As noted earlier, John Cena suffered an injury to his right
Achilles tendon in a match overseas according WWE.com.
Their report was vague and didn't really mention the extent of the
injury or how Cena was hurt but they did however credit the injury to Ryback,
which leaves many to believe that this may be something to add heat to their
upcoming program.
WWE's tour ended with a show last night in Lodz,
Poland and the crew is on their way back for Raw in Columbus, OH, tomorrow
night.
At last night's event, John Cena & Kane & Daniel Bryan
went against Ryback, Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston, doing the same match
they had done the previous nights while on tour. Something worth noting is that
the reports from the show didn't make any reference to anything unusual about
the match.
We will keep you posted as more details from the story
develop.

WWE Still Hopeful for The Network Posted by Steve Carrier on 04/27/2013 at 09:25 AM
WWE held their shareholders meeting on Friday with little fanfare and no new major reveals about anything, including the WWE Network. One shareholder in attendance noted that the meeting was kept unusually short, about an hour long. Vince McMahon was also described as short and dismissive with people asking questions.
Vince still feels the success of the WWE Network is certain. Vince also laughed off a question about The Rock not wrestling again and said WWE is happy with ratings and the third hour of RAW. WWE CFO George Barrios spoke and said WWE will triple their revenue through the Network and monetizing their social media.
"Then. Now. Forever." The WWE video leads us into the show.
A video shows Alberto Del Rio getting the win against Jack Swagger last week on Smackdown. They will meet again in a No Disqualification match tonight. The Undertaker will also compete on Smackdown for the first time in over three years. He'll face Dean Ambrose of The Shield.

- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson reiterated in a Twitter Q&A Friday that
WrestleMania 29 "may have been my last match." This statement follows The Rock
telling radio host Peter Rosenberg last week that WrestleMania was "probably"
his last match.
"Mania may have been my last match. The 3 year goal
was to come in & elevate the WWE. Then proudly 'do the honors.'
#RockTalk."
Rock also added that his injury rehab is "coming along
well" after deciding to have surgery to repair torn abdominal muscles he tore
during the WrestleMania main event match against John Cena.
Multi-time X Division Champion and Tag Team Champion, Chris Sabin, makes his return to IMPACT WRESTLING on the Thursday's May 2nd broadcast on SpikeTV! Watch a special preview video of Sabin's comeback from injury:
James Storm comes out to the ring as we see clips of AJ Styles
beating him last week, and he says that he wanted to fight AJ and he brought the
fight. Storm spots AJ in the crowd and says that his new finishing move hurt
like hell and AJ was the better man last week, but he's not going to cry over
spilled milk because he's a beer drinker. Storm says he'd rather deal with the
Aces & Eights idiots who jumped from behind, and if they wanted to fight,
all they needed to do is call him, tweet him, or whatever. Storm says he knows
that if he calls one of them out, they're all going to come out, but they can
bring as many out as they want because he'll take one or two of them out in the
process. Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian come out and Daniels says they
want to weigh in on the matter since they were also victims of Aces &
Eights. Hogan doesn't have an answer to the Aces & Eights problem, but the
two smartest men in the room know the answer to the problem, because Aces &
Eights has been playing the numbers game, but they know the magic number and
it's four. Not just any four, but Fortune. Kazarian says that all AJ needs to do
is forgive himself for giving them cheapshots last week because he forgives
them, then get away from the fartknockers in the audience and get in the ring
with his boys Bad Influence and reform Fortune tonight since it's the right
thing to do. AJ doesn't respond, but Storm says everyone wants them to shut up,
so Kazarian tells "Travis Tritt" that the fans don't concern them and Storm is
irrelevant, and this leads to Storm jumping Daniels and getting laid out 2-on-1
while AJ watches from amidst the fartknockers. Daniels and Kazarian leave as
Aces & Eights comes out to the ring and surround Storm, Garett Bischoff and
Wes Brisco get a table out from under the ring and set it up so Anderson can
powerbomb Storm through it, but Joseph Park runs out and gets a couple of shots
in before the gang overwhelms him and he gets laid out as well. Doc and Mike
Knox get ready to double chokeslam Park through the table, but Bully Ray tells
them to stop so he and Devon can give Park 3D through the table. In a nice
touch, Park's hand is twitching as he lays on the mat with Aces & Eights
standing over him as we go to commercial.
