John Cena No doubt main eventing the show, this showdown will be a clash between the two dominant figures of the WWE over the last 15 years.
Sasha Banks A Wrestlemania rematch, the duo put on a classic in April that saw Belair be coronated as one of the bright young stars of the company. Edge vs. Packers is on and how to watch it via live online stream P. Proving to be the exception to the rule of TNA's inept booking patterns, the promotion scored on a uniquely booked feud between Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle, where they took cues from the red hot sport of MMA to build up to an shoot-style bout between the two stars at the Lockdown pay-per-view.
At the pay-per-view, multiple big name talents were interviewed as to whom they felt would win between Joe and Angle. The match was treated as a big deal throughout the pay-per-view, and it did not disappoint as Samoa Joe captured his first TNA Heavyweight Championship. Like all great wrestling storylines, the feud was simple. Chris Jericho, the heel, accused Shawn Michaels of being a liar and a hypocrite as Michaels faked an injury to win a match against Batista.
Jericho was right in his accusations, but became obsessed with them to the point of delusion. The angle's peak began when Jericho inadvertently struck Michaels' wife at SummerSlam, and the two would blowoff the hot feud with an incredible ladder match at No Mercy in The forbidden romance caused a large amount of controversy in TNA, as TNA President Dixie Carter was legit disgusted by Jarrett's actions and urged him to take a leave of absence from the company.
Nobody was more disgusted by all this than Kurt Angle, who has admitted that he almost quit the company entirely after learning of his ex-wife's relationship with Jarrett. Once things blew over, TNA was presented with the perfect opportunity for a storyline, and the Angle-Jarrett s saga was born.
The rivalry featured a handful of stellar matches between Angle and Jarrett, including a death-defying match at Lockdown from earlier this year. The feud was blown off in a parking lot brawl between Angle and Jarrett, and after Angle got the better of Jarrett, the former TNA Champion implicitly announced he was going to Mexico.
When Austin became WWE Champion, the sky seemed to be the limit for the promising antihero, but he needed a villain who matched his potent popularity with shear evil. Enter Vincent Kennedy McMahon, who had slowly evolved into a maniacal boss, stemming from the events of the Montreal Screwjob where there was no going back to his straight laced announcer image.
Once Vince McMahon became Mr. McMahon, he and Austin were able to effortlessly captivate the emotions and sentiments of any average wrestling viewer who wants nothing more than to attack authority figures. The rivalry helped carry the WWE to never before seen heights as Austin and McMahon managed to keep their feud fresh through a variety of angles, stunts, and even matches.
Hall and Nash teased that a third man would be joining them, and at Bash at the Beach in , the shocking third man was revealed to be none other than Hulk Hogan who turned on team WCW. Soonafter, the Atlanta-based company would out of business. The Montreal Screwjob was a real life incident turn decade long storyline that plagued the legendary career of Bret "the Hitman" Hart while spearheading the mid-nineties rise of the WWE.
In a story that has been told though backstage reporting as well as rehashed angles, Bret Hart was to leave the WWE and was insistent upon going over in his final match which was to be held in his home country of Canada. The two agreed that the match would end in a disqualification, with Bret Hart agreeing to vacate the title the following night on RAW. The would be appearance was to occur despite Hart's contract with WWE being expired.

And sometimes we might not necessarily agree, and we'd go and talk to Vince. Once talent has had its cut, the entire creative team gets a final chance to perfect the finished product.
Even then, it's not considered truly complete until it hits the air on the USA Network in front of an average audience of between four and five million viewers a week. And even then, it's living and changing. But the reality of it is, the story is the magic It's about characters and their relationship. That's a storyline. We are more like the Rocky movie than we are like a sport.
The storylines are what's important. In the end, every pitch, every discussion between creative equals, every argument, ends up adjudicated by a single decision-maker. It's a collaborative effort, but there's one general. And that guy makes the final call. There's never an open-ended debate between four people about what should happen on the shows.
At some point it gets to Vince, and Vince goes, 'Here's what we're going to do. Listed at a generous 5'10" and an even more generous pounds, and sporting a beard that would make a Brooklyn hipster proud, Daniel Bryan doesn't resemble the wrestlers of our childhood. His muscles, though sturdy, would never be described as bulging.
His interviews, likewise, are toned down from the screaming fits that characterized wrestling in the s. His is a different kind of sports entertainment: fast-paced, hard-hitting and realistic. Many of WWE's most ardent fans believe that cult sensations like Bryan, and their burgeoning popularity, fly under the company's radar—that crowd favorites are somehow invisible to those in authority, or worse, politically unpopular, unable to overcome perceived resistance from decision-makers at the top level.
But in our exclusive interviews, a different picture emerged. Contrary to fan complaints, WWE was watching Bryan's ascent closely and waiting for its time to strike. That anyone could see. The fact that our fans were connecting with him on an even more emotional level—and then when we started telling the story the way they got behind him, we just knew that he was the right guy.
In Daniel Bryan, eternal underdog, Triple H knew he had a great good guy. What he needed was a villain worthy of him. Vince, now 69, was no longer a regular television character and couldn't resume that role opposite Bryan full time.
Instead, Triple H and Stephanie decided they would step into his shoes, returning from time off-screen to take a lead role on television in much the same way they had behind the scenes. Neither, of course, was any stranger to the ring. Triple H was an icon in his own right, a performer who remained relevant across the eras and over the years. Stephanie, too, had spent years on camera as part of WWE storylines, later graduating to take over the company's creative department, preparing to one day step forward as the face of what is now a corporate behemoth.
But this would be a creative role unlike any she had ever played. The two saw a pair of distinct but related missions as they decided to go forward with this story. The first was well under way—making fans fall in love with the unlikely Bryan. The harder job, they thought, would be making Stephanie one of the most believable, gleefully evil characters in WWE history, a match for her father in every way. Because while Triple H would be there, his legend and physical presence lending strength and credibility, the true villain was Stephanie.
I had the unique opportunity to really grow and learn from him directly. To hear his feedback on other characters and performers. To ask questions, to not only him but to my husband, who is really an expert psychologist. To learn the whys of what we do.
Then you can focus on the how. Years in the creative department had honed Stephanie McMahon's ability to deliver exactly the kind of character the script called for, shifting effortlessly from noxious charm to sneering superiority with the flip of a mental switch. I grew as an executive in my corporate role. The boardroom can actually be just as intense as WWE's ring.
