WWE announced that D-Lo Brown had been signed to a contract on June 5, 2008.

HOUSTON SmackDown hit the stage with a new look and a new sound after the 2008 WWE Draft sent the likes of WWE Champion Triple H and Hall of Fame commentator Jim Ross to the blue brand. Still, the night featured a familiar sight: Batista hoisting the World Heavyweight Championship in front of the WWE Universe.
Arguably the Draft pick who made the most waves on Mondays edition of Raw, Triple H kicked off the evening with a formal introduction. It didnt take long for World Heavyweight Champion Edge to stir up some trouble, perhaps already playing mind games with The Game. It took even less time for Batista to rush to ringside and spear the title holder after The King of Kings cast him from the squared circle. The Animal grabbed Edges gold and raised it alongside SmackDowns newest Superstar.
That image would be similar after the main event match between Batista and Umaga. The contest wouldnt reach a conclusion before Edge, Chavo Guerrero, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder all joined in to tame the Animal.
Triple H returned Batistas favor from earlier that night, climbing into the ring and knocking the Samoan Bulldozer from the top of the turnbuckle for an earth-shattering fall. Between The Game and Batista, the squared circle was cleared out in a matter of seconds, leaving the WWE Champion and the hopeful World Heavyweight Champion to celebrate.
Edges night wasnt completely unsuccessful, however. The Ultimate Opportunist took on new ECW Superstar United States Champion Matt Hardy in a non-title Champion vs. Champion bout. Making good on his nickname, Edge seized the opportunity when Hardy was distracted. The United States Champion was left immobile after a devastating spear, allowing Hardy only to wait for the inevitable pin.
Hawkins & Ryder were also involved earlier in the evening. The duo took on the father-son pair of Finlay & Hornswoggle. The Irishmen proved to be too much for the Rated-R enthusiasts, as Hornswoggle capitalized and pinned Hawkins for the win. WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison came to ringside, but it wasnt to congratulate the pair on their win. The two tag teams will go to battle at Night of Champions, Finlay & Hornswoggle hoping to find gold at the end of the rainbow and Miz & Morrison hoping to protect theirs.
The WWE Universe got another Night of Champions preview when ECW Champion Kane & Big Show faced Mark Henry & Montel Vontavious Porter in tag team action. The three giants involved are all set to fight for the ECW Title in a Triple Threat Match at the pay-per-view, but its not hard to tell they are chomping at the bit. At the conclusion of the contest, MVP tried walking back to the locker room after struggling in the ring. Henry wouldnt have any of it, though, and he took his partner and tossed him back into the squared circle. The Ballin Superstar became the victim of a vicious chokeslam and a pin, courtesy of the Big Red Machine.
Six other competitors wanting a title taste fought it out on Friday night, as well. Maryse, Victoria & Natalya shined against Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly & Cherry. SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero has yet to make a decision about who will take on Natalya in the first ever Diva Championship Match. If Friday served as advantageous for anyone, Maryse offered up a fine performance on her way to pinning Cherry to earn her team the victory.
Rounding out the night, Vladimir Kozlov continued his dominating career, making an example of Domino in one-on-one action.
Make sure to catch Sundays action to find out if Batista will soon hold the World Heavyweight Champion. Watch Night of Champions, Sunday at 8/7 CT, only on pay-per-view.
Rey Mysterio was not happy about his move over to RAW, reports prowrestling.NET. According to their sources, Rey really liked the fact that the SmackDown! brand had more of a Latino demographic. The company also didn't inform him of which brand he was headed to ahead of time and like many of the guys who were drafted, he leaves behind many friends.
Although he should be happy about his move to Raw, prowrestling.NET reports that Batista may not have known about his move to Raw either, like many thought he might.
Triple H appears to be the only person who was told in advance about his move.
Rey Mysterio says he expects to return to the ring the first or second week in July. In a video interview with the Mirror in the U.K. published this week, Rey said he's recovered faster than expected from major bicep surgery, but he wants to feel comfortable with his condition before returning to the ring. "It seems like my recovery has been really good," Rey said, "even better than expected; an incredible recovery."
