– WWE NXT star Leo Kruger worked last night’s WWE live event from Austin, Texas, losing to Zack Ryder. This is the second week in a row that Kruger was on the road with WWE, so it looks like he’s being evaluated for a main roster call-up.
– CM Punk returned to action at Friday’s live event from Austin, TX. Punk came out at the beginning of the show saying that he was taking the night off because he “doesn’t like the fans.” Later in the show, Vickie Guerrero said Punk had to wrestle – and would team up with Dolph Ziggler against the team of John Cena and Ryback in the main event. Cena got the pin on Dolph Ziggler to win the match for the babyfaces and one of our live correspondents said that Punk did not do too much during the match.
– Bill Demott has been relieved of his duties as the head trainer of NXT and will be replaced by Billy Gunn. There is a lot of speculation as to whether DeMott is still with WWE, but the recent controversy with a former WWE developmental talent accusing DeMott of hazing his students and making them train naked probably didn’t help his situation.
