Bray Wyatt spoke with Cleveland.com to promote last night’s WWE live event in Cleveland, OH. Here are the highlights of what he said about:
The Wyatt Family’s Journey: “We are millions you know. At the drop of the hat there’s another and another and another. At the end of the day, wins and losses are meaningless. It’s not about one single battle. It’s about the entire journey.”
Chris Jericho Being Reigns & Ambrose’s Mystery Partner: “I was ready for Jericho. He is a familiar foe. He is a legend and icon in his own right. Unfortunately I knew that we were invulnerable right now.”
His entrance: “It’s not an entrance in my mind. It’s sharing a feeling. When you walk out, it has its own aura. It’s a once in a lifetime experience where the fireflies come out in an arena.”
Big E recently spoke with CentralJersey.com to promote next Friday’s WWE live event from Trenton, NJ. Here are highlights of what he said about:
The New Day’s Success: “Nothing quite changes going from feud to feud. As performers, we all strive to get the best possible reaction, whether that’s getting the loudest boos or the loudest cheers. The amount of work we have done behind the scenes, and seeing it come to fruition, has been amazing. We’re always trying to steal the show and to have the best possible match we can and leave people with something memorable.”
His Goal in WWE: “As a performer in the WWE, obviously my goal is to become World Heavyweight Champion, but right now being a two-time tag champion with my brothers is really cool. Titles are important but you also want to be part of the most entertaining segments and I think that’s something we are all putting forth and I think all three of us are coming into our own as performers.”
New Day Splitting Up: “The thought of that has crossed our minds, but it’s not something that we currently want at this time. We are very persistent. We believe in the three of us as a trio, working together and I think we have great chemistry together.”
The Undertaker and his wife, former WWE Diva Michelle McCool, made a rare public appearance together on Sunday as they participated in the CC4C 4th Annual Micro Marathon 4 Inspiration in Bee Cave, Texas. It is a 2.62 mile family fun run around the Hill Country Galleria designed to raise funds to help inspire children suffering from rare and undiagnosed conditions. Here is a photo of the couple at the race, which Mark Henry also participated in.

McCool also posted a photo of herself with The Undertaker.

While The Undertaker and McCool were out at the charity event, their home fell victim to a toilet paper prank. The former WWE Diva released these photos on Instagram, noting, “Hey big, bad TP’ers……have you ever heard of OUTDOOR security cameras? Not so bright, huh? #cowards #didnotevendogoodjob #seeyasoon #thelaseronlymissedyoubyaminute #youmaynotunderstandthatone #CHL #nobiggie #youreoncandidcamera.”
– Tanner Saraceno, who was the last contestant on WWE Tough Enough to be eliminated before the finale, announced on Friday that he plans to pursue a career in mixed martial arts for the time being. He will, however, wrestle again when he feels ready.
After talking with some veteran WWE coaches and superstars, I've decided to heavily pursue Mma for now and come back to wrestling in future
After being eliminated from the show, Saraceno said he felt like he was not rewarded for the work he put in.
“I watched tons of video and matches of how the guys perform and the small things they do that I would maybe be able to make my own. I watched video after video of promos. I feel like I put in a lot of work, and I don’t feel like I was rewarded for it yet. So it’s definitely something I’m going to have to keep working, which I had to do my whole life. I don’t usually get things the first time around. I’m stubborn enough where I eventually get there,” Saraceno said in an interview with Channel Guide Magazine.
Back in April, WWE announced a new, international class of 11 recruits, including former collegiate athletes, bodybuilders and talent from the independent wrestling circuit, from seven countries that began training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Three men from that class made their respective wrestling debuts in a 20-Man Battle Royal at Saturday’s NXT live event in Fort Pierce, Florida: Peter Howard, Thomas Kingdon and Kenneth Crawford.
Howard, who hails from Exeter, England, played collegiate Rugby in the United Kingdom and was a regional discus champion.
Kingdon, who is from Traverse City, Michigan, competed in amateur bodybuilding and played football in high school. In 2013, he won the super-heavyweight class at the NPC Central States Competition.
Crawford served in the U.S. Marine Corps for four years and was named Anson High School Athlete of the Year (North Carolina) in 2007. He wore black trunks and a white shirt, which Solomon Crowe kept pulling over his head so he could attack him.
Over on CSRWrestling.com Vince Russo has written two lengthy articles about Sting and his work so far in the WWE. In what sounds like a letter to Vince McMahon he explains that Sting deserves better.
Below is an excerpt from the piece where he discusses Sting in the WWE. Part one can be read at this link while part two can be read by clicking on this link.
