Vince McMahon during his interview on the Steve Austin podcast said something about the Superstars had to reach for the brass ring. Last night on Twitter after NXT Takerover: R Evolution Triple H tweeted that he needs help because he lost a whole box of rings. Triple H’s tweet was obviously a response to what Vince said on the podcast. Below is Triple H’s tweet:
Santino Marella had been making plans for a WW comeback following his last surgery in September. Marella said on Twitter that he had to undergo a semi-emergency surgery to remove all the hardware out of his neck from a previous surgery and that he’s not sure what the recovery will entail. Below is his tweet:
Corey Graves announced his retirement from in-ring action because doctors advised him to retire due to concussion related issues. Graves also announced that he is joining the NXT announce team. He joined the announce team to call the action for NXT Takeover: R Evolution!

New promos for the return of Total Divas in 2015 do not feature Summer Rae and Naomi. WWE posted a photo on Instagram plugging a Total Divas photo shoot which tagged the entire cast with the exception of Summer Rae and Naomi. It appears that Summer Rae and Naomi won’t be apart of the new season of Total Divas despite appearing on the original poster.
Below is the WWE Instagram photo:

Above is a video of WWE Superstars & Divas meeting with US Armed Forces Purple Heart recipients at Fort Benning in Georgia for the WWE Tribute To The Troops show, which can be seen Wednesday, December 17, 8pm E. on the USA Network.
WWE has recently added The Undertaker to WrestleMania 31 promotional material, including a newly painted tour bus.
The Wrestling Observer reports that there are current plans for Taker to face Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 31, but it’s dependent on Taker telling WWE he will be working the show, which he has not done so yet. There was earlier talks of Taker VS Sting at WrestleMania 31 after Stings arrival in WWE, but because of Taker earlier saying he doesn’t plan on working a match at WrestleMania 31, WWE appears to have moved on with plans for a possible Sting VS Triple H match at WrestleMania 31.
Even if Taker doesn’t wrestle at WrestleMania 31, WWE will use him in some form because he’s still under contract with a seven figure guarantee.

It didn’t take long after the announcement that Former WWE Superstar CM Punk had signed with UFC to fight in the Octagon for fighters to start calling him out.
Everyone from top 10 middleweight Michael Bisping to former Ultimate Fighter winner Elias Theodorou asked for a fight with Punk. However neither of them will get anywhere near Punk for his first fight considering Punk has zero fighting experience in MMA, not a single bout on his record either professionally or as a amateur.
UFC President Dana White stated that Punks’s first fight will come against someone with equal footing in the fight game.
Former Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Jason David Frank has asked for a fight with Punk. Frank has dabbled in MMA as recently as 2010 when he turned from acting to fighting with 4 amateur bouts, winning all 4 in the first round, but he had to forgo a future in MMA due to film project commitments. Frank is now chomping at the bit to get a fight with Punk in the Octagon. Frank took to his Facebook page on Sunday to request a fight with Punk.

Yesterday AJ picked up the award for Diva of the year at the Slammys on Raw. In her acceptance speech she name dropped some of the NXT wrestlers such as Bayley and Sasha Banks. She even named dropped Emma and Paige. It was a moment that generated mixed reactions.
For the most part people saw it as AJ giving the future of the company respect a passing of the torch so to speak, while others thought it as a diss to the total divas cast?
How so you ask? Well one would argue why couldn’t she had named droop Naomi, or Eva, or summer, or even her opponent for this Sunday Nikki Bella? Not to mention the fact that Nikki posted what seemed like a shoot to AJ Lee on her Instagram account. (Check it out here) http://instagram.com/p/wXv2ucCkJE/
So what do you think was it a diss or a sign of respect? No matter what side your on this moment has people taking and after all that’s the good thing. One should also take notice that AJ isn’t advertised for any WWE events after this Sundays TLC&stairs PPV this Sunday. Was last night AJ’s final Raw appearance? Only time will tell and I’m sure it’ll be in the near future.
