Today's News

Eden vs WWE:


Eden, wife of Cody Rhodes, says WWE never let her attend red carpet events during her time there, but she did accept an invite to one last night.



Roman Reigns:


Roman Reigns ban means he will miss the brand split. WWE were set to name John Cena and Roman as the number one picks, with one going to each show to be their leader, but Roman is not free of his ban until two days after the draw, so WWE will have to work around it.


The BattleGround main event is still on. WWE have made a graphic to promote the match. That will however likely be subject to change.


Paige:


Police have discussed Paige's arrest on Sunday. They did not confirm her identity, but did relay the incident. They say officers attention was drawn to a woman running in between moving cars, shouting, and behaving erratically. They took her into their custody, and transported her to a local medical center for a mental health evaluation. She passed their tests and was released.


A fan contradicted that. He says Del Rio and Paige had gone to a local club after MITB had finished, and that they were set upon by a group of antagonists, calling them ''Fake wrestlers'' and the like. The dispute spilled out into the street where police became involved. The fan says they were not in the bar long, and had not yet ordered any drinks, disputing speculation that she was drunk, and added he did not see her running in the street.

Alberto Del Rio was present during the incident, but was not detained, and is in no trouble.


Sunny:


Sunny does not want to leave rehab. She has been in since March, but her 90 days, 60 of which were arranged and paid for by WWE, is coming to an end soon. She says she is considering another porn film to pay the $40,000 a month fee for the treatment.



Nattie sticking around:


Natalya is urging her fans not to believe the leak from the WWE office, and says the story of her considering a departure from the promotion are ''Totally false.''



SmackDown SPOILERS!!!:


  • Alberto Del Rio vs Cesaro.
  • Apollo Crews vs Sheamus.
  • AJ Styles vs Jimmy Uso.
  • New Day vs Vaudevillains.
  • Becky Lynch vs Dana Brooke.
  • Seth Rollins vs Sami Zayn.

Notes...

David Otunga has taken over comm duties from the suspended Jerry Lawler.

Cameron:


Cameron has posted a picture of herself in her Funkadactyl gear, leading to some speculation that she is reuniting with Brodus Clay in TNA. That is probably a long shot, as Clay no longer plays that role, and he has been very open about his real world dislike of her.

Daniel Bryan returns:


Daniel Bryan will co-host the WWE cruiser Network show. Mauro Ranallo will be the other presenter.

Angle pleads guilty:


Kurt Angle's brother has pleaded guilty to the murder of his wife. He now faces 10 years in jail. He had denied deliberately killing her, saying he was trying to restrain her, as she was drunk, and pressed his knees into her chest, rendering her unconscious. Medics were unable to revive her. He today changed that plea.

Debut delay:


CM Punk's first MMA fight may be delayed again. It is likely going to be pushed back from August to September.

TNA:


TNA have re-signed Trevor Lee and Rockstar Spud.

WWE to change charging structure:


WWE's financial officer says the promotion are working on a tiered pricing system for their Network, dependent on how much you watch. For example 9.99 for the first 25 hours, then going up incrementally when you reach the next cut off, with a message asking if you want to pay to continue watching the channel.

Seth lands movie:


Seth Rollins will be in the next 'Sharknado' film. It will air on July 4 on SyFy.

Women Of Honor:


ROH will present an all female episode of their TV show next week.

Wrestling murder:


Joshua, Adam and Scott Knight performed wrestling moves on a 54 year old for as much as eight hours last November in Kent, England. The woman, who lived with the boys mother, was so badly beaten during the 3 on one assault, that she spent a month in hospital, with doctors fighting to save her, they failed, and she died in December of last year.

All three boys deny murder, but the two older ones plead guilty to manslaughter to try to get the case against the younger dropped, but police believe he was involved, as they caught him selling the woman's belongings when she was in hospital. He used the money to buy spice.

Post split PPV schedule leaked:


A Reddit user has leaked the WWE PPV schedule from SummerSlam until the end of this year. WWE have not confirmed it is legitimate as yet...


  • SummerSlam - August 21st in Brooklyn (B)
  • Backlash, September 11th in Richmond (S)
  • WWE Clash of the Champions, September 25th in Indianapolis (R)

Key B=Both, S=SmackDown, R=Raw.

This, if confirmed, would see the return of WCW PPV Clash Of The Champions, as a Raw special.
