Recent Incident With WWE Star and Vince McMahon Posted by Steve Carrier on 10/09/2012 at 09:21 AM
- As we have noted, Vince McMahon was upset at last night's RAW and told the writers that he needs results now or he needs resignations. The scene was described as frightening in terms of Vince's tone and demeanor. Besides pressure from NBC Universal to fix the ratings, it's said that last week's 2.5 rating was a big slap in the face to Vince after a number of top talents voiced their concern to him.
A number of top talents have reportedly gone to Vince in recent weeks to complain about how the writing is bad and change is needed. At last week's RAW, Vince was in a bad mood after having a back-and-forth with one of the top talents in front of other people.
We have not been able to confirm who the top talent was but they basically told Vince in front of other people that the WWE writing sucks, that Vince is doing whatever he wants and that WWE is going off a cliff without anything being done about it. The talent then told Vince that he needs to listen to everyone else because he doesn't have his finger on WWE's pulse anymore, basically telling Vince that he's out of touch. The talent told Vince that when WWE goes to "hell in a handbasket" then it will be all Vince's fault.
Apparently several other people got through to Vince during the week and these factors played a big part in the changes made at RAW last night. As noted, expect to hear about more changes in the next few weeks.
Fan That Was Attacked By Punk Files Police Report Posted by Steve Carrier on 10/09/2012 at 09:07 AM
- The incident with WWE Champion CM Punk striking a fan at last night's RAW in Sacramento, California has been picked up by mainstream media outlets this morning. People in WWE expect it to be a major story over the next week or so.
The fan who was seen in the video being hit by Punk spoke with CBS 13 reporter Laura Cole, who was in attendance for RAW last night. Cole approached the man for comments. He told her he never hit Punk. The fan says his face was "a little warm" after the assault and says Punk broke his glasses. Police walked up as Cole was interviewing the fan and asked to speak with him. Cole added that the man was filing a Police report against Punk.
Since last night, it has been made clear that Punk struck the wrong fan.
Here are some more notes from this past weekend's House of Hardcore debut show from Tommy Dreamer:
* ECW Original Tony DeVito worked backstage helping to run things. Edge was also helping out backstage. Backstage visitors included former WWE developmental Diva Ivelisse Velez, TNA's Rosita, Beulah McGillicutty and indy talents.
* Scott Steiner, Rick Steiner and Edge were all big draws for the pre-show autograph session.
* There are plans for a House of Hardcore 2 show but word is that it may not happen until May of 2013. The event will be edited for a DVD release. There was talk of doing an iPPV but the feeling was that there are too many internet pay-per-views out there right now.
* The only injury of the night was Daivari getting a tooth knocked out thanks to a stiff kick from Crowbar.
After losing to The Prime Time Players in the WWE Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contenders' Tournament last Friday on SmackDown, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth have amicably parted ways. The duo announced in a video posted on WWE.com that they have accomplished everything they wanted to do as a tag team and want continue their careers as singles competitors.

Vince McMahon is said to be in a bad mood backstage at RAW. "I want results or I want resignations" was a quote from McMahon provided to Meltzer.
Punk baande zich na z'n kamp een weg door het publiek. Aanvankelijk gingen de fans uit hun dak en probeerden ze allemaal een glimp van de bad boy op te vangen. Maar door het gedrum viel de WWE Champion even uit z'n rol. Een fan die ongelukkig tegen Punk werd geduwd, moest dat prompt bekopen met een mep op z'n muil.
Op 7 november houdt de WWE Smackdown World Tour halt in Vorst Nationaal. Fans met kaartjes mogen alvast op hun beide oren slapen: CM Punk reist niet mee af naar Brussel.

Punk says Austin got famous by beating up a clueless and inept millionaire. Punk says that clueless inept millionaire is now a senior citizen. Punk asks Vince if hes getting mad. Punk goes on and slaps Vince in the face, knocking him to the mat. Punk exits the ring laughing as Vince gets up. Punk and Heyman head up the ramp.