We're back, and Aces &
Eights are still in the ring as Joseph Park is being carried out, and Bully Ray
tells the crowd they said they weren't screwing around. He tells the fans to
look around because there ain't no heroes left: no Samoa Joe, no Brutus Magnus,
no James Storm, no Joseph Park, NOBODY. Last week, he called out one man (crowd
chants for Hogan), and Bubba says that's right, he called out his next victim,
Hulk Hogan. He tells "Dad" that he has until the end of the show to answer his
challenge, because when you ride with Aces & Eights, you never walk alone.
We go to the announcers, who tell us that Hulk Hogan was here, but he
left hours ago and we don't know why. Todd says we don't know if he's coming
back, and Taz says there's no way because he's not dumb enough to show up.
We go to a video package that recaps Mickie's path back to a title shot,
and she feels sorry for Velvet because she has to fight through an injury, but
she needs to remind everyone of how good she is and it's her time to shine.
Taryn Terrell makes her way to the ring, and she faces Tara...NEXT!
Hulk Hogan returns to the building and the annoying dumbass with the
camera tries to get some answers about where he went, but Hogan says to let it
go and walks off.
Taryn Terrell vs Tara
Terrell
goes nuts on Tara, beating her into the corner, hitting a rolling neckbreaker,
and then a series of hairtosses. Terrell goes back after Terrell in the corner,
but she gets hotshot off the top rope and Tara starts putting the boots to her
and rams her face into the mat. Now Tara hairtosses her across the ring, ODB
gives her a laying down of the law before Tara gives Terrell a catapult into the
corner. Tara gets Terrell in a version of the Muta Lock and then snaps back on
the knee and covers Terrell for a series of two counts. Terrell tries to mount a
comeback, but Tara lifts her in the air by the neck and chokes her for a 4 count
before just dropping her to the mat. That's some good power there by Tara. Tara
is just toying with Terrell and doesn't even really seem to be trying too hard
to cradle her on the pin attempts. Tara catapults Terrell into the bottom rope
this time and gets another couple of 2 counts, but Terrell moves out of the way
of a slingshot rolling legdrop and finally starts that comeback with a series of
clotheslines and a verticla suplex. Terrell goes to the top for a flying
bodypress, but she takes too long and Tara moves out of the way. Terrell hits
hard and Tara trash talks her instead of going for the kill, and I justr KNOW
that's going to come back to bite her. Tara picks Terrell up and hits a twisting
side suplex, but again passes up the pin, takes her time to do the ass shaking
moonsault, and gets rolled up for 3.
Winner: Taryn
Terrell
I liked this match, I thought they told a good story of
the veteran taking the rookie too lightly and getting caught because she screwed
around instead of going for the kill.
Robbie E is backstage and tells
Jesse Godderz that Rob Terry always said he knew Jesse had bigger arms and pecs
than him, and when he beats Rob Terry tonight, he'll be on his way to becoming a
bro on the level of George Washington, Al Bundy, and Oprah Winfrey. Jesse flexes
and says he doesn't need Robbie's help...bro.

