Today's News

Backstage tussle over PPV:

There is currently a backstage battle over the main event of Hell In A Cell. Some officials want to give the women their chance to main event the PPV on Sunday, but others are equally adamant they should not. The only thing they have agreed on is that match should not be in the middle of the card, for fear of fans leaving the PPV half way through after seeing home town hero Sasha Banks fight. If the girls are not in the first match of the night on Sunday, they will be in the last, but the decision will likely not be made until the day.

Dana Brooke vs Bayley has been added to the HIAC card. The kick off will be a 6 man cruiser tag, with Sin Cara, Lince Dorado and Cedric Alexander taking on Tony Nese, Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari.

Survivor Series:

WWE have done what they couldn't do on Raw, because of Vince McMahon pulling an in-ring angle. Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg is officially the main event for Survivor Series next month.

SmackDown hosted a number of qualifying matches for their elimination teams. Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley have earned their Survivor Series debuts for the second spot on the tag team elimination team, Heath Slater & Rhyno were promised the first, as they are SmackDown's Tag champs. Nikki Bella beat Natalya to become captain of the women's team and to eliminate Natalya from consideration for one of the four remaining spots.

Legend makes appearance:

The Undertaker, in character, his wife Michelle McCool and the family of the Ultimate Warrior went to American sports team Cleveland Cavaliers this week to congratulate them on a recent victory. He was not using his crutches.

Legends daughters starting promotion:

The daughters of Hulk Hogan, DDP, Texas Tornado and Roddy Piper are setting up their own wrestling promotion. Christy Hemme is their first signing, she will be an authority figure.

Corgan vs TNA lawsuit:

Details of Billy Corgan's writ against TNA have been released. The next hearing of his case will be today. He claims Dixie Carter committed to transfer 100% of her stake in the company to him, but reneged. He wants control of the company as was promised. He says he fired all of the previous management team to bring his own people in on October 12, repeated his assertion that the company are insolvent and can't pay their bills. He says he paid a debt TNA owed to stop a planned lawsuit from Aroluxe, which would have finished them. He also accused Dixie of playing two sides by taking money from the Fight network to earn money for their tape library, at the same time as trying to sell it to WWE.

He says he was lied to about the amount of debt they were in, and that he wouldn't have put as much money in if he knew, and revealed that TNA had to cancel a block of TV tapings in November because they had no money to pay for them. He also says he has been excluded from the company, and Aroluxe are currently running the business without his input.

He will, later today, ask a judge to recognise his financial input into the promotion, and the promises made to him, so he can take control of the company.

The case is actually currently being heard and is being live tweeted by Corgan's legal team. He revealed that Dixie killed talks with WWE until she could afford to get rid of Corgan from the company, which led WWE to reduce their offer for the company when they came back with a second bid.

Hawkins wrestles:

Curt Hawkins has worked his first televised match since returning to WWE. He fought Apollo Crews on Main Event last night.

Steve Austin says 'Curtain Call' changed his life:

"Vince wasn't going to screw Shawn Michaels because Shawn was already cantankerous. He was his World Champion and he needed him happy, so he had to punish somebody and he punished Triple H. And he told me, two weeks going in the event I was going to win King Of The Ring. Had I had not won that event, Austin 3:16 would never have happened. 'Cause Stone Cold Said So' would never have happened organically, so I don't know what would have happened. I might have been a midcard guy my whole career. And that's the bottom line. Who knows what would have happened? I'm just glad it did and I'm glad I got the opportunity."

Paige fired:

Rosa Mendes' partner Bobby has ended his business relationship with Paige. He had named an alcoholic beverage after her, and she had appeared in ads promoting the drink.
