Kicks n' Clicks: This week in WWE Superstars' Instagram accounts (August 6 - 12)

We are under one week from the biggest party of the summer, SummerSlam 2017! As we inch closer to one of WWE's largest annual events, it's important to realise just how much is at stake this year. Not only that, but the men and women of the yellow brand will kick-off what will certainly be a huge weekend at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III.

With all of the festivities going on, you can be rest assured that most of the WWE and NXT Superstars will be very active on social media, which will give us some great picks for next week's Kicks n' Clicks. But, in the meantime, we have found some great picks for this weeks column.

Here are the top WWE Superstars' Instagram posts for the week of August 6-12.

---

#15 Unsettled score

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose have a very deep and jaded past together. While times were great when The Shield was wrecking everything in sight, it appears there are still troubling issues that need to be resolved.

Perhaps it all goes back to Seth Rollins selling his brothers out, all for the sake of having a small dose of power as a member of The Authority.

Maybe they will work through the differences and find a level ground of trust... maybe they won't.

#14 Uncommon Alliances

It appears WWE's creative powers-that-be may have thought outside of the box for a change. Well, at least during a recent house show in Ottawa this past week.

Erick Rowan and Aiden English teamed up to face Luke Harper and Sin Cara in Ottawa last Sunday, August 6th. Unfortunately for English and Rowan, Harper and Sin Cara came away with the win.

#13 He's got the whole world...

Bray Wyatt and Finn Balor are in the midst of a very intriguing feud at the moment. While Bray has been on a skid, of sorts, since losing his WWE Championship to Randy Orton, it looks like he has gotten his second wind since jumping over to the red squad as a member of the WWE RAW roster. Things could get very interesting this Sunday in Brooklyn,

Bray Wyatt finds himself in yet another must-win situation when he faces off against "The Demon" Finn Balor at SummerSlam. Wyatt has had his struggles in overall wins at pay-per-view events.

However, he has had some luck in some his bigger PPV bouts, just like his title win at The Elimination Chamber.

#12 The streak lives on

She is the most dominating woman in wrestling today and there's nothing we, or anyone else can do about it.

For over 500 days now, Asuka has held the NXT Women's Championship and unless something crazy happens, she could probably hold the title another 500 days, if she wants to.

This may very well be one of those situations where she holds the title until she gets called up to the main roster, at which time she would likely be forced to vacate the title.

#11 Immortally bossy

I'm not sure what made Sasha Banks post this one, but she did!

The WWE women's division has never been as strong as it is now and Sasha Banks is one of the leaders of this powerful movement which has essentially changed the way WWE fans view women's wrestling in general.

#10 World's Strongest Swiss-man

When people think of the strongest men in professional wrestling, most people think of Mark Henry, Big Show, Braun Strowman or maybe even John Cena. While all of those WWE Superstars are incredibly strong, there's one guy who is being left out of this discussion - Cesaro.

Cesaro is far and away one of the strongest, if not THE strongest person on WWE payroll.

While I'm a huge fan of Mark Henry, he's gotten older and has dealt with several nagging injuries over the years. With that in mind, Cesaro is probably the strongest man in the entire industry.

#9 Complete inSAnitY

I have been a fan since the day this stable got started. Eric Young is someone who I feel has always been underrated. With his experience and skill level, he will be able to take his henchmen, as well as Nikki Cross, and get the very best out of each one of these highly talented Superstars.

I look for these guys to debut on one of the main rosters in the very near future. In fact, I would not be surprised at all if SAnitY gets called up as soon as the week after SummerSlam.

#8 Not-so-crazy anymore...

In the very near future, fans will realise just how valuable this new Superstar truly was.

In 2011, Crazy Mary made her wrestling debut and soon after, everyone in the independent scene knew exactly who she was. She made a name for herself by being a relentless, powerful, skilled performer.

She has had success with Ring of Honor, Shimmer, and JCW, just to name a few promotions. Crazy Mary was also notoriously known for scrapping with the guys too. She has faced some of the most deranged hardcore legends of the current era, such as Mad Man Pondo.

Sarah is now with the NXT roster, under the name Sarah Logan and appears to be a much more calm worker now. It's also worth noting that Sarah is in a relationship with ROH star Ray Rowe, who is one-half of War Machine.

#7 The next BIG thing

In one of my recent articles, I gave you my list of some of the current Superstars who could potentially become the "next Brock Lesnar". Among those listed in that article, NXT Superstar Lars Sullivan is listed as one of the top prospects to become someone who would rival that of a Brock Lesnar.

Lars has received high praise from any and everyone backstage, including Bray Wyatt, Big Show, Triple H, and yes, even Brock Lesnar himself.

#6 Lady in red

Renee Young is far and away one of the most underrated people on WWE payroll. She has a plethora of wit, intelligence, knowledge, and raw sex appeal, which makes her one of the most adored personalities on WWE programming.

Renee Young and Dean Ambrose were the only reason I could find to watch Total Divas. They were able to draw in new viewers by showing the world a brief snippet into their hectic, yet unique lives.

#5 WWE cover boy

Never in a million years did anyone within the WWE Universe expect to see the level of success that Jinder Mahal has seen lately. Jinder has been a great champion and a great performer.

He has truly stepped his game up to a whole new level since returning to the company and it shows.

This Sunday, Jinder Mahal faces perhaps his biggest challenge when he faces Shinsuke Nakamura, with his prized WWE Championship on the line. Even though I am a huge Nakamura fan, I would not be disappointed if the "Modern Day Maharaja" retains his title and continues the build of his legacy.

#4 Batter up!

Being a native of Queens, Big Cass has always been a die-hard Yankees fan. So, when WWE made a stop in Toronto, Cass took advantage of the Yankees being in town and made his way to the Rogers Centre where he was treated with some VIP, on-field action.

In fact, Big Cass even got to take a few swings before the two teams took batting practice.

Big Cass is currently embroiled in a heated feud with Big Show. Cass also found new allies recently in Gallows and Anderson, which has proved to be a very beneficial partnership for Big Cass as he prepares to tame the giant at SummerSlam.

#3 A ravishing summer day

Lana is always good for quality weekly Instagram coverage. In one of her recent posts, she is enjoying some fun in the sun, along with her "Ravishing Unicorn."

Lana has been in a transition of sorts recently, as she has jumped from being a valet to competing in in-ring action. While we haven't seen a whole lot out of her lately, she was a part of a pretty strong storyline leading into Battleground.

However, Lana has yet to win very many bouts and appears to possibly be sitting on the sidelines once again. Could another change be in the works?

#2 Last minute pump in the 6

During last week's stop through Toronto, several of the WWE Superstars from the Smackdown Live roster stopped by the Battle Arts Academy for a nice pre-show workout.

As shown here, Shinsuke Nakamura and Sin Cara even stopped long enough for a brief photo-op at the facility. It's also worth noting that former WWE Superstar Santino Marella actually owns the Battle Arts Academy in Mississauga.

#1 Sir Jericho's royal list of peasants

Chris Jericho is a rare gem, unlike anything the sport of professional wrestling has ever seen. Each time he returns to action, it's always a welcome breath of fresh air, no matter how long he stays out.

The storyline between Jericho and Kevin Owens where they were "best friends," was one of the best things I've witnessed in years. There was a perfectly balanced mix of comedic relief, along with tons of great in-ring action.

As long as Y2J has a desire and will to compete, the door should always remain open for him.