Rob
Terry vs Jesse Godderz
Jesse flexes at the crowd, then turns
around and gets his head taken off with a trilogy of clotheslines. Terry gets
distracted briefly by Robbie E, but gets Jesse by the neck and tosses him across
the ring by the neck. Robbie E distracts Terry again and this time Jesse is able
to capitalize and blindside Terry by clipping his knee. That advantage lasts
about thirty seconds before Terry goes back to manhandling Jesse. Jesse
dropkicks Terry and gets him in a camel clutch while hammering forearms into his
chest, he covers Terry but only get 1. Jesse comes off the middle rope, Terry
catches him and pops him up into the powerslam, but Robbie E pulls the ref out
of the ring at 2. Terry goes after Robbie E, Jesse tries to blindside him again,
but Terry sees him coming and just LAUNCHES him into Robbie E, then he press
slams Jesse into the ring, hits the spinebuster, and Jesse is out as Terry
covers for 3.
Winner: Rob Terry
Terry reigns
supreme again as Robbie and Jesse seethe at him from the top of the ramp and
wonder what it will take to stop this monster.
Velvet Sky is backstage,
and she's...uh...JUTTING!
Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels catch
up backstage with Bobby Roode and asks him if he wants to reform Fortune. They
say to forget about Storm, but if the three of them stand together, Daniels
knows AJ will rejoin them. Roode seems to be considering it as Daniels and
Kazarian leave, and we see Aries peeking around the corner with a knowing look
on his face as he eavesdropped on their conversation. We look back at two weeks
ago when Bully Ray defeated Jeff Hardy in Full Metal Mayhem to retain the TNA
World Title, and Mike Tenay says that there are rumors that Jeff Hardy is
thinking of walking away from the business. Taz says that comes as no surprise
and tells Hardy do the smart thing and take his ball and go home.
We see
a video package hyping the return of Chris Sabin, who will be back in the ring
next week after two ACL tears put him on the shelf for the better part of the
last two years. Great video package that got me psyched to see him come back.
Chavo Guerrero, Jr & Hernandez come out to the ring, and they'll
defend the title against Bobby Roode and Austin Aries...NEXT!
Austin
Aries comes up to Bobby Roode and says that if he wants to reform Fortune,
that's his business since they're not really friends, just two dominant World
Champions who make a dominant team. He asks how Daniels and Kazarian are such
great wrestlers if Aries was the one who beat him for the title, and why Fortune
disappeared if they were so awesome. Aries says he wants to be a World Tag Team
Champion and wants Roode to do that with him, and if Roode screw him tonight,
he's just screwing himself.
Speaking of Daniels and Kazarian, they join
the broadcast team for our next match...
TNA World Tag Team
Title Match: Chavo Guerrero, Jr & Hernandez vs Bobby Roode & Austin
Aries
The crowd is solidly behind Aries as he locks up with
Chavo and they trade some basic chain wrestling to start the match. Chavo
finally has enough and starts pounding on Aries with right hands before planting
him with a back suplex for 1. Aries tags Roode in and yells at Roode to get to
it when he stops to glance down at Daniels and Kazarian. Roode comes in and
immediately gets flattened by Hernandez, who bowls him over with a shoulderblock
and a big splash for 2. Hernandez gets a delayed vertical suplex on Roode, then
he no-sells Aries when he runs in and tries to chop Hernandez, who just pumps
him up into the air and press slams him, Hernandez goes up the rampway and
charges down for the flying shoulderblock, but Roode and Aries see him coming
and dodge the shot, and Roode covers Hernandez for 2. Roode puts the boots to
Hernandez and hits a vertical suplex so Aries can slingshot in with a rolling
senton for 2. Now Hernandez is in the wrong part of town, as Roode hits a series
of running kneestrikes to the gut and a Canadian legsweep for 2. Hernandez
evades a double team attempt, clotheslines Roode, tosses Aries onto the corner,
and tags in Chavo to clean house and hit some of his Amigos and a rolling front
kick on Aries for 2. Chavo with a DDT on Roode for 2, Hernandez dumps Aries to
the floor and sets Roode up for the Border Toss, but Daniels and Kazarian
interject themselves and allow Roode to hit Hernandez with a psinebuster. Aries
goes for the 450 splash, Hernandez kicks Roode into the corner and knocks Aries
to the floor, then Daniels distracts the referee while Daniels tries to nail
Hernandez, but Hernandez moves and Daniels accidentally lays Roode out. Chavo
goes up top and hits the frogsplash for the win.
