It's that time once again where we take a look back at the week that was, through the eyes of Instagram.

There's a lot of excitement in the air as guys like Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe continue to fight for the right to challenge the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. With that in mind, let's dive into some of the weeks best in social media with the latest edition of Sportskeeda's Clicks-n-Kicks!


#10 Doing the most good

We kick things off this week with something that has become very familiar, by that I mean John Cena and his selflessness.

During a recent live event in Carbondale, Illinois, John Cena granted yet another wish for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Throughout the years, Cena has granted more wishes through this foundation than anyone in the world.

It's become blatantly obvious that no one in sports entertainment is as passionate about putting smiles on the faces of fans as John Cena.

#9 Quiet on the set...

Say what you will about The Miz, but he has that entertainment factor that many professional wrestlers can only dream of possessing. Since he put together his stable of WWE's forgotten Superstars, he has helped both Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel by giving them some sort of purpose which has ultimately kept them on television when they otherwise would not have been featured.

#8 Funny guy Ziggy

Dolph Ziggler is by far one of the most entertaining people on any WWE roster. His talents reach far beyond the squared circle and into the comedic spotlight.

Dolph has always been a fan of stand-up comedy and has even done several comedy tours himself. In fact, during some of the down time in which we don't see Dolph on WWE TV, he is actually out making towns on some random comedy tour, making fans laugh with his unique blend of comedy.

#7 Enzo reborn

Enzo and Big Cass assembled together to create one of my favourite tag teams of this era. I truly enjoyed their unique style and hilarious antics both in and out of the ring. That's why I was pretty disappointed when Enzo and Cass were split up. However, this could result in something big for both performers respectfully.

Enzo also recently joined the cruiserweights on the 205 roster, which was a perfect move for the 'Certified G.'

#6 The Brooklyn Takeover

As we all now know, WWE invaded the Barclays Center in Brooklyn recently for a huge block of WWE events, which spanned 4 nights and included 4 shows, including 2 pay-per-view events as well.

It's a rare occurrence to see one venue host WWE multiple nights, but as long as the New York fans keep supporting WWE the way they have been, The Barclays Center will continue to host plenty of shows to come.

#5 A true American Hero

WWE RAW GM Kurt Angle recently revealed his special edition character for the upcoming video game ''WWE 2K18.'

It was announced that the game would feature two different versions of Kurt Angle on the game. One is the American Hero version and the is his alternate ECW moniker, which is known as the Wrestling Machine.

#4 Indie Invasion 1.0

Tony Nese is a guy who doesn't get a lot of attention, but in due time, we will all come to know and respect the man that is Mr. 8 Ab's.

This is an awesome blast from the past photo which Nese posted on his Instagram account recently, which shows him facing off against Adam Cole. Both Cole and Nese have strong independent backgrounds.

#3 The ROH Invasion

Get excited......get very excited.

You are looking at one of the best world champions of the past 5 years, alongside one of the most decorated and exciting tag teams in the world.

Ladies and gentlemen of the WWE Universe, prepare to enjoy the upcoming weeks and months of NXT as Adam Cole and reDRagon completely take control of the yellow brand.

#2 The demon cometh

Some are simply wrestlers and others are entertainers. Finn Balor is the perfect mix of both. Balor's recent feud with Bray Wyatt was not as fulfilling as I would have liked, but it is what it is. Balor is one of the best assets on the entire main roster and it appears he still has plenty of years left to offer the WWE Universe.

#1 Glorious new beginning

Former NXT Champion Bobby Roode was finally elevated to the main roster this past week on Smackdown Live when he defeated Aiden English in the opening moments of the show.

Roode comes to the Smackdown roster with a plethora of experience, along with a championship pedigree. Folks, this man is a proven winner and will only boost the Smackdown Live stock.
