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.

so good to see DDP back!

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.

[Rappy Veteran]

Ryder won the Internet title in Australia!

it's an actual belt as well! :rofl:

[Valerus]

dang son, that Punk promo cut was sick.

[Rappy Veteran]

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."

Win! :p

[Rappy Veteran]

Win! :p

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

[MightyJordan]

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.

[Rappy Veteran]

Punk is still amazing :D

but apologising is lame :p

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 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.

You don't have to like him, but you should respect him. He does whatever is asked of him, and is basically tireless in his promotion of the WWE.

Yep. One of the main reasons why I like Cena.

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.

...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
