Source: WrestlingINC
While Triple H indicated in this week’s media call that he’s not sure how the upcoming WWE Draft and Brand Extension will change WWE NXT, Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that people involved have been told that “NXT is being raided for the Draft big time.” More details are expected to be revealed soon.
It appears future WWE pay-per-view events will be going past 11pm and not just WrestleMania. WWE has told Sky Italia to start reserving extra time for pay-per-view events as the duration of those shows will vary.
WWE Hall Of Famer Managing New Tag Team In WWE NXT After Angle At Takeover (Photos, Video)
As noted, American Alpha (Chad Gable & Jason Jordan) lost the NXT Tag Team Champions to The Revival (Dash & Dawson) at NXT Takeover: The End last night.
After the match, American Alpha were attacked and left laying by “The Authors of Pain” Sunny Dhinsa and Gzim Selmani, who have been working NXT live events for several months now.
It appears Selmani and Dhinsa will be managed by WWE Hall of Famer Paul Ellering, who is known for managing The Road Warriors years ago.

Woman Pulls Gun On Wrestler At Indy Show
Source: WrestlingINC
Patricia Anne Crowe, 59, was arrested this past Saturday on charges of aggravated assault and reckless conduct after holding independent wrestler Paul Lee at gunpoint at an AWF show in Ringgold, GA.
The ruckus started when Lee tied another wrestler in the ropes and was hitting him with a chair. Crowe then ran to the ring with a knife to try and help the wrestler escape.
“She was reaching through the ring, cutting him loose,” Lee told WRCB.
Lee told her to “sit her toothless self down,” at which point Crowe drew a 38-caliber handgun at Lee and his manager.
“Ms. Crowe did indeed pull the gun on Mr. Lee because of the way he’d talked to her,” police Cpl. Chris Faulk told The Catoosa County News. “She said, ‘he was talking mean to me, and I got mad. I guess I just let my temper get the best of me and I pulled my pistol on him’.”
Lee was able to take the weapon and hold Crowe until police arrived. Crowe was arrested and released from the Catoosa County Jail on Monday after posting a $4,000 bond.
“The sheriff’s office called me to let me know they let her out Monday on a $4,000 bond,” Lee told The Catoosa County News. “I think it should have been a higher bond than that. She pulled a gun on me in front of kids and everything….it was just crazy.”
Lee said that additional security will be added to the arena, including installing metal detectors at the entrances.
Crowe has been banned from all future AWF wrestling events.

Luke Harper Lands Horror-Action Movie Role
Source: The Wrap
The Wrap reports that Luke Harper has been cast in new horror-action movie titled Mohawk.
“Hemlock Grove” actress Kaniehtiio Horn and “Twilight” star Justin Rain will also star
WWE star Luke Harper has been cast in the horror movie “Mohawk,” directed by Ted Geoghegan.
Dark Sky Films and Snowfort Pictures will reteam on the project following the last fright flick that they made with Geoghegan, “We Are Still Here.”
Along with Harper — whose real name is Jon Huber — “Hemlock Grove” actress Kaniehtiio Horn, who is Mohawk herself, will also star in the film. “Twilight’s” Justin Rain, “Looper” star Noah Segan, Ian Colletti, Robert Longstreet, Sheri Foster, Ezra Buzzington and Andrew Sensenig will costar.
“Mohawk” is a horror and action tale. After one of her tribes sets an American soldiers’ camp on fire, a young female Mohawk finds herself in a cat-and-mouse chase. She flees deep into the woods where she confronts Colonel Holt and his soldiers. As American soldiers seem to close in on her and Mohawk youths Oak and Calvin, they must use both real and supernatural resources to fight back.
“Mohawk is hard-hitting action-horror that subverts traditional genre tropes while delivering a timeless tale of good versus evil,” Geoghegan said. “We look to deliver a horrifying home invasion film where the home is North America itself.”
Travis Stevens, Greg Newman and Grady Hendrix will produce.
Harper has been on hiatus from the WWE ring after he suffered an injury in March.
Principal photography began on Tuesday in upstate New York.
UFC Lifts Ban On MMA Journalist

The UFC reinstated the media credentials of MMA Fighting and Ariel Helwani Monday night after being removed from UFC 199 and subsequently ‘banned for life.’
UFC’s statement is below:
“Following a conversation with the editorial team at SB Nation, UFC will not prevent MMAFighting.com from receiving media credentials to cover live UFC events. We respect the role the media plays in our sport and beyond, including MMAFighting’s ability to report news. However, in our opinion, we believe the recurring tactics used by its lead reporter extended beyond the purpose of journalism. We feel confident our position has now been adequately communicated to the SB Nation editorial team.
UFC’s goal as the world’s leading mixed martial arts promotion is to cultivate interest in its world-class athletes and events, and deliver for the fans. We will continue to introduce this sport and its athletes to new fans across the world, and we will do so by working alongside media across all platforms.”
WWE Trying To Get Ronda Rousey For WrestleMania 33?

As if CM Punk, Brock Lesnar and potentially Paige VanZant weren’t enough for potential UFC and WWE crossovers, it appears as if the WWE is hoping to land Ronda Rousey for next year’s WrestleMania 33 event.
According to a report by Forbes, the WWE is looking to angle the Brock Lesnar UFC fight to potentially get Rousey on WrestleMania. As you may remember, Ronda Rousey participated in WrestleMania 31, working an angle with Stephanie McMahon, Triple H and the Rock.
As we mentioned earlier, the WWE is also hoping to get UFC stars to appear at Summerslam.
