Now that WrestleMania 31 has come and gone, we have the rest of the year to look forward to. There's a lot to look forward to, including the return of Brock Lesnar and the eventual call-up of some of NXT's best and brightest stars. The first PPV of the post-Mania stretch is Extreme Rules . This PPV typically tends to be pretty good and feature some exciting matches and storylines. Last year, Daniel Bryan had his first-ever (and only) WWE World Heavyweight Championship title defense against Kane in an Extreme Rules Match and The Shield battled Evolution in one of the best six-man tag matches of the year.

The year before that, Brock Lesnar made his in-ring return in a bloody brawl against John Cena and Sheamus put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Daniel Bryan in a four-star match.

While there is no guarantee that every other future crowd will love him, things are looking up for Roman Reigns. Now that fans know that Reigns is not being unconditionally shoved down th...

Not all wrestlers can be a big star. For every Triple H, Shawn Michaels, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, John Cena, and Chris Jericho, there's a Trent Barreta, Caylen Croft, Jacob Novak, Lucky Cannon, and Percy Watson. Most stars who sign with the WWE will never reach the top echelon, try as they might. However, it doesn't mean that the other stars can't get anywhere either. Why should they be stuck in creative limbo? Unfortunately, a lot of current superstars are stuck in creative limbo. The creative team just doesn't have anything for them. It's really unfortunate, as these are talented guys and they deserve better. It just feels like the WWE doesn't really care about them. So, in order to combat this problem, I've come up with ways to help boost the careers of ten floundering stars. If the WWE takes some tips from this article (especially the last one), it would definitely help some guys out. Let's get started. 10. Make The Ascension more Po...
