According to Wrestling Inc this morning hactivist group Anonymous uncovered information today about other upcoming attacks planned by ISIS, following their attacks last week in Paris, France that left 130 people dead.

The only US target listed was this Sunday’s WWE Survivor series from Alanta.

WWE officials had this to say about the potential threat” WWE Survivor Series is currently scheduled as planned while we investigate the matter with federal, state and local authorities.”
It should be noted that although there were threats found the event isn’t 100% confirmed

However The local CBS affiliate in Atlanta reports that the FBI is taking the threat very seriously. They issued this statement to Action 2 News:
“The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that includes an Atlanta, Georgia venue and event. While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific or credible information of an attack at this time. We have, however, made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to keep our community safe.”

They are staying very close to the situation. There’s also a possibility that survivor series may be rescheduled. More updates to come

Breaking News:Seth Rollins injured new champion to be crowned at Survivor Series

WWE.com has reported WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has torn his right ACL, MCL and medial meniscus, and will not be able to defend the title against Roman Reigns at Survivor Series. A tournament to determine a new champion will instead take place at the event.

As first reported on Twitter by ESPN, Rollins suffered the injury last night at a WWE Live Event in Dublin, Ireland, and is expected to miss six to nine months of action.

Details surrounding the Survivor Series tournament have not been finalized. The event takes place Sunday, Nov. 22, and will air live only on WWE Network.

A little help goes along way

So I know this may not be wrestling or MMA related at all but I figure since DTRT stands for “do the right thing” I thought I would share anyway

so I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful soul (Nicole)in February of last year and her story touched me because it’s very similar to mine. Her mom lost her battle to cancer. Little has inspired me and given me hope. ALL that I’m asking is that you take 7 mins out of your day and watch this video and if you would like to donate you can send payments via PayPal at switchlittle@gmail.com even if you can’t donate sharing the video is help in itself

Thanks guys and God Bless