TNA WRESTLING "IMPACT!" RESULTS FOR JUNE 26, 2008 By Charles Rice
The Phenomenal AJ Styles and TNA high-flyer Consequences Creed started the night off in exciting fashion. In a match that pitted the two former training buddies against each other, there were tons of high flying moves and counters on one another. In the end it was Styles who picked up the victory after he hit the Styles Clash on Creed.
AJs night was far from over though. Just after his match ended, Jeremy Borash came down and informed Styles that Kurt was in the parking lot waiting for Karens arrival. With that, Styles took off running for the parking lot. After a commercial break cameras caught up with the Phenomenal one in the parking lot as Kurt was being held back by security from AJ and Karen. AJ then demanded that Karen stay in the locker room with him because he didnt want Kurt to get her.
Back in the iMPACT! Zone it was time for one of the nights featured contests. Brother Ray was taking on The Instant Classic Christian Cage. Before the match even began, Brother Ray said that he and Brother Devon had taken out Rhino and tonight they would do the same to Cage, promising he was going to do something that had never been done in wrestling before.
At the beginning of the match it looked like Cage was out to make Brother Ray eat his words. It was all Cage from the get go. That is until Team 3Ds sidekick Johnny Devine came out welding a kendo stick. Still, Cage was able to knock Devine out of the ring and avoid certain damage. However, this was just the distraction Brother Ray needed. Grabbing the kendo stick, he cracked it over the back of Cage causing him to go down. The match was called a disqualification but that didnt stop Brother Ray who was just getting started. Signaling to the back, he called out Brother Devon and he came out with a glass table. In one of the more gruesome scenes in wrestling history, Brother Ray with the help of Devon and Devine, power bombed Cage through the glass table. With glass shattered everywhere and Cage laid out, it looked as if Brother Ray had made good on his promise.
In the back, Borash was interviewing Nash on his big match with Booker T for later in the night. The interview didnt get very far before it was interrupted by TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Samoa Joe. Once again the champ and Nash exchange words. As the tension continued to rise between them Nash promised that he would show Joe that it is a mental game and not a physical one tonight.
It was time for Awesome Kong to continue to her open challenge to the fans. In a quick showing she made this weeks fan, Danielle, look like a rag doll as she tossed her around the ring. However, Kong was not done. Last weeks opponent Taylor had come back and she was looking for more of Kong. Climbing over the rail and into the ring, the two had to be separated by security. After which Taylor begged TNA management, Jim Cornette for a match against Raisha Saeed. Saying, if she beat Saeed she would get another chance at Kong. The ball was squarely placed in Cornettes corner and it will be interesting to see what he decides to do.
It was time for the next match in the World X Cup tournament. However, before the teams could be introduced, out came mixed martial arts fighter and TNA analyst, Frank Trigg. He went in the ring and called out AJ Styles after having been jumped from behind by him last week. In the back, Karen is telling AJ just to ignore it. AJ a man of pride would do no such thing and made his way out to the ring. Unfortunately for Karen it had all been a set up organized by Kurt. Once AJ had made his way to the ring, Trigg began climbing out of the ropes and smiling. Suddenly, cameras tuned into AJs locker room where Kurt and the Beautiful People were attacking Karen. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky shoved Karen down and gave her the brown bag special. All this was going on while Kurt was yelling at Karen for what she has done.
Now it really was time for the World X Cup match between Team Japan and Team Mexico. In a match that had everything from strength, to speed, to high flying moves, it was Team Mexico that picked up the win. They were now tied with Team TNA as all teams would head into singles action next week on iMPACT!
In the back, Lauren was interviewing Black Machismo Jay Lethal and So Cal Val. Jay was talking about how hard on him this was because Sonjay Dutt had been his best friend. To make matters worse, Val dropped a huge bomb on him saying after all that had happened she needed more time and wasnt ready to get married yet. This news came as a huge shock to Lethal.
