Alum injured:
Justin Gabriel has broken both of his ankles doing a base jump in his home country of South Africa. He was in the country for a match but thought he would have some fun before competing. He still intended to attend the event, to do a meet and greet and signing with fans.
ADR no show:
Alberto Del Rio no-showed a AAA booking last night. Speculation was rife that he was going to debut for TNA, but that did not happen.
AAA blasted him for turning his back on the Mexican fans that had supported him for his whole career.
How long does TNA have:
The anonymous third party financier that paid for BFG and this week's tapings has kept the promotion in business for the rest of the year. TNA will tape enough episodes to carry them through the rest of 2016, meaning they can then focus on trying to get something done, without worrying about breaching their TV deal with Pop.
Mark Henry reveals career low:
"They said, 'hey, we're in Springfield' and I was like, 'okay, well, I'm close.' I just book my ticket, so I go to Springfield, Illinois. The show wasn't in Springfield, Illinois. So I'm calling D'Lo Brown, 'where are you at, man? I'm at the rental car place.' And he says, 'I'm in a rent-a-car place! Where are you?' I'm starting to look around and this is no cell phones. This is payphone. I'm looking around and I said, 'man, quit playing. Like, we've got to hurry up and go.' He's like, 'what gate are you at?' 'There's only one gate.' It was a small airport. 'You're in Springfield, Mass.?' I said, 'Springfield what?' And he was like, 'Mark, we're in Springfield, Massachusetts.' And I went, 'I'm not.'"
Dixie snubs roster:
Dixie Carter refused to hold the promised meeting with the roster last night, regarding the future of TNA, and was said to have shown no interest in ever having that conversation with them.
Raw tease:
- Sasha Banks challenges Charlotte one-on-one
- Will Seth Rollins continue to defy Raw General Manager Mick Foley?
- Cesaro & Sheamus continue their tag team quest
- Can Brian Kendrick put himself in line for another WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match?
- Will Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson top "The List of Jericho"?
Bella confirms future:
Brie Bella says she has not closed the door on her wrestling career, and will one day come back to be by her sister's side, but not until she has had her baby.
Booker T critical of Randy Orton over flag controversy:
"Just for a minute, Randy Orton took a step back and said, 'Maybe I don't know what people are going through because I'm not walking in their shoes'. You can speculate, but until you have walked in those shoes, you just don't know. People should step back and look at this, even for a minute, from someone else's perspective—and listen. Then come up with a conclusion after you've actually sat and talked about it, instead of making your decision before you even sit down."
Michael Cole remembers Jerry Lawler heart attack:
It is 4 years since Jerry Lawler had a heart attack live on Raw. Michael Cole has discussed the incident today...
"I thought Jerry was pretending that he was sleeping. So I turned around to say to him, 'King, what are you doing?' As I turned around, Jerry was face-first on the announce table and he was literally snoring into his microphone. I said, 'Doc, get over here!'"
Indie legend to debut for WWE:
Austin Aries and a mystery partner have been added to the Dusty Rhodes classic tournament. That mystery partner is expected to be ROH legend Roderick Strong.
Injury:
Natalya had her two front teeth knocked out over the weekend.
