WWE Superstar Paige underwent neck surgery on Wednesday.
She revealed on Twitter that the surgery was done by Dr. Juan Uribe in Tampa, the same doctor that performed neck surgery on Tyson Kidd. Paige tweeted the following thanks to fiance Alberto Del Rio, Natalya, the doctor and The Bella Twins:
As noted, Hideo Itami was pulled from the WWE NXT Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic due to a neck injury he suffered a few weeks back. Word is that Itami will be out of action for just two months, indicating he does not need surgery. He could have been out of action for more than 6 months with surgery.

There’s a lot of speculation on The Undertaker’s status for WrestleMania 33 as he reportedly underwent surgery recently.
WrestlingINC recently posted photos of Taker on crutches, seen below, and PWInsider reports that The Deadman was using those crutches to walk because he recently had hip surgery.
No word yet on exactly when Taker had the surgery but he apparently attended a wedding the first week of September and did not have the crutches, also seen below.

As noted, RAW General Manager Mick Foley edited his Facebook announcement on Charlotte vs. RAW Women’s Champion Sasha Banks being the main event of the October 30th Hell In a Cell pay-per-view, now saying the match will be “a main event” and that he doesn’t know what the official main event will be yet. Foley elaborated in the comments section of the Facebook post, seen here:
“The match order for #HIAC Will probably not be finalized until hours before the actual show, so each member of the WWE Universe can decide for themselves what their main event is. Regardless of where the women’s match is placed on the card, both Sasha and Charlotte should absolutely feel like they are the main event – as should Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins. It’s a competitive business, and that competitive spirit should bring out the best in everyone on October 30th.”

Foley posted the following on Facebook:
CHILLS
Forget for a moment about Stephanie McMahon’s jumping high-five or my awkward attempt to hug the #RAW Comissioner. The biggest moment of the night for us came when the #WWE cameras were off, and Stephanie and I just looked at the #HIAC poster, realizing that for #WomensWrestling, history is upon us – as Sasha Banks and Charlotte will main event the #HIAC PPV. I am so happy for Sasha, for Charlotte, for all the women who paved the way, and all those who aspire to follow in their footsteps. It is no exaggeration to say that looking at that poster gave me chills…and they were multiplying.
Goldberg made his return to WWE RAW last night for the first time in 12 years to accept a challenge made by Paul Heyman on behalf of Brock Lesnar for a fight anyplace and anytime.
Goldberg said he has one fight left in him and said not only is Lesnar next but he’s last.
At least two indie promoters trying to book former WWE Superstar The Boogeyman have reportedly been told that he is unable to take the bookings due to an upcoming WWE return. One promoter was trying to book Boogey for December and the other was inquiring about a January date. It should be noted that the return has not been confirmed but we will keep you updated.
Boogey, who has made appearances on WWE Swerved and in online video content for the company, signed a WWE Legends deal back in November of 2015. He continues to work indies and debuted for Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion back in March of this year.

WWE has recently been surveying fans about possible changes, and additions to the WWE Network. As we’ve previously noted, one previous survey displayed a multi-tier pricing system that would provide a subscriber with certain access, depending on which pricing tier they have chosen. That same survey also gauged interest level in “independent wrestling content, such as TNA and Ring of Honor.”
Another survey has recently been released, once again addressing the possibility of future changes and additions to the WWE Network. Some of those possibilities included superstar meet-and-greets, rewards for year-long subscriptions, and more.
Below is a list of ideas proposed in the survey:
– Receiving a “crate” of WWE merchandise for subscribing for a year’s worth of the WWE Network at once.- Receiving a free month of the WWE Network by referring it to friends and family who sign up for three months.
– Receiving discounts on the Network price if you pay for a year in advance.
– Having the ability to stream the Network on four devices at once.
– Free shipping of WWEShop orders.
– Having a “family” plan to stream it in different locations.
– The ability to download material onto devices to watch while offline.
– The ability to play WWE-themed games on the Network app.
– Closed captioning of live events in other languages.
– Be part of a test group to give feedback on new games, merchandise and Network programming.
– Be entered into raffles automatically for trips to major WWE events and similar contests.
– Subscriber exclusive meet and greets with WWE talents.
– Exclusive chats with WWE talents where you would be able to ask talents questions.
– Creating and sharing video playlists with friends and family.
– Exclusive Network content including previews and behind the scenes content.
– Exclusive second screen content during WWE programming exclusively for subscribers.
– Getting 3 months of Starz with a 3 month subscription to the WWE Network.
– Voting on the WWE Hall of Fame inductees.
– Specified video suggestions based on talent searches.
– Greater ability to bookmark and play specific matches in events, as opposed to just playing an event from the start.
Like with previous surveys, it’s unclear if WWE will actually apply any of these ideas. For now, it just appears that WWE is searching for fan feedback.
