Official statement from WWE:

During last night?s Raw televised event, WWE Superstar CM Punk exited the ring into the stands as part of the show. WWE security was unfortunately not in the appropriate place at the time. Given CM Punk?s persona as a ?bad guy,? fans were naturally heckling him, but unfortunately a few fans began shoving him and one struck in him in the kidney and on the back. WWE regrets that proper security measures were not in place, and CM Punk apologizes for reacting in the heat of the moment. Other than this isolated incident, WWE always provides proper security to ensure the safety of our fans and our performers.

And a comment from CM Punk:

I think the whole situation sucks. It?s an unfortunate and isolated incident. I was up in the stands, surrounded. Somebody said, ?let?s push him down the stairs.? I got hit in the ribs three times. I was getting shoved and I was getting punched?Then I started getting tagged in the back of the head. Unfortunately, I lashed out in the heat of the moment and I apologize. I?m really just glad nobody was hurt.

And a tweet from CBS reporter Laura Cole who reported on the story and interviewed Charles Schmidt (the fan who Punk hit):

From WrestleZone's Justin LaBar

It was reported on TMZ that Shelly Ehler was upset at Alberto Del Rio for ripping her 8-year-old's sign up and then mocking her son crying.

I spoke to Ehler in an exclusive interview recorded for Wrestling Reality on TribLIVE Radio and she revealed TNA President Dixie Carter personally called her today.

Carter said she was sad to read about her WWE experience and offered Ehler's family VIP passes to Bound For Glory in Phoenix, AZ.

Ehler said Carter explained TNA's wrestlers would never act that way. She encouraged them to come meet Hulk Hogan and all the wrestlers on behalf of TNA.

The full 12 minute conversation between Ehler and I will be released tomorrow. During the interview the following topics are covered...

- Her detailed account of the incident with Alberto Del Rio

- Sheamus reaching out to her through Direct Message on Twitter

- She asks me if I feel Del Rio acted like a bully

- If she'll ever bring her son back to a WWE show

- How TMZ got a hold of the story

- Dixie Carter's conversation with her

I'm hoping she actually accepts Dixie's offer, as I'd love to see how TNA will try to capitalise on this! :laugh:

And a bit of a biggie from PWInsider...

A number of top talents have approached Vince McMahon in recent weeks...

One of the top talents had a verbal back and forth with McMahon in front of everyone. In this exchange, the talent basically told Vince the writing sucks and that McMahon doesn't have his finger on the pulse of things anymore.

...The talent told him he needs to start listening to people around him...saying when WWE goes to "hell in a handbasket," it will be all Vince's fault.

Guessing time: Who do you think it was? I'm gonna go down the obvious route and say CM Punk.

Former WWE Diva, Ashley Massaro, took to Twitter yesterday stating she was taken off this Thursday's BLOW event in New Jersey. BLOW is a brand new all-women's promotion, owned and operated by the same people behind Pro Wrestling Syndicate.

Massaro said it was unprofessional of PWS to leave her on the promotional flyer for the event "until a week before". She also encouraged fans to reach out to PWS and demand a refund if they purchased due to her promoted appearance.

I reached out to both parties via Twitter and text message for statements. I have yet to receive word from Massaro or anyone related, but Eric Tapout (co-owner) sent the following statement on behalf of PWS/BLOW:

"Ashley Massaro was booked on PWS' 9/14 event. Her booking entailed valeting The Big O, doing a 50/50 gimmick split for 2 hours before show, and during intermission. Ashley was paid full upon arrival.

Her boyfriend instructed the person operating the autograph table that Ashley was to receive the first $500 collected, in addition to the flat fee she received. This was not per her agreement.

Ashley refused to sign any extra photos. She did valet The Big O, then skipped out before intermission without notifying anyone at PWS."

Massaro said in her explanation on Twitter that she wasn't feeling very well, but still stayed for both of her signings with The Big O before leaving. She also stated that she could not find the promoters anywhere to inform them she was leaving.

Tapout continues: "Several days later, at 3am legit, Ashley's boyfriend (Nick, who is also her manager) texted me saying we 'needed to talk'. Reason he gave was, 'It was unfair that dude at the door collected $20 admission and Ashley didn't get a cut because she's the crowd getter'.

I responded with, 'You do understand there were a dozen ex-WWE names on the show, Mr. Belding, and a ton of smart mark wrestlers, right?'

Her boyfriend responded with, 'Nah, they come to see Ash'.

After a discussion with my partner, Pat Buck, the decision was reached to remove Ashley from our 10/11 Bombshell Ladies of Wrestling (BLOW) event. Ashley has since picked up a booking at NYC Comic Con, so honestly, it was a win-win for both of us.

I was appalled that she was ranting on Twitter about the situation without being honest."

WrestleZone.com's Bill Pritchard was in attendance and thinks it was shortly after the second match(the match she accompanied Big O to the ring), no longer, that Massaro was around before leaving, but her departure time is unconfirmed.

In the purely speculative column, the word going around the locker room is that Massaro might have been nervous and left early due to Reby Sky (Matt Hardy's girlfriend) being there. Some are claiming Massaro might have been worried Sky would approach her regarding things Ashley said about her in the past. That clearly hasn't been confirmed by Massaro, and Reby Sky has not commented on the situation either.

Eric Tapout did add that any fan wanting a refund because Ashley Massaro will not be on the card can make a request through www.prowrestlingsyndicate.com, and they'll be happy to return your money.

Looks like she's gonna turn into yet another Tammy Sytch. Speaking of which...

Personally, the "top talent" that went back and forth with Vince recently, I think it was Cena. Say what you will about his character (and lord knows I've said this countless times online, and in this thread probably) but he LOVES the wrestling business. I mean come on, he knows his character is stale and creative hasn't really given him (or anyone else really) anything great to work with in (years) a long time. Sure he personally has said he doesn't want to be a heel because of the kids (which he truly gives a damn about, so don't knock him for that please!) but I'm sure over the years now he's come to creative and said "Hey, let's do this with my character, it's just a tweak but I think it'll go over great with the crowds" and they've just said "NO NEED MORE TSHIRT SALES FIRST".

If it wasn't Cena, my guess is it was either Punk (since he has the balls to talk right up in Vince's grill and all) or Big Show. Possibly Sheamus. But I don't know if he'd take the chance personally to do that at this point in his career.

      I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
