For this entry, I thought I would do something a little different and fun for everyone to read. Thanks to the folks at WWE Magazine, I have compiled all of the present words they have created in the magazine for the unofficial WWE Dictionary.

Below, you will find every word alongside their part-of-speech, if given, and definition as provided by WWE Magazine. In addition, new words will be added each month, so be sure to check this post for monthly updates.

Without further delay, I present to you:
