According to Dave Meltzer, it is believed that Straight Edge Society member Serena was released by WWE for "not living the gimmick" and having several "rough nights" leading up to her release.
Apparently, the skit with her almost being kicked out the SES group was WWE's real-life way of sending a warning message to her.
It is also believed that WWE hasn't posted a message on their website because she is set to appear on Friday's Smackdown, which was taped this past Wednesday night.

We kick Impact off with a recap of the formation of Fortune, and the events of last week. Backstage now Eric Bischoff pleads for him to go out to the ring, but Dixie said she wants to do it. Dixie in the ring now calls out Ric Flair. Flair in the ring now walks around Dixie and said she is drop dead gorgeous, almost to the point of being sultry, and why dont they go back to the hotel and settle this like adults. Dixie said she was excited about having the legend Ric Flair to mentor the young guys but he hasnt done that. Dixie then said he is to be treated the same as everyone else out at the back and he is suspended for 3 months. Ric said if she is not suspending Fortune she is not suspending him.

Flair gets pissed and takes his jacket off as Dixies husband enters the ring, Fortune pin him down and Flair has his belt off ready to whip him as Hogans music plays. Hogan comes out with Anderson, Pope, Angle and Hardy. Hogan in the ring now said him and Dixie were going to run this company 50/50 and he is not letting Flair off with a suspension. Flair said they are going to take the company over when he is ready, so Hogan said his four members against Hogans four.

Love said shes not always a little angel and sometimes she can be a real bitch, but they should just move on, Velvet agrees given the monster they created, Madison Rayne, and they should dominate the womens division again. Madison hits the ring with The Mystery Woman. Madison said if she wasnt such a lady she would barf in the middle of that ring right now. She said they will never come out to there music or refer to themselves as The Beautiful People cause her lawyer will see to it tomorrow. Madison said she is the only beautiful person in this ring right now and she is all natural unlike you two silicone whores! (Mike Tenay said she cant say silicone lol).

TNA Explosion last week had Ink Inc and London Brawling in singles competition seen as they lost the number one contenders match a week back. First match was excellent, Desmond Wolfe vs Jesse Neal. Jesse had next to no offense aside from hitting the spear so we got to see a lot of Wolfes arsenal which is nothing short of superb and its easy to see why he has such a strong fan base even given his hard heel persona. He finished the match with the Tower of London. In the other match Shannon Moore defeated Magnus with a top rope neckbreaker, not too bad of a match.
Report: Top stars unhappy with EV 2.0 storyline Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/25/2010 at 05:17 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
According to Dave Meltzer, there are top stars in TNA that feel it is a "big mistake" to have EV 2.0 as top babyfaces in the company. Several of the top stars were said to be against bringing the former ECW stars in as regulars and even doing the ECW reunion PPV in the first place.
It's possible that the Fortune attack on Hogan, Nash, Sting, and Jarrett was done as a backup plan in case things don't work out with EV 2.0.
Update on the status of Team 3D in TNA Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/25/2010 at 05:10 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
As reported earlier, Team 3D didn't appear at this week's TNA Impact tapings because their contracts have expired. There are people in WWE that have pitched the idea of the team making a return to the company. However, there are still some higher people in the company that don't like Brother Ray because he is the outspoken member of the team.
Meanwhile, sources within TNA expect them to sign a new deal and be part of the discussed Lethal Lockdown match at Bound For Glory.
William Regal def. Goldust Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft def. Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins Drew McIntyre def. Chris Masters
Dont know where to catch WWE Superstars? Find WGN America in your area. Can't see WWE Superstars on WGN America in your area? Stay with WWE.com for full results, photos and video clips of all the action.
Drew McIntyre def. Chris Masters (PHOTOS | WATCH) A week after he nearly had his ankle torn off by a vicious Jack Swagger, Chris Masters stepped in the ring with the underhanded Drew McIntyre. Quickly realizing his opponents vulnerability, The Scottish Superstar targeted Masters vulnerable ankle, but nearly got caught in the devastating Master Lock. But just when it looked like the hold was going to be cinched in, McIntyre managed to worm his way out and nail a devastating Future Shock DDT for an impressive victory.
Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft def. Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins (PHOTOS | WATCH) Ever since Bret Hart presented The Hart Dynasty with the brand new WWE Tag Team Championships, things have been heating up in the division as top duos have been gunning to grab those titles. Two of those hungry, young tandems squared off on WWE Superstars as Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins brought the fight to the energetic The Dude Busters. But while Archer & Hawkins have pulled off some dominant wins in recent weeks, they werent able to stop Caylen Croft & Trent Barreta tonight. With this win, the cocky SmackDown Superstars move one step closer to a WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity.
William Regal def. Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH) Although they have drastically different ring styles, Goldust and William Regal are two of WWEs most experienced and accomplished veterans. So it came as no surprise that a showdown between these two tough Superstars was nothing short of a mat clinic. Playing to his strengths, The Bizarre One used his unorthodox offense to throw Regal off his game. But The British Brawler countered with the brutal submission maneuvers he learned in the carnivals of Blackpool, England, to incapacitate Goldust. In the end, it was this destructive arsenal of wicked holds that gave the 2008 King of the Ring the victory.
Heat between two of the ECW originals Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/24/2010 at 04:20 PM
Todd Frizzell sent this in:
Recently Low Blow Radio was joined by former ECW original Balls Mahoney! Here are some highlights from the near 60 minute sit down interview...
When asked about TNA Hardcore Justice Balls said the following... "Tommy called me and asked if I knew about the rumors of the ECW reunion show. I said no because I don't read the internet much. I don't even have internet. Tommy asked me to appear at the show and I would be teaming with Axl. I have some issues with Axl so I was a bit apprehensive but I wouldn't pass up this opportunity for anything so I said of course I'll do it. I asked if it would be like One Night Stand 2006 where I get a 20 minute match with Tanaka and they come to be before the match and cut it down to 8 minutes along with all the great spots and waste Tanaka's talent, time, money, and sanity??? Tommy said no you are going to be yourself. This is going to be you looking up north and giving them the finger. So obviously I said yea. So I show up at the building excited and pumped! If you say the PPV you say Axl and I with our new gear. For once we looked like a real tag team. No ripped jeans or anything. So we went and did it. We went put there as a 3 man unit, referring to Bubba, Devon, and I, and did what we had to do and I think the fans went home happy. We should have came back for TV the next night but thanks to a certain somebody I was f***ed over once again. But overall I had a great time and was treated very, very well." When asked about possibly competing for TNA in the future as apart of EV2.0 Balls had the following to say (Also comments on being held back and screwed over by Axl Rotten)...
"I hope what Bubba, Devon, and I pulled off at the PPV was enough to save my ass for any work in the future. As I said I was f***ed over by a certain somebody but that's all I'm going to say about that at the current moment. I mean I'm also kind of nervous too. I have a wife, and a kid, and have to put food on the table and all this and that. I can't just keep working these indies. I think another thing is that the office doesn't understand my versatility. My amateur and actual wrestling ability. Just check out some classics I've had with Rob Van Dam in ECW. Speaks for itself. But nevertheless I hope to be a full time member of EV2.0 in TNA within the next month or so. This is really my only last opportunity to make some money and perform for a national audience again. I've just been f***ed over so many times dealing with Axl. I can honestly say now I will NEVER team with Axl Rotten again. If WWE or TNA called me up and said we want you to come in and team with Axl of course I'd have to say yes but otherwise it isn't ever going to happen again. I can't be his baby sitter anymore. I have a kid now. I have a family. I'm not going to deal with what I dealt with regarding Axl at Hardcore Justice at 12:00, 1:30, 4:00, and then again right before the match just to make sure the match would still be on. Axl has f***ed me over for the last time."
When asked if he thinks it would be successful for TNA to bring back a version of ECW Balls said the following... "Yes. If it was done right. If done intelligently it would be a money making thing for TNA and the wrestlers alike. They could do what WWE failed to do." Other topics included...

Update on Lashley's condition after MMA loss Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/22/2010 at 04:41 AM
Following his loss at Saturday night's Strikeforce event, Bobby Lashley was taken to a local hospital.
According to PWTorch.com, he was extremely dehydrated after the fight but ended up being released from the hospital. At first, there was fear his condition was worse and he would need to stay in the hospital overnight.
