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.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
