The WWE world has been facing quite some turbulence lately, and recent reports all seem to add up to it. After the Cody Rhodes-Roman Reigns-The Rock drama, now reports are revealing that even the upcoming Elimination Chamber scheduled to be held in Perth had to surpass quite a few barricades just to reach fans on its planned day and date.
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)
This Elimination Chamber almost wouldn’t have been possible because of all the changes in plans induced by pirates. Yes, you read it right. It was indeed pirates who caused this turbulence for WWE. And not pirates like Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, no: It was real-life pirates who caused panic in WWE before the Elimination Chamber!

It looks like we’re getting more Graves on WWE now that John Layfield’s stepped down. That’s exciting news for Graves and for a lot of Kinshasa fans because now we’ll be seeing the talented commentator and announcer on Smackdown Live as well. He’ll be giving up his post on 205 Live and Main Event, but we feel that this is a good move for both parties. We’ve compiled a few things you might not know about the wrestler-turned-commentator, and we think you’ll be surprised by most of them. 1. Graves was only 14 when he started professional training. That’s right.

Earlier last month we were given our first look at the brand new WWE 2K18 with a teaser and new cover man Seth Rollins. Today 2K Sports and the WWE have given us new information on some of the game modes and updates to the newest installment to long running series.
First off the Creation Suite is getting even deeper into creating a unique to you atmosphere for professional wrestling. A brand new Create-a-match feature joins the new and improved Create-a-Superstar, Create-a-Arena, and Create-a-Video.
We are also getting a brand new story mode in the MyCAREER mode. This will include a free-roaming backstage area that will allow you to interact with other WWE Superstars. Not only will it help to direct the narrative of the MyCAREER, but it will incorporate a new experience with MyPLAYER, that will add brand new fighting styles and new upgrades to the progressive system we have already come to love.

Prior to the event, during the TakeOver kick-off show, we found out the results of the Nxt Awards, and so I figured I’d begin this article with the results of them.
Match of the Year: Diy vs. The Revival (2 out of 3 Falls/TakeOver Toronto)
Breakout Star of the Year: Peyton Royce & Billie Kay
Tag Team of the Year: The Revival
Woman of the Year: Asuka
Male of the Year: Shinsuke Nakamura
Nxt Superstar of the Year: Shinsuke Nakamura
Nxt Takeover events have been a high quality time and time again in the last few years, and with Nxt currently going through a “rebuilding” stage on its roster, with new talents coming in and well-known ones gone to the main roster, its an interesting time. Still, regardless of the stars that have departed Nxt in the last few months, there are still plenty of men and women to get excited about,...

We are a few days away from the Royal Rumble. Monday Night Raw is in the books. How did the flagship show for the WWE do this week to prepare the fans for one of their biggest shows of the year?
I really enjoyed the sit down interviews between Bayley and Charlotte Flair, hyping their match for the Raw Women’s Championship at the Royal Rumble. Thinking back ten years ago, women were not given an opportunity to give promos like this. Granted, most of the women the WWE had on the roster ten years ago were more concerned about getting a television show credit on their resume than on performing well in the ring but that’s another story all together. The interview with Bayley did a lot to expand on her character for the casual audience. Nxt fans are well aware of how good she is on the...
