and was expected to be repackaged upon his return. The "new and improved" Fandango entered the Scottrade Center in St. Louis to an unfamiliar tune as his latest valet, Rosa Mendes, danced in the ring. Sporting an all-new look, he seemed to have undergone a makeover during his absence. However, in actuality, there really wasn't much different about Fandango at all. Sure, WWE have may tweaked the character a bit, ...

Survivor Series flavored WWE's best social media of Thanksgiving week. Sting showing up at the climax of the event, The Miz and his stunt double walking out of St. Louis with gold and Dolph Ziggler's comeback win inspired the top tweets, videos and Instagram photos of the WWE world. Survivor Series' past shockers made the list as well. We begin, though, with Vader. WWE chose to highlight the former WCW champ in its latest 30 Seconds of Fury video. The result is a rapid-fire look at one of the most athletic big men in wrestling history. In the compilation, we see Vader moonsault ...

Former WWE Superstar CM Punk is steadfast in his assertion that he will never again set foot in a WWE ring, but history suggests that even the biggest grudges have an expiration date in wrestling. Punk hasn't competed in nearly one year after being eliminated late in the 2014 Royal Rumble match. He has remained silent about the circumstances surrounding his departure but finally spoke up in a tell-all interview on Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast (some language NSFW): There were plenty of revelations in the nearly two-hour interview, but none stand out more than Punk's description of the manner in which ...

As WWE NXT hyped up its next live special, Bayley and Finn Balor made the most of their time in the spotlight. Bayley made the audience emotional through revealing a bit of herself and suffering on stage. Balor faced a man who has been acting as NXT's yardstick and made it clear that he's already comfortable between WWE's ropes. The Thanksgiving edition of NXT didn't feature all upward movement, though. Marcus Louis, for one, watched other prospects pass him by. The following rankings identify who is most ready for the main roster and who would most thrive once they got there. Ring skills, mic work, ...

What was developing into an extraordinary match between Tyson Kidd and Finn Balor Thursday night on NXT was interrupted and ruined by The Ascension, who targeted Balor but soon found themselves in a war with him and tag team partner Hideo Itami. Those two teams will meet on December 11 at NXT Takeover: R Evolution, an event that will also feature NXT tag team champions Kalisto and Sin Cara defending against the Vaudevillains, a feud that was unexpectedly and heavily featured Thursday night. Bayley again found herself on the receiving end of a two-on-one beatdown by Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks this ...
