<span style="background-color: white;">On social media this past Sunday night, mostly Twitter, there were some rumors being spread around that claimed former WWE Superstar CM Punk had been arrested. We have no idea where they began and never reported it here.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 18px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The rumors got out of control enough to the point that Punk actually commented on them. When a fan on Twitter asked Punk why people were saying he got arrested, Punk jokingly replied with the following:</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Vince McMahon and Triple H have reportedly been disagreeing a lot lately over who Brock Lesnar will fight at WrestleMania 31. Triple H wants Lesnar to face Roman Reigns while McMahon wants Lesnar to face The Rock if he’s available.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 18px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Sources claim that Vince has a tendency to undercut Triple H and make him look bad. This could be just a “good cop/bad cop” mentality where Triple H plays the “good cop” to the talent.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 18px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Despite the disagreements, there are no hard feelings between them.</span></div>

<blockquote>
<em>An over eager fan was met with a boot to the head from WWE wrestler Randy Orton in Cape Town yesterday after he jumped into the ring and hit Orton in the groin.</em> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>Local wrestling fan Tshepo Sekhabi, who quit his job in Johannesburg to attend the event, left yesterday night's WWE world tour in Cape Town with a black eye and swollen face after getting kicked just under the eye by Orton.</em></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is currently performing events across South Africa as part of its World Tour.</em> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>Sekhabi (20) scaled the security barrier and easily evaded the events security guards to enter the ring where Orton was celebrating a victory against fellow wrestler Big E Langston.</em></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>Sekhabi had time to pause and size up Orton, who was standing on the rings corner ropes, before executing a shocking blow to the wrestlers groin.</em> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>Orton fell to the canvas following the hit as security rushed in to apprehend the assailant. Security managed to haul Sekhabi out of the ring, but not before the ‘Apex Predator’ managed to cross the ring and deliver a solid kick to his attackers head.</em> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>An equally irate Langston, real name Ettore Ewen, also had to be restrained by security from accosting Sekhabi outside of the ring.</em></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>Sekhabi was escorted to the casino’s security offices where he was issued with a five-year ban notice.</em> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>In the offices Sekhabi, who said he doesn’t drink or take any drugs, eagerly posed for photos and willingly gave a statement to security personnel.</em> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>Calling himself “Jozi, the wrestling machine” Sekhabi said he planned the attack before he arrived said “I just don’t like Randy Orton, this was an opportunity for me so I got up there and made a name for myself.”</em></blockquote>

CM Punk recently spoke about his relationships with Vince McMahon & Brock Lesnar. Here are the highlights…<br />
<br />
<b>On His Relationship With Vince McMahon:</b> “The relationship is certainly different and that’s something that’s always evolving. My relationship with Vince today is different than it was in April. It’s something that constantly changes.”<br />
<br />
<b>On Brock Lesnar:</b> “There are a lot of people back there who say me and Brock are very very similar. Unapproachable, bad attitude. A kind of cloud hanging over our heads. But to me, he’s a sweetheart. I have no bad stories about Brock, yet.”Joe T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16659258669791758364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786972434864168133.post-39962822055786845082013-07-28T19:39:00.000-04:002013-07-28T19:39:35.551-04:00Y2J predicts Bryan will win against CenaA fan recently asked former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho for his thoughts on the current number one contender to the WWE Championship, Daniel Bryan, on his official Twitter page (@IAmJericho).

It should be interesting as Orton is scheduled to be re-evaluated today after suffering a concussion during a match with The Big Show several weeks ago on RAW. Orton has been out of action since then and was forced to be pulled from the Elimination Chamber match. Obviously, WWE is hoping for the best today.<br />

Although WWE officials had been planning for months that they were going to do a CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho match at WrestleMania, they just weren’t sure how they were going to get there.<br />
<br />
One idea discussed over the past several weeks was that Jericho would insult Punk so bad that Punk would eventually wind up demanding a match between the two. WWE officials decided that the storyline was too close to what they were doing with The Undertaker vs. Triple H storyline so they went a different route.<br />
<br />
There were also discussions about fans who just paid to see the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view to determine the WrestleMania main events and having Jericho throw insults to get a title shot would devalue the Chamber to fans.Joe T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16659258669791758364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786972434864168133.post-19510058017400005452012-02-20T12:43:00.000-05:002012-02-20T12:43:32.692-05:00The updated & rumored WrestleMania 28 cardHere is the latest on the WrestleMania 28 card:<br />