“Fast forward a couple of years later—WWE. After holding out for 15 years . . . Sting finally decides to go to work for Vince McMahon. I’d be lying to you if I didn’t admit that there were tears in my eyes when I witness Sting come out in front of that crowd at WrestleMania. For years I was there when he came out to only a handful at Universal Studios—this is what this legend deserved. Sadly, knowing Vince and his massive ego, I knew deep down going in that Sting wasn’t going to win this match. To Vince, even after 15 years, he was still getting off on beating Ted Turner, and Sting was basically the last and biggest pawn. But, as unbelievably sad as that is—it really didn’t matter. Sting was getting the send-off in front of a massive audience, and win, or lose, I was glad he was going out that way. I also knew that the W meant nothing to Sting, because in the almost decade that I had worked with him—he was always business.
Fast forward to just a few weeks ago. Yeah, I was kind of surprised that the WWE was wheeling Sting out again. Why? Because they had lowered his stock with the loss to Hunter, and now a match against the Champion just really didn’t make much sense. This clearly showed that it was Vince’s ego that defeated Sting at WrestleMania and nothing else. Why would you beat the guy who was going to eventually get a shot at your Champion a few months later, and put over the guy who isn’t even close to wrestling again. That’s ego in its rawest form. Sting got beat, because Sting was WCW and not WWE. I’m sitting here not even believing that I wrote that last line—ridiculous.”
Mick Foley regularly takes to his official Facebook page to discuss a variety of topics, usually involving the wrestling world and today he remembered the late Dusty Rhodes who passed away earlier this year.
Recent events have reminded me that in addition to being one of the most charismatic and entertaining performers in pro-wrestling history. Dusty Rhodes was also one its most creative; breathing life into, and instilling confidence in so many characters who crossed his path. I should know. I was one of them. Without Dusty Rhodes, my own dream ends in 1991. Because of him, and the opportunity he provided me, I was able to firmly establish myself on the national scene in 1991, and create some memories along the way. I recently re-read my 1999 book for the first time in many years – looking for stories for my one-man-show that I may have forgotten along the way. I picked up a few of them, but what I took away mostly from that reading experience is how instrumental Dusty had been in my career, and how, in one specific case, with the most important moment of my career only hours away (an epic showdown with Vader) he taught me to relax and speak from the heart; to forget about structural and grammatical mistakes in favor of real emotion. Throughout his career, Dusty was occasionally knocked for his ego – with the idea being that he was preserving his career at the expense of others. In fact, the opposite may have been true. Characters he created, using the ideas that sprung from his from his heart, and interviews he structured, sometimes including the very words from his lips, provided the backbone to a new generation that eventually pushed him out of the performing limelight. In so many cases (including my own) those whose careers had benefited from his generosity of time and spirit downplayed the importance of those gits, and in doing so, temporarily took away from the magnitude of his immense legacy. In death, he took his rightful place at the very top of the mountain; that Mt Rushmore of wrestling royalty, carved into the collective consiousness of every wrestler whose life was richer, fuller, and more productive for having crossed his path. The Dream lives on – and always will
I love this photo of the Dream, because it shows off that light in his eyes when he was onto an idea – a light I was fortunate to see many times.
Former WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz spoke with Vulture.com about his debut within the WWE and what his goals were coming into the company.
In particular while speaking about his debut, he discussed how the original plans were to feature him as the host of SmackDown. Some highlights from the interview are below.
Trying not to be the Ryan Seacrest of the WWE during his debut:
“When I first came to WWE, I was told I was going to be the host of Friday Night SmackDown, and if you wanna be a WWE superstar, the worst thing you can be told is they want you to be the Ryan Seacrest of the WWE. I said, ‘Ya know what, they’re gonna give me a microphone. If they give me a microphone, I can make an audience boo me or cheer me.’ That’s how I proved myself [as a WWE star].”
On making goals, sticking to them and not worrying what others say:
“If you succeed at a goal, make another one, and make it even bigger. My goal now is to win an Oscar. When I say that, people laugh at me. When I said I wanted to be a WWE superstar, they laughed at me. When I said I wanted to main-event WrestleMania, they laughed at me. So far I’ve been able to prove them wrong, and that fuels my fire. Now I need to find the tools to get me where I need to get next. I make goals that everyone else thinks are unattainable, but I know I can do it.”

– This coming Wednesday (September 30th) at 5pm EST, WWE Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens will be joining Renee Young on a new episode of ‘Unfiltered’ on the WWE Network.
