World Wresting Entertainment (WWE) is described as an “integrated media and entertainment company” but most know it as the biggest wrestling promotion in the world.
The origins of the company date back to 1952 with Vince McMahon joining the business in 1954 to push the wrestling promotion to new grounds with Toots Mondt.
McMahon has been the CEO of the WWE since 1980 but the promotion was known as the WWF for a while.
The company has survived despite loads of competition from other companies such as WCW and ECW.
The WWE actually owns all the content regarding the two rivals while ECW was run shortly under the WWE for a while.
Raw was the flagship brand for the WWE but they had to launch another brand, SmackDown due to the abundance of talent from other promotions.
These two have been going on strong with ECW running for a few years. Raw and SmackDown continue to run while NXT has been the rising star of the WWE in recent times.
NXT has seen several stars come through the ranks and then make it to the bigger Raw and SmackDown brands.
205 Live is a special brand only for the Cruiserweights, which went off air for a while but has retuned in recent months.
The WWE has seen several stars reach cult status thanks to their work in the ring.
From the legendary Dusty Rhodes to more current stars like the Undertaker, the WWE has always provided fans something to cheer or boo.
Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Triple H, Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Snuka and the Ultimate Warrior are some of the best to have been in the ring.
Several stars have also made it to the big and small screen with the Miz, the Rock and John Cena acting in movies and TV shows.
Some of the best talent in the ring now include Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan and
Stephanie McMahon has been pushing the female division of the WWE in recent years with more emphasis on in-ring talent rather than other attributes.
Trish Status, Lita and Victoria were some of the best in the ring but Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Asuka, Bayley, Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss are some of the current female stars fighting for honours.
The three brands are shown on a weekly basis but the WWE has several specials which take place once every year.
There are more than 12 specials spread across the calendar with WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble the three biggest.
Most of the specials feature matches from Raw and SmackDown with NXT having their own shows, however, there are some which are exclusive to the two big brands.
The specials also are longer than the weekly shows and Crown Jewel has been one of the recent additions which are broadcast from Saudi Arabia.
We aim to provide stories and features related to the world of WWE which go beyond the normal news that is shared daily.
Special stories, reports, analysis and features make for interesting reading as we look to cover every corner of one of the most entertaining shows in the world.
