CM Punk Responds To Arrest Rumors

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.

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:

“@thatnigga_juju: @CMPunk why everyone saying u was arrested ?” Because I totally got arrested.

CM Punk recently spoke about his relationships with Vince McMahon & Brock Lesnar. Here are the highlights…

On His Relationship With Vince McMahon: “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.”

On Brock Lesnar: “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.”

Original Plans For Chris Jericho & CM Punk Revealed

According to sources, the RAW Battle Royal main event to crown an opponent for CM Punk at WrestleMania 28 was a last minute idea that came from Vince McMahon. 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.

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.

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.

Early WWE RAW Preview + Long-Laurinaitis Feud

– Tonight’s WWE Monday night RAW will take place from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The only thing announced so far is The Undertaker calling out Triple H. CM Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler and John Cena vs. Kane are the advertised dark matches. It should also be noted that SD talents Ted DiBiase, Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Sheamus, Big Show and Daniel Bryan are all advertised locally for the show.

– WWE edited out Randy Orton’s botched RKO on Big Show from last Monday’s RAW during replays in the U.K.

– Teddy Long tweeted the following last night in regards to his currently storyline with John Laurinaitis: “Listen, playas. I’m not going anywhere. And if @WWERawGM thinks any differently then he truly is as clueless as he looks. #Chamber”

William Regal then chimed in with the following: “@GMSmackDown @WWERawGM Perhaps it’s time for me to take over from both of you.I’m better than both of you and far more better dressed.#over”

Chris Jericho & CM Punk Continue Their Twitter Feud

Over the weekend, WWE Champion CM Punk and Chris Jericho continued their feud via Twitter. Punk tweeted the following: “CHAMBEEEEEEER! There will be blood, then a doctor will stop the blood, then there will not be any blood anymore. Bloodbloodbloodbloodblood”

Jericho then replied with the following:

“@CMPunk Everything is a joke to you isn’t it wannabe? Well laugh it up fuzzball, your party ends tomorrow in the #chamber…”

As of this writing, CM Punk has yet to reply.

What happened after RAW went of the air

After Raw went off the air, John Laurinaitis grabbed a mic and declared a championship match between CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler. Punk wins. Decent match. Ziggler can sell the GTS. While Punk celebrated, Kane comes out. Cena attacks Kane from behind. Punk leaves as Cena and Kane brawl into ring. Kane gives Cena a chokeslam. He starts walking out, then returns. Cena gives him an AA. Show is over for Phoenix.

Brodus Clay/WWE?, TLC possible *Spoiler!* matches

– Brodus Clay did not return on RAW and there was no vignette this week. We hope to have more shortly.

– CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio for the WWE Title and Triple H vs. Kevin Nash are both scheduled for WWE’s TLC pay-per-view.

As of this writing, there is no word on the stipulations for those matches.

Triple H is out 6 weeks & original Rock/Cena plans

– WWE’s website has posted a storyline update on Triple H following the attack from Kevin Nash on last night’s RAW Supershow. They report that the WWE COO has suffered fractured vertebrae in his neck. The doctor adds that Triple H will be out of action for at least six weeks.

– In addition to The Rock and John Cena vs. The Miz and R-Truth, CM Punk vs. WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio – Kevin Nash vs. Triple H in some sort of gimmick match is planned for WWE’s Survivor Series pay-per-view.

– As noted earlier today, WWE changed plans with The Rock and John Cena at Survivor Series as they originally had a traditional Survivor Series match planned with the two on the same team. That was changed to The Rock and John Cena vs. The Miz and R-Truth in part because officials felt that putting Rock and Cena in a traditional 5-on-5 match would take too much attention off them going into their WrestleMania 28 match.

SmackDown! moving to Tuesday update & Punk/Cena

– John Cena has been topped as WWE’s top merchandise seller by CM Punk. For the first time in five years, a regular wrestler has topped John Cena. The Rock had previously accomplished this during his short return, but in addition to topping Cena, Punk has also topped the single day sales record of the Rock. This is the first time in 5-years anyone has topped Cena from within the company and not only has Punk done so at WWE Shopzone, but also at live events Punk is the merchandise king.

– As we noted last week here on the website, WWE has plans to run another live episode of WWE SmackDown!. The show will air live from Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesday, November 29th. Just like last time they did a live episode, they’ll be airing the replay several days later at the normal timeslot on Friday night. This is basically another ratings test to see if a permanent move to Tuesday nights will take place.

*Spoilers!* WWE SD! results for Friday 10/7

SmackDown:
*Smackdown opens with a backstage segment featuring Teddy Long and Zack Ryder discussing the Raw walk-out. Long says Raw’s loss will be Smackdown’s gain.

*In the ring are Christian, Wade Barrett, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Cody Rhodes and Vickie Guerrero. They say that unless HHH steps down as COO, they will be boycotting live events as its not a safe working environment.

*WWE champ Alberto Del Rio comes out and says that the Smackdown stars won’t return to Raw as long as HHH is COO. He’s here to show Smackdown what Raw will be missing this Monday. Teddy Long comes out and announces Sheamus & Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes & Christian as tonight’s main event, but says that since Del Rio wants to be in action tonight, he will face Sin Cara.

*WWE champion Alberto Del Rio defeated Sin Cara. After the match, Black Cara attacked Blue Cara.

