Survivor Series SPOILERS!!!:

Early plans for next months WWE Super Show have emerged, the pencilled in main event will see CM Punk defend his WWE title against John Cena, and the traditional Survivor series match will be captained by Big Show and Ryback.

That would mean Triple H vs Brock 2 would have to wait until Mania, and unless The Undertaker turns heel and joins Big Shows team, the match WWE want for Mania between himself and Ryback would have to get started at the Royal Rumble instead.

Brock Lesnar:

UFC President Dana White says Brock Lesnar will never compete in the Octagon again...

“He’s done. He called me a couple days ago, he’s never coming back.”

He says he physically is not up to it, and IMO took a bit of a shot at wrestling...

“He just said his body – he can wrestle, but he can’t fight,” White said. “But, he was contemplating coming back.”

SmackDown Live:

Next weeks SmackDown will air live from Birmingham, England after WWE were criticized for advertising a live show that they planned to tape over this coming weekend, The show will air at 8PM on November 6, so British fans are going to have a late one at that show.

Mike The Miz has worked himself back into WWE's good books, they have been very impressed with his improvements in the ring and most notably on the mike. Giving him the poster for next months Survivor Series is the start of a plan to push him back to the top of the roster in early 2014.

Linda Criticised:

Linda McMahon is getting heat from her own Political side after asking voters to split their ticket in the upcoming American Elections, saying voters should vote for her as a Republican and Barrack Obama who is a Democrat, not showing much faith in her man Mitt. This has not gone down well with her activists, or I expect at home, Vince McMahon is a big financial sponsor for Obama's opponent Mitt Romney.

WWE censor botch:

WWE have had YouTube remove all footage of Ryback botching his finisher on Paul Heyman from this weekends live shows.

He couldn't lift Heyman so instead slammed him in a move that resembled Goldberg's JackHammer, which angered the former WCW man, he wrote...

“Ryback is to @Goldberg as the Renegade was to @UltimateWarrior. It’s silly.”

In a related note Tensai has been admonished by management for not once but twice, embarrassing Ryback during Raw a couple of weeks back. Ryback couldn't pick him up for his finisher, and the feeling was Tensai was deliberately sandbagging to make him look bad.

Rey Mysterio talks illness:

“I think when we are hurt or we’re sick we have to stay on focus. Not to long ago, I wrestled on a Monday night and I had food poisoning. I was in the ring with food poisoning. Sometimes you don’t realize our health. They just see us perform out there and say that was good. But in the back, the cameras aren’t recording anymore and you tend to yourself. In this case, I had to go to the doctor’s right away.”

WWE Officials are high on Rey at the moment, despite his illness, because of the improvement in Sin Cara's work since they put the two Lucha's together.