Winners: Chavo
Guerrero, Jr & Hernandez
Chavo and Hernandez retain the
title, even though Todd seemed to think Roode and Aries were the champions
through the whole match. The seeds of dissension are sown between Roode and
Aries...though they never really trusted each other to begin with.
The
cameraman catches up with Matt Morgan and asks him what he thinks of tonight's
confrontation between Hogan and Bubba. He says Hogan's signing his death
warrant, but he's headed out to the ring right now to tell everyone what his
solution is, and he wants everybody to pay attention and learn something.
We see Hulk Hogan appearing at the press conference in Florida where he
got heckled while announcing that Impact was coming to town, followed by a video
package of the recent history between Hulk Hogan and Matt Morgan, and then
Morgan comes out to the ring to address the crowd. He says that the last year
and a half of his career have centered around mistakes by Hulk Hogan, mistakes
like taking Sting's adevice and trusting Bully Ray, not naming Matt Morgan the
#1 contender at Lockdown, and giving Bully Ray the title shot so he could steal
the title and make Impact Wrestling implode. Hogan ejected Sting, his best
friend for 20 years, and nobody's seen him since. Jeff Hardy tried to regain the
title for Hogan and TNA, and he got stretchered out of the arena because of Aces
& Eights. The crowd chants for Hogan, and Morgan says he's with them because
he'd like to ask Hogan down to the ring so he can present him with the answer to
all of his problems. Hogan takes his time, but finally comes out to face Morgan,
who says that he doesn't want to BS each other: Hogan has no more horses in the
race and no backup when he comes out to face Bubba later tonight. Everyone knows
they're going to eat him up and spit him out, they've done it to everyone else
on their roster, and he has nobody left. Morgan offers the ultimate solution:
seven feet and 300 pounds of "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan. Nobody wants it more
and nobody has begged for the shot more than Matt Morgan, and nobody's more able
to eliminate them than he is, and he is Hogan's seven foot knight in shining
armor, and if given the opportunity, he'll take Bully Ray's watermelon head and
Carbon Footprint it into the fifth row...for a small price, of course. Morgan
says he'll handle the Bully Ray situation if Hogan gives him the title shot at
Slammiversary right now, and he asks Hogan what he thinks. Hogan stops to look
out at the crowd and gauge their reaction, and the fans seem into the idea.
Hogan tells Morgan that a lot of what he says is true and he has the goods to
get the job done, and Hogan says he probably could, but with his hopes at an all
time high, he was hoping Morgan would do the right thing. Hogan put up with all
of Morgan's crap because he was hoping Morgan would finally become the guy we
all wanted him to be, the second coming of the Mania, BROTHER, but at the end of
the day, Morgan will only do it for a price. If Hogan gave him the title shot
now, it would be a bigger mistake than Bully Ray, and he knows he caused all
this trouble with Aces & Eights, and even if he's not capable, he'll go out
there and take what he needs to take for the sake of the company and he's not
going to hand anything over to Morgan. And by the way, he never saw Andre the
Giant come out here and whine like a little bitch. Hogan drops the mic and
storms off as an irate Morgan stands in the ring in shock that he didn't get his
title shot.
Mickie James and Velvet Sky are backstage, and
they're...WALKING! Aces & Eights are in their satellite clubhouse
laughing over the idea of Hulk Hogan facing them alone after like 20 knee
surgeries, but Bully Ray makes the rest of the gang promise not to get involved
and let him deal with his father-in-law by himself.
Knockouts
Title Match: Velvet Sky vs Mickie James
Mickie looks like she's
worked hard to get herself into great shape. They do some basic feeling out
before Velvet snapmares Mickie and hits a basement dropkick for 2. Velvet hits a
leapfrog and tweaks the knee she injured a couple of weeks ago, and Mickie
hesitates for a moment before going for a cover. She only gets 2, so she gets a
spinning toehold, a very legitimate submission hold that could end a match after
someone suffers an injury like Velvet did...and we choose now to go to
commercial.
