Our fans speak
June 11, 2007
Over the past week, WWE.com asked our fans what they wanted to see happen in this year's draft. Below are the results:
Hardy's hell week
June 10, 2007
Looking back at the last seven days, it’s safe to say that this might have been one of the worst weeks of Matt Hardy’s in-ring career. One week ago, Matt and brother Jeff survived a brutal Ladder Match against The World’s Greatest Tag Team at One Night Stand…and that was the easy part. Because come the next night on Raw, The Hardys ran into a delusional, maniacal Mr. McMahon, and that’s when the trouble began.
It's Do or Die again for The Animal
June 8, 2007
WWE.com learned Friday that Mr. McMahon has scheduled the rematch between Edge and The Animal for Vengeance: Night of Champions, with a “Last Chance” stipulation that could bring this heated rivalry to an end.

Hypotheticals abound with next week's WWE Draft
June 8, 2007

Since "mock drafts" are popular in other professional sports’ media coverage, WWE.com came up with some of the possible scenarios that could arise next week in the Keystone State.
Headshrinking Mr. McMahon
June 8, 2007
If you’re one of our fans who has questioned Mr. McMahon’s mental stability over the years, his disturbing behavior on Raw, ECW and SmackDown this week has put to rest any doubt: He’s insane. Bonkers. Board-certifiably nuts.

Should HBK hang it up?
June 7, 2007
The severity of Shawn Michaels’ concussion from Randy Orton’s disgusting punt to the face has many of our fans debating whether an in-ring return is even a reality for HBK. Although doctors have said Michaels’ condition has neither improved nor worsened, there is still no official word if he’ll ever perform again.
Divided, who stands?
June 7, 2007
As the WWE Draft looms ever closer (Raw, Monday on USA Network, at a special time of 8/7 CT), the Superstars of Raw, SmackDown and ECW grow increasingly concerned over the fate — and brand — awaiting them. And it’s doubly troubling for the Superstars who constitute one-half of a tag team.
Melina's mad as hell
June 6, 2007
The last thing Melina expected as Women’s Champion was to be pinned in a pool of porous pudding by Candice Michelle. But after her defeat in a Pudding Match at One Night Stand, this fudge-stained failure isn’t something the red carpet Diva intends on letting (mud)slide.
The man behind the flames of 'Ghost Rider'
June 6, 2007

The special effects reminded our fans of the sound, elaborate sets, pyro and, of course, the unpredictable action of the WWE Superstars that’s seen at our live events each week.
Has the Chairman lost it?
June 5, 2007

Blue-collar boys break vows, beat bruised Hardys for titles
June 5, 2007
TAMPA, Fla. – The team of Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch said repeatedly that if they stuck to the rulebook and showed good sportsmanship, they would be rewarded. And as Raw wound to a close, Cade and Murdoch were busy posing in a photo studio with their newly-won World Tag Team Championships – a reward that was a long time coming.
Edge Knocks, Opportunity Answers
June 5, 2007
Face facts, gang: When opportunity knocks, Edge ultimately answers. Especially when said opportunity carries World Championship gold.
McMahon-iac at large

Another legend killed
June 4, 2007
Rob Van Dam may have defeated Randy Orton in their Stretcher Match at One Night Stand, but only Orton was able to walk out of the arena afterwards.
Jim Ross in Being There
May 31, 2007
After nearly a decade worth of commentating on Raw and approximately 30 years of experience as a sportscaster, it’s no surprise that Jim Ross has witnessed many “slobberknocker” moments in his time. With so many years of experience and being, as many like to call him, “a walking encyclopedia,” we can’t help but wonder what are J.R.’s top “slobberknocker’ moments of all time?

May 25, 2007
It’s been a long 10 months away from the SmackDown terrain for its self-proclaimed King of the Jungle.

Khali crushes Cena's spirit?
May 16, 2007
For three straight weeks on Raw, the 7-foot tall Mastodon demonstrated the brute force he possesses by leaving Cena unable to stand, let alone defend himself.
