TNA just ran an angle at their Bethlehem, PA
house show where Matt Morgan, in street clothes, laid out Robbie E indicating
that he has signed a new contract with TNA.
OTTAWA With Night of Champions two days away, The Great White would battle WWE's submission specialist, Daniel Bryan, in a hard-fought WrestleMania rematch without the help of his banned Brogue Kick. Meanwhile, The Viper, Randy Orton, looked to best Tensai and an explosive Fatal 4-Way Intercontinental Title Match was created for the imminent pay-per-view.
With his strongest opportunity yet to overcome World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus at Night of Champions, Alberto Del Rio came before the WWE Universe, giving Booker T a nod for banning the Brogue Kick one week ago. The injured Ricardo Rodriguez then thanked his mother and all his "fans" for their support, while the now-injured David Otunga criticized Raw General Manager AJ Lee for putting him in a dangerous match against World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus on Monday.
The Mexican Aristocrat then surprised all by presenting Christian via satellite still recovering from a shoulder injury of his own. While Captain Charisma made no bones of the fact that he didn't like Del Rio and that he hoped The Great White defeated him at Night of Champions, his feelings on the Brogue Kick were just as clear. Citing the maneuver as one of the primary reasons he lost a year of his career, the former World Heavyweight Champion stated that Sheamus' finisher should remain banned.
Daniel Bryan then emerged, revealing that Booker T had granted him a WrestleMania rematch against The Celtic Warrior, so that he could prove that the 18 second World Title loss at The Show of Shows was only because he was caught by surprise.
Sheamus himself took the opportunity to join the party, informing both Bryan and Del Rio that, after he defeated them again respectively, they would understand that those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it. When Otunga tried to get The Great White to leave, the Harvard-educated Superstar found himself slingshot off the rope as The Celtic Warrior pulled off his neckbrace and gave it to the crowd.
Sin Cara def. Intercontinental Champion The Miz in a Non-Title Match
One week ago in tag team action, The Miz was accidently kicked by his own partner, Cody Rhodes a mistake that led directly to their loss. Then, three days later on Raw, after a distraction by Miz helped Rhodes overcame Rey Mysterio, The Awesome One was treated to the Cross Rhodes courtesy of the grandson of a plumber.
In response to recent events, Miz looked to take out the full extent of his frustration out on the high-octane Sin Cara. However, an unorthodox style of his gravity-defying masked opponent allowed him to rise above the Intercontinental Champion for a huge upset pinfall!
Later, when Rhodes, Mysterio and Sin Cara all interrupted Miz' interview with Matt Striker, Senior Adviser Theodore Long declared on behalf of SmackDown General Manager Booker T that the four Superstars would compete in a Fatal 4-Way Intercontinental Championship Match at Night of Champions.
Kane def. WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston
Prior to Kane's SmackDown match against Kofi Kingston, Daniel Bryan and The Devil Favorite Demon incorporated stress balls into their ongoing therapy, as Dr. Shelby continued to help the new No. 1 contenders to the WWE Tag Team Titles deal with their anger management.
When The Big Red Monster finally did face Kofi one-on-one, he caught his high-flying Superstar off the top rope and leveled him with the Chokeslam for the win. After the bell, when Dr. Shelby appeared, the masked Superstar hesitantly re-entered the ring and gave his fallen opponent a post-match hug.
But, will Kane and Bryan be able to keep their anger under control and work together at Night of Champions to capture the WWE Tag Team Championships?
Randy Orton def. Tensai
Just two days before he will face Mr. Money in the Bank, Dolph Ziggler, at Night of Champions, Randy Orton asked to battle Tensai one-on-one for the first-time ever.
While Tensai truly threw his weight around, using every part of himself to overpower WWE's Apex Predator to give him a brutal beatdown, The Viper would roar back. After knocking Sakamoto from the apron and withstanding a last ditch assault that nearly put him away, Orton overcame Tensai with the RKO.
As the smoke cleared, Vickie Guerrero emerged, speaking for Dolph Ziggler while, at the same time, claiming that he had taken the night off. Orton refuted The Queen Divas' claims that he would be beat by Ziggler this Sunday and that he would never be the World Champion again, before anticipating The Showoff's sneak attack and thwarting his efforts.
Tyson Kidd and Brodus Clay sent a message to United States Champion Antonio Cesaro
