WWE in 2013:

WWE have listed 13 reasons why 2013 will be their best year yet, including...

1. The Road to WrestleMania Leads to New York/New Jersey
Starting in Phoenix and ending at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., this year, The Road to WrestleMania will be long but rewarding. WWE brass has been mum on what we can expect at this year’s Show of Shows, but judging from the three men highlighted on the pay-per-view poster, it most certainly will be a special and explosive affair.

2. New Superstars!
Members of the WWE Universe with subscriptions to Hulu Plus have access to the brand-new NXT, featuring some of WWE’s youngest, best Superstars. The show is brimming with talent, and we can’t wait to watch these men and women move up to the main roster in the coming months.

4. Anniversaries!
Two very special 20-year milestones will be reached this year. In January, Raw turns 20, and after summer, September marks the month Paul Heyman took the reins of ECW. Also, this is the 20th anniversary of The Shockmaster. Judging by the way he works his way through walls, it’s still a relief he’s five more years away from renting cars.

7. Movie Blockbusters Mean New Kofi Gear
“Iron Man 3,” “G.I. Joe,” “Wolverine” and a rebooted “Superman” are all releasing in 2013. That’s good news for moviegoers and even better news for Kofi Kingston. The spring-loaded Superstar and comic supergeek will have no shortage of inspiration for his highly detailed superhero-themed ring gear.

8. WWE Insider! 
Launched in late 2012, WWE Insider offers all the premium photography and Heath Slater jokes you read in our magazine on the iPad, with Android and Kindle devices soon to follow. WWE Magazine turns the big 30 this year, and as a thank-you to readers, WWE Insider will highlight some of the best (and strangest) stories to have appeared in its pages.

13. AJ Lee — Future Divas Champion?
The “silver lining” in AJ Lee’s resignation as Raw General Manager isn’t that movie with Bradley Cooper and the girl who played Mystique, it’s that we might be able to see this young Diva evolve into an in-ring star. Is title gold in her future? Probably.

To see the full list you will have to wait until the WWE mag is released next month.

New Age Outlaws are back:

The legendary multiple time tag team champions will reunite and return to the ring for two WWE house shows, On December 27 and 28 in New York.

Match pulled:

CM Punk vs Ryback will not happen on Raw, the match will still be advertised and plugged on TV, but WWE do not want to risk his knee injury damaging the road to WrestleMania stories.

They also feel they can get some major heel heat for him by constantly screwing Ryback out of his title shot.

Owen Hart to Hall Of Fame:

WWE have reached out and offered to settle Martha Hart's lawsuit against them, in the hopes they can finally put her late husband Owen into the Hall Of Fame next year, Martha has today refused their request, despite being told to expect to lose her case against them when it is heard in court.

Big Boss Man is favourite to take his place, WWE have sent out the roster ballots for current stars to nominate who they want to see inducted in 2013.

Nigel McGuiness reveals WWE interest:

"Yeah they were interested for sure but it just kind of fizzled out which often happens. At the same time I had my first tour of Japan coming up so I spoke to WWE and let them know the situation and they said to contact them when I got back but nothing happened after that."

WWE Hall Of Famer on WCW, and quitting WWF:

Tito Santana has discussed his reasons for never joining WCW, and why he left WWF in 1993.

"No, no, because going to WCW, I'd have to be away from home and on the road again, Once I left the WWF, I had no desire to be on the road."

"[WWF] decided not to go to Spain, Mexico, and South America, and that was the end of Tito Santana. I called the merchandising department. I wanted to know how they were going to merchandise El Matador. They didn't have any merchandise planned. I told my wife that if they weren't going to do anything with me, then I should hang it up."

Shannon Moore to come out of retirement:

He will team with his former TNA partner Jesse Neal on January 19 in NC.
