KENTA may have to change his moves when he starts wrestling for WWE. KENTA’s Go 2 Sleep move is obviously associated with CM Punk & WWE may not allow him to use it because it would remind fans of Punk. KENTA’s Busaiku knee finisher has been used by Daniel Bryan & his Game Over submission was taken by Bryan & is now called the Yes Lock. KENTA also likely wouldn’t be allowed to use hi Tiger suplex because of fear of kneck injury issues.

Apparently the new team of Layla & Summer Rae is seen as the new adaption of LayCool, Layla’s former team with Michelle McCool. It’s reported that WWE put Layla & Summer Rae together because of the return of The Beautiful People in TNA. WWE couldn’t reunite LayCool, so they put Layla with the Diva who looks most like McCool.

As noted yesterday Jessamyn “The Gun” Duke was scheduled to undergo hand surgery this morning after she broke it in two places in her fight against Leslie Smith just two days ago. It is now being reported once again via twitter by her mom Mabel Duke that Jessanyn is now out of surgery & it went smoothly. She also thanks you for all the prayers.

It was noted yesterday on DTRTwrestling weekly that there was talks of Gina Carano being signed to the UFC by next week. Now it is being said the UFC president Dana White is scheduled to meet with Carano Monday, after UFC’s event in Ireland. White is almost positive that some sort of deal will be worked out. White also said that Carano’s first fight in the UFC will more then likely be against Ronda Rousey for the title sometime in December. You can read the full article here http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/7/18/5916115/dana-white-will-meet-with-gina-carano-monday-and-is-pretty-confident
What do you guys think? Do you think it’s fair that Carano will more then likely automatically be getting a title shot even though she hasn’t competed since 2009??
I mean after all this is a fight lots of fans have wanted to see plus the champ herself has made it clear she’d love to fight Carano. Sound off let us know how you feel about this possible bout.

Some pretty upsetting news for members of the Gun Club. It was announced via twitter @Mable_Duke (Jessamyn’s mom) that the bones in her palm are not suppose to be sticking out and that Jess will need surgery to repair the problem. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning (Friday) you can check out the tweet here
For those who don’t know Duke broke her hand in two places in her bout against smith last night (7/16/14 at UFC fight night 45) after landing a right to the face of smith. Due to the injury Duke was unable to properly defend when pushed up against the cage. Smith then hit Duke with a knee to the liver which caused Duke to drop ultimately leading to the stoppage by the referee.
After the fight via twitter smith thanked Duke for the fight into which Duke responded “No THANK YOU. Disappointed that I couldn’t give you more but grateful for the opportunity nonetheless”
One can assume that a rematch between these to is bound to happen, but first things first. It’s recovery time for “The Gun” on behalf of everyone here on DTRTwrestling we would like to extend our well wishes to Jessamyn and hope for a speedy recovery. As a huge fan I would like to personally say that no matter what happens I’ll be here eagerly awaiting her return to the octagon. She has my support 100%
You can check out photos of the injury below.
