CM Punk vs Eve Torres:

In an eating competition, they have to eat some hot stuff and not drink milk.

Eve Torres:

Has aired her views on the Diva's division...

“We never really know what they’re thinking. As much as people think we really know what’s going on, we really don’t. On Mondays at 4:00 p.m., half the time I have no idea what’s going on. Right now, we have a great group of girls – hungry girls – who all want to contribute to the Divas division. That’s what I really care about. Obviously, I’m delighted that I’m part of an interesting storyline, but whatever I can do to help this division and get it back on top is just something that I – and all of the other girls – am willing to do, whether that means helping new talent that comes up or re-polishing the talent that already exists on the roster.”

Jerry Lawler:

WWE.Com have aired The King Jerry Lawler's SmackDown appearance on their website today...

Batista:

The trailer for his new movie has been released...

Daivari:

CCTV footage from Daivari's fight on a train recently has been released exclusively to a news network, you can see the article via this link.

Retirement:

Former WWE and ECW star Jerry Lynn told a British crowd that he plans on retiring from the ring at the end of 2012, and his match on Sunday night was his last in the UK.

WWE try outs:

WWE talent scouts were left really disappointed by their last camp, out of the 62 attendees only 5 or 6 passed the physical conditioning drills and none could deliver a promo, freezing in front of the camera being the most common problem.

The group was made up of college wrestlers and football players.

WWE defend ad:

WWE have been criticised for an advert saying women love the product, Linda McMahon's political rivals say it was an advert to support her political campaign, WWE say...

“WWE’s digital campaign, which began in September, appears on websites including MSN.com, Fox News, Yahoo News and iVillage.com as well as local news sites — avoiding political coverage — such as Courant.com, ctpost.com and stamfordadvocate.com. The purpose of the campaign is to highlight WWE’s commitment to pro-social initiatives. Any implication or assertion that WWE is coordinating with Linda McMahon’s U.S. Senate campaign is false; to do so would be unlawful and in violation of Federal Election Commission regulations.”

Tag Title match pulled:

The tag title match may be pulled from Hell In A Cell if Rey Mysterio cannot return from his illness in time, WWE are determined to have the tournament final Rey & Sin Cara vs Rhodes and Sandow.

Creative leak:

The original Hell In A Cell opponent for CM Punk (If Cena could not wrestle) was actually going to be... Vince McMahon until the creative team came up with the Ryback story.

Related to this, two scripts were written for this weeks Raw, one for Cena to get the title shot, the other for Ryback, this was to keep every one guessing.

2013 main events:

In another creative leak, The Rock will main event both Royal Rumble and WrestleMania next year, his Rumble opponent will be CM Punk.