- Several fans noted that Layla is no longer wearing her knee brace. It was reported months ago that WWE brought Layla back from injury early and that she was still suffering from problems with her knee. It appears all is well now.
Tara, who has received a renewed push in TNA Wrestling in recent weeks, revealed
during an interview Friday with the Pro Wrestling Torch Livecast that she
recently signed a one-year contract with the organization.
"I just
recently signed another year, so I'm pretty happy. I hope everyone knows the
passion - I love what I do. I hope people see that love," she said.
The
veteran grappler explained that she only signs contracts on a year-to-year basis
due to her physical state. This, however, has led to brief departures from the
organization.
"I signed for a year and they wanted to a three-year
(contract), but I said, 'I just do year-to-year. I have to listen to my body,
and I don't want to be locked into anything,'" she said. "Then, my contract
expired (in 2010) and it was just negotiations. It was not that I wanted to
leave, but it was the paperwork. I don't like that part of the business at all.
Then, the next year (2011), it expired again and we had to go through it again."

Daivari caught him with an elbow and nailed a tornado DDT. He went to the top
and nailed a big splash for the pin.
Your winner, Daivari!
Good
solid opener.

Doring and Guido started. Guido took him down to the mat but was kicked
off. They shoulderblocked each other but no one went down. Doring rebounded off
the ropes but was leg sweeped by Guido for a two count. They went back and forth

by Graziano. They allowed the FBI to take over and double team Doring in the
corner. Guido nailed a nice dropkick to Doring for a two count. They worked over

Mamaluke off the apron into the rail. RK and Doring hit their old finisher for
the pin.
Your winners, Danny Doring & Roadkill!
What you
would expect from these guys.
Roadkill took the mic and asked the FBI to
return to the ring. He said that he wanted to tell all of them something. He
told a kid to be quiet because if he knows his wrestling history, Roadkill
doesn't talk a lot. He said he has a lot of respect for them and the matches
they had in ECW. We had the first ECW chant of the crowd. RK said that ECW is
the past but HOH is the future and people will be chanting it soon. He said that
he wanted to thank all of them. He thanked everyone for their support and asked
them to keep supporting HOH.
Doring took the mic and said that you can
say ECW or HOH but if there wasn't a FBI, there wouldn't have been a Doring or
Roadkill. It was a nice, classy moment.
Jazz vs. Winter
Winter
acted like she was enamored by Jazz who shoved her away. They did some nice mat
wrestling back and forth. Jazz locked her in a sharpshooter but Winter made it
to the ropes.
Winter took control and kicked Jazz in the corner. Jazz
reversed it and chopped her in the corner. Winter cut her off with an over the
knee backbreaker for a two count. She tied up Jazz on the mat. She worked over

count.

OK match.
Alex Reynolds vs. Tony Nese with Mikey Whipwreck as
the special referee.
They did some nice back and forth wrestling early
on. Reynolds shoulderblocked Nese down but Nese came back with a spinkick. Nese
wanted to come off the top but Reynolds rolled out of the ring.
Back in
the ring, Reynolds cut off Nese and worked him over, yelling at Whipwreck as he
did. Nese went into this awesome series of offensive maneuvers and hit a great
tope to the floor. The place erupted and went nuts. They chanted, "This is
awesome" and "HOH."

springboard moonsault but Reynolds pulled his knees up. He tossed Nese rudely to
the floor and worked him over, then brought him back in for a two count.

crotched him.
Reynolds had words with Whipwreck who finally nailed him
with the Whippersnapper. Nese hit the 450 splash and scored the pin.
Your winner, Tony Nese!
Excellent match and since the majority
of the audience didn't know who these guys were, it really was a "star is born"
moment.
Scott Steiner came to the ring for a promo. He said that he
wanted to know where his freaks were at. He said that he wanted to thank
everyone for following him on Twitter. He said he's been telling the truth about
what p***ies Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are, so now he's in a lawsuit.
Out came Luke Gallows with Eddie Kingston. Gallows and Steiner began
brawling and they rang the bll.
Steiner clotheslined him over the top to
the floor and had words with Kingston. Steiner hiptossed Gallows over the top
and back into the ring. He worked him over with chops in the corner and
clotheslined him down for a two count. Steiner did push-ups to mock him.
They battled to the floor and around ringside. Gallows was whipped into
the guard rail. Steiner nailed him over the head with a hard plastic chair (not
a bendable one) and grabbed a cane from a fan at ringside and nailed Gallows
with it. He then nailed him with the ring bell and rang it on his head.
They continued brawling around ringside until Steiner tossed him back
into the ring. Steiner's leg was grabbed by Kingston, allowing Gallows to worked
over Steiner with punches and choked him against the ropes. Gallows nailed a
guillotine legdrop off the apron on Steiner, who's neck was exposed.
Galllows worked over Sreiner on the floor. He returned the receipt,
nailing Steiner with the chair. Rick Steiner came out and checked on Scott. He
chased Kingston around the ring.

