The New Day’s Move To ‘SmackDown’ In Superstar Shakeup Scrapped Due To Kofi Kingston Injury?

Last week on RAW, The New Day made the abrupt transition from WrestleMania hosts back to regular in-ring performers when they issued an open challenge to any tag team backstage.

Superstar Shakeup Leaving Many ‘RAW’ And ‘SmackDown’ Talent In The Dark

The Superstar Shakeup offers a new wrinkle to the WWE’s brand extension concept, abandoning the traditional draft process — for 2017 at least.

The Undertaker’s ‘WrestleMania’ Send-Off: Backstage Reaction & Potential Follow-Up To The Deadman’s Farewell

The Undertaker’s last ride into the midnight hour on Sunday may very well end up defining WrestleMania 33 one day.