The synopsis for the episode reads: “Renee Young and Kevin Owens discuss everything from his anti-Canadian views on beer and sports, to his pets, to his debut against John Cena!”
– Also on the WWE Network on Wednesday, a brand new episode of “Table For 3” will premiere at 4:30pm featuring Daniel Bryan, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler.
The synopsis for that episode reads: “Daniel Bryan, Ryback and Dolph Ziggler share tales of the Intercontinental Title, as well as hilarious, never-before-heard road stories!”
WWE World Heavyweight champion Seth Rollins recently spoke with Chad Dukes of CBS Radio Washington DC 106.7 The Fan and ChadDukesWrestling.com. Here are some highlights of what Rollins said about:
How Cross Fit Has Helped Him Stay In Shape:
“I mean it’s the one thing that I do really that nobody else does and I’m doing a lot of things in the ring that nobody else does, so for me I feel like those two things kind of go hand in hand. I couldn’t do traditional bodybuilding and keep this schedule, it just wouldn’t work for me, I don’t think it works really for our generation of guys. More and more you’re seeing guys transfer over into functional fitness as opposed to training for aesthetics. The side effect of training functionally with high intensity, which is what CrossFit is that you also happen to look pretty decent as well. For me it serves two purposes, I get the job done in the ring, I look the part, and I stay super healthy all the time.”
If He Sees The Shield Reuniting One Day:
“We get to fire up the band in other incarnations. We always laugh about it now when we do these tag matches and six mans and I’m on the other side of the ring and they’re like partnered up with Randy Orton or something like that. It’s just funny because you can put the components in all the different places but it’s still comes out gold every time. The two of those guys, myself, I feel like paved the way for a different kind of work ethic than what we had been seeing in WWE over the past five years, maybe before that. That’s something I know the three of us are real proud of and every time we go out there we’re going out there to have the best match and steal the show weather working against each other, with each other it doesn’t matter, and that’s just kind of the attitude we came in with and we stuck to our guns this entire time and it’s cool to be able to share that with two other guys. The time we had with The Shield, who knows if it will ever come back around but if it doesn’t no one will ever be able to take that run away from us either.”
The second season of Lucha Underground that premieres in early 2016 will be taped once again from The Temple in Boyle Heights, California. There had been some talk of filming from Texas or Mexico. Filming is expected to start back up in December, with pre-production (ie. scripting, promos, vignettes, etc.) already underway.
Season 2 was in jeopardy for so long due to the high costs associated with filming the show. Episodes for the coming season will be less than the $400,000 per episode from season 1, but the producers are doing everything they can to make sure the less-expensive production values are not noticeable. Season 2 will have fewer than the 39 episodes that comprised the first season.
Lucha Underground was able to get all the pieces in place for a second season, but company officials are still trying to work out additional TV deals that would increase their exposure in Mexico and the United States. The big target for them is Telavisa Channel 5, which would give them financial assistance for this season as well as greater exposure in Mexico than WWE, AAA or CMLL.
During last night’s WWE live event in Cleveland it was announced that WWE Fastlane will emanate from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio in 2016.
The final PPV before WrestleMania 32 will take place on February 21st and during the event a number of tweets were posted showing the pre-sale password which has been confirmed as WWEPRE.
While promoting her personal campaign to stop cyberbullying, Cameron became emotional on Periscope as she spoke about her lack of ring time in WWE in recent months. The 27-year-old has not competed inside a WWE ring since early August, with her last televised match taking place in April. She was also dropped from the main cast of Total Divas in April.
“Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you’re not pretty enough, smart enough or tough enough to do anything because (starts crying) . . . sorry,” Cameron said. “The sky is the limit, like just don’t let anyone ever tell you that. Eww, sorry guys, I’m being emotional and I look so ugly when I cry.”
She continued, “My journey has definitely been difficult and I can’t wait to open up with you guys and tell you my experiences and everything I’ve been through. I just want to be perfect for you guys. I just want to have that one more chance to get back in the ring and show you guys how much I really care (wipes away tears). Eww, take it away for a second you guys.”
After regaining her composure, Cameron says, “Eww, I’m not going to have the tears! I have thick skin, why am I crying right now?! It’s okay, I’m human . . . I get emotional. I love what I do, I love trying to be a positive role model and I love you guys.”
– It’s not uncommon these days for WWE talent who are on the main roster to visit NXT and it seems that if a new tweet from Goldust is anything to go by, that’s what’s happening.
It’s not clear whether or not he’s hinting that he’s going to appear on a TV taping, TakeOver or he’s just heading down to work with some of the new guys in Florida.
