PWInsider is reporting Serena's been released. No official confirmation from WWE yet.

PWTorch's iphone app says Serena was released for not living the Straight Edge Society gimmick in public and that the angle with her being caught on a security camera drinking alcohol may have been a message to Serena to straighten up with art imitating life.

That is REAAAAALLY dumb.

To follow up on earlier reports regarding Skip Sheffield suffering an injury at an 8/18 WWE house show in Hawaii, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is now reporting Sheffield suffered a compound fracture in his left ankle and will need surgery. He is expected to have surgery some time next week once the swelling does down. Sheffield is expected to miss anywhere from four to six months of action as a result. This is obviously very bad timing for Sheffield as The Nexus storyline isn't expected to still be around when he is healthy again with talks indicating it could end as early as October.

A brawl broke out amongst fans at today’s RAW live event in Newark, New Jersey over a T-shirt John Cena had thrown to the crowd just before his Steel Cage Match with Sheamus.

According to a fan who witnessed the incident, the melee lasted approximately 15 minutes before Prudential Center staff broken it up. The correspondent also noted that over 10 people were ejected from the arena and some children were hurt during the brawl.


-Speaking to the Scottish Daily Record, WWE confirmed that Tiffany has been pulled from the road in the wake of her arrest.
Tiffany was arrested earlier this month following a domestic incident with husband and fellow WWE performer Drew McIntyre, and a WWE spokesperson told the Scottish outlet that the Diva, real name Taryn Terrell, will be off the road while the situation is investigated.

“Taryn has been kept off the shows to give the authorities the required time to investigate,” said the spokesperson. “The bosses see it primarily as a personal issue, but they have to keep a close eye on the legal proceedings.”

Confirming what was reported earlier, WWE’s current stance is that if Tiffany manages to escape any charges, she will likely be welcomed back into the fold.

The spokesperson clarified, “If she is not charged with any wrongdoing, she will be welcomed back.”

Husband Drew McIntyre had previously told the media that he believes the situation was a misunderstanding.



--In at interview with The Boston Herald, Vince McMahon talks about John Cena's rise to the top in WWE.

"You have to start with the quality of the human being,” McMahon said. "John is an extraordinary human being; he’s honest, he’s loyal.

"He’s full of himself, too,” McMahon added with a laugh. "But he’s like a throwback to the type of individual it’s difficult find these days, someone with old-fashioned values. In addition to that, he’s a Neanderthal when it comes to strength. No matter how good you are as a human being, you need talent. You could tell that John had talent - very raw talent, mind you."

Vince also recalled holding a meeting with the locker room in which he stated that he was looking for someone who was ready to reach for the brass ring. "Step on people on the way over if you have to," McMahon recalled saying.

"Apologize later. I’m looking for someone with courage that wants to break out and be ballsy enough to take on the responsibility of being the top guy. At the end of the meeting, someone came over and said, ‘I’m your man,’ and that was John."

-- Creative plans as of Monday night was for WWE to unify all of its championships within the next year. There would be one World Championship, one Tag Team Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and one Women's title. It is said that a WWE/World Title Unification Match will take place at next year's WrestleMania.

I hate this Idea....Having the Titles on each brand helps to establish new stars....well with the exception of the United States title which rarely gets defended. Whats the point of having the Miz with it, if you are not going to do anything with the title. I can see them unifying the IC and US but both World titles......WHY?

[Rob]

Less work for THQ when future games come out

[GGWF]

I like that the tag and piss break titles have been merged.

IMO, If they merge the IC and US, it should become a TV title.

I think that both brands should have a championship though.

Toby Keith is hosting on my birthday... UUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Just do away with the guest host nonsense. It's pointless to even hype. They basically have a whole 5 minutes, at most, to introduce a retarded match. Yeehaw! Lame. End it already!!
