What Happened After Fatal 4 Way Went Off the Air Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/21/2010 at 11:05 AM
After the PPV went off the air, John Cena took the house mic and addressed the crowd. Cena said that it appears there is a very black cloud shadowing over The WWE.
Cena said he will go home angry and upset, not because Sheamus is the champion because titles come and go. He's angry that the company and universe he fights for have been taken over on television and now a PPV. He said they think they can do whatever they want. He said he's still here and so are the fans.
Cena said there are fans here who have strong opinions on his ability to wrestle. He said all the noise is the noise everyone in the company have fought for over the years. He said that no matter what you think of him, he can fight. He promised to take on all seven each week until every single one of them fall.
Cena said he believes in WWE and all the stars who have earned the right to be here and he will not have that taken away. He said he will stay and fight and tomorrow is another day to fight. He said he prays those sons of bitches show up tomorrow, threw down the mic and left.
Several WWE superstars react to Fatal 4 Way PPV Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 06/21/2010 at 12:04 AM
Several WWE stars took to their Twitter after tonight's WWE Fatal 4 Way PPV. Here is what they wrote:
Chris Jericho: "Had the best match I've had in months tonight. Bourne is the real deal...and I must destroy him."
Savannah: "Was great to interview the Unified Tag Team Champs, The Hart Dynasty tonite @ F4W!! :) congrats to @aliciafoxy for becoming Divas champ! :) "
Matt Hardy: "Thanks so much for the love tonight NY! Drew got exactly what he deserved & will continue to until I'm reinstated to SD.."
Bella Twins: "Amazing PPV! But honestly what are these NXT Guy's deals! Hope they get a true beatin' tomorrow night"
Kofi Kingston: "What a PPV! Everyone who was there should check themselves for burns, because that crowd was on FIRE! Boom Squad was def in the building!!!"
Jim Ross: "Crazy, abrupt ending @ Fatal 4 Way. Big nite 4 Evan Bourne. Sheamus & Rey win titles. Alicia Fox w/ surprising title win. Interesting nite."
Zack Ryder: "Beat MVP tonight on Long Island in the Fatal 4 Way bonus match! WWWYKI"
- As noted before, Shad Gaspard has been spending a lot of time in WWE developmental lately. The plan after WrestleMania was for Shad to be pushed as a top heel on SmackDown as officials were high on his size and the fact that he can move well and talk. Shad has been sent to FCW because he wasn't getting over.
- One of the stranger things about Daniel Bryan's WWE release is that Vince McMahon personally fired him via telephone late Friday night of last week, instead of having someone like John Laurinaitis do it. WWE creative and company executives were said to have no idea that any trouble with Danielson was even brewing. Some knew that there was heat from the tie incident on RAW but nobody expected that this would happen.
- Kurt Angles body is still pretty banged up and hes taking a few more weeks off to let his body heal. If hes able to return in time for Victory Road on July 11th, he will wrestle against either Samoa Joe or The Pope as part of his mission to beat all of TNAs Top 10 Contenders.