– Elsewhere in the WWE Universe, Stardust teased on Twitter yesterday (September 25th) that his tailor is hard at work and that new ring gear is on the way.
– Finally, Chris Jericho has posted a photo Instagram celebrating a massive milestone with regards to his podcast Talk Is Jericho where he interviews guests from the wrestling world, the music world and beyond.
In the 22 months the podcast has been active Jericho has recorded 180 episodes and has now confirmed that he has reached 100,000,000 downloads on PodcastOne.
Former WWE commentator Jim Ross recently updated the Q&A section of his popular website JR’s BBQ and addressed a number of fresh topics.
The WWE Hall of Famer was asked by one user regarding WWE’s medical team and whether or not they provide support for their employees on an emotional level.
“WWE offers the best medical care for their performers in the world and I’d assume that would also include counseling if needed as well. No other company remotely comes close to caring or their talents as WWE does.”
Another user had a question regarding the future of The Undertaker and whether not his recent activity could mean that he’s hinting at retirement.
“I could see Taker working a part time schedule similar to Lesnar’s until his health won’t permit it but it seems as if the Deadman is in great shape at this time.”
The Q&A continued with JR being asked by another user about WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and his recent use of power moves.
“Rollins is using today’s hot moves or trends that many fans seem to like which will help him when he turns ‘face. How’s he’s booked is subjective to say the very least. What’s right and what’s wrong in the fictional world of pro wrestling is totally up to the viewer. Your opinion is just as valid as mine.”
Another user brought up Chris Jericho’s booking at WWE Night of Champions as the mystery partner to join Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns to take on The Wyatt Family.
“I like Jericho’s booking and think that he can help make Reigns better. Sting did great especially at 56 years of age and I was proud of him.”

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker have all been confirmed for the show and many are expecting some sort of WrestleMania match to be teased.
As always there has been a lot of speculation regarding Stone Cold Steve Austin and whether or not he might compete at the event in Dallas, Texas but apparently that’s not going to happen.
Taking to Twitter yesterday (September 25th) Steve shot down those rumors in the best way he knows how – by telling it exactly like it is…
You can take my name off the rumor mill as a Brock Lesnar opponent at WM32. Bullshit reporting.
– Regarding the WWE live event on October 3rd from Madison Square Garden, which will be broadcast on the WWE Network many were unsure whether or not the full card would be shown.
F4Wonline.com are reporting that unlike the recent “Beast In The East” special from Toyko, the full MSG card will be broadcast live onto the WWE Network.
This week’s episode of SmackDown (9/24) pulled in 2,183,000 viewers which is slightly up from last week’s episode (9/17) which managed to pull in 2,083,0000 viewers.
SmackDown’s viewing figures on SyFy have risen for a third week in a row after they dropped to 1,981,000 after the 3/9 episode according to PWInsider.
As with Monday Night RAW, the drop in numbers is in part thanks to football making a return to our screens however those numbers are slowly rising.
SmackDown this week featured Roman Reigns vs. Luke Harper, The New Day vs. Neville and The Lucha Dragons, Cesaro vs. Bo Dallas and Ryback and Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev and Kevin Owens.
The show was closed by Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins with Kane once again causing a distraction to Seth Rollins to give Ambrose the win.
In a new WWE 2K16 video released by the WWE 2K Development Team, Xavier Woods and Enzo Amore are shown outside the ring acting as managers.
Xavier Woods is in the corner of fellow New Day member Big E while Enzo Amore is in the corner of Big Cass and both are shown creating distractions to ensure the other wrestler doesn’t get the win.
At one point Xavier throws a steel chair into the ring, jumps up onto the apron and gets in the face of Big Cass while towards the end of the video Enzo pulls the referee from the ring during a pin attempt.
Fans can get their hands on WWE 2K16 when it is released on the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One consoles on the 27th of October in North America and on the 30th of October internationally.
Yesterday, we told you about a motion filed by the The Associated Press and other news organizations in Hulk Hogan’s lawsuit against Gawker. Gawker had successfully sued the FBI to get them to release the records of their investigation, which looked into an attempt to extort Hogan using the videos of him having sex with Heather Clem. However, the judge in Hogan’s suit against Gawker, the Honorable Pamela Campbell, immediately sealed the records. Being that this is highly unusual and the federal court had already ruled that the file was public record, the AP and others were trying to get Judge Campbell to unseal it.