We're back, and Mickie is still relentlessly working
Velvet's knee over. She catches Velvet in an STF, Velvet makes it to the ropes
to force a break, and she suddenly starts firing back at Mickie after getting a
second wind. Her knee is still giving her a lot of trouble as she unloads on
Mickie, but collapses when she gets fired into the ropes and goes down in a
heap. Mickie hesitates again, and it costs her as Velvet hits a Russian legsweep
for 2. Mickie hits a leaping enziguiri and goes to the top, and she connects
with a top rope Thesz Press that Velvet just barely kicks out of. Mickie
backdrops Velvet out of In Your Face and sets up for the DDT, but Velvet shoves
her off so Mickie dropkicks the injured knee out from under her. Mickie again
gives Velvet time to recover and Velvet catches her in a small package and she
grabs the damn jeans to get 3!
Winner: Velvet Sky
I don't think Velvet actually was supposed to cheat to win the match,
but they were close enough to the ropes that I guess she had to do something to
hit the finish and it was one of those things that just kind of happens.
Bully Ray and Devon are backstage gloating over being the most
successful tag team in history, and now they hold the TNA World and TV Titles,
and they lead a pack of wolves and nobody is going to stop them. Bubba's going
out to face his father-in-law, and he's going to be the man to put the final
nail in the coffin of Hulkamania.
We then go to Brooke Hogan, who is
scared to death for her father as he goes out to face Aces & Eights. She
knows she sounds like a hypocrite because she wanted to face Bubba alone too,
but she has bodyguards. I guess Hogan can't bring Atlas Security to the ring
with him? Anyway, Hogan says he made this problem by putting Bubba in the
position to win the title, and now he has to go handle this situation. Brooke
leaves, Hogan asks himself what he's getting himself into, and he goes back to
taping up his wrists.
Bully Ray comes out to the ring, takes a piece of
paper out of his back pocket, and reads off a list of names: Sting, Brutus
Magnus, Samoa Joe, Eric Young, the Pope, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Joseph Park,
James Storm, and he asks what all those names have in common. He says they were
all victims of Aces & Eights, and there's only one victim left. He tells
Hulk Hogan to get out there right now, and Hulk himself comes out with his
business tape wrapped around his fists. Bubba yells to have his music shut off
as he asks a very angry looking Hulk Hogan how his recently-reconstructed knee
is doing. Bubba says Hogan is raring to go and he bets Hogan can't wait to just
punch him in his face, hit him with the big boot, and drop the big leg on him,
but it ain't gonna happen. Hogan can walk down the ramp, step in the ring, and
try to fool the fans, but he'll never in a million years fool Bubba. He can look
in Hogan's eyes and see one and only one thing: pure fear. Hulk Hogan fears
Bully Ray, and he fears him because he reminds Hogan of himself, he's the last
of a dying breed, Hogan's breed. Hogan asked if he ever thought he would see
Bubba standing there, and reminds Hogan that he's the President of Aces &
Eights, the TNA World Champion, his son-in-law, and the man who's going to put
an end to Hulkamania. Hogan says Bubba can't put an end to Hulkamania because
Hulkamania will never die. They throw down their microphones, Bubba turns his
hat around backward as Taz cheers for Bubba to go after his knee, but instead
Bubba just spits in Hogan's face. Hogan stops and shakes his head and starts to
walk away, but then he gets the look of the Hulkster, tears his shirt off, and
does YOU! at Bubba. Bubba goes YOU back at him and they stare each other down
until Bubba takes a swing at Hogan, who blocks, whips Bubba to the ropes for the
big boot, but Bubba grabs the ropes and pulls himself out to the floor. The rest
of Aces & Eights comes out and surrounds the ring, and things are looking
really bad for Hogan...but the lights go out, and when they come back up, Sting
is in the ring and is pointing his bat at Hogan. Bubba looks really excited, but
we all know what's going to happen next. Sure enough, Sting turns around, nudges
Bubba's hat off with the bat, and starts laying out Aces & Eights with the
bat while Hogan knocks a few off himself. Aces & Eights heads for the hills,
but instead of giving Hogan a big, sloppy hug and kiss, he points his bat at
Hogan and then walks off without saying a word. Sting is back to help TNA, but
it looks like he and Hogan still have a ways to go as a bewildered Hogan stares
out at the crowd as we call it a week.
