Found a fan account of the CM Punk fan incident saying that the fan was repeatedly shoving him in the head beforehand.

At least the writers will have something extra to push Punk as a heel (if they're smart enough to do that, that is).

In case anyone here hasn't read, there's been a little shakeup in the creative team. Brian Gewirtz got removed from his position as senior vice-president of creative writing after more than 10 years earlier this month. His replacement is Eric Pankowski.

Vince has been reported as saying that he wants "results or resignations", so a lot of the creative team are fearing for their jobs right now.

Honestly if Vince doesn't put Paul Heyman on the creative team (even in a cursory role) than he really has lost total touch with wrestling and reality. I mean. Heyman helped out on the storylines in WWE 13' after all, why is that OK but TV is not?

From PWInsider:

In what I am told was a "scary scene" backstage at Raw about an hour ago, Vince McMahon pretty much told the WWE Creative team that he wanted to see things change and that no one's job was safe if they didn't.

Perhaps to illustrate his point, Bryan Gewirtz, who has been the top writer for the company for a long time and especially oversaw the Raw side of things (Dave Kapoor wrote the show but everything went through Gewirtz, then Stephanie and Vince McMahon), has been dropped from the creative team.

Also, why in the hell did they split Aksana and Cesaro up? Stupid. Not like they have other plans for her.

I don't know if it's just me, but I thought Aksana was holding him back. I like his current state, where he tends to let his actions do most of the talking. Now if the Swiss Death became a second finisher of his, that'd be even better. :)

Reporter Laura Cole posting the following update on the CM Punk fan incident from Raw on Twitter:

"Just talked to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department about the alleged incident involving a fan and @CMPUNK. The Department says they took a report about the alleged incident involving @CMPunk. They say the fan complained of knee pain. The Department says they will look at the alleged incident to determine whether to forward the findings to the District Attorney's Office. I only had a few minutes with the fan involved with the alleged incident before Deputies needed to speak with him for a second time. As of last night, that fan DID NOT say whether he would consider filing charges. I didn't get the chance to ask him that question."

Oh god, here we go...

TMZ is reporting Shelly Ehler took her 8-year-old son to a WWE live event and he left in tears.

Her son had a sign for Sheamus, who was taking on Alberto Del Rio that night, and Del Rio ripped his sign.

Ehler said her son was instantly terrified of Del Rio's actions and she called Del Rio a bully.

Del Rio would go on to mock her son crying.

Ehler wrote an angry letter to WWE officials and says, '"Take signs from adults NOT KIDS! My son was bullied by your superstars and it is not okay."

Ehler goes on to say Ricardo Rodriguez mocked her on Twitter but Sheamus offered to send her son a signed photo and meet him next time he's in town.

There's a video of the "incident" at TMZ

And this is RR's "mocking" tweet...

oh god that's part and parcel of making a sign and sitting front row tbh :/

I get the feeling the mother is trying to claw more fame, as TMZ says she was on "Shark Tank" (which is the American version of "Dragon's Den").

I bet they have that fan on Raw next week and Punk has to apologise to him or something...that's something Vince would love to do :p

Shark Tank isn't really for fame, TBH.

what's the chances do you think of Ryback vs Punk and Cena as ref? so not to risk his injury

I don't know. How do you keep the belt on Punk and not have Ryback lose in HiaC? Thats why I think its going to be a triple threat and end with Punk pinning Cena after Ryback gives him a finisher or three.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