Well, Judge Campbell made up her mind pretty quickly. The Associated Press is reporting that the judge denied the motion just a day after it was filed. As of right now, those are the only details we really have, but if we get a copy of the order, we’ll keep you updated. As it stands right now, only Gawker’s lawyers are allowed access to the FBI records, with even Gawker founder Nick Denton locked out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTLztVGd414
Hogan’s side had demanded an investigation when the transcript of his racist rant on one of the videos was leaked to The National Enquirer and Radar Online. Being that it was on one of the videos in question and the person of interest in the investigation (Los Angeles lawyer Keith Davidson) had also prepared transcripts, Hogan thinks Gawker’s lawyers leaked it. Gawker’s side insists that the transcripts had been floating around Tampa for years and didn’t have to come from them. The existence of the racist comments (but not the actual quotes) were first reported back in 2012.
As previously noted WWE.com caught up with Sting following his match with Seth Rollins at WWE Night of Champions which left him injured and the WWE Universe concerned for his future.
Among a variety of topics including his injury, what happened after the match and if he’ll wrestle again, Sting was also full of praise for his opponent that night Seth Rollins.
What he has to say about competing against Seth Rollins:
“The biggest pleasure. I’m honored. After 30 years and working with some of the best and some of the greatest, [Rollins] is, I’m telling you, he’s got to be the best I’ve ever worked with. I mean, this guy has it. And I think he’s just scratching the surface on what he will do. I’ve never seen somebody as talented. He’s working two [matches] on Raw, two [matches] on the pay-per-view, he’s involved in every other segment and it’s physical. He’s got guys coming from every angle. There’s a lot on his plate. He’s carrying a lot, and he’s handling it. He’s proven he can do it. I’m just glad I had a chance to work with him. He’s the kind of guy who could be in there with a broomstick and make something very interesting happen, a match that people would love somehow.”
What they had to say to each other once the match was over:
Really, I can’t say enough. He poked his head in the ambulance and said, “Man, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what happened.” I said, “Seth, don’t worry about it. It’s not your fault.” And he, for 15 minutes, he said, “I just wanted to tell you what an honor it was, what a pleasure. I can’t believe I had a chance to get in the ring with you and work with you. I was you for Halloween when I was a kid.” He was on and on about it, but man, this young guy, he doesn’t have any idea how much I appreciate being able to work with him.

Cody Rhodes and his brother Dustin (Goldust) will be appearing at next month’s NXT Takeover: Respect event to present the championship trophy to the winners of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. It will be Cody’s first WWE appearance (as himself) in nearly a year and a half. He told Triblive.com this week:
“It’s great though that you ask, because the Dusty Rhodes tag tournament taking place in NXT is something he would really be proud of because of all the platforms it gives to talent, including independent talent that came in for a shot to win the Dusty Rhodes tag tournament. I will actually be there myself, (as) me — for the first time a while on WWE programming — Cody Rhodes and my brother will be there to present the trophy, which I’m looking forward to seeing.”
The semi-finals and finals of the tournament will be held at Takeover: Respect on Wednesday, October 7th from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.
Cody also spoke about his decision to not return as Cody Rhodes after the passing of his father, the late, great “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes. He explains why he think it would have been tacky – and what Dusty told him about how he wanted to be remembered after he was gone.
“It would have been tacky — would have been tacky, and it wouldn’t have been genuine. Many years ago, I used to watch RAW with my dad, and we watched Nitro, and we watched the pay-per-views. Many years ago, there was a wrestler who passed away, and his name was used pretty regularly after that on programming. People were using it to try draw the adulation of fans. Everyone was saying, “Oh, well such and such who passed away would have loved this.” And (my father) told me, and this is something very few people know, “When I go don’t ever let anybody say that about me. I left my body of work on the table already and it doesn’t need to be expanded.” And I never forgot that. So there was never any question on who was coming back.”
NXT Champion Finn Balor teamed up with Samoa Joe at last night’s NXT Live Event in Lakeland, Florida (24th September) to take on the team of Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder.
Towards the end of the match with Dawson and Wilder on top of each other Balor took the opportunity to plant them with the Coup De Grace for the win, taking out a ceiling tile in the process.
A similar incident occurred during NXT’s Live Event last month but as shown in the photos, the venue does have a low ceiling so most top rope moves are likely to be a risk.
After the match his partner Samoa Joe checked him out for any potential injuries and Balor later tweeted that “Ratings are through the roof”:
Throughout the game fans will hear the voices of JBL, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler on commentary however Joey Styles has confirmed that he will be involved in one match during Showcase mode.
He took to Twitter yesterday (24th September) to confirm the news. WWE 2K would then go on to release a short video clip directly from Joey Styles himself.
WWE 2K16 will be released on the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One consoles on the 27th of October in North America and on the 30th of October internationally.