to work over Scott and nailed a sideslam for a two count. He dropped an elbow
but Scott rolled out of the way. Steiner mounted a comeback with a series of
rights and clotheslines. He smashed Gallows into the buckles. Gallows reversed a
whip but was kicked off and nailed with a belly to belly suplex.

a DDT for a two count.
Steiner went for a suplex off the ropes but
Kingston nailed him. Gallows came off the top with a big elbow for a two count.
Rick chased Kingston into the ring and the Steiner hit stereo Steinerlines.
Scott pinned Gallows and celebrated with his brother.
Your winner, Scott
Steiner!
Entertaining brawl. Funny to see Scott rip on Hogan and
Bischoff while he's being sued. He really has no fear. Really entertaining with
everyone doing their job well. Kingston was a hell of a corner man.
MasterLock Challenge
Chris Mordetsky took the mic and ripped out
on Poughkeepsie. He knocked a bunch of fans and picked someone, an
African-American fan named "Adam" for the Challenge. Mordestsky made a lot of
comments about the "Hood."
The crowd began chanting "Bullsh**" over the
guy picked. Masters put it on and wouldn't let go. Hale Collins, who is a local
star from the area, came to the ring and said he wanted to take the challenge.
Collins got a nice reaction.
Masters locked him in the hold and Collins
fought hard to get out. The crowd got really behind their local hero. Collins
almost broke it so Masters blasted him from behind and stomped the hell out of
him.
They started wrestling and went back and forth. Masters nailed a
side slam for a two count. Masters picked him up a delayed vertical suplex.
Master blasted Collins in the back and worked him over with a backbreaker.
Collins mounted a comeback with a series of kicks and an enziguiri and a
Famouser for a two count. Masters drilled him into the turnbuckles back-first.
Collins fired back and went to the top but a masked man came out and shoved him
off the top. Masters hit a spinebuster for the pin.
Your winner, Chris
Mordestsky!
Good match, although they probably went a little long and
lost the crowd towards the end. Collins was really over as the local guy and
they had some good exchanged. The masked man was likely Vik Delicious who is
"banned" from wrestling in Poughkeepsie after losing a stipulation match for
NEW, which ran here last year.
Rhino vs. Sami Callihan
They
brawled all over ringside and then back into the ring. Rhino whipped Callihan
hard into the buckles and then flapjacked him high into the ring for a two
count. Rhino missed a charge in the corner and was drilled with a hard kick to
the back of the head.
Callihan nailed him with a running Facewash in the
corner. Callihan nailed a series of headbutt. Rhino tossed him over the top onto
the ramp. He charged down the ramp and nailed Callihan with a hard chairshot. He
set the chair and charged to jump off but was kicked in the air.
Callihan charged the ramp and hit a flip over the ropes into the ring on
Rhino for a two count. They battled back and forth with hard chops and shots
until Rhino murdered him with a spinebuster. Fans chanted for a gore.
Rhino and Sami continued to battle back and forth. Rhino nailed a TKO
for a two count. Callihan nailed a big boot for a two count. Rhino nailed a big
belly to belly suplex and set up for the Gore. He went for it but Callihan
caught him in a guillotine choke. Rhino refused to tap and fought his way to his
feet. He suplexed Callihan into the turnbuckles.
Rhino gored Callihan
but he kicked up at the last second. The crowd was surprised by that. They
battled back and forth. Rhino nailed him a piledriver for another two count. He
pulled him Callihan up to the ropes and nailed the Rhinodriver off the middle
turnbuckle for the pin.
Your winner, Rhino!
Big Daddy V vs. Ham
and Egger
Big Daddy, managed by Nicky Benz (Nick Berk doing an agent of
the stars gimmick), came out and destroyed a guy who looked like Jake Milliman.
V won so Berk called for another opponent.
Another young guy came in and
nailed a series of dropkicks but V grabbed him and chokeslammed him into a sit
down powerbomb for the pin.
Benz called for another and out came Little
Spike Dudley, who got a monster pop. He kicked V low and nailed the Acid Drop
and celebrated. V rolled out of the ring and wanted nothing to do with Spike. He
left.
Benz was pissed and went after Spike, who ripped off his toupee
and nailed him with the Acid Drop and celebrated.
They took a brief
intermission because they were ahead of schedule.
When they returned,
Adam "Edge" Copeland came to the ring. He said the last time he did a show at
this level was 1997 and the reason he is here tonight was Tommy Dreamer. He said
Dreamer busted his ass to have this show. He said that he wanted the fans to
give themselves a hand for showing up. He said that fans should give themselves
a hand for cheering and booing and having fun because that's what wrestling is
all about.
He said it was fun for him to see the young guys like Sami
Callihan getting drilled by Rhino's piledriver. He said that made him think of
Paul Orndorff piledriving Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant getting his hair
shaved. He said that he loves moments like those and this next match could be a
moment like that. He said the teams remind him of Edge and Christian and The
Hardy Boyz. He said London & Kendrick and the Bucks are going to do things
now in their prime, that he could never do.
Paul London & Brian
Kendrick vs. The Young Bucks
Matt Jackson and Kendrick started out on
the mat with some nice reversals. Finally Jackson slapped him and Kendrick
responded with some forearms. Kendrick leapfrogged Jackson and used a forward
roll for the pin.
Kendrick worked over his arm and tagged in London.
London nailed a double stomp off the ropes and worked over Jackson's arm. London
nailed an awesome overhead belly to belly throw on Nick Jackson. Kendrick and
London nailed a double kick on Nick as he came off the top and ran him into Matt
Jackson in the corner. Nick ended up hitting a rana on his own brother.
The Bucks cut off Kendrick and Matt Jackson stomped the hell out of him.
They went for a double hiptoss but Kendrick slipped out and tagged London.
London backdropped Nick over the top to the floor and worked over Matt. Nick
dragged London out of the ring. When he returned to the apron, Nick grabbed a
head scissors, allowing Matt to nail a dropkick to the face.

