– NXT Corey Graves is close to getting called up to the main roster. Graves’ gimmick is that he’s a cocky outcast who is a product of the underground music scene. He wrestled at this weekend’s WWE live events and was backstage at RAW.
– The “fans” who CM Punk spoke to at ringside during his promo on RAW were independent wrestlers “Adorable” Anthony Andrews and “Marvelous” Michael Stevens. They are local wrestlers work for RPW, AWN, and the Anarchy promotion.
– Now that the WWE vs. TNA lawsuit has been settled, a former TNA talent rumored to be headed to WWE is Amazing Red. The former X-Division Champion got a WWE tryout prior to WWE’s No Way Out 2012 pay-per-view, but the pending lawsuit kept WWE from signing him. The tryout reportedly went very well and Red has a few friends in WWE, including Matt Striker. He was recently pulled from TNA’s “One Night Only: X-Travaganza” PPV taping, which has added some momentum to this story.
