WWE star working hurt / other injury news:

Luke Harper has an injury to his eye.

Bo Dallas was injured at a show on Friday night, but worked the rest of the weekend dates, and Randy Orton suffered two bad cuts, one to his back, and one to his hand, suffered when he was setting up a table, but like Bo, continued to work the weekend schedule, although he was bandaged up.

Diva's steal the show:

Paige and Natalya are receiving rave reviews for a match on the live circuit this past weekend, Paige won a 2 out of 3 falls match, 2-1, with a cheap roll up, but the action that preceded was better than anything on the  card according to a number of fans in attendance.

Ric Flair:

Ric Flair missed Takeover because he was admitted to hospital on Tuesday night, and stayed in for a couple of days, speculation is he had surgery on his stomach.

WWE released this statement...

Trish Stratus on one more match:

''Every time I have returned it's been on the basis that the door is never closed. If some awesome opportunity pops up and it sounds fun and challenging and it's something I haven't done before. That's kind of how each thing has happened. I have a great relationship with WWE and we're always chatting ideas. You never know, retirement is used very loosely in the wrestling world. There are lots of great workers right now. Seeing Brie and Stephanie in there a couple of weeks ago made me kind of excited again. So we'll see what happens. You know if that Stephanie keeps up her ways there is one woman that I know can put her in her place, just saying…me!''

Alberto Del Rio:

El Patron, as he is now known, had his first AAA match over the weekend.

Raw tease:

* How will the Divas chaos alter the three-way at Night of Champions?

* Will The Miz have something up his tailored sleeve for Dolph Ziggler?

* Will Seth Rollins look to stomp out Roman Reigns' momentum?

Not so Big Van Vader:

Sheamus:

WWE star Sheamus wants to get in the ring with Justin Beiber...

"That's easy: Justin Bieber! I gave him an award last time and that picture comes back to haunt me all the time. It's the way he carries himself around - he's just a big muppet, even if he's 4 foot 2 he still needs to be taken down!"
