– Konnan spoke about Rey Mysterio’s WWE status on the latest episode of MLW Radio, stating that Rey’s hiatus is indeed a personal issue and has nothing to do with a violation of WWE’s Wellness policy:
“Somebody seems to think that Rey was suspended for the wellness policy. Absolutely incorrect. He is dealing with a family situation right now and he does have permission to be out. They know what’s going on and he will be back soon. He is not injured. He doesn’t have any drug issues – and I’m not covering for him because he’s my boy… but he’s cool, he’ll back soon.”
As reported yesterday, Mysterio is scheduled to return to action at Friday’s RAW live event from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA.
– ScrenCrush.com reports that The Rock’s movie Hercules will be released in theaters on August 8th, 2014. The movie is being directed by Brett Ratner and production is scheduled to begin in early next year.
– Wannabe WWE superstar Brad Maddox “crashed” Wednesday night’s WWE Main Event broadcast and did commentary during the Prime Time Players vs. Primo and Epico match. WWE.com has a video up featuring Maddox evaluating his own performance. As you can imagine, he’s got a very high opinion of himself and says he might soon replace Jerry Lawler on RAW.
