Broken blockade:

Impact boss Ed Nordholm says he will no longer negotiate with the Hardyz over the ownership of 'Broken'...

"I've stopped thinking about this. We have a show to put on, and a company and a brand. We've got things on our plate that are more important than sorting out the "Broken Brilliance." I made a genuine effort to resolve something to benefit the Hardys as a goodwill gesture to Matt. It didn't reach a conclusion and we're moving on. We're not going back to it, I'm not interested in opening a new dialogue, I'm not interested in opening another conversation about it. We made our best effort, it didn't happen, and I'm not going to negotiate all over again."

Angle accused:

Kurt Angle's former girlfriend Rhaka Khan has been tweeting WWE officials accusing him of physically, mentally and financially abusing her during their brief relationship in 2009. She says she is breaking her silence after a seven year order of agreement not to discuss it expired.

GFW sign champ:

Moose has signed a new three year deal with Impact.

Help TE winner:

Matt Cappotelli needs $500,000 to fund treatment for his battle against brain cancer. He has set up an online fundraiser here.

NXT:

Asuka vs Ember Moon has been booked for Brooklyn 3, the pre SummerSlam special.

Superstar shakeup:

WWE are planning a post SummerSlam roster shakeup, which will include the option to relegate talent from Raw and SmackDown into NXT. This may be because they want to raise NXT onto a par with the other two shows, but will likely not be seen that way by the ones that take the step back.

Cody planned escape:

Cody Rhodes says he planned his escape from WWE for 6 months...

"I was just talking about this and it's made the difference. When guys leave – whether they decide to leave or they're forced out – there's usually this period of time we see them around the world and they can ride that WWE wave and use it, and then it goes away. It loses its luster after a few months. I planned my escape for six months before I left. I loved WWE, but in the end I was unhappy. It was just like planning an escape from a maximum security prison. I'd released a list of potential opponents online so when the 90-day no-compete clause was up, I had matches booked on good faith. I thought about the follow-up."

Alum in movie:

John Morrison has scored a role in 'Sharknado 5'.

Braun begs:

Braun Strowman dropped to his knees in a bar and begged for forgiveness from a woman he had refused to sign an autograph for. The incident happened in Orlando, in a bar where talent from WWE and GFW were socialising together. A woman approached him and told him he was her sons favourite wrestler, and asked for an autograph for him, Braun, not recognising the lady as Karen Jarrett blew her off, in a sweary rant. She then responded that she would inform the father of her son, Braun's Raw GM Kurt Angle, that he had snubbed their boy, leading to Braun apologising and begging for forgiveness. Jarrett wasn't having it, and Strowman dropped to his knees in front of WWE and GFW talent and pleaded for her not to talk to Kurt about the incident. Karen still refused to accept, saying he was only sorry because of who she was, and he should not treat people the way he had just treated her. Braun conceded she was right.
