The rise of Kofi Kingston has been something that has really caught the WWE Universe by storm. Despite currently being replaced in the WWE title match at Fastlane, most predict that the New Day members will certainly see a title opportunity down the road, perhaps even at Wrestlemania.

Well, if we wanted shock and awe this week, we certainly got it. From Batista’s return by assaulting Ric Flair and setting up the stage for a match against Triple H at Wrestlemania, to Roman Reigns’ amazing news that his leukaemia is now in remission, both shows certainly had enough surprising developments this week.

This Saturday is the fourth instalment of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn (4) and the marquee match was originally scheduled to be the NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa defending against former champion Aleister Black and Ciampa’s former partner now bitter enemy Johnny Gargano.

So after some brief speculation, we are going to see a reunion of “Team Hell No” consisting of Daniel Bryan and Kane taking on the Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan) at Extreme Rules for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships.
