Tough Enough Season 6 winner Sara Lee has been released from her WWE contract.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Sara received the news on Friday, but there’s no word at this point on why she was cut from the company.

Lee beat out 7 other women last year to earn a $250,000 contract. She debuted at an NXT live event in March, but hasn’t been used much since.

Runner-up Mandy Rose, who the trainers clearly wanted to win, was instantly signed to a deal and given a role on Total Divas. She’s since made multiple appearances on NXT programming.

All eyes are now on The Yeti to make the most recent season of Tough Enough mean something.

The photo below has been floating on social media, with Sara revealing today that herself and NXT star Wesley Blake are expecting a child.

Is Dolph Ziggler Leaving WWE?

Flair said that he doesn’t want to let the cat out of the bag but he thinks that WWE wants Ziggler to work in the office. I presume that Flair means that he would be welcome as a producer/agent. Flair said that Ziggler loves Phoenix (where he resides) so he doesn’t know if that will happen. Flair praised Ziggler for being a nice guy and being so good that he can have a job as long as he wants.

Ziggler has done a pretty good job getting his name outside of WWE. Most fans know that he does stand up comedy on his days off and, during the past few weeks, he’s been appearing in segments for “Kennedy” on the Fox Business Network.

Ziggler will face The Miz on Sunday, October 9 at WWE No Mercy. The pay-per-view will emanate from Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center and will air live on the WWE Network.

Jamie Noble Stabbed Outside Of His Trailer Park Home

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Jamie Noble has been hospitalized after he was stabbed two times early Wednesday morning inside of a trailer park.

The Mercer County Sheriff’s Office tells us Jamie allegedly returned home early in the morning from a WWE event after a long drive, and then left to get a snack while his girlfriend took a bath.

We’re told upon returning to Shadowood mobile home park, a driver pulled in behind his car and got out to accuse Jamie of cutting him off on the road. Jamie allegedly apologized, but the two men continued to argue and Noble eventually took the man to the ground when things got physical.

Police officials say 2 other men got out of the suspect’s car at that point, and at least one stabbed Jamie — once in the upper back and once in the mid-back/spine area — before taking off.

EMS were called and Jamie Noble was eventually treated, then taken to the emergency room.

WWE is aware of the situation and they’ve already made contact with police.

Noble was last seen on TV in March to break up a fight between Roman Reigns and Triple H. He also had a lengthy stint as J&J Security with Joey Mercury.

Sources say he’s currently in the hospital, but no longer in the ER. His current condition is unclear.

Becky Lynch’s International Media Call With ESPN UK

WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch recently did an international media call to promote the upcoming WWE UK tour in November. The ESPN website has coverage at this link and below are highlights:

Winning the title:

“It was the culmination of half my life’s work — just personified in a white and blue and gold championship. It’s hard to describe. But everything comes flashing back to me. You can be going through hardships sometimes, and you’re struggling, and then you’re wondering if you’re ever gonna make it. [Wondering] if things are gonna work out, and you just keep pushing forward. And then getting this symbol, this trophy, you just realize that all the struggle, all the hard times they were all worth it — and you wouldn’t give any of them back, because that’s what makes the journey even better.”

Her original gimmick in WWE NXT where she danced a jig to the ring while Irish music played:

“Let us never talk about that again. You know what, you can’t get worse than that. Sometimes you’ve just gotta fricking make a fool out of yourself and then you become little bit untouchable. So, I tell ya, it’s gonna make one hell of a biography one day, I hope. That was terrible, and we all know it was terrible. Let nobody else say anything different.”

A possible Four Horsewomen stable with Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Bayley on TV:

“Ooh, that’s a good question. I think we’re better fighting each other, to be honest with you. That’s where magic happens. But who knows? I could see it happening very easily, especially with the talent we’re gonna have coming up from NXT soon, with Asuka, and Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, to name just a few. I don’t know if we will be reunited as a group, as a unit. But we will be reunited to main event Wrestlemania.”

TNA Running Out Of Time To Make A Deal, WWE Back In Play On A Potential TNA Sale

Source: WrestlingINC

WrestlingINC has noted before that WWE has had interest in purchasing the TNA, mainly for the tape library, and that a real offer did exist but it was described as an option if no other parties purchase the company. Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio today that WWE is back in the picture in regards to the sale. Dixie Carter is able to sell to whoever she wants to and apparently things have become very complicated.

TNA is running out of time and at last word, there was still no deal for Billy Corgan to purchase the company. Corgan needs to make a deal to fund this Sunday’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view and next week’s TV tapings. When Corgan talked to ESPN this week, he still talked like a deal could be weeks away but Meltzer noted that a deal needs to be made before Friday as it’s the last business day before Sunday’s pay-per-view.

While WWE would mainly want the TNA tape library, they would likely keep a few wrestlers but the company would be done.

Update:

Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that he’s also heard more and more about Dixie Carter having talks with WWE about a potential sale over the last 5 days. It was noted this morning that the sale has become very complicated and Dixie can sell to whoever she wants to.

There’s still the chance that Billy Corgan can make a deal happen but even Johnson believes “the fuse on the TNA bomb is close to the end.” Johnson adds that something or someone is going to have to give soon and there’s no avoiding it.

Regardless of who becomes the new owners, it should be a very interesting week for TNA. Stay tuned to the site for the latest.