MANCHESTER, N.H. With the first NXT Poll less than a week away, several NXT Rookies did everything in their power to prove to the WWE Universe and the WWE Pros that they have what it takes to become WWEs Next Breakout Star.
The NXT Rookies offer their closing arguments (PHOTOS | WATCH) Before the first NXT Poll next week, the NXT Rookies pleaded their cases to the WWE Pros and the WWE Universe, each explaining why he should be WWEs Next Breakout Star. But NXT Rookie Husky Harris said he wouldnt need 45 seconds to plead his case. The third-generation competitor took a page out of the book of his WWE Pro, Cody Rhodes, and shockingly attacked WWE NXT host Matt Striker, a move that garnered congratulations from Rhodes.
WWE Universe, you will help decide who will be WWEs Next Breakout Star. Return to WWE.com next Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET and make your vote count in the NXT Poll!
Cody Rhodes def. Lucky Cannon in a Five-Minute Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) While berating Lucky Cannon at the end of last weeks WWE NXT, WWE Pro Cody Rhodes told the NXT Rookie hed be lucky to last five minutes with him. So this week, the WWE Pro put a determined Cannon to the test in a Five-Minute Challenge, meaning he didnt have to defeat Rhodes, but merely last five minutes in the ring with him. But Luckys luck ran out before the five minutes were up, as the former Tag Team Champion dominated the match and defeated him in just 3:58 with a Cross Rhodes as the WWE Pros looked on. (WATCH: Meet Lucky Cannon)
Eli Cottonwood def. Kaval (PHOTOS | WATCH) With a clear size advantage, the 7-footer, Eli Cottonwood, defeated fellow NXT Rookie, Kaval, who stands significantly shorter at just 5 feet 8 inches. The quick and nimble 174-pound Kaval put up a noble fight against the 313-pound Cottonwood, as his WWE Pros, Womens Champion Layla and her bestie, Michelle McCool, looked on. But Cottonwood simply dominated his much smaller opponent. WWE Pro John Morrison congratulated his undefeated protégé, Cottonwood, after the match, while Layla and Michelle presented Kaval with a personalized pink Property of Lay-Cool shirt. With his win, Cottonwood upped his record to 2-0, while Kaval remained winless at 0-2.
Michael McGillicutty def. Titus ONeil (PHOTOS | WATCH) Michael McGillicutty added a second win to his undefeated streak with a victory over fellow NXT Rookie, Titus ONeil. With his WWE Pro, Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston, in his corner, the third-generation competitor pinned former footballer ONeil, who also had his WWE Pro, Zack Ryder, at ringside. It was surely another emotional win for McGillicutty, who told the WWE Universe he called his mother whose maiden name was McGillicutty after his first win on WWE NXT last week. McGillicuttys record increased to 2-0, while ONeil remained winless with an 0-2 record. (WATCH: Meet Titus O"Neil)
The Miz & Alex Riley def. MVP & Showtime Percy Watson (PHOTOS | WATCH) Thanks in part to the return of his WWE Pro, The Miz, this week, NXT Rookie Alex Riley continued his hot streak on WWE NXT. As the WWE Pros looked on, the energetic NXT Rookie Percy Watson joined his WWE Pro, MVP, in the tag team match, and dominated The Miz, almost earning the win. But the United States Champion turned the momentum in his favor and hit a Skull Crushing Finale on Showtime for the win. With his tag team victory, Rileys record moved up to 2-0, while Watsons record fell to 1-1.
Also, the newest member of the WWE NXT broadcast team, Ashley Valence, informed the NXT Rookies that its their last chance to make a first impression on the WWE Pros and the WWE Universe.