FRESNO, Calif. With just one week to go until the NXT season two finale, the last three NXT Rookies had their knowledge of WWE history put to the test for an exclusive WWE.com takeover at the most critical moment as the WWE Universe prepares to help determine WWEs next breakout star.
Dashing Cody Rhodes def. MVP (PHOTOS | WATCH) With both of their Rookies eliminated the previous week on WWE NXT, MVP and Dashing Cody Rhodes were done talking and ready to get down to business inside of the ring. While Rhodes initially denied Kavals challenge, he accepted The Ballin Superstars request and the second-generation competitor was out to silence his critics and prove that he is on a higher level than both the NXT Rookies and his fellow Pros. The execution of a jarring Cross Rhodes gave The Dashing Superstar a convincing victory over MVP and suggested that perhaps Rhodes can actually back up his endless talk.
Kaval won the WWE Trivia Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) In order to be a successful WWE Superstar, one must appreciate and acknowledge the history of what has come before them. There is no history richer than that of WWE, and the NXT Rookies knowledge of Superstars and events of days past was put to the test.
While the son of Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig, Michael McGillicutty, seemed to be the early favorite, Kaval quickly demonstrated his familiarity with Superstars and WWE moments, past and present. The two Rookies remained neck and neck while varsity letterman Alex Riley would essentially flunk, answering only one question correctly. At the end of the competition, Kaval scored the most points to secure a victory. With his win, the NXT Rookie earned a special feature on WWE.com beginning at midnight ET, following the conclusion of WWE NXT.
Kaval challenged Dashing Cody Rhodes (PHOTOS | WATCH) After last weeks shocking double elimination, the three remaining NXT Rookies Kaval, Alex Riley and Michael McGillicutty have very few chances left to prove why they are WWEs next breakout star. NXT host Matt Striker asked each of the Rookies how it felt to be a finalist in the competition. When Kaval took the microphone, he first thanked the WWE Universe and then immediately set his sights on Dashing Cody Rhodes, who assaulted the NXT Rookie following Husky Harris elimination last week.
Kaval challenged Rhodes to a match, but the SmackDown Superstar told the Rookie that they were not on the same level and denied the request. This prompted WWE Pro MVP to confront Rhodes and issue his own challenge for later in the evening, which the Dashing Superstar accepted.
Tune in live to WWE NXT for the season two finale and be sure to cast your vote beginning at 12 noon ET for the NXT Rookie you believe is WWE's next breakout star.
Bobby Lashley loses for the first time in MMA Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/21/2010 at 10:58 PM
Former TNA star Bobby Lashley tasted his first MMA defeat at tonight's Strikeforce event. Chad Griggs defeated Lashley via TKO (referee stoppage) at 5:00 of round 2. The fight was stopped after the end of the round.
The win for Griggs is considered to be a huge upset.
Traci Brooks comments on Playboy shoot and more Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/20/2010 at 04:28 PM
Traci Brooks has been in our crazy business for the better part of a decade. But, she burst onto the scene in TNA over 7 years ago and was one of the longest running TNA Knockouts ever. In the Fall of 2009, she appeared in on Playboys website with a pictoral that 6,000,000 had the chance to see.
She left TNA since that time and hasnt opened up much as to why. That is, until The Interactive Interview asked her to come back on the show!
To listen to the entire interview and our brand new interview with Bill Eadie AKA Demolition Ax, visit http://www.WrestlingEpicenter.com. If you like what we do, check out our store and help keep us going and free by supporting us!
TRACI BROOKS
- Our interview with Traci Brooks begins with a discussion about being a Canadian working in the States and all the paperwork & complications involved. Traci does clarify that her having to work on this had nothing to do with her leaving TNA. She says that everything is fine, straight, & up to date.
- Traci loved doing Playboy, says it was a great experience, & was treated very well. In regards to not getting into the magazine, she puts to rest a couple of rumors. She says that she was not supposed to get the cover, so she wasnt actually bumped off by Marge Simpson. Her being taken out of the magazine was to make room for a tribute to Farah Fawcett, who had just past away in the months leading up to the magazines release.
- She also says that being posted on the net was really good for her since magazine subscriptions are down and internet subscriptions are way up. She was also happy that more of her pictures got to be seen.
