RAW Hosts Pull Out, NXT Screwup, Alberto Del Rio

– The comedy duo Penn & Teller have once again been removed from WWE’s lineup of upcoming RAW Guest Hosts. A WWE source has informed us that Penn & Teller are very protective over how they are presented on television and there’s been a lot of back-and-forth over how much the WWE creative team would write for them .. They were originally booked to host RAW on September 20th, the night after Night of Champions, but now it appears they’re out again.

The only two guest hosts now listed are teen actor Bobb’e J. Thompson on October 18 and country singer Toby Keith on Oct. 25, the night after the Bragging Rights PPV.

– Alberto Del Rio’s personal ring announcer is Jesus “Ricardo” Rodriguez, one of the head trainers at The Fit Pit Pro Wrestling School in Chatsworth, California.

– The dark match before last night’s SmackDown tapings saw John Morrison defeat Tyler Reks. The dark main event after the tapings saw Kane and The Undertaker go to a double DQ.

– After Titus O’Neil messed up MVP’s Yakuza kick on last night’s NXT 2 finale, MVP responded to a fan on Twitter who asked about the botched move. MVP wrote:

“He’s either a) really tuff. B) I missed. C) he has no clue!”

– Jim Ross, Ted DiBiase, JJ Dillon, Sgt. Slaughter and Mean Gene Okerlund were at WWE headquarters on Tuesday to film another round of “Legends Roundtable” shows for WWE On Demand.

– Goldust noted on Twitter that he suffered a black eye after his WWE Superstars match with TedDiBiase on Monday night in Boston.

– Ted DiBiase Jr. will be appearing on SyFy’s WCG Ultimate Gamer on Thursday, September 23rd. The show will feature SmackDown vs. RAW 2011.