dropkick. Matt covered London for a two count. Nick locked London in a rear
chinlock. London tried to fight out but was cut off by Matt. Matt suplexed

insane spots including an awesome double plancha. They went back and forth with
a bunch of near falls until Kendrick nailed Sliced Bread #2 followed by a London
Shooting Star Press on Matt for the pin.
Your winners, Brian Kendrick
& Paul London!
Awesome awesome awesome match. Just great stuff. The
place chanted "HOH" afterwards.

clotheslined him over the top. Carlito and Dreamer faced off. Carlito hit a
springboard moonsault over Dreamer and dropkicked him. Knox charged Carlito and

Carlito ate apple and spit it on Knox.
Dreamer picked it up and ate some of it. Knox clotheslined them both. They
battled to the floor, where Dreamer got dropped over the railing. Dreamer came
back and rang the ring bell over Carlito's nether-regions
Dreamer tossed
a chair into the ring and tried to nail Carlito into it. He blocked it and drop
toe-holded Dreamer into the chair. Knox returned to the ring and nailed a big
boot on Knox.
Carlito went under the ring and pulled a ladder into the
ring. He placed it into a corner and rammed Dreamer into it. He then dropkicked
Knox into the ladder, which snapped in half. Carlito charged and Knox
backdropped Carlito into the ladder, then speared Dreamer.
Dreamer
nailed an awesome DDT on Knox, who landed standing upside down before going
over. Dreamer set up a table on the outside. He tried to suplex Carlito over the
ropes through the table but Carlito escaped and nailed Dreamer with a series of
rights. Dreamer nearly went off the apron but caught Carlito with a DVDR off the
apron through the table.

