Another week in wrestling and more new names on the sideplates. This week saw the culmination of everything NXT has stood for since its inception as two "originals" from the development promotion finally rose to the top of the game, winning belts they've earned despite adversity and problematic booking.

First Naomi became the new Women's Champion and then Bray Wyatt took his shot and walked away from the PPV as WWE Champion. Triple H must be absolutely vibrating with pride.

Elsewhere, more plans for 'Mania 33 were unveiled, with Randy Orton refusing to challenge Bray Wyatt (though, come on, surely?!) and rumours that WWE are hiring former female talent (like Kelly Kelly) for the event. It might also be the last workJohn Cena does for WWE in a while, as he goes on hiatus after the PPV, but at least they'll have Finn Balor back, as he makes strides towards his in-ring return.

Meanwhile, there's a new Andre The Giant doc, Brock Lesnar has retired from MMA (shock, horror) and Kurt Angle IS expected to wrestle for WWE before retirement. You lucky people.

But the biggest news as ever related to which stars posted the most liked selfie, with an added spin this week involving a return superstar we never thought we'd see on Instagram. This was the week in WWE Instagram...

25. Hulk's Throw-Back

A great look back to the days of wrestling past thanks to a memento posted by Hulk Hogan, who is obviously a sentimental type keeping hold of tickets to his own matches.

The match - for Superstars 284 - was a Dark Match that Hogan actually won, though he didn't reclaim the WWF World Heavyweight Belt, of course as he won courtesy of a count-out. Don't say you don't get real wrestling history in this column.
