There is social media drama over The Wyatt Family’s compound segment from this week’s WWE RAW as it had obvious similarities with TNA’s “Final Deletion” match with Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy.
Matt and his wife Reby Sky tweeted shots at the compound segment on Monday night. Wyatt then tweeted a response to Matt, which led to Matt issuing a challenge. You can check out their tweets below, and comments from the Senor Benjamin Twitter account:
Ryback, who is still out of action due to a WWE contract dispute, is ripping off The Bullet Club logo for a new t-shirt design he has coming out soon. – “Buffet Club”
Coming soon! For those who literally love food and can’t get enough. Front: Buffet Club Back: Feed Me More Lets face it life can sometimes suck and food makes us feel better. Don’t forget dessert either because we all know that part is just too sweet

Former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes will be seen on TV again in the near future, but not on a wrestling show … he booked a guest starring role on Arrow.
The announcement was made Saturday by Stephen Amell during a joint appearance between he and Rhodes at the Heroes & Villains FanFest in New Jersey.
No details were given on his role … but Amell said the deal was closed yesterday after an audition Cody recently took part in — which Rhodes hinted about in his first post-WWE statement.
Amell and the wrestler formerly known as Stardust wrestled against each other last year at SummerSlam in one of the most impressive celebrity related matches in WWE history.

Prince Puma, aka Ricochet, has reportedly turned down a new contract with Lucha Underground … but it’s still a mystery as to when he’d be allowed to work elsewhere.
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Puma was offered a “lucrative deal” to return to the series following Season 3 but recently made a decision to pass on the offer.
Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed the generous deal was for multiple years — not seasons — but Pro Wrestling Sheet sources were tight lipped on whether Ricochet had accepted the offer or not.
It’s presently not known if or when he is planning to sign with another promotion. It is believed, however, that standard Lucha Underground contracts prevent talents from appearing on TV with another promotion until six months after their last appearance in the Temple airs.
Puma’s final match will reportedly air in Summer 2017.
For now, Ricochet is expected to continue working for New Japan Pro Wrestling.
The El Rey Network issued the following for tonight’s Lucha Underground episode.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross provided unique commentary for the NASCAR Truck Series brawl that occurred over the weekend
The NASCAR Truck Series usually doesn’t get as much attention as the Sprint Cup Series does, but on Saturday night, they stole the show for the weekend. After a crash on the track between John Wes Townley and Spencer Gallagher, the two brawled right in the middle of the track.
Brawl might be a kind way of putting it, because it was the worst fight ever and they looked like they were hugging instead of fighting. Short little hooks and a terrible DDT right on the warm pavement highlighted the fight, but immediately, people began attaching Jim Ross calls to the video.
So it’s only fitting that Ross created his own commentary for the fight in hilarious fashion. He tried his best to call it with the excitement of a Hell in a Cell match, but this fight was so bad, that Ross really turned up the comedy in this scenario.
