In case you have noticed, Mike Knox has not appeared on television since the May 29th, 2009 episode of Friday Night Smackdown, which saw him to lose to The Great Khali and R-Truth in a tag match after Dolph Ziggler walked out on him. His status in WWE remains unclear, but some reports have circulated online saying he is in the doghouse and perhaps even in line to be let go.
-- WWE Diva Eve Torres seems to be dealing with a small neck problem. She noted on her Twitter that she is getting her stretched out at a local non-surgical spine care center in Southern California.
Internally, it is believed that Tony Atlas is on his way out of WWE. Many feel he was solely brought back a year ago as a favor because he was dealing with some financial issues. There is hope that the WWE Hall of Famer saved the money he made during his latest run, not to mention use the television exposure he received over the past year to generate more bookings on the independent circuit.
Former TNA Knockout/wrestler Roxxi will be debuting in Ring of Honor under her old name (Nikki Roxx) at the August 14 TV tapings for HDNet in Philadelphia, PA.
A man claiming to work for TNA called into the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show Wednesday morning to say that Karen Angle and her children were presently living with Jeff Jarrett. The man noted that TNA president Dixie Carter was irate and threatening to fire Jarrett or buy his company stake out as a result of the situation. Bubba tried to call Kurt Angle to confirm this person's story, but he did not answer his phone.
For what it's worth, Kurt said during his memorable appearance on The Howard Stern Show back in March that Karen had an affair with a fellow TNA wrestler. Kurt claimed she'd stay out all night and later tell him she was hanging out with friends in the hotel lobby. Kurt said he cheated on her "a couple of times" while they were separated, but felt she slept around to get back at him. Kurt said he didn't want to reveal the name and seemed to be real awkward about the situation.
Karen filed for divorce from Kurt last September, which was later finalized on October 26, 2008.

Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho & Dolph Ziggler def. Jeff Hardy & Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio (Disqualification) (VIDEO | PHOTOS) The animosity between the polar opposite Night of Champion opponents, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and Jeff Hardy, reached a new level of intensity. Hardy insisted he will become the next World Heavyweight Champion while Punk says that his pay-per-view opponent is a consummate screw-up who will never beat him (Match preview). After listening to one insult too many, Hardy abruptly ended the confrontation, knocking the World Champion to the canvas. (VIDEO | PHOTOS)
Later, in the culmination of a spectacular tag team main event, Jeff Hardy threw Jericho in The Straightedge Champions direction as he was sitting at the broadcast table. Punk then tossed Jericho into Hardy, knocking his Night of Champions challenger into the unforgiving steel steps disqualifying he and Rey Mysterio in the process. After the match, the smiling United Tag Team Champion hooked in the Walls of Jericho to the war-torn Charismatic No. 1 Contender while Punk looked on indifferently from outside the ring.
John Morrison def. World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk (Non-title) (VIDEO | PHOTOS) For the second time in three weeks, The Friday Night Delight used a quick counter to score a second non-title victory over World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk. After the bell, the World Champion he refused to shake hands because the last time they shook hands, Punk hit the GTS cheap shot on Morrison. Punk knows that by Morrison offering the hand, it comes with consequences.
Kane def. R-Truth (PHOTOS) Kane showed R-Truth whats up in their first match ever, beating him with a devastating boot to the face as the energetic Superstar was coming off the top rope.

As The Punjabi Playboy stomped down to the ring, R-Truth nailed The Big Red Machine with an explosive dropkick off the top rope, nearly allowing Khali to get his mighty hands on his retreating prey.
Edge vows to come back from his injury (VIDEO | PHOTOS) With uncharacteristic apprehension, The Rated-R Superstar said that he would do everything he could to come back from the torn Achilles tendon injury that has shelved him indefinitely, and that it could very well spell the end of his career. When his former partner, Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho emerged to shoot disdain and doubt upon him, Edge pledged that when he does come back to the ring, he will prove Chris Jericho and all other naysayers wrong.
The Hart Dynasty def. Cryme Tyme & Eve (PHOTOS) One day after Eve stopped Natalya from interfering in the Cryme Tyme vs. Hart Dynasty Match on WWE Superstars (Results), the Dungeon Diva executed an Anvil-like clothesline to pin her amidst mixed tag team action chaos.

Laylas Dance Interrupted (PHOTOS) Former Miami Heat dancer Layla had her homecoming dance suddenly interrupted by Ricky Ortiz, who once again attempted to bring his special brand of Rally Up! motivation to the WWE Universe.

- The recently signed Serena Deeb made her debut in Florida Championship Wrestling at last night's live event in Punta Gorda, Florida. Teaming with Maria and Angela Fong, the trio defeated Alicia Fox, Natalya and Layla in a six-Diva tag match. Deeb simply went under the name Serena in her WWE developmental debut.
- WWE officials offered Rob Conway a contract to return to the company to help mentor some of the younger wrestlers and add some depth to the roster, but turned it down. While Conway still wrestles on the indy scene, he has another job now and did not want to give it up.
-- Jillian Hall seems to have had to be dealing with an unknown injury/illness. She has been off the road with WWE but seems to be ready to return. She posted the following on her Twitter: I'm feeling so much better and ready to go back to work. I miss everyone!
Former WCW star Vampiro broke his back after jumping 15 feet from his bedroom window in Mexico following after a home invasion.
The Lucha Libre legend was sleeping in his Guadalajara home when several kidnappers broke in to his property. What's bizarre is police were nearby and confronted the gang while Vampiro was still asleep. He only jumped from the window when the police burst through his door.
He suffered four broken vertebrae in his middle and lower back and re-injured two herniated discs in his neck.

