Indie star wants 4 minutes:

Matt Cross says he wants 4 minutes on Raw...

"I need one 4-minute match on RAW, you can fire me afterwards if it doesn't hold up, but I will do 3, 4 or 5 things that no one has done in the ring and I've been doing this for 17 years. There are moves that have been stolen of mine and there are moves that haven't been stolen yet which has to make me think it's because they can't be done by anyone else. So I would love that opportunity just to showcase my style. It's not theoretical like 'I think I can have a good match with Finn Balor', it's like I know I can because I've had matches I'm very proud of with like 80% of the roster. It would be nice to do it on that level but with that said I'm very happy to be in Lucha Underground and it's fun."

Raw 25:

Kevin Nash has pulled out of Raw 25. He recently had surgery and doesn't feel ready to travel.

Impact legend confirms future plans:

James Storm wants to go to WWE...

"My ultimate goal is to go to WWE. The WWE has such a grip on the world, it's pretty amazing, and I believe I still have a lot to give. I'm in the best shape I've ever been. When I left Impact, I told people this isn't my last stop, it's just time for me to get on a new horse."

Before that though, he is coming for a tour of the UK.

Reigns responds:

Roman Reigns has denied being a customer of a steroid dealer...

Hogan vs WWE:

Hulk Hogan has upset WWE with a comment he made about the Raw party...

"I don't know if they want me back. I think the fans want me back. I think that I'm part of that company from the ground up. Triple H I know is a huge fan of the guys that gave their blood, sweat and tears and their personal life to make this happen. I know Triple H would love to see me back on the inside again."

WWE released a terse single line statement denying interest...

"At this time, WWE remains committed to its decision."
