Today's News

NXT Japan:

Samoa Joe will give Shinsuke Nakamura a rematch for the NXT gold in Japan on the NXT tour next month.

SPOILER!!!...

Samoa Joe won the NXT title from Shinsuke Nakamura so the Japanese could win it back in Japan next month, not because his call up to the main roster has been cancelled.

Kidd takes swipe at WWE:

Tyson Kidd says WWE pulled him from Total Diva's because they did not want his injury to be a feature of the series. He refused to go into detail but speculation is WWE would be embarrassed at best and put into a very difficult position at worst, with the inundation of former stars lawsuits they have been hit with in recent months, should one of their stars be shown on TV every week discussing the injury that ended his career, and nearly killed him, and having footage of his day to day struggle with the effects of the damage to his body. WWE reportedly feared the footage would be used against them by the plaintiffs in the cases against them. Kidd though is angry that he has been pulled from the show.

WWE PC:

Mark Henry has been coaching at the PC this week, and WWE have signed indie legend Steve Corino from ROH. He will finish up his dates with ROH next month and will then join the PC as a coach.

One last title run for Taker?:

Dave Meltzer is claiming to have inside info about The Undertaker's 2017 angles. He says WWE plan to have Taker challenge AJ Styles for the World title at the Royal Rumble and would then defend vs John Cena at WrestleMania.

None of this is official and should be taken as rumour, given the source, but even if it is confirmed it would be dependent on Undertaker's rehab from his hip surgery.

WWE cut episode:

Triple H's story on the new animated series 'WWE Story Time' which was to air tonight has been cut because he talked about Shawn Michaels being dazed out, and Sean Waltman being passed out in a restaurant which Scott Hall threw a fit at a chef in.

Heat on Road Dogg:

Road Dogg tweeted that Scott Dawson would never get called up making tweets like the one he did yesterday. It was a joke, but fans on Twitter, well it is still real to them dammit! and they gave D O double G both barrels. So much so that he ended up writing a formal apology to the NXT star to try to end the vitriol.

Feud over:

Chris Jericho says he pulled his Sin Cara stunt on Raw to mess with the internet. He also says Cara is a great guy and their fall-out is in the past, and that Sin himself loaned him his mask for the spot.

WWE love UK food:

WWE stars Nikki Bella and Naomi have revealed the favourite food of the WWE roster when they visit our fair isles. Banoffee Pie. This is weird to me because it is quite often sold over here as an American dessert, but is apparently not available over there?.

Aries setback:

Austin Aries has been told he will need permanent titanium plates put into his face to repair the damage done by Shinsuke Nakamura in NXT recently.

Backstage feud:

Lana is hot with Dana Brooke for stealing her finishing move. The tension was showcased on Total Diva's this week.
