Bubba Ray to WWE:

Bubba Dudley has discussed a possible WWE return...

''What's next or who's next? (laughs) I don't know what's next, I'm just gonna let it happen. I am so happy with my career and what I have accomplished that if my career ended tomorrow, I could walk off into the sunset with a huge smile on my face. However, because of the success of the Bully Ray character, I'm hearing a lot of people clamoring for me to go back to the WWE to try to see if Bully Ray could do something over there. Personally, I think I could. I think it'd be a lot of fun. If I were to go back to WWE either as Bully Ray by myself or to finish out my career with D-Von as Team 3D, I think both things could work. I think the fans, first and foremost, want to see it. They have been very active on Twitter and social media saying "We want Bully Ray in WWE" or "We want Team 3D back in WWE". Like I said, if it's right, maybe it'll happen. But if it didn't, I still go out with a huge smile on my face. I tweeted last week that "I'm the 1 who can defeat the 1 who put the 1 in 21-1." I'm confident in my ability in the ring and I'm confident in my ability on the mic. So from a physical standpoint, Bully versus Brock [Lesnar] would be very interesting. And a verbal battle on the microphone, could you imagine Bully Ray and Paul Heyman?''.

Hall Of Fame:

The secret is out, WWE are collecting memorabilia for a physical Hall Of Fame building. The latest item they secured was the original WWWF championship belt, which after being discovered in the possessions of Johnny Barend after his 2011 death, was sold to an MMA star, named Dan Lambert. Lambert was very reluctant to lose the prized item, but has been given a number of other original championships in it's place. He was not so discreet about the matter when quizzed, he told reporters what the WWE wanted the belt for, and said he was aware of other items they had managed to secure for the same purpose, from other collectors.

E&C:

Edge and Christian will be on the final Raw of 2014.

Don't cross the boss:

Charlotte's WWE debut did not go as planned. Initially a tag bout was booked, in which Charlotte was to get the winning fall for her team, however time constraints meant they went with a singles bout instead, Triple H, and her opponent Natalya felt it was right for Charlotte to get the debut win, however, Vince did not agree, and changed the result as they were going through the curtain.

Issues for Punk's new job?:

A number of state athletic commissions, namely Nevada and New Jersey, have raised concerns about granting CM Punk a licence to fight, due to his lack of experience, the rep from New Jersey said...

"We would really have to look at this very closely. We would have to take a close look at it. Normally, we require some type of background as either an amateur or a professional. This would certainly raise a red flag."

And the man from Nevada...

"I would say that it would behoove him to get some amateur fights. Get some amateur fights and get some experience."

TNA man try's out:

Crimson is working a one week WWE trial at the PC this week.

JR slams American wrestling, pops for GFW:

"I think GFW has the chance to be very successful because the North American fan base are not getting what they want," JR said. "Social media would indicate such. Empty seats indicate such. Small attendance indicates such. The professional wrestling product in America right now is not red hot. I wish it were! I wish every company that does this for a living was making money hand over fist, nothing would make me happier. But that's not the case right now. So you hope that Global Force Wrestling is paying attention to the fact that today's genre isn't cool and isn't giving fans what they want across the board."