The reason why theres no prognosis on Edge is because theyre waiting for him to go back in for examination after a couple weeks. After he starts rehab, about 10 days later theyll see how hes responding and will have a better idea of when hell be able to return. Achilles tendon injuries are very serious and it could take up to a year for Edge to get back close to where he was before the tendon tore.
Abyss claims he has turned down several WWE offers Posted by Randy Gordon on 07/16/2009 at 07:01 PM
TNA wrestler Abyss says he has turned down three separate offers from the folks at WWE out of loyalty for the company that put him on international TV. Abyss, real name Chris Parks, says that WWEs interest level in signing him to a deal was high.
"I've had opportunities to go there," Abyss said on the U.K. Sun's WrestleCast show. "There was high interest from WWE, but I just haven't had any interest in going. I'm one of the originals, I've been with TNA since the one year anniversary of the company, and very few people in this business can say they've been there from the beginning."
- TNA Knockout Christy Hemme, who has been away from the company for some time due to injury, wrote the following recently on her official MySpace page: A little birdie told me that a certain firey redhead is coming back to kick some ASS! I will give you one guess as to who that might be Christy
Cryme Tyme (w/ Eve) def. The Hart Dynasty (w/ Natalya) Brie Bella (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Katie Lea Burchill Big Show def. United States Champion Kofi Kingston

Cryme Tyme (w/ Eve) def. The Hart Dynasty (w/ Natalya) (PHOTOS | WATCH) For the last few weeks, Cryme Tyme and The Hart Dynasty have been one upping each other in the ring, trying to prove who the better team is. Following an impressive victory tonight, JTG & Shad can celebrate being on top after JTG got a hot tag and left Tyson Kidd looking up at the lights with a modified backbreaker. Although, as these teams have shown each other, Cryme Tyme better keep their celebration to a minimum and keep their focus, or it will be David Hart Smith & Kidd celebrating next time.
Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio accepts Dolph Zigglers Night of Champions challenge (PHOTOS) With a hard-fought title defense in the books last Friday, Mysterio was attacked from behind by Dolph Ziggler and on WWE Superstars, that was all that was on The Master of the 619s mind. After a few moments, the Hollywood, Fla. native made his entrance, and then after a brief moment, enticed Mysterio to accept a challenge to defend the Intercontinental Title against Ziggler at Night of Champions. Accepting the challenge wasnt all Rey wanted to do, as he lured the young brash Superstar to ringside and quickly attacked him before Ziggler could finally escape to the back. Does Mysterio have Ziggler right where he wants him? Or is The Master of the 619 playing into the Hollywood, Fla, natives plans?
Brie Bella (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Katie Lea Burchill (PHOTOS | WATCH) Going one-on-one with any Superstar or Diva is quite a daunting task, and when it becomes two-on-one, the odds seem insurmountable; at least thats what Katie Lea Burchill has experienced as of late. When the English Diva seems to have the win in her hands, Brie & Nikki pull the all too familiar switch-a-roo leaving Katie back up against a fresh opponent. This week was no different either as after Brie was sent to the outside by Katie Lea, Nikki laid down next to her and claimed to be the real Brie. When the referee had to differentiate between which was which, it was Nikki who he thought was really Brie, which left Brie on the outside and Nikki, the fresh sister, on the inside to roll up Katie Lea for the win for Brie. If you think thats confusing, you should try being the one trying to fight against them.
Big Show def. United States Champion Kofi Kingston (PHOTOS | WATCH) In recent weeks, The Worlds Largest Athlete has been trying to make several different Superstars lives hell, including that of The Jamaican Superstar. After Kofi came to Evan Bournes aid on Raw, it was only a matter of time before Big Show was going to try to even the score, and with the two going one-on-one Thursday night, The Worlds Largest Athlete saw his opportunity to do just that. Despite fighting valiantly, there was no luck in this David vs. Goliath story for Kofi and when the end bell rang, it was Kingston incapacitated on the mat after Big Show flattened him with a vicious chokeslam. With Night of Champions just weeks away, were sure The Jamaican Superstar would love to concentrate on who he will be defending his gold against, but with no opponent yet announced, and Big Show tormenting him and his friends, that just doesnt seem to be in the cards.
- Lena Yada will be joining the all-female Wrestlicious promotion, thus becoming the first former WWE Diva to do so. She wrote "WRESTLICIOUS" on her MySpace page.
Bobby Lashley announced during an interview with ESPN Radio Wednesday that he officially signed with TNA Wrestling this past week and will be on hand for Sunday's Victory Road pay-per-view as well as next week's slate of Impact tapings.
During the interview, Lashley said: "I signed with TNA. It's a big thing because I am fighting and my main focus has been fighting and it still is. I left wrestling so abruptly a few years ago and the fans kind of threw their hands up. I left and they were like, man, what about us? I left at the top of my game. I still wanted to wrestle, but I wanted to fight, so it was like, how do you do both? I spoke with Dixie Carter, the owner of TNA, and she was really, really helpful and she wanted to give me an opportunity to give back to wrestling. With their schedule, they only do four days a month. This week, my schedule is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and I'm done for the month and can concentrate on my fighting. It works out real well."
