Rusev Possibly Injured

Rusev appeared to suffer some type of arm injury at last night’s WWE Main Event match against Neville at the TV tapings in Phoenix, Arizona.

According to PWInsider, word is backstage that Rusev is believed to have suffered a torn bicep. There is no confirmation as of yet of the severity of the injury, but it was bad enough to stop the match.

In regards to Rusev’s post-match tantrum, that may have been done to make up some of the TV time they lost when the match had to be cut short.

Ronda Rousey Says She Wants To Be WWE Divas Champion

UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey mentioned at yesterday’s UFC 193 media event that she wants to become WWE Divas Champion at sometime.

“What I would love to do, I got an Olympic medal, I would want to retire from MMA as one of the greatest of all time, I would love to have the chance to be boxing world champion, and I would love to have the chance to be a jiu-jitsu world champion. I’d love to have the chance to be the Divas world champion and just be the best of everything at one point.” Rousey said. “How that is possible to do, I’m going  to have to figure that one out. I think if anybody’s capable, I think that I am. I think it’s just a matter of prioritizing and timing and figuring out when I can do which, when. I’m figuring it out. I’d love to, but it’s a process.”

WWE Divas Champion Charlotte responded to Rousey’s comments on Twitter:

The Undertaker At Survivor Series?

WWE is advertising The Undertaker for their Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 22nd. It appears that Undertaker will face The Wyatt Family in a traditional Survivor Series match. There is no word on who his partners will be. Maybe we will find out more tonight on RAW.

If I had to guess on who will team with Undertaker to take on The Wyatt Family at Survivor Series, it would be Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. The 4th could possibly be Kane. I do believe Undertaker & Kane did face Luke Harper & Braun Strowman on WWE’s recent tour of Mexico. I don’t know about Randy Orton since he is currently out with a shoulder injury.

WWE Interview With “Cowboy” James Storm: What Led Him To NXT, Backstage Reaction, When Will He Be Back

Former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, “Cowboy” James Storm spoke to WWE.com after he made his NXT debut. Below is some highlights from the interview:

WWE.com – Can you walk us through how the conversation of you coming to NXT began?

James Storm – “It came about because I’m good friends with road Dogg and Billy Gunn. They put it in Triple H’s ear that I was free and clear of all contracts, to see if there’s some interest there. I actually called Road Dogg to see if it was OK that I went up to the NXT Nashville show not too long ago. He said, ‘Yeah, just try to stay out of sight.’ So, I stayed in the locker room. There were reports that I was sitting in the front row at an NXT show, and I didn’t deny that I was there. I just said, ‘I saw the reports and I’m sorry, but that was not me sitting in the front row.’ [Laughs.]

Then, [WWE Performance Center Head Coach] Matt Bloom pulled me aside and asked if I was available to come down that Wednesday and Thursday to Orlando. I went down and talked to Triple H at the NXT TakeOver: Respect special. Then the next night, he asked if I was willing to appear, and I said yes.”

WWE.com – What were you thinking as you walked into the NXT locker room in Nashville that first day?

Storm – “I really didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t know if these guys were looking at me, going, ‘Here’s a guy coming in, trying to take my job.’ Basically, that’s what I’m doing. I’m trying to find a spot. i learned a long time ago that you don’t have to worry about your spot if you’re doing your job right. But all the guys were so cool. All of them came up to me; a couple of them made me feel kinda of old, like, ‘Hey, I used to watch you 10 years ago.’ [Laughs.] But nobody said a negative word or gave me a dirty look, or anything like that. Everybody was super-cool and actually welcoming me in with open arms.”

WWE.com – The million-dollar question: When will we see you back in NXT or even WWE?

Storm – “That’s the million-dollar question. That’s not really up to me. My job is to go out and get myself over, as they say. And it’s up to what we call ‘the suits’ to make the decision of whether to bring me back to NXT or the WWE main roster. I got so many people all the time saying, ‘We want to see you and Bray Wyatt go at it on the microphone.’ I always say that you never know what’s going to happen in wrestling. And I just take one day at a time.”
