PWInsider.com is reporting that the reason The Undertaker is back on Raw this coming week, as well as an earlier return for Brock Lesnar, is dealt specifically with the loss of CM Punk.

The original plan for CM Punk was for him to come out after Wrestlemania 29 and complain about his loss to The Undertaker. This would follow up with him walking out on the company. The final decision to hold him off was because the post-Wrestlemania crowd would have most likely cheered him, which is something WWE did not want. Another reason is that CM Punk was very upset with the wording of his promo, which caused some frustration.

About three weeks ago, CM Punk had a massive argument with the top WWE creative officials and was considering quitting the company. Obviously, they worked out their differences and CM Punk was able to work TV show and Wrestlemania. This was also another reason why he was taken off of live events, along with his body being banged up.

There is no set timetable for his return, but it looks like WWE will hold him off until late Summer, potentially leading up to Summerslam in August.

At Monday's RAW from Greenville, South Carolina, a fan reportedly held up a "RAW Is Generico" sign and was moved by security, taken from his paid seat to the opposite side of the arena and a seat filler took his seat at ringside. The fan asked security why he was being moved and was told the people running the show didn't want him sitting there because of his sign.

The fan reportedly asked if they could just take the sign and let him sit at ringside but was told by a security guard that he was about to be kicked out because the people running the show, presumably WWE officials, didn't want him there. Another guard told the fan that wasn't correct, they just didn't want him in front of the camera. Apparently another man who was sitting with the fan also had his seats changed after he was seen holding up a sign related to Ring of Honor.

Standing alongside Florida Gov. Rick Scott, WWE COO Triple H announced the establishment of a state-of-the-art WWE Performance Center on Thursday. The 26,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to open in Orlando this summer, will provide a new home for WWE?s developmental system, NXT, and further increases the company?s presence in the Sunshine State, while also creating more than 100 high-wage jobs.

The top-line facility will house seven wrestling rings, a world-class gym, and high-tech production and edit suites that will help evolve WWE?s partnership with Full Sail University, whose students exclusively edit and produce weekly, internationally-broadcast installments of WWE NXT at the university?s Full Sail Live facility. The center will also offer a best-in-class sports medicine program that effectively turns the performance center into a home base of sorts for both active and developmental WWE talent to receive care.

Cool, Botchamania content. Nice way to copy PRIDE, guys.

WCW, actually. They did it back in 1991 (it was known as the Refer-eye Cam). Back then, the refs wore helmets with cameras on them. I'm guessing this time around, it'll be tiny cameras placed on the refs' shirts. Well, we can only hope...

I hope its unedited going to be funny when you hear the wrestlers tell each other what move is coming next

Nah, there probably won't be any audio from the ref cam; just hear the normal action.

Oh, and speaking of calling spots, that's missing from that Cena picture. ;) Whenever Botchamania does the "Everybody Talks Too Much" segment, Cena shows up on most of them. :p

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