Chris Jericho def. Evan Bourne Natalya vs. Tamina ended in a No Contest John Morrison def. Zack Ryder The Great Khali & Eve def. Primo & Divas Champion Alicia Fox John Cena vs. WWE Champion Sheamus ended in a No Contest
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. One night after the seven season one NXT Rookies decimated the WWE landscape at Fatal 4-Way, the pugnacious pack once again tore into the Raw roster to make their presence felt even going so far as to attack The Chairman himself, Mr. McMahon!
John Cena vs. WWE Champion Sheamus ended in a No Contest; Mr. McMahon attacked by NXT Rookies (PHOTOS | WATCH: Part 1 | Part 2) Will the season one NXT Rookies ever relent? Even after landing the contracts they were clearly determined to secure, the brash bunch still appear ravenous. During the nights main event match, pitting WWE Champion Sheamus against John Cena with Mr. McMahon acting as special guest referee, the bold band of Superstars rushed the ring. Despite The Chairmans strong guarantee of retribution for anyone who interferes, the NXT seven ambushed Cena.
And while conspiracy theorists within the WWE Universe had pegged Mr. McMahon as the potential mastermind behind the devious actions of the season one NXT Rookies - seemingly bolstered when he accepted culpability for several of their attacks - those theories were quickly scuttled when the seven trained their fire on The Chairman himself! Mr. McMahon announced that the new GM would offer up a revelation on the next Raw before he received a brutal beating at the hands of the Rookies. Is there nothing this defiant band of outlaws wont do in order to get what they want?
Rob Zombie to act as Raws special guest host next week WWE Universe, let there be rock. Oh, and there will be. Be sure to tune in and turn it up next week when rock monster and horror film director Rob Zombie shakes things up as special guest host.
United States Champion The Miz interrupted Randy Orton; Edge attacked Orton (PHOTOS | WATCH) When Randy Orton addressed the season one NXT Rookies, he vowed revenge on each of them for, as he saw it, costing him the WWE Title at Fatal 4-Way the previous night. As he lambasted the NXT seven, newly minted United States Champion The Miz cut him short.
The self-proclaimed Awesome One berated The Viper and told him to get in line for the WWE Title before leveling a sneak attack. While Orton countered Mizs strike, Edge quickly joined the fray. The Ultimate Opportunist ran in and rammed The Apex Predator with a Spear before whispering to his rival that now, the real fun begins.
The Great Khali & Eve def. Primo & Divas Champion Alicia Fox (PHOTOS | WATCH) One night after capturing the Divas Title at Fatal 4-Way and Alicia Fox already thinks shes royalty. A royal pain perhaps. The new Divas Champion teamed with Primo against The Great Khali & Eve. Thinking shes above it all, Fox simply abandoned her partner in the ring, allowing The Punjabi Playboy to devastate Primo for the win.
John Morrison def. Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | WATCH) There was a slight change of plans for John Morrison. The Shaman of Sexy was scheduled to compete against Ted DiBiase, but The Fortunate Son, with his new assistant Maryse in tow, informed Morrison that he had other plans for the night. Ahem.
Accompanied by his season two NXT Rookie Eli Cottonwood, Morrison would instead compete against Zack Ryder. With Ryders own season two NXT Rookie, Titus ONeil, looking on, The Guru of Greatness channeled his attack and pinned Ryder for the victory.
Natalya vs. Tamina ended in a No Contest; NXT Rookies apologized to the WWE Universe (PHOTOS: Part 1 | Part 2 | WATCH) After dedicating her match against Tamina to her uncle Bret, Natalya was livid when the proceedings were cut short by the season one NXT Rookies. The groups de facto leader, Wade Barrett, began to apologize for their actions, which led to Bret Harts dismissal, when David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd attacked in a quest for vengeance. The Unified Tag Team Champions put up a valiant fight but were subdued by the six other NXT Rookies.
The NXT Rookies then surprised the WWE Universe by offering apologies for their actions and attempting to explain why theyve been behaving like a pack of rabid hyenas. Several of the Rookies stated that they did what they did not out of anger but out of love of WWE. Describing his group's bond - a "nexus" - Barrett then emphasized that his loyalty propelled him to join his colleagues and that he had also been granted his future pay-per-view title match again by the mystery GM.
Ted DiBiase fired Virgil, hired Maryse (WATCH) Ted DiBiase knows money and looks. After a dismal performance at Fatal 4-Way for he and bodyguard Virgil, The Fortunate Son canned his manservant and opted for an upgrade. After Virgils dismissal, DiBiase introduced Maryse as his new source for protection.
Chris Jericho def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH) Its been a rough month for Chris Jericho. After falling short in his matches for the past several weeks, Jerichos humiliation was punctuated at Fatal 4-Way when he dropped his bout to Evan Bourne.
On Raw, he demanded a rematch. If he lost, Jericho promised he would leave WWE. And while it looked a little touch and go there for a while, the wily Superstar managed to squeak out a victory. After the match, a still steaming Jericho leveled the high-flyer with an underhanded shove.
Mr. McMahon fired Bret Hart, named new GM; WWE Title Match main event announced (PHOTOS | WATCH) Mr. McMahon giveth, Mr. McMahon taketh away. After assuming the Raw General Manager position last month, Bret Hart found himself unceremoniously fired by The Chairman on Raw for not attending the previous nights Fatal 4-Way. Harts absence, Mr. McMahon reasoned, is what allowed the season one NXT Rookies to run wild, interfering in the WWE Championship Match and permitting Sheamus to take advantage of the chaos to prevail. Mr. McMahon then informed the WWE Universe that a new, anonymous GM would take the reins, emailing announcer Michael Cole his dictates.
The mystery GM was quick to act. His first order of business? Hiring all seven NXT Rookies. Then, in the wake of new WWE Champion Sheamuss victory, the Raw GM also allowed John Cena to invoke his rematch clause, meaning that he will face the Irish champion for the title the main event. And to ensure there will be no interference, Mr. McMahon will act as special guest referee!

