- Former SHIMMER star Rebecca Knox, who recently signed a developmental deal with WWE, noted on Twitter that she’s headed from her native Ireland to Florida this week to begin training with WWE.
- While Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena for the WWE Title has been discussed for this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view, there have been some pushing for a Triple Threat with Cena defending against Mark Henry and Ryback.
- Tonight’s WWE RAW takes place from the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, Iowa. Confirmed for tonight is a tag team match with Darren Young and Titus O’Neil vs. CM Punk and Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel.
No other matches have been announced but Triple H and Vince McMahon are scheduled to appear and further their storyline. Ryback vs. John Cena in a Tables Match is being advertised locally.
WWE is focusing on the following points for tonight’s show:
* Will a tag team victory smooth things out within Paul Heyman’s circle?
* Will Mark Henry finally capture a title that has eluded him his entire career?
* Is the party coming to an end for Alberto Del Rio?
* Will AJ Lee or Kaitlyn strike next?
* How will Kane respond to his loss to Randy Orton on SmackDown?
- As noted earlier, WWE NXT creative assistant Rob Naylor has left the company. He made some tweets over the weekend and Triple H replied:
Naylor: “Thank YOU to my NXT “kids”. Love you all – now go do me proud and take the wrestling business to new heights. Humbled and honored tonight”
“@TripleH Thank you again for everything, PauI. Was a pleasure to be on the ground floor of the great changes made to Developmental. #Jiminy”
Triple H: “@NINaylor …. Thank you for your huge contributions!!! Like I said, let me know when u r ready, c u down the road #thankyoujiminycricket”
- CM Punk has been added to Tuesday night’s WWE SmackDown tapings in Topeka, Kansas.
Money in the Bank is getting close and several matches have been added to the popular pay-per-view. Looking back at the event, we’ve seen major moments like CM Punk winning the WWE championship and leaving the promotion an hour later to dozen of highlight reel videos on YouTube from the ladder match itself. It’s a huge night in wrestling and dare I say weighs more significance than SummerSlam or Survivor Series. It’ seems obvious WNZ has chosen to focus on the upcoming show and we need some help with these questions.
1. With two weeks until the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, the WWE has announced the participates. This year features a match for each major title with previous winners, former champions, returning stars and some first timers taking part. The WWE championship has: CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus vs. Christian vs. Kane vs. Rob Van Dam. The World Heavyweight championship side has: Wade Barrett vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow vs. Dean Ambros...

Hello ladies and gentlemen, Modfather back again with another article. This week concerning how important ECW were to the business as a whole.
We've all heard of the stories that Vince McMahon stole the attitude era from under the noses of ECW, but how true is that ?
Well, let's have a little look and see.
First off, where to begin. Well why not the man behind the plan. Paul Heyman.
Heyman has always been an integral part of any company he has been in. In WCW he was the leader of the Dangerous Alliance which boasted throughout it's time, some of the most gifted men and women WCW had to offer. Even back in the AWA where it first appeared, the Dangerous Alliance with The Rock n Roll Express were winning the AWA Tag titles, and Adrian Adonis having a series on high profile matches against AWA's top competitors.
He was given the opportunity to run the D.A once again in WCW, and WCW wasted no time in securing him Rick Rude, Larry Zbyszko and Arn Anderson as...
Right finally we have the Payback results and subsequent week on the chart, I seem to have less and less time to write these days but I will endeavour to continue to deliver the report, even if it is later than late and never seems to get any comments anymore. Anyway, let’s get on with it…
1st Place: Mark Henry (10/10)
Payback aside it is hard to consider anyone else for the top spot when Henry managed to sucker everyone in before lowering the boom and dropping Cena, obviously earning himself a title shot for MitB. I take back any comments I made about Henry taking on Cena instead of Ryback these past few months, although this angle still would have worked, imagine Cena doing the same to Henry as Ryback and then Henry saying he would retire, it...
