Total Divas' Season 2, Episode 3 recap: The Slappening

The wheels come off the bus (figuratively speaking) on E!'s “Total Divas” when Daniel Bryan’s two hard-and-fast rules for his cash-guzzling, ozone-depleting mobile palace are both violated in short and enthusiastic order by his gaggle of unruly co-passengers. The Beard declares the bus experiment an abject failure, and his metaphorical headache soon becomes manifest when he gets banged up during a match on Raw and is forced to take a few days off while he recuperates. On the bright side, at least he’s off the bus. Highlights: Bryan dissects Cameron's debut single  |  Who had the Sound Byte of the Week? Meanwhile, lingering gossip surrounding Summer Rae has recast her as some kind of salacious flirt in the eyes of the Divas, and it’s not long before the whole crew (minus Eva Marie) is turning their noses up at the newbie. Summer attempts to clear her name through an innocent – if handsy – conference with Bryan, but that just gets her in deeper trouble when Bri...

Is WWE Ready for a Six-Man Tag Team Championship?

Six-Man Tag Team Matches have been the premier form of combat in WWE since The Shield stormed on the scene at Survivor Series 2012. Since that night, Superstars have been teaming up in trios to try and take out The Hounds of Justice, and it’s led to some of the most thrilling bouts in WWE history. But what is it about these melees that gets the WWE Universe so pumped up? Watch The Shield's debut match at WWE TLC 2012 on WWE Network “There’s so many elements involved,” Seth Rollins  explained to WWE.com. “There are six guys, all with different styles. The way those two teams interact with each other creates a lot of combustible elements that gets the energy higher.” With the arrival of The Wyatt Family last summer, the action in the ring only got hotter. Everyone from John Cena  to El Torito paired up in threes to try and knock off the two hottest trios in WWE. After battling anyone who stood in their paths, The Shield and The Wyatts clashed in absolute wars th...

Exclusive: Natalya dishes on ‘Total Divas’ tension

To say E!’s “Total Divas” changed Natalya’s life would be an understatement. Since the behind-the-scenes reality series began filming last year, the former Divas Champion’s triumphs and downfalls have been chronicled by an omnipresent camera crew, capturing everything from a grandiose (but drama-filled) wedding to longtime boyfriend Tyson Kidd to the tearful passing of her beloved cat, Gismo. After Season 1, Natalya is often perceived as one of the more reserved “Total Divas,” leaving the pot-stirring to the outspoken Cameron or the attention-grabbing Eva Marie. However, with the addition of Summer Rae to the Season 2 cast, viewers will get to know a whole new side of Nattie — one that’s not about to let the sashaying newcomer’s brash attitude go unchecked. Before the return of “Total Divas,” Natalya sat down with WWE.com to sound off on Summer Rae joining the cast and the catfights and chaos the WWE Universe can expect this time around. WWE.COM: Let’s get right to...

NXT 10-Count: Sami Zayn

Who is Sami Zayn's celebrity crush? How does the Montreal native feel about comparisons to Seth Rogen? And could we see Zayn vs. Cesaro one more time? Sami Zayn is in the hot seat this week answering questions from you, the NXT Universe.  WWE UNIVERSE: How do you prepare for your matches?   SAMI ZAYN : Sometimes I listen to music on my headphones and walk around backstage acting weird. But in recent years, I’ve found it better to avoid trying to “get in the zone” so I just stay loose, go out when it’s my turn, and feel the moment as it comes.  WWE UNIVERSE: I've noticed that you're a punk rock fan. What bands would be on your fantasy lineup?  ZAYN : Rancid, Against Me!, The Bouncing Souls, Street Dogs, Dropkick Murphys. It would be pretty sweet if Operation Ivy also re-formed for this one fantasy evening.  WWE UNIVERSE: Could you see yourself facing Cesaro again?  ZAYN : There is no doubt in my mind that our paths will cross again one day.

Hulk Hogan opens up about Randy Savage, The Mega Powers and why WrestleMania V means so much to him

In the late 1980s, Hulk Hogan and “Macho Man” Randy Savage formed one of the most powerful partnerships in sports-entertainment history. With the lovely Miss Elizabeth by their side, The Powers battled WWE’s baddies over the course of an entire year. But when the jealous Savage became overly protective of Elizabeth, it drove a wedge between the two competitors that resulted in The Mega Powers “exploding” in an emotional main event at WrestleMania V. Twenty-five years have passed since that legendary battle. And to honor the occasion, WWE.com spoke with “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan, who let his guard down to reveal behind-the-scenes details about The Mega Powers, how the two biggest stars of the wrestling’s boom period reconciled decades later and why he still misses his old friend. .............................................................. WWE.COM : What are your first memories that come to mind when you think about The Mega Powers exploding at WrestleMania V in Atlantic City?  H...

Nine Superstars who pulled double duty at WrestleMania

On April 6, someone’s pulling double-duty at WrestleMania 30. Whether it’s Daniel Bryan or Triple H remains to be seen, but one of them is guaranteed a second match, since the winner of their singles contest immediately becomes the third participant in Randy Orton and Batista’s bout for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Watch Yokozuna compete twice in one night at WrestleMania X on WWE Network Whoever it ends up being will join some appropriately elite company. Only nine Superstars — seven of them WWE Hall of Famers — have previously competed more than once on the same Show of Shows. From Yokozuna to, of course, Hulk Hogan, these are the rare Superstars who can boast multiple WrestleMania moments at the same WrestleMania. So, before this select club welcomes its 10th member, here they are in all their glory — the Superstars so nice they wrestled twice.

Where Are They Now?: Jonathan Coachman

He even mixed it up in the ring a few times. Those unique experiences have prepared The Coach for his current gig at ESPN, where he calls the highlights on SportsCenter, hosts his own radio shows and takes part in the network’s NFL coverage. Classic Coach photos  | Current photos  |  Video highlights Coachman grew up playing as many sports as possible and went on to play basketball at McPherson College in Kansas.