More on Batista; not a fan of the PG era? Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 06/19/2010 at 12:26 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
As noted before, Batista was at this week's Strikeforce MMA show and made it clear that he left WWE because he was unhappy with the direction of the company. Batista specifically mentioned the PG aspect and how he got interested in wrestling by watching guys like Steve Austin and The Rock during the Attitude Era. Dave Meltzer asked Batista if he would do something like Chris Jericho and return in a year or two. Batista said he didn't want to be compared to Jericho and said he had no plans on returning but did not rule out a return one day.
Batista joked that he was in Los Angeles looking for work and said he's open for offers, be it MMA or acting. Batista has had discussions about doing a reality TV show.
Apparently Batista has been approached with an offer by a non-major MMA group. Word is that it's a big money offer and is for two fights, likely pay-per-view events and the first opponent would be a well-known former headliner. This is the same offer that Batista hinted around about when he was leaving WWE. Batista has been training regularly at the Affliction gym and has dropped considerable weight since leaving WWE. Most believe that a MMA career for Batista is highly unlikely, given his age and experience, among other things.
Batista's contract with WWE has expired and he is a free agent. TNA did make an offer to Batista but with the large amount of money they have spent on bringing in other big names recently, they couldn't come close to matching what he had been earning in WWE.
Real Reason Batista Quit WWE Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/18/2010 at 01:22 PM
- As noted before, former WWE Superstar Batista was at last night's Strikeforce MMA show in Los Angeles.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer asked Batista why he left WWE. Batista said he was sick and tired of WWE's direction and had to get out. He said that it wasn't the kind of wrestling he grew up watching and wasn't the product that he had always enjoyed.
Batista didn't rule out a return to WWE but did not seem in a hurry to work with the company again. Batista, who has lost some weight since leaving WWE, said he was out in Los Angeles looking for work. He was seen talking with Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker but The Animal entering the MMA world to fight seems highly unlikely.
A video highlighting the Slammiversary VIII pay-per-view aired and we cut to a close up of Eric Bischoff backstage in his office. He says that everyone in TNA can agree that being in TNA is an honor. The camera zooms out to show the TNA World Tag Team Championships on his desk. He says the Band is stripped of the Tag Titles; He wishes Hall the best in the future and hopes to see him back. He says the winner of the tournament will face the Motor City Machine Guns at Victory Road for the vacant belts ((Jarretts Jab Im glad they arent ignoring the fact the Guns won a #1 Contenders match at Sacrifice.

He says the Horsemen were the best stable of all time because they were the best at whatever they did whether it was wrestling or making love to the ladies. He tells AJ that Arn Anderson would grab that skinny kid from the audience and stomp on his neck. He tells Kaz that Barry Windham would snap him in half. He tells Beer Money that he loves them and there the future of wrestling but Tully Blanchard and Barry Windman would eat them for breakfast. He says that Desmond Wolfe is the Lex Luger of the group; He thinks hes a big shot, but hes nothing. ((Jarretts Jab Wow. What a way to build the next big heel stable in TNA BY TALKING DOWN ALL OF THE MEMEBERS!!)) Flair says its time for a change and then starts to get on AJ for losing to Jay Lethal at Slammiversary. He says AJ committed Suicide by losing to piss ant from New Jersey and rags on him until Lethal comes out to his music in a suit. He WHOOOOs and asks Did I hear that punk right there in the ring talk about the Four Horsemen? He says that the Four Horsemen are the greatest faction to ever grace Gods Green Earth. He also says that the Horsemen took a dump in the ring and thats what they left. Lethal says hes run the road with the Horsemen, and the guys in the ring are no Horsemen. Flair gets so mad he takes his coat off and throws it into the audience and throws his shoe at Lethal. Lethal tells Ric to watch this and he throws his coat on the ramp and struts before dropping an elbow on it. Ric Flair and Jay Lethal WHOOOOO! at each other before Flair yelled You cant be me.

We go back to the ring with Douglas Williams, who is still the X-Division Champion, who says that Slammiversary was a time for celebration, but a time for mourning as well, as the X-Division as we knew it is dead because he killed it with one spectacular flying maneuver.

We got back to the ring with Angelina Love, who says shes been sitting out with an injury for the last six weeks, and since injuries can end it at any time, shes not going to waste any more time.

Jarrett walked away and left Sting standing in the ring ((Jarretts Jab A very great promo. But Jarrett Jeff Jarrett is fighting for the guy that made him clean bathrooms and flip burgers.

WWE Champion John Cena has said kind things about Bryan Danielson on his Twitter account, but not all WWE wrestlers are following suit.
Dolph Ziggler, for instance, had some not-so-nice things to say.
"Why would i sign a petition to bring back someone who never even made it to the WWE roster??? Idiots...," said Ziggler regarding an online petition Cena--and many fans--signed to reinstate Danielson.
He added, "I guess if WWE had a 130 pound weight class, i would cut down and BEAT daniel bryanson, but oh wait, i cant he doesnt work here! Hey, maybe all you internet 'smart guys' can pay bryanson's salary in internet bucks, oh wait, they dont exist, just like bryanson...."
