when he was getting beat down by Sandow he looked like he couldnt even move his arm, then half way through the match it seemed better even though sandow was still working on his arm. Normally an injured guy fighting with 1 good arm isn't going to beat someone who's fresh.

 

Ok. That explanation is better. Your first one kind of made it seem like you thought Cena was actually injured and couldn't work.

No No No.. my bad on that i should have clarified a little better. Either way i'm having a hard time trying to figure out why they would waste Sandow's MITB like that...unless they really think he's not WHC Material

He put in an awesome match. Maybe they don't think he's ready, but giving him a shot at Cena isn't a real waste. He's world better than Alberto Dorito.

Speaking of which...

 

AJ Styles will reportedly be defending the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for AAA's November 3rd event. AAA booker Dorian Rolden announced that Styles came to them about wrestling for the upcoming event.

 
The show is taking place at El Domo del Parque Solidaridad, Tonal?, Jalisco, Mexico. An opponent for AJ Styles should be announced soon.

See, WWE? That is how you do that storyline! Styles is reportedly heading to Japan too to defend the title in Keiji Mutoh's new promotion Wrestle-1.

 

And some good news for TNA...

 

Dave Meltzer is reporting that Eric Bischoff is all but gone from TNA, in terms of involvement and power within the company. Meltzer revealed on his Wrestling Observer radio show this week that Bischoff remains under contract with the company and will continue getting paid until it expires early next year, but that's where their relationship ends. 

 
Additionally, Meltzer says that there's many people within TNA that are glad Bischoff is done with the company.

 

"He wasn't at the PPV..wasn't at the last TV..won't be around," Meltzer stated. "A lot of people are really happy on that one. Eric was never very well liked?Eric was very lucky that he had some very smart people propping him up in the WCW Days and those people aren't there now, and he got exposed on this run real bad."

WrestleZone reached out to Eric Bischoff directly for comment, but have yet to receive a response at the time of this writing being published. We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

 

Hogan's also been removed from TNA's roster page, so for now, the wish is reality: Hogan and Bischoff are gone from TNA!

According to PWInsider.com, Paul Heyman's WWE TV status is currently in question as WWE decided to end his feud with CM Punk at Hell in a Cell this past Sunday. Original creative plans called for the feud to continue into December, but the decision was made to end it early, and there is doubt as to whether or not Heyman will continue to work alongside Ryback.

 
Reports surfaced last week that backstage heat on Ryback might be the reason why Heyman and Ryback are no longer being paired up, however WZ exclusively reported earlier this week the backstage heat on Ryback appears to be fabricated by someone close to the situation. Although he was backstage at Raw this week, it's being said at this time that Paul Heyman might not be back on WWE TV until Brock Lesnar returns.

Despite losing the match, Damien Sandow received high praise backstage for his World Heavyweight Championship match with John Cena on Raw Monday. F4WOnline.com is reporting that Vince McMahon made the decision to have Sandow cash in his Money in the Bank contract on Monday to compete with the heavy competition of MLB and the NFL.

WWE?s contracts with the USA Network which airs RAW, and Syfy which airs SmackDown, are expiring within a year ? putting the corporation in a brilliant position to negotiate a better deal, which sits at around $140 million a year.

Though SmackDown expires in the spring and RAW expires next fall, talks are well underway with parent company NBC Universal.

Analyst Chris Bevilcqua told Forbes Sports Money that NBC could renew the partnership at four to six times more than the current deal, and that besides the NFL and NBA, in terms of pure numbers WWE is one of the most sought after brands in TV licensing. He even suggested they could top NASCAR?s recent deal of $4.5 billion over ten years!

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
