America celebrated Her Independence Day on July 4th!

Each week here on Sportskeeda, we typically like to take a look back at the previous week's, happenings through the eyes of your favorite WWE Superstars, via their personal Instagram accounts. Unfortunately, I have been very occupied with some personal issues of my own. This has caused me to neglect this weekly series. With that said, I am back in the saddle and free from further distractions, which means the weekly 'Clicks-n-Kicks' series is back...beginning now!

This week will center around USA's recent Independence Day celebration. Many of the current WWE Superstars posted something related to their Fourth of July Celebration.

Here's a look at the past weeks best in WWE Superstars' Instagram posts!


#12 Canada salutes America!

WWE's own Renee Young took to her Instagram account to show her Patriotism as Americans from coast-to-coast celebrated Independence Day on July 4th.

Renee is a Canadian-born broadcaster who now handles multiple roles with WWE. She can be seen on just about any of the WWE weekly shows, conducting backstage interviews, as well as filling in where needed. You can also catch Young working the pre-show at the monthly pay-per-view events on the WWE Network.

#11 Almas on the rise!

If you were to take just a moment and study his past, chances are you would probably get excited about the future of this WWE Superstar!

Andrade 'Cien' Almas joined the Smackdown Live roster back in April of 2018, as a part of the 2018 WWE Superstar Shake-up. Prior to being elevated to the main roster, Almas had a tremendous NXT run, which was culminated by his reign as the NXT Champion.

Almas comes to the company with a plethora of quality experience, which was mostly his time in the Mexican professional scene.

#10 No one is ready...

He's a lot like that pesky fly that you just cannot get rid of. James Ellsworth recently made his not-so-triumphant WWE return at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, after being away for the better part of a year, working the independent scene.

While many fans may not necessarily care too much for Ellsworth, his story is rather unique and could be inspiring for those interested in one day becoming a WWE Superstar. Ellsworth is living proof that anyone can accomplish anything they desire, as long they believe in themselves.

#9 WWE's REAL "power couple"

WWE's newest and cutest couple, Ray Rowe and Sarah Logan tend to do everything together, including train. Rowe and Logan started dating before either of them ever signed a WWE contract. But, as fate would have it, they are now both working for the top wrestling company in the world.

You can catch Logan each week on WWE RAW and Rowe is a member of the War Raiders, which is NXT's most dominant tag team. It's also worth noting that Rowe and Logan announced via social media back in October of 2017 that they are now engaged to be married!

#8 Respecting the culture...

WWE Superstars Finn Balor and Noam Dar celebrated the Fourth of July in their own patriotic style. One thing that the common fan may or may not realize, is that most WWE Superstars reside in the State of Florida, with most making their home in either Tampa or Orlando. In this particular post by Finn Balor, they are celebrating Independence Day in the greater Orlando metro area, in a suburb known as Casselberry.

#7 An Enigmatic Celebration

WWE United States Champion Jeff Hardy is by far the most artistic Superstar on the roster. Even while he was briefly away from the sport, Jeff still spent a lot of his downtime on his artwork, at his home in Cameron, North Carolina.

One way Jeff expresses his creative mentality is by personalizing his face paint each night, while on the road. In this particular post, Hardy gave a little tribute to the Fourth by painting his face in all red, white and blue, representing the colors of the American Flag.

#6 The WOKEN tattoo!

Throughout the years, wrestling fans have gone to some really interesting creative links in order to show support for their favorite Superstars. Guys like Hulk Hogan, Goldberg, The Rock and Ric Flair are among the most common Superstars you will commonly find tattooed on passionate fans. In this particular post, this fan went out and got an amazing tattoo of his favorite WWE Superstar, Matt Hardy. Matt noticed the tatt and posted it to his personal account and since then, that fan has received a ton of praise from the fanbase and Superstars alike.

#5 Happy MIZdependence Day!

The most must-see WWE Superstar of all-time, The Miz posted this really cool photo of himself with the American Flag in the background.

Just a reminder that The Miz and Maryse are set to premiere their own reality show on July 24th. The show is called 'The Miz and Mrs.' and it basically follows the glamorous couple around as they prepare for the birth of their first child. The show also follows The Miz on the road as he continues to bring in the bread as his wife sits at home, patiently awaiting his return.

The Miz is now heading into his 14th year as a WWE Superstar and is currently assigned to the Smackdown Live roster.

#4 Big Dog vs The Dominator

Both the RAW and Smackdown Live brands will collide on July 15, 2018, as both brands come together for the 2018 Extreme Rules pay-per-view, live on the WWE Network.

One of the most anticipated matches for this show is the big matchup featuring Roman Reigns going head-to-head in singles competition. Lashley recently returned to the company after being away for roughly ten years. At 41 years young, Bobby Lashley is built better than most Superstars half his age.

Many fans are speculating that Lashley will be "the one" who finally defeats Brock Lesnar and claims his WWE Universal Championship. However, Lashley has one major obstacle standing between him and a date with The Beast. That obstacle goes by the name of Roman Reigns.

#3 Happy Lana Day!

Lana is certainly one of the most popular and beautiful ladies on the WWE roster. When she's not appearing on WWE programming, Lana is somewhere near the water, taking semi-provocative photos, which typically end up on her Instagram page...not that that's a bad thing!

Lana and Rusev were married in July of 2016. The couple now resides in Nashville, Tennessee.

#2 Here we, here we, here we f'n GO!

One WWE Superstar who is quietly rising through the ranks is Drew McIntyre. While he is currently paired with Dolph Ziggler, many people, including this writer believe Drew is being groomed for a major run towards one of the top two WWE titles, whether it be the WWE Championship or the WWE Universal Championship.

Drew returned to the WWE on April 1, 2017, after a 3-year hiatus from the company. Drew quickly captured the NXT Championship, in route to was obviously a fast-track back to the main roster.

#1 History was just too sweet!

What began as an idea, quickly evolved into one of the most remarkable storylines of all-time. Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall spearheaded the movement now infamously known as the New World Order(nWo).

For nearly 7-years, the nWo controlled the entire professional wrestling scene, dominating any and everyone who encountered their path.

It's hard to believe it's already been 22-years since the inception of the New World Order. The nWo laid a strong foundation for heel factions, for decades to come and while no one will ever duplicate the run these guys had, there has been and will be many who come along and give the nWo the respect they deserve.