In the ring The Guru Sonjay Dutt and his guruites had come out. Dutt got the crowd to start a set Val free chant. This is because he claimed that Jay was holding Val down and that she really loved him, the Guru. Before he could finish, Val had come out and was yelling at him about ruining her wedding. No sooner had this begun, than Lethal also came running down and began attacking Dutt. Once again Dutt escaped. Sooner or later Jay is going to get his hands on Dutt and when he does, it probablly wont be pretty.
In the back Booker T was showing off his lavish new locker room to Jeremey Borash. He then goes on to tell JB that it is because of him, Booker T, that TNA is as great as it is. He also promises to show Nash why he is better than him tonight.
In the back Tomko and Kurt are talking when Team 3D strolls up. Brother Ray proceeds to tell Kurt that he is an Olympic gold medalist and that he should be eating filet mignon and drinking champagne. Not chopped beef and 45s. He said by being with Karen he is settling for less. Brother Ray then promised to set Angle up on some blind dates next week that will put Karen to shame.
In the first ever Knockouts Bimbo Brawl, it was ODB taking on Moose. In a back and forth match that saw both ladies take tons of punishment from the many different weapons they had brought to the ring, it was Moose who picked up the win after DDTing ODB onto a steel chair.
It was now time for the big show down between Booker T and Kevin Nash. From the very start Nash was taking Booker to school. Shortly into the match, Joe came out and set up a chair at ringside. Eventually the action spilled out of the ring and Booker used that to his advantage. Having turned the tide on Nash, he went and tried to get the chair Joe was sitting in. When Joe refused to give it up, Booker shoved him to the ground and then hit him with the chair. He then uses the chair on Nash. The referee could do nothing because the match was a no DQ one. When it looked like Booker had things under control after several chair shots to Nash, Joe made his presence felt. Getting in the ring and attacking Booker he knocked him down. As Booker was getting up, Joe was setting up for a super Kick. At the last second Booker moves and Joe kicks Nash in the face accidentally. This allows Booker to get the win. After the match Booker is looking on and smiling as Nash and Joe have to be separated by security.
It is obvious that Booker is using the mental game to his advantage and that Joe is falling victim to it. Tune in next week to see what happens next as both men prepare for their Heavyweight Title match showdown at Victory Road on July 13th. If you missed iMPACT! this week dont worry. Check out the replay Saturday night on Spike TV. Check local listings for times.
The Boogeyman was backstage at this past Tuesday's SmackDown/ECW taping in his hometown of Houston, Texas. Boogeyman has been off television since early November and out of the ring since September. Just as he was starting to become more active in the ring, he went down with a calf injury. The injury has probably long since healed, but officials still have yet to bring him back.
There is talk going on regarding JBL's in-ring future. His back is still in a lot of pain (the original reason for his hiatus) and he is frustrated that he can't wrestle at the level he'd like. His back problems likely hinder his ability to train as effectively as he'd like, not to mention that he's in his forties and presumably not on anything, which is why his physique sometimes doesn't look up to par in comparison to the other wrestlers.
According to Dave Meltzer, Kurt Angle is injured yet again but this time it is not his neck. He apparently blew out his knee on the Monday tapings and had to wear a huge brace in order to work his scheduled matches for that night and Tuesday. No further information is known at this time.
-- Regarding Melina's injury on Raw this past week, there is still no official word on the matter, but it is believed that she either fractured her heel or tore ligaments in her ankle and will likely need surgery. No word yet on how long she'll be out, but it's definitely going to be at least a few weeks, if not months.
In recent months, Jim Ross had been quite vocal about changing brands in his weekly online blogs. He'd usually say that the fans probably don't care about announcers changing brands and that the moves should be reserved for the wrestlers, pretty much indicating that he wasn't too keen on leaving his position on Raw. As it turned out on Raw tonight, Ross's name came up on the TitanTron and as a result, be will be leaving the show to become the new play-by-play announcer for SmackDown. Ross was taken aback by the sudden announcement because as noted earlier, no one besides possibly the top players on the move were informed of the brand changes beforehand. Judging by J.R.'s reaction upon the announcement, he didn't look too pleased to say the least.
