Exclusive Interview: How Roman Reigns survived the craziest year ever to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion Barring incident, Roman Reigns will close 2015 as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, which is a far sight better than the way he started it. After winning the 2015 Royal Rumble Match to a less-than-enviable reception from a Philadelphia crowd who wanted to see Daniel Bryan go the distance, The Big Dog mounted what was, in essence, a yearlong redemption tour he hadn’t planned on. Rebuilding his game from the ground up, Reigns clawed his way back from a heartbreaking WrestleMania loss to finally put all the pieces together and capture not only the title, but something far more elusive: The favor of a WWE Universe that had turned hostile. Seven days after Reigns’ year came full circle, WWE.com called up the new champion to discuss the ups and downs of his 2015, from sharing the ring with Bryan to finally winning the “respect” of the crowd at the end of the craziest

Brock Lesnar went into Hell itself to settle his score with The Undertaker, and he returned to the light with his soul intact. The Deadman, on the other hand, remains in the darkness, ensnared in the clutches of the one Superstar who may be more sinister than he. Undertaker’s unlucky 13th trip inside Satan’s domain came at a crucial juncture for The Last Outlaw. The high stakes would explain the early mind games by The Undertaker, who rolled his eyes into his head and stuck his serpentine tongue out at The Beast Incarnate before ever throwing a punch. Lesnar, of course, turned that terror against The Phenom by way of the hammering blows and blunt-force attacks that landed him at the top of the heap in UFC.  With each man suffering injuries that drew blood, the eternal rivals turned Hell in a Cell into the gruesome butcher shop it was once known as. Undertaker, smelling blood in the water — literally — was the first to exploit the lawlessness of the Cell by bringing a chair

In the last game of his career, the French legend, who had put his nation ahead earlier in the match, was sent off in extra time for head-butting Italian defender Marco Materazzi in the chest. The dismissal meant that Zidane was unable to participate in the all-important penalty shoot-out, which Italy won 5-3 to claim the trophy. The incident stunned the football world, with rumors flying around over what exactly the defender said to the former Real Madrid man, and the midfielder refusing to apologize to his opponent. And now, six years on, a five-meter high bronze statue of the head-butt has been erected in the forecourt of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, complete with Materazzi's painful facial expression, just in case the 40-year-old former playmaker forgets about his actions. Passers by, including tourists from Italy, have been seen posing for pictures in front of the piece of art, if you can call it that.

Four of the Superstars who will compete in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Heavyweight Championship Contract Sunday all converged in tag team action on "ZackDown" as Intercontinental Champion Christian & United States Champion Santino Marella took on Dolph Ziggler & Cody Rhodes. Christian mixed it up with old foe Cody Rhodes to kick off the match, and after a fast-paced back-and-forth exchange, Christian tagged Santino into the fray. The move incited Rhodes to loudly declare that he wanted "nothing to do with" the U.S. Champion, and the second-generation Superstar quickly tagged in Ziggler so The Showoff and The Milan Miracle could face off.   Momentum swung between the two teams until Ziggler, looking to prove that he’s one of WWE’s elite Superstars come Money in the Bank, took advantage of an opening afforded to him after Santino came up empty with a Cobra strike thanks to a disturbance by Rhodes. Christian quickly ente

SAN DIEGO – WWE Superstars Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler and announcer Justin Roberts were involved in a car accident just outside of downtown San Diego on Friday afternoon just after 5:00 p.m. PT. Traveling in a limousine, the three were rear-ended as they were transported from Comic-Con : International at the San Diego Convention Center. "It was a quiet ride since Dolph and I don’t get along. Then, all of a sudden, the brakes hit and I slid down the couch part of the limo. The driver stopped and the car behind us hit us," Zack Ryder said. "I landed on the floor and my neck hit the edge of the chair," Ryder added. "Ziggler went flying. Justin went flying. The car hit us full speed; we all got thrown from our seats. My neck is a little sore. That’s it. We’re all OK though." Local paramedics examined the former United States Champion and his fellow passengers, finding no major injuries, according to Ryder. "It was a big limo, so we co