- There was a rumor that a new editor took over for Playboy and didnt want wrestling women involved with Playboy, and Traci hopes that its not true since it is good publicity for the wrestling company & a great experience for the girls that get to do it.
- She didnt get to meet Huge Heffner, but was treated extremely well from start to finish. She also says that the last day of the shoot was her birthday and they gave her a nice party.
- Traci was disappointed that she wasnt used more by TNA during the time of her shoot. Playboy advertised for TNA, and said she was going to appear at Bound for Glory, and she wasnt featured. She has no hard feelings towards TNA & says they were her family, but wishes things had been handled better.
- Right now, shes having a lot of fun doing the Independents & Conventions. She points out that when she started in 2001, it was mostly just her and a handful of others, but now the women in wrestling are far more common.
- Shes never worked with Mickie James and would love to make that match happen. As for going up to WWE with her friends Gail Kim & Beth Phoenix, she says that its not something she is interested in. She also says shes sure there would be no hard feelings over the Cookie Gate scene from 2004 as it wasnt really that big of a deal.
- When talking about the current state of the Knockouts Division, she is a little surprised over the girls theyve released. She feels like its a mostly blondes now and they need more variety & diversity in talents & characters. She also doesnt thing the division is deep enough at the moment to support a set of Tag Titles.
Seven wrestlers removed from TNA's roster Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/20/2010 at 03:27 AM
In addition to Homicide, it would appear that both Tomko and Rosie Lottalove have parted ways with TNA Wrestling as their respective profiles were removed from the company websites roster page Thursday. All three were sparingly used in recent months.
In Homicides case, he noted on his social networking accounts earlier in the day that he had parted ways with the organization. Meanwhile, Lottaloves photo gallery was removed from the Knockouts media section.
Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, Daniels and ODB were also removed from the page, though their respective TNA departures were noted months ago.
Homicide finished with TNA Wrestling Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/19/2010 at 02:24 PM
Homicide announced on his Facebook page today he's left TNA Wrestling.
PWInsider.com is reporting that Homicide was released from the company. He hadn't been seen much on television much since the January 4th Monday Impact when he got stuck on top of the cage.
Homicide wrote on Twitter:
"my TNA days is over, thank u for the staff members and the boys and girls in the locker room, had a great run, bbllaattt187 for life!"
Former WWE Diva Katie Lea Burchill worked a dark match prior to tonight's iMPACT! taping from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Working under the name Kat Larue, the former WWE performer lost to Madison Rayne. Along with six other wrestlers, she was released from her WWE contract on April 22, 2010. Her ninety no-compete clause had recently expired.
Edge def. R-Truth Chris Jericho def. The Great Khali Divas Champion Melina def. Jillian United States Champion The Miz def. John Cena by Disqualification Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. The Usos Randy Orton def. Ted DiBiase and John Morrison in a Triple Threat Match WWE Champion Sheamus def. Zack Ryder
LOS ANGELES - During Monday Night Raw, the City of Angels played host to a pair of WWE's heavenly bodies, a contingent of deadly sinners and a half dozen Superstars ready to clash in a battle of biblical proportions at the Night of Champions pay-per-view.
WWE Champion Sheamus def. Zack Ryder; Raws General Manager announced Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions (PHOTOS | WATCH: PART 1 | PART 2) The Celtic Worrier? Perhaps WWE Champion Sheamus was too concerned about facing one of WWEs elite Superstars or maybe hes got a soft spot for Long Island. Whatever the reason, the Irishman chose to defend his title against Zack Ryder, not on pay-per-view, but on Raw.
A grateful Ryder thanked Sheamus for the opportunity before having his face kicked in and getting pinned inside of a mere 11 seconds. Woo, Woo, Woo. You know it!
After the match, there were several understandably irate Superstars, including Wade Barrett. The leader of The Nexus informed The Celtic Warrior that at Night of Champions, he would invoke the title opportunity he earned after winning season one of WWE NXT. Before the rivalry between England and Ireland could escalate, the Raw General Manager had a few points to make.
