However, she would always get back to her winning ways on PPVs with an unbeaten streak on the big shows. Who was the first woman to defeat her on a PPV?

WWE has stopped having the King of the Ring PPV, but the tournament returns every once in a while. Who's the only active full-time wrestler to win KOTR?

Whom did Bobby Roode defeat in his first singles match on the main roster?
The NXT run of Bobby Roode was a huge success. During his one year in NXT, Roode became the NXT Champion with star power and a classic entrance to the ring.

NXT started this due to Triple H’s vision of the new generation being good enough to earn the spotlight. We've only seen six women hold the NXT Women’s Championship after Ember Moon won the vacated title. Who's the longest-reigning NXT Women’s Champion of all time?
True or False: The Revival was the only NXT tag team called up in the 2016 draft.
Speaking of NXT, the tag team picture has given the main roster a couple of successful teams. The Revival is one that has yet to hit their potential due to injuries to both Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder at different points. WWE splitting the main roster into two brands for Raw and Smackdown opened up more spots and television time for the new stars.

WWE is trying to push the cruiserweight division as its own brand. The wrestlers compete on Raw and have their own weekly show on the WWE Network known as 205 Live.