*Backstage, Matt Striker interviewed WWE Tag Team champions Air Boom, asking them why they walked out on Raw. They said it was a culmination of many things but until HHH steps down, the fans won’t see Air Boom anywhere but Smackdown.

*Jack Swagger and WWE United States champion Dolph Ziggler defeated WWE Tag Team champions Air Boom in a non title match. The champions were attacked as they made their entrance and were on the defensive for most of the match.

*WWE Divas champion Beth Phoenix defeated Alicia Fox in 30 seconds. After the match, Fox was trapped in Beth’s submission while Natalya screamed at her on the mic to cry and scream.

*Big Show makes his return and cuts a promo about finally returning after being hurt for several months. World champion Mark Henry came out and cut a promo saying he’ll deal with Show in time, but Show hasn’t done a thing to deserve a title shot.

*Matt Striker interviewed Randy Orton, asking him why he wasn’t out there for the HHH vote of confidence on Monday. Orton says if he has a problem with HHH, he’ll deal with him personally. He says he doesn’t play well with others and doesn’t like a group mentality.

*Big Show returns to the ring and says that he wants Mark Henry tonight and wants Henry’s answer by tonight. It looks like they are adding something to the previous segment or perhaps re-filming it.

*Ezekiel Jackson pinned Jinder Mahal.

*Backstage, Johnny Ace shows up in Teddy Long’s office and says Teddy can count on him if he needs anything.

*There is a segment were Hornswoggle and Booker T do Spinaroonies, but that’s likely going to be a segment for the live house only.

*They teased something with Henry and Show but I have to head out due to an early meeting. If they did anything once they ended the taping, I’ll miss it. Interesting to note that like Dayton a few weeks ago, the entire side of the Arena where the hard cameras was located was tarped off with the entire audience on the one side of the venue.

Big Night of Champions *Spoilers!*

Many people within WWE are expecting Kevin Nash to do a run-in during the Punk vs. Triple H match tonight, leading to a possible Punk vs. Nash match at Hell in a Cell or a triple threat.

Beth Phoenix has been scheduled to win the WWE Divas Title from Kelly Kelly at tonight’s show from her hometown of Buffalo, New York.

WWE demands Kevin Nash to dye hair

– Kevin Nash reportedly tried returning to WWE TV without dying his hair black but officials insisted that he dye it black because they wanted him to look younger. Nash tried to get out of it but WWE wouldn’t budge. It’s said that Nash prefers his gray hair and when he was in TNA, people pushed for him to dye it but he wouldn’t.

– As seen on Monday’s RAW, Kevin Nash said that CM Punk looked like a cook from a Waffle House in Pikesville. It’s said that Nash was actually taking a shot at TNA, referring to Pikesville, Kentucky – one of TNA’s hottest markets for live events. Nash was always against working live events in TNA and backstage at the few he did work, he never took them seriously.

Kevin Nash Teases RAW Appearance – Details

Kevin Nash teased on Twitter that he will be appearing on tonight’s episode of Raw.

He wrote, “Rumor has it a tall, dark haired dude is going to be on Raw tonight. You better watch. He has a tendency to disappear for months.”

Nash appeared last night at SummerSlam to assault CM Punk following his WWE Championship victory over John Cena. Following the attack, Alberto Del Rio cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and defeated Punk for the belt. Freedom Pro Wrestling announced two days earlier that Nash had suffered a neck injury and would miss their Saturday event. He was replaced by “Diamond” Dallas Page.

What happened after SummerSlam?

Ricardo Rodriguez came out on the stage after the WWE SummerSlam PPV and told everyone to get up and cheer for the new champion – Alberto Del Rio.

Alberto then left the ring and CM Punk got up to standing ovation. As he walked up the ramp, Punk’s music hit.

Lots of SS news: Who did Kelly Kelly kiss?, Sheamus/Henry, Del Rio's bodyguard

– The man that Kelly Kelly kissed at ringside last night during SummerSlam was NHL player Sheldon Souray, who plays for the Dallas Stars. Kelly noted on Twitter that Souray was in town with her mother and word is that the two are now dating. Kelly previously dated WWE star Justin Gabriel.

– Local independent wrestlers from the Pro Wrestling Guerilla promotion were sitting at ringside last night during the spot where Mark Henry and Sheamus crashed through the barrier and into the crowd. WWE used the wrestlers there as extras to prevent fans from getting hurt.

- Alberto Del Rio is the new WWE Champion after defeating the former Champion, CM Punk, at tonight’s SummerSlam pay-per-view.

Moments after Punk won the WWE Title match against John Cena, Kevin Nash returned to WWE and laid Punk out. This brought out Del Rio, who cashed in Money in the Bank to become the new WWE Champion.

A new bodyguard for Del Rio was discussed as far back as two months ago and it looks as if they have filled that role with Kevin Nash.

Punk’s win over John Cena also came in controversial fashion as Cena’s foot was on the ropes and special referee Triple H didn’t see it.

What went on after RAW

After Raw:
* They did the advertised Champion vs. Champion match with John Cena and CM Punk. They did the deal where The Miz and R-Truth ran in and the champs laid them out.

Other Notes:
* The contract signing was great live. The people were into it. They were into most of the show and were much louder than they came across on TV.
