Just to reiterate something from an earlier report, the Lesnar/Heyman WWE talks do not involve a TV return for either man. It's been described as a "business deal". That probally means another DVD/Movie project or something behind the scenes.

As for Colt Cabana possibly returning to WWE, if CM Punk doesn't re-sign, Cabana likely doesn't return.

very interesting timing!

According to a WWE source, Triple H and Sin Cara recently had a long backstage conversation where "H" told Cara to come to him if he had any problems or if there was anyone on the roster that he wanted to work with. The source notes that Triple H has basically taken Sin Cara under his wing.

Several WWE talents are against the idea of working against Sin Cara due to the lighting WWE features during his matches.

Vince has shown he doesn't want to listen to the fans by keeping Ryder on Superstars even after all those chants/signs and how he 'ribbed' him.

Even though the WWE is basically stealing (and ruining) the gags Ryder does by repeating them with that jobber from NXT on Smackdown. 'Cut the mustard'? 'Drawing himself in a corner'? Those don't even make sense in this context. I want someone to explain why they are using that loser and not Ryder in those spots.

I wonder what happens tonight or do WWE just **** it over

actually he does return...what a pointless waste of time that was revealing that last monday

Yeah, I can't believe they actually recorded an episode of RAW for the next week, especially straight after a usual live episode. That's a bloody TNA move. (N)

Oh, speaking of bad moves: New episode of Botchamania! :)

TMZ.com posted footage of Punk shouting at fans. Midway through the promo, Punk shouted to a fan, "You homo!"

He continued, "I guess you're right, that's why I'm picking on you two jerks right now. You have a vagina. You have a vagina. Nice faux hawk, you homo! Yeah, I want you to come over the rail so I can twist you and turn you inside out."

TMZ notes that WWE is working with GLAAD and produced a series of anti-bullying commercials following incidents involving Michael Cole and John Cena. The website adds that calls to WWE and GLAAD regarding Punk's promo were not returned.

UPDATE: A rep for WWE said, "WWE does not condone this type of language or bias and we reinforce that with our talent who are independent contractors."

yeah WWE are playing this well!, this was probably part of the angle!

Ooh, now that I would find hard to believe. If that really ended up being the case, then whoever came up with that angle is a bloody genius. :p

yeah but if you look at the Michael Cole stuff he said something about gay people on twitter and that was part his "hate michael cole" angle

CM Punk's tweeted about that incident...

I'm glad TMZ posted that video because everybody needs to be held accountable for their bulls**t, me included. What I said was bulls**t...

...I'm embarrassed. I own up to being a total douche in this situation and I offer a sincere apology to anybody I hurt with careless words.

Well, Cena cut a good promo with Vince at the end there. I'm starting to respect him a bit now. (Y)

I'm still waiting to see how this pans out. I'm still wondering what they'll do if they've booked CM Punk to win the title. I can only imagine they've set up a special deal with another promotion, but I doubt it's gonna happen, because the usual sites would have found out about it ages ago otherwise.

I can only imagine they've set up a special deal with another promotion, but I doubt it's gonna happen, because the usual sites would have found out about it ages ago otherwise.

I think at this point it's pretty obvious to most wrestling fans like us that this is a worked shoot, and that Punk has either resigned with WWE or will resign with WWE shortly. I also think Punk is being given the title at MitB (whether he shows up in RoH or something is another story) and that Cena will be "fired". Rumor has it that Cena has aquired a laundry list of injuries over the years that are still niggling him and he needs to take some time off, this would be the perfect time to do that it seems. Also, since they have him booked with The Rock at WM next year they don't really want to take a chance that he's seriously injured and they can't do that match.

And the internet sites don't always find out about things in advance. I'm sure it's possible if the storyline was kept within the inner circle of the McMahon family and Cena and Punk it would stay pretty secret.

Prediction / thoughts:

1) Cena needs some time off, it's known he's kinda banged up right now.

2) RoH's relationship with TNA has soured as of late.

3) WWE have very much been looking into the attraction of smaller promotions.

I reckon Cena will lose to CM. CM will hold the title and appear on RoH with it. Let's be honest, Vince loves the "Invasion" style angles.

that would be awesome tbh! take it to different promotions...he mentioned ROH and NJPW so obviously VKM has already spoken to them about an angle...also not forgetting ROH has a TV deal now

OK, so Rappy has officially announced he is to take a one year break from posting on Neowin now that he's reached 80,000 posts.

post-15395-0-14755100-1310263840.gif

...so now it's up to us to fill in the gap here! :p I'll start off...

So, one week until Money in the Bank. What's everyone predictions? :)

Also, I just looked on NoDQ, and spotted this hip-hop song using Goldust's theme. Who wants to bet if he used this as his theme, he'd be a world champion? :p

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.

      Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior.

You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience.

Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