Update on Rosa Mendes' Status with WWE Posted by Steve Carrier on 04/24/2013 at 11:57 PM
As reported earlier, Rosa Mendes was sent home from WWE's ongoing European tour. WWE issued a statement to online news outlets stating, "Rosa Mendes left the international tour for personal reasons."
According to the Wrestling Observer, Mendes was "partying too much on the tour," with one company source describing her as "a mess." Talent and other employees were under the belief that she would probably not rejoin the company on the road for a while, but also mentioned that she has not been suspended.
PWInsider.com noted that Mendes has a history of similar issues, which prompted company officials to send her back home.
Mendes addressed the matter on Twitter, writing, "Just wanted to let all my #Mendesluverz that I'm ok. I had to take care of some personal matters. Thank you for all your support. Love you."
Mendes manages the real-life cousin tandem of Primo and Epico, and is considered the star of the group due to her appearance and charisma. Though Primo and Epico are well-liked within the company and considered good workers, the general feeling is that they lack charisma and therefore aren't heavily promoted.
- The segment on RAW last night where The Shield arrived in a helicopter was
real footage as they had to fly from the SmackDown live event in Cardiff, Wales
to make it to RAW. Fandango and Summer Rae were also on the helicopter but

the first and second matches at the SmackDown live event. The Shield lost to
Sheamus and The New Age Outlaws while Fandango defeated Ted DiBiase.
- William Regal spoke to WWE.com after losing to Fandango on last
night's RAW from London. Regal said he was humbled by the ovation he received
from the crowd.
- WWE's website also spoke to Fandango after the match.
He said the United States fans can't come close to pronouncing his name and
singing his song right. He was excited to come to London because maybe the fans
could get his song right but they couldn't. Fandango called the UK fans a
disgrace.
- WWE's website also posted footage of Paul Heyman being
helped to the back after the segment with Triple H where he took a Pedigree.
While Heyman was being helped out of the ring, the crowd broke out in a huge

bigger pop. The crowd then did the same thing for Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole.
- As noted before, WWE Diva Rosa Mendes has been sent home from
WWE's current tour of Europe. Sources reported she may have been drunk but WWE
officials say she was sent home due to personal reasons.
Rosa commented
on the news via her Twitter:
"Just wanted to let all my #Mendesluverz
that I'm ok. I had to take care of some personal matters. Thank you for all your
support. Love you"

It has helped me in the past and it will still be helping me now.
#Determination."

WWE Working with Limited Roster for Raw Posted by Steve Carrier on 04/22/2013 at 04:02 PM
- The WWE RAW crew will be working with a limited roster for this afternoon's tapings from London, England as several top stars are working the SmackDown live event in Wales.
It will be interesting to see how they pull off appearances by Fandango and The Shield, who are currently in Cardiff, Wales for a SmackDown live event. Cardiff to London is just under three hours so it's possible The Shield can show up in time for their main event match against The Undertaker, Kane and Daniel Bryan. Fandango was expected to appear tonight and continue his feud with the returning Chris Jericho. Other guys like Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show likely won't be on RAW either.
- Naomi may have injured her left knee in a six-Divas tag match in Paris, France last night. She reportedly landed bad after executing a move on one of The Bella Twins.
