Controversial promoter returns:

HHH praises indy league:

Triple H has praised Evolve, a group WWE are interested in purchasing...

"As far as EVOLVE and Gabe (Sapolsky) as kind of a feeder system, yeah. I look at all of that as feeder system. I love what Gabe does. I love what EVOLVE does. I think that they are one of the sounder promotions as far as how they handle their talent, as far as how they tell their stories, and as far as how they handle their in-ring product. I do see them as a feeder system. I support them. I supported their shows. A lot of our talent has come through there over the years and they've learned a lot from there. Everybody speaks highly of them, speaks highly of Gabe in that process and that's important to me, as well. It's the quality of the people. Yeah, do I support them? Do I see them as a feeder for us? If I had somebody that I didn't have room here for at the PC or I wanted to give them some further training out there before I had a space for them here, would I send them to Gabe? Absolutely. I think they are a very important part of the business, and I know it's a struggle out there, to keep things rolling, to keep things kinda alive if you are a small promotion, and some of the other, if this makes sense, bigger small promotions are making that more difficult sometimes, for the smaller promotions, so, you know, I support them in anyway I can. If I can help them out, I love to and, you know, promote their events. I think having that healthy independent undercurrent to the business is vitally important and I don't want to see that go away."

NXT vs TNA:

Tazz has revealed why Finn Balor was pictured outside of TNA. He said the WWE tour bus broke down outside the TNA office building.

Triple H later shot that down, saying the NXT crew were training in a gym around the corner from TNA HQ, and they had to park their bus outside their building. He also said that Finn asked permission before taking and posting the image.

HHH responds to WWE racism:

"I always chuckle at the whole 'first African-American [WWE World Heavyweight Champion].' Rock and Booker T, I guess those guys don't count. I never understand that mentality."

WWE cancel live:

The November 1 Loveland, CO show has been removed from the WWE schedules.

Batista:

Batista has married for the third time.
