UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar spoke to ESPN.com this week and had some interesting things to say about his brush with death earlier this year, how UFC President Dana White compares to WWE boss Vince McMahon and whether he'd ever return to the wrestling promotion that put his name on the map.

Dana White vs. Vince McMahon: "If I had to say one thing about Vince [McMahon] it would be ruthless. If I had to say something about Dana [White] it would be diligent and somewhat brilliant. Two different approaches to business."

Guest Hosting WWE RAW: "I had a great run with WWE. WWE gave me great visibility, I met my wife there, and I got paid a lot of money, it was just my time to go. I sensed it. I was smart enough to leave. That's the bottom line... I wouldn't be opposed to [a one night only return to the WWE]. I'm still focused on my fighting right now, but if the opportunity arose some day, I'd never say never."

PWInsider.com is reporting that although WWE has announced that NXT will no longer air on SyFy when Smackdown joins the network this fall, it should be noted that the show/brand has been scrapped altogether. At this point, WWE has not yet decided to pull the plug on the NXT show and has in fact had preliminary discussions with Bravo about possibly airing the show on that network. Bravo, like USA and SyFy, is operated under the NBC umbrella. If all network negotiations fail, there is also the possibility that NXT could air on WWE.com.

WWE officials are reportedly looking to book golfer Tiger Woods to host the Jun. 7 Monday Night RAW taking place in Miami, Florida. However, few believe he will accept the offer.

The reports of WWE attempting to book Tiger Woods as guest host of RAW has garnered press amongst the golfing community as Golf Online published a story today concerning the reports.

Looks like tomorrow night's RAW is going to be heavily disrupted by the Ash Cloud of Doom over Europe (can I trademark that?) since most if not all RAW Superstars are currently in the UK I believe, and airspace is not expected to be opened up until tomorrow morning (around 6 AM EST I think) at the soonest.

According to some reports, Smackdown! stars may be on RAW (how's that for irony) with taped segments of RAW guys in UK studios etc.

WWE.com has announced that The Undertaker will appear live on tonight's Raw broadcast.

ProWrestling.net is reporting that the following Raw stars are still stuck in Belfast and will miss tonight's show: John Cena, Batista, Sheamus, Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, The Miz, Big Show, Bret Hart, MVP, Mark Henry, Christian, Chavo Guerrero, Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston, William Regal, Dos Caras Jr., Eve, Kelly Kelly and Maryse.

------------------------

but ... i wanna Bret Hart and Christian .... and Maryse, hubba hubba :blush:

We reported earlier that WWE issued a press release noting that Triple H will be starring in a new WWE Studios film titled "Killing Karma" which will begin shooting in the near future.

PWInsider.com is reporting that the lead role was initially supposed to go to Batista, however, WWE made the decision to replace him with Triple H. It's being said that when Batista learned that he was being replaced by HHH, he became furious over the news as acting is what he wants to focus his future on when he leaves wrestling.

"Batista wants to be a movie star," a source was noted as saying.

As we have reported in the past, Batista has been telling people that he does not intend to wrestle in WWE for too much longer, and that he might likely quit the business when his current deal expires. When this happens, he wants to focus mainly on acting.

--------

pfft, Batista, act? let's see, he's crap with a microphone, all he does is pound guys down and get hurt .... he'd make a good stunt man

As we reported earlier, tonight's Raw will feature the Smackdown and possibly NXT rosters appearing on the show as the Raw crew is still stranded in Belfast. The show is being broadcast live from East Rutherford, NJ and will be guest hosted by Will Forte, Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillipe who will be appearing in the upcoming film "Macgruber."

As always, WrestleZone will be providing complete, LIVE coverage of Raw beginning tonight at 9pm EST. So be sure to join us then for the most detailed and fastest Raw coverage on the internet!

NXT on Raw? ... Daniel Bryan vs. Undertaker ?!?

Due to the flight restrictions barring the Raw crew from flying into the states for tonight's show, WWE.com has announced on its webpage that tonight, "Smackdown Invaded Raw!" Because Triple H was NOT booked to appear on the European tour due to nagging injuries, he will be the only Raw star present at the tapings tonight. You can CLICK HERE for more details

This segment right here was enough to compensate for the rest of the show.

Could someone post a YouTube link to it, please? :)

Also, the guy on the left looks a lot like Stone Cold Steve Austin! :p

Jericho was hysterical in that segment, especially with MacGruber lol

I thought Jericho was gonna be MIA because of Jury duty? lulz

That Undertaker/Swagger match was great btw. - EDIT But that's two weeks in a ROW that Swagger, the NEW WHC has lost cleanly on RAW (Orton now Taker). What the HELL creative? I mean, seriously?

OK, just watched the Jericho segment. Not funny at all. :(

Really cool to see Lillian again last night! Just not the same without her doing the announcing!

Yeah, Lillian was a good announcer, but no one is better than Howard Finkel!

oh, I know you didn't just go there

According to a high level source within TNA, Jim Ross has had a meeting with TNA officials concerning the possibility of signing with the company.

I was informed that within the past week or so, Ross met with both TNA President Dixie Carter and Dean Broadhead, the CFO of TNA, and the two sides discussed the possibility of Jim Ross signing with TNA. I was told TNA has interest in bringing JR into the company as they are still in the process of trying to "shake things up" on TV.

It should be noted that this was just a meeting, and should not be taken to mean that Ross has signed, or is going to sign with TNA.

Currently, JR is still under contract with WWE, but the deal expires on April 30th.

WWE.com is reporting that the company is offering full refunds to fans who attended Raw tonight. For those who may have been dissatisfied with the fact that the Raw roster did not appear on the show, they have until this Friday at noon to claim their ticket refund.

After Raw went off the air last night, Triple H called out The Undertaker and challenged him to a match, saying there wasn't enough room for both of them on Raw. The two wrestled a short match until the Smackdown crew came out to attack both HHH and Undertaker. Both guys took out the Smackdown crew and Triple H hit his pedigree on all the guys and even the ref. He then turned around into a tombstone pile driver from Undertaker to end the show.

Also, on a funny note, maybe you couldn't tell on TV, but from the stands you could clearly see R-Truth exit the entrance ramp when the Macgruber explosion took place.

Well at least Shelton can go to TNA now (like some of his buds have been literally begging him to do lol) and do something there.

Bad part: no more Gold Standard in MitB matches :(

just reading Angle wants Team Angle back (Haas and Benjamin) so now that can happen.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
