Former WWE Superstar Sean “X-Pac” Waltman was arrested at the airport in Los Angeles over the weekend. Shortly after midnight on Saturday Waltman was arrested on a felony charge and later released on Sunday after posting a $35,000 bail.

Waltman noted on Twitter that the arrest was not drug related but TMZ reports that Waltman was arrested after cops said he tried to bring marijuana and meth through customs. Waltman was headed to the UK for an indie event.

Waltman was stopped at customs when the drugs were discovered and airport police were called to the scene. Waltman was arrested on the spot and taken to a nearby jail where he was charged with possession of a controlled substance. During that process, police discovered Waltman had an outstanding warrant from a prior DUI arrest.

Waltman’s rep told TMZ that the former DX member was “fine” but they didn’t offer any further details.

Smashing Pumpkins frontman and former TNA Wrestling President Billy Corgan has agreed to purchase the historic National Wrestling Alliance. Corgan has a deal that would see him purchase the NWA name, rights, trademarks as well as rights and possession of the legendary NWA title belt.

No word yet on when Corgan will begin running the company or what he has in store for the various NWA member promotions, or the NWA On Demand streaming service.

NWA President Bruce Tharpe took to his Facebook page and wrote the following on the future of the organization:

I am very excited for the future of the NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE.As everyone knows by now – Billy Corgan and I have agreed on principle regarding his acquisition of the NWA brand. This decision comes after many weeks of negotiation and deep consideration.

Although Billy Corgan may be a fresh face to wrestling – he is an extremely successful businessman and has a deep admiration and respect for the NWA. He is also putting together a very strong team.

With the capital and business acumen that Billy Corgan brings to the table – I am confident that he has the ability to take the NWA to the next level. And I have promised to do all I can to help him succeed. I ask you to join me in supporting the new NWA regime in the future.

I am not leaving wrestling – but after four years at the helm of the NWA – I look forward to stepping back and allowing someone new and passionate to take control of this great and noble organization.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the NWA over the years and during my tenure. I also want to publicly thank Billy Corgan for his confidence and respect for this iconic brand.

The next few months are going to be really exciting for the National Wrestling Alliance – but most of all for the fans!

2017 WWE Payback (RAW) Results

(Kickoff) Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Gallows & Anderson – Winners: Enzo Amore & Big Cass

(Kickoff) Miz TV – host The Miz with Maryse – guest Finn Balor (transcript from WrestlingINC)

Miz asks fans if they’re done but they just give him more heat. He welcomes us to MizTV and says tonight we have a special Payback edition because his guest has a presence, an aura, and his much-anticipated return to RAW after WrestleMania 33 had the world talking. Miz tells the crowd to rise and help him welcome his guest. The music hits and out comes Finn Balor.

The music stops and fans chant for Finn. Miz asks them if they’re done and they boo him. Miz also asks Balor if he’s done because he just had a 5 minute entrance. Fans cheer Balor and Miz can’t believe they’re cheering a 5 minute entrance. A “yes!” chant breaks out. Miz mocks Finn’s entrance and asks what is it. Finn says this is Balor Club. Miz asks what it takes to be in the Balor Club and asks if he and Maryse could get in. Finn says that’s not up to him, it’s more of a club decision. He asks the fans and they boo. Maryse stands up and shows off for a pop. Balor still says nope. Miz takes his seat and talks about how he did a lot of homework on Balor. He talks about how Finn had so much promise before coming to WWE. Miz goes on and asks Balor if he feels like a failure when he looks at the last year he had. Balor runs off the list of injuries he suffered in the SummerSlam match to become the first-ever WWE Universal Champion. Miz says he was champion, for a whole 24 hours, and if that’s not a failure he doesn’t know what is. He says Balor and the fans relate because they’re all failures. Miz says Balor is too small and fights with his heart instead of fighting with his brain.

Miz says while Balor was gone, he was making SmackDown must-see TV and raising the Intercontinental Title. Miz mocks Balor some more and asks him what’s next. Balor says he’s going to get his title back. Miz reminds him the current champion is Brock Lesnar. Lesnar’s name gets boos. Miz says Lesnar will snap Balor in two, even Miz would mop the floor with Balor. This leads to Balor threatening to kick Miz’s ass. Balor stands up and readies for a fight. Miz puts Maryse in between them and fans boo. Cole calls Maryse a brave woman. Balor says every episode of MizTV ends the same way – with Miz getting his ass kicked. But today, Balor is going to be the bigger man because Miz isn’t worth it. The music hits and Balor goes to leave. Miz yells for the music to be cut because he runs the show. Miz says Balor is afraid Miz will put him out of action again. Balor nails a Slingblade out of nowhere. Balor dropkicks Miz back into the corner next. Miz rolls to the floor as Balor’s music hits.

The Bullet Club is one of the hottest acts in wrestling at the moment, and it sounds like Hulk Hogan has heard they’re interested in his services — because the wrestling legend says he wants to join.

Hogan appeared at a signing this weekend for Frank and Sons in Southern California’s City of Industry and an attendee asked Hulkster point blank if he’d ever join the BC.

Never shy about getting a payday … Hulk responded, “I would love to be in The Bullet Club. I’d love to be the OG for The Bullet Club.” Adding, “Teach dem boys how to really get corrupt!”

Earlier this year The Elite took part in YouTube Q&A and said Hulk Hogan and CM Punk are the only wrestlers left that they would probably let into the group.

Matt Hardy Says ‘DELETION Is Coming’, Offers Some ‘Broken Brilliance’

As we mentioned this morning, Reby Sky denied reports that WWE had purchased the rights to the Hardys “Broken” gimmick from Impact Wrestling. It should be noted that Jeff Hardy denied days before WrestleMania that they were headed to WWE anytime soon.

Matt Hardy has been tweeting nearly all of his messages lately in his “Broken” character. As of this writing, Impact Wrestling still has a Trademark logo on their YouTube channel next to any phrases pertaining to the gimmick, including “Broken Matt,” “Brother Nero” and “Broken Brilliance.”

Nonetheless, Hardy wrote on Twitter that “DELETION is coming,” as seen below:
