Podcasts, not matches, dominated the WWE headlines in the first week of December.
In one of those podcasts, fans watched Vince McMahon reminisce with Steve Austin, offering one of the most intriguing WWE Network exclusives to date. In another, CM Punk finally spoke out about his abrupt departure from the company. Rather than provide closure, though, it shined a spotlight on alleged shady medical practices.
Even with all the negative press that came out of that, the show had to go on.
WWE's programming didn't deliver much in the ring. It did, however, set up two upcoming shows well. There's plenty of reason to be excited about the main event for the next NXT live special as well as WWE's midcard belts.