Sheamus would indeed defend his title against Barrett, the GM assured. However, he would also defend against four other Superstars in a Six Pack Challenge. Rounding out the field, the GM chose Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Edge and John Cena. As each man stood wearily in the ring, the mistrust proved overwhelming and the six set out attacking one another, leaving only The Viper to stand tall after an emphatic RKO to Cena. The tension between the sextet assures that Night of Champions is also sure to be a night to remember.
Randy Orton def. Ted DiBiase and John Morrison in a Triple Threat Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) That throne must really be comfy. After all, WWE Champion Sheamus, who has a penchant for involving himself where he doesnt belong, actually stayed out of the Triple Threat Match between Randy Orton, John Morrison and Ted DiBiase.
The triumvirate of Superstars competed for the potential opportunity to be chosen by the Irishman to battle him in a title match at Night of Champions. During the bout, Sheamus actually exited to deliberate before announcing who he would face in four weeks. When the carnage was complete, it was The Viper who had snaked past his competition to secure the win.
Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. The Usos (PHOTOS |WATCH) One of the most unlikely pairings in WWE has turned out to be one of the most successful. Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov have scored another victory on the world stage, defeating The Usos, Jimmy and Jey.
After the international triumph, Tamina halted a retaliatory strike aimed squarely at her crush, Santino. As she walked off with the Usos, the daughter of Superfly Jimmy Snuka blew a passionate kiss to The Italian Stallion. Hmmm
United States Champion The Miz def. John Cena by Disqualification (PHOTOS |WATCH) When asked about The Mizs attack on Daniel Bryan last week, John Cena called it petty and classless. Needless to say, the United States Champion was not amused. When the two faced off, animosity permeated the arena. While Mr. Money in the Bank more than held his own against one of WWEs premier Superstars, once Cena found his footing, Miz found an escape hatch and fled the ring.
Unfortunately for Miz, Daniel Bryan appeared on the scene and was more than happy to escort him back to the ring. After tossing the U.S. Champion back inside, where Cena administered an Attitude Adjustment, Daniel Bryan locked a submission hold onto his nemesis. So intense was the hold that it required five referees to finally break it.
Raws GM lifted ban on The Nexus competing for titles (WATCH) As WWE Champion Sheamus rested regally atop his throne, Raws anonymous General Manager shook him from his respite. The Nexus had filed out to join the Irishman on stage when the GM informed the group of outlaws that he was lifting the ban on them competing for titles. As a result, Nexus leader Wade Barrett eagerly informed Sheamus that the truce between he and the group was effectively over.
Divas Champion Melina def. Jillian (PHOTOS | WATCH) Thankfully, Jillian had no reason to break out in song. After pulling out a win for her team last week, the tone-deaf Diva went head-to-head against Divas Champion Melina. Sadly for her, though, the Latina lovely appeared more focused and notched another victory.
After the match, Womens Co-Champions, Layla & Michelle McCool popped up on the TitanTron to mock Melina and inform her that the two will visit next week for Raws 900th episode celebration to make her an offer that is simply flawless.
Chris Jericho def. The Great Khali (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the quest to battle Sheamus at Night of Champions, Chris Jericho faced down the towering presence of The Great Khali. By targeting his attack on Khalis knee, which had been battered by The Nexus two weeks prior, the self-important Superstar managed to topple The Punjabi Playboy with the Walls of Jericho. As he addressed the WWE Champion, though, informing him of his status as the first-ever Undisputed Champion, Khali knocked Jericho from his turnbuckle perch to the arena floor.
Edge def. R-Truth (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the first match of the evening to help determine which Superstar will face Sheamus at Night of Champions, The Rated-R Superstar laid out a convincing case. Edge faced off against the dynamism of R-Truth. The two had traded heated words with one another in the run-up to SummerSlam, but in this exchange, it was Edge who would prevail.
Afterward, The Ultimate Opportunist reminded the WWE Champion that he is a nine-time champion, and bragged that until Sheamus defeats him, he hasnt defeated anyone.
Raw General Manager allowed WWE Champion Sheamus to choose his opponent at Night of Champions (PHOTOS) After a self-serving tirade about the VOS, or Victims of Sheamus, as he referred to some of his past opponents, The Celtic Warrior boasted that he would emerge victorious at one of WWEs most prestigious pay-per-views, Night of Champions.
After listening to the Irishmans rant, Raws anonymous General Manager piped up.