Angry that his Night of Champions challenger will be determined in a pay-per-view Pre-Show Battle Royal this Sunday, Antonio Cesaro shared his outrage in five languages. Before long, Tyson Kidd would emerge to take exception "in Canadian," only to be hurled over the top rope by the irate United States Champion.
But, after Brodus Clay stepped through the ropes, the combined assault of the two Superstars ultimately sent the smug Swiss Superstar packing. And afterward, both The Funkasaurus and the last graduate of the Hart Family Dungeon got Funky, dancing all the way to Night of Champions.
Wade Barrett promised a demonstration of what he meant by being "open for business"
Stating that people were either too stupid or too scared to know what he meant when he said he was "open for business" last week, Wade Barrett promised that "one lucky person" will "sample the product" and that after that, "business would be booming."
Kaitlyn def. Beth Phoenix
With Divas Champion Layla looking on in the back four days before their title clash at Night of Champions, Kaitlyn battled one of the most dominating formerDivas Champions in history, Beth Phoenix. However, when The Glamazon went for the Glam Slam on the No. 1 contender, Kaitlyn suddenly countered for a monumental victory!
Will Kaitlyn's triumph over The Fabulous Firebird give her the momentum she needs to overcome the first English-born Divas Champion?
Eve and Theodore Long attempted to show their support for SmackDown General Manager Booker T
Despite the controversy surrounding his decision to ban the World Heavyweight Champion's Brogue Kick, it is clear that Booker T's administration is squarely behind him.
World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus def. Daniel Bryan
One week ago on SmackDown, Sheamus' devastating Brogue Kick was banned by General Manager Booker T. This week, just two days before his World Heavyweight Title Match against Alberto Del Rio, The Great White found himself in a WrestleMania rematch against Daniel Bryan the very Superstar he overcame in 18 seconds with the outlawed finisher to claim his illustrious title at The Showcase of the Immortals. Looking on, in the back, was Del Rio himself with Ricardo Rodriguez and David Otunga in tow.
The hard-hitting showdown that ensued would be much longer than its predecessor on The Grandest Stage of Then All. Instead, the WWE Universe would bear witness to a tremendous back-and-forth struggle, both inside and outside the ring, between the Irish Superstar who loves to fight and the technically elite competitor who once stated that he know more than 100 submission maneuvers.
While Bryan proved very effective against The Celtic Warrior including his constant efforts to control his anger management issues in the end, it wasn't enough. And after escaping a submission finisher, Sheamus would make Bryan tap out with the Cloverleaf for the huge victory.
Despite the win, it remains to be seen whether The Great White will be able to triumph over Del Rio at Night of Champions, without the crown jewel of his arsenal at the ready.
WWE Removing "Attitude Era" Videos Posted by Steve Carrier on 09/14/2012 at 05:00 PM
WWE announced late Thursday that it was removing "dated and edgier" footage from its official website and media platforms, a day after co-founder Linda McMahon's political opponent used clips in an attack ad.
"To better reflect our current family-friendly brand of entertainment, WWE is removing some dated and edgier footage from digital platforms," said Brian Flinn, WWE's Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications, in a statement. "Some of this footage has been misused in political environments without any context or explanation as to when it was produced. This damages the corporate reputation of our company. WWE is well within its rights to protect its intellectual property for fair use."
Flinn said the footage removal is not related to an ad released Wednesday by Rep. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat running for Senate against McMahon, which featured WWE footage while slamming her for allegedly off-shoring profits to avoid taxes and failing to provide health coverage for their performers. Rather, it is part of a re-branding effort.
While WWE held a PG-14 rating for much of the late 1990s and early 2000s when she was running the organization with her husband, Vince McMahon, its current content is rated PG or G.
The big winning streak for Ryback is up to 30 after Monday's RAW. This number includes TV and pay-per-view matches for this year. World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus is the only Superstar close to that with a 20 match winning streak, counting TV and pay-per-view matches. Sheamus will wrestle Daniel Bryan on tonight's SmackDown. The Diva with the current longest winning streak is Divas Champion Layla with 10.