Jeff Jarrett should be making his long-awaited return to the ring by next January. The Sun is reporting that Jarrett is scheduled to wrestled on TNA's next tour England in January. The TNA part-owner Jarrett was backstage for the companys recent events in England, but did not wrestle on the shows. Jarrett last wrestled at the 2007 TNA Sacrifice pay-per-view event.
-- After missing the last set of Impact tapings, it looked like Mickie "Moose" Knuckles' wasn't long for TNA -- quite like Sirelda two years ago -- and that they only needed her services for a few shows. However, Knuckles signed a contract with TNA earlier in week and will be working as a regular with the company from this point forward. Knuckles will be wrestling on Impact two out of the next three weeks.

United States Champion Matt Hardy & CM Punk def. WWE Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz (non-title) Kofi Kingston def. Shelton Benjamin (Extreme Rules Match) Mike Knox def. Evan Bourne Mark Henry def. ECW Champion Kane (non-title)
HOUSTON Just five days prior to Night of Champions and one day after being pulled away from the Land of the Extreme in the stunning 2008 WWE Draft, ECW Champion Kane squared off a in a non-title match against Mark Henry. To the surprise of all, the Worlds Strongest Man pinned the ECW Champion in the middle of the ring, bringing credibility to his recent claims that he belongs in championship competition with the likes of the Big Red Machine and the Worlds Largest Athlete Big Show. (Watch)
Following an explosive build-up filled with epic matches and spontaneous ringside collisions in recent weeks, Kofi Kingston and Shelton Benjamin fought it out in a brutal Extreme Rules Match. After facing early annihilation at the hands of ECWs Gold Standard, amid an array of metal stairs, trash cans, and chairs, Kofi bounced back to pick up the win, giving Benjamin a face full of garbage can and a fresh mark in the loss column. (Watch)
Newcomer Evan Bourne, hit the ring flying, fighting for retribution after last weeks assault by Mike Knox. However, despite Bournes impressive arsenal of high-risk moves, Knox prevailed, defeating Bourne with authority.
After being drafted to ECW on Sci Fi, United States Champion Matt Hardy joined forced with newly-drafted Monday Night Raw Superstar Mr. Money in the Bank CM Punk to compete against the WWE Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz in a non-title match.
The teams were very evenly matched and in the end it seemed liked Morrison might be able to tag in Miz to secure the victory. However, Hornswoggle suddenly made an unexpended appearance, causing a big enough distraction for Hardy to hit the Twist of Fate and pick up the victory.
TNAwrestling.com is reporting that Scott Steiner underwent surgery in Birmingham, Alabama on Tuesday afternoon to repair a fully-torn ACL in his knee. The surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews. Steiner was injured in the main event match at Sacrifice against Samoa Joe and Kaz. After the event Steiner had an MRI done, but the test was incomplete due to the amount of swelling. Steiner worked through the pain, and was to have a scope done on his knee Tuesday, when the ACL tear was discovered. According to Dr. Andrews, Steiner could be out anywhere from four to six months.
Bryan Alvarez is reporting that Melina was indeed injured on RAW when she took a bad spill to the floor in a tag match where she teamed with Mickie James vs Natalya & Victoria. No further update is known at this time.
Randy Orton is said to very upset regarding a recent Internet report originally reported in Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter. It was reported two weeks ago that the severity of Orton's broken collarbone was worse than originally thought and that his return to the ring had been pushed back until October instead of August. According to Meltzer, October is the time frame the creative team is expecting him back. Well, Orton is saying that he should be back in the ring as early as the middle of August and that the pain in his collarbone is pretty much gone. Orton said he's been using a special machine that helps regenerate bone growth and thus speed up his recovery. The machine has an electromagnet that gives a direct pulse to the break of the bone.
