WWE Raw : The Shield goes hunting and Kane puts Bryan through hell

Stephanie McMahon called out WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan Something is not sitting right with one of WWE’s principal owners, and it’s the state of affairs surrounding the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan. Despite the heartfelt address the “Yes!” Man delivered to the WWE Universe less than an hour earlier, Stephanie McMahon – who’s lately asserted herself as Bryan’s primary front-office foe thanks to Triple H’s preoccupation with The Shield – more or less insinuated Bryan’s injury was proof positive of what she’s been saying all along: That Bryan can’t hang with the “A-plus players” of WWE. Watch: Kane puts Bryan through hell She demanded a face-to-face with the Champion of Champions, but what she got was a glimpse of just how far she’d gone by returning Kane’s mask to him: The former Director of Operations emerged instead of Bryan, dragging the bearded husk of his former tag-team partner and depositing him on the stage Stephanie, who could onl

WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Big Show

The Authority’s settlement with Big Show may not have cost millions of dollars or control of the company, but it could very well put in jeopardy The Face of WWE. At the 27th Annual Survivor Series, the big anti-Authority who packs dynamite in his fist will challenge Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, a condition of the seven-footer’s very public out-of-court settlement with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Watch a video preview of The Face vs. The Fist The championship bout comes after months of Big Show being subjected to humiliating power plays by The Authority. Fueled by pent-up rage, the keeper of the KO Punch undoubtedly relishes the opportunity to dismantle Triple H and Stephanie’s chosen one and reclaim the WWE Title in one fell swoop. WWE’s fall classic has historically been very kind to The World’s Largest Athlete: Big Show, a six-time World Champion, began both of his WWE Title reigns at Survivor Series. In 1999, he defeated Triple H and The Rock in a Triple Threat Matc

NFL Pittsburgh Steelers Should Open And Stick With No-Huddle Against The Browns

Ben Roethlisberger played his best game of the season last week, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the playoff hunt after a slow start. Now Roethlisberger will look to build off that performance Sunday when the Steelers travel to face their AFC North rival Cleveland Browns , whom he has dominated throughout his career. Last Sunday, Roethlisberger threw for 367 yards and four touchdowns without an interception as the Steelers (4-6) defeated the Lions 37-27. The win was the team's fourth in six games after starting 0-4. For his performance, Roethlisberger was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week. " We've got to keep this thing going," said Pittsburgh wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery , who caught the last of Roethlisberger's four touchdowns, a 20-yard strike in the fourth quarter. " Our margin for error is nonexistent right now. We feel good about this team and we're going to keep grinding." Currently tied with the Browns (4-6) in both t