Richie Steamboat vs. Kassius Ohno
Pre-match, the vocal males cheer on Ohno while one lonely child chants Richie! Steamboats armdrags and headlocks annoy Ohno, but Steamboat continues to dominate. Ohno cant get any kind of offense going, but a thumb to the eye gets him some room, to the referees displeasure. The argument with the referee gives Steamboat time to recover and go back on the attack, so Ohno rakes the eyes again. The referee disqualifies Ohno.
Winner: Richie Steamboat Post-match, as Steamboat still reels, Ohno kicks him out of the ring and drops him on the guardrail.

Winner: Paige
Backstage, Ricky Steamboat waves off Briley Pearce to get to see his son, but he encounters Kassius Ohno first. Ohno acts civil, and tells Steamboat that hes glad they met, so he could tell him that his son has little potential and asks if Ricky saw him hurting and defenseless. They end up pushing each other, and as referees come in to break it up, Ohno shouts, The dragon is mad, what are you going to do, armdrag me? That was pretty awesome, and by far the best thing Kassius Ohno has done in NXT so far.

Bennett goes for a piledriver, but referee Todd Sinclair stops him from doing so. Bennett has words with Sinclair, but that allows Sydal to take Bennett down and hook him with a jackknife pin for a nearfall.
Sydal does a Matrix move to avoid a Bennett clothesline, followed by connecting with a leaping neckbreaker. Bennett drives Sydal into the corner, but then Sydal gets his knees up off a corner charge. Sydal heads up to the middle rope and connects with something out of his older brother's playbook, the flying double knees. Sydal then with another staple of his older brother's repertoire, the standing moonsault for a nearfall. Bennett comes back by nailing Sydal with a boot to the head. Bennett lifts up Sydal and hits the Photo Finish, but decides to pull Sydal up. Bennett points to Maria as he hooks Sydal in a Cobra Clutch of sorts, obviously wanting to make Sydal submit. However, while that is going on, Mike Mondo comes out to ringside, grabs a hold of Maria and proceeds to KISS HER ON THE LIPS! Bennett sees this and goes after Mondo and the chase is on. Bennett chases Mondo to the back while Sinclair starts the 20 count.
Bennett doesn't come back out while Maria is still in a state of shock as to what just happened and this gives Sydal the victory.

"Inside Ring of Honor"
The 1st topic is the fact that the 2 semi-finals in the ROH Tag Title Tournament at "Death Before Dishonor X" are set. They are S.C.U.M. vs. Coleman/Alexander and the Briscoes vs. Charlie Haas & Rhett Titus. It has also been revealed that off his indefinite suspension, Shelton Benjamin will be in Charlie Haas's corner at "Death Before Dishonor X". We go to comments from Haas & Titus.
Haas: "1 down, 2 to go and we're going to Chicago". "And guess what? Shelton Benjamin's coming with me, his suspension is up and you think I would honestly go in to a tournament of this magnitude with just Rhett Titus?" "You stupid?" "No, see Shelton's gonna be my cornerman for this tournament, he's gonna be there to see when I, along with Rhett Titus, win the semis and the finals". "And Rhett, I could care less if you like it or not, deal with it".
Titus: "We're headin' to Chicago, Death Before Dishonor and all of a sudden, Charlie Haas wants to drop this bombshell on me?" 'He lets me know that his regular partner, Shelton Benjamin, is gonna be in our corner for the Ring of Honor Tag Team Title Tournament?" "Well Shelton Benjamin, I don't trust you for a damn second". "And Shelton Benjamin, I don't particularly like you either". "So not only am I gonna have eyes on my opponents across the ring, I'm gonna have my eyes in the back of my head and just in case one of you guys wants to do something funny, you will find out that Rhett Titus may only be one man, but I can fight like two".
The final topic is that a new match has been announced for "Death Before Dishonor X" as Jay Lethal will face Homicide. We see video highlighting what happened last week with Lethal before we go to comments from him.
Lethal: "You know a couple of people have asked me why I did what I did, but the question is, are you really surprised?" "I mean, are you really shocked?" "When you think about it, a man can only be pushed and poked for so long before he changes his outlook on life". "And by no means am I saying I'm ready to rebel against society, but I am saying that I'm driven and my motivation is to become the Ring of Honor World Champion". "With that said, in Chicago Ridge, I take on Homicide, a former Ring of Honor World Champion, a man known to be nasty, a man who brings a fork to the ring". "Well Homicide, in Chicago Ridge, you bring that fork and I'll bring the main course, because I'm gonna hand feed you this ass whipping". "When I wake up, everyone in Ring of Honor, especially Jim Cornette and I open their eyes and I prove to them that I am the man that's gonna take out Kevin Steen, I am the man that's gonna become the next Ring of Honor World Champion".

Jerry Lawler Update: Fear of Brain Damage Posted by Steve Carrier on 09/11/2012 at 08:15 PM
Former WWE Diva Stacy Carter ("The Kat" and "Miss Kitty"), the ex-wife of Jerry Lawler, says the King is being taken out of sedation and is now responsive after undergoing more heart procedures on Tuesday.
There is now fear that Lawler might have suffered brain damage during RAW after suffering a heart attack, when his brain was deprived of oxygen for several minutes.
Carter released this statement on Facebook:
"I have an update on Jerry. The docs are removing his ventilation & taking him out of sedation. He is responsive, which is great!!! It took a while to revive him last night so there's the concern of brain damage. He had some tests done which will show how much if any damage there is due to the lack of oxygen to his brain. Unfortunately, the results won't be in until in the morning. I appreciate all the calls, texts, tweets, & Facebook messages of support & I know Jerry will too. Thanks everybody!!"