was kicked by Knox. Dreamer set the ladder on the apron and tried to use it as a
base to superplex Knox. He got crotched through the ladder. Carlito nailed the
Backstabber while Dreamer was still hooked in the ladder. Knox went off the top
with a flying legdrop but missed. Carlito covered Dreamer and won the belt.
Your winner, Carlito!
Really good match. It was actually the
hardest I've ever seen Carlito or Knox ever work.
Dreamer presented
Carlito with the belt. The crowd chanted "Thank you Tommy" and "HOH."
Carlito and Knox shook hands. Knox laid him out and attacked Carlito.
Raven charged out and DDT'd Dreamer. He began beating the hell out of him when
"Enter Sandman" hit and out came the Sandman from the top of the Mid-Hudson
Civic Center.
After an extended entrance, Sandman rolled into the ring.
He ducked and Knox clotheslined Raven. Sandman caned them both and they ran from
the ring.
Dreamer took the mic. There was a Thank you Sandman chant.
Then a Thank you Tommy. Then a "Thank you both."
Dreamer said that he
wanted to thank everyone here from the bottom of his heart. He thought it was
going to be a disaster. He said his Mom had a stroke and he thought she was
going to die but she's here selling merchandise. He said Edge blew off neck
surgery to be here. Beulah and his kids were in the back and he said there will
be a HOH 2. He said he loved the boys in the back and picked the roster and
wished everyone a safe ride home.
Fun ending to the show. Really strong
first effort on all fronts.
The 685th edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown came to you from the BOK Center in Tulsa, OK. After being defeated by WWE Champion CM Punk by the most dubious of ways on the debut episode of WWE Main Event, World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus would be looking to take out his aggression on another champion as the World Heavyweight Champion would go one-on-one with Intercontinental Champion The Miz in a non-title, Champion vs. Champion Match. Also, with Zack Ryder & Santino Marella, Rhodes Scholars, and Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara all advancing to the Semi-Finals, the final First Round Match of the #1 Contenders Tag Team Tournament would take place on SmackDown as former tag team champions R-Truth & Kofi Kingston faced The Prime Time Players with the winning team advancing to the Semi-Finals to face Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara.
Match Results #1 Contenders Tag Team Tournament: First Round Match: The Prime Time Players def. R-Truth & Kofi Kingston by Darren Young pinning Kofi Kingston following the double knee gutbuster to advance to the Semi-Finals. Ryback def. Primo (with Epico & Rosa Mendes) by pin following Shell Shocked. Layla def. Alicia Fox by pin following a kick to the head. Champion vs. Champion: Non-Title: The Miz (with Big Show) def. Sheamus by DQ after Big Show attacks The Miz. Non-Title: Team Hell No def. Alberto Del Rio & David Otunga by Daniel Bryan pinning David Otunga following the flying headbutt. Tensai (with Sheamus) def. Big Show by DQ after Sheamus attacks Tensai. Non-Title: CM Punk def. Dolph Ziggler by pin following the GTS.
Detailed Results
Four weeks before he challenges Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Title at Hell in a Cell, SmackDown kicks off with the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title, The Worlds Largest Athlete Big Show. Big Show says that everyone has confidence until he punches them in the skull, adding that he has never faced Sheamus one-on-one, but Sheamus will join a very elite list of victims. Big Show continues that he punched guys like Edge, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, and John Cena right in the mouth. The #1 Contender is then interrupted by the World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus, who says that he appreciates the heads up, saying that his title defense at Hell in a Cell will be the toughest of his career. Sheamus then extends his hand to Big Show, saying let the best man win, but the giant refuses to shake the champions hand, walking out of the ring. Sheamus then shows footage from WWE TLC last December where Big Show defeated Mark Henry to win the World Heavyweight Title, only to lose it Daniel Bryan 45 seconds later. Sheamus then shows what happened at WrestleMania, where he defeated Daniel Bryan in 18 seconds to win the World Heavyweight Title. This brings an enraged Big Show back to the ring as the #1 Contender extends his hand to Sheamus, but the champion just walks past The Worlds Largest Athlete, exiting the ring with a smile on his face!
The opening match of the night was the final First Round Match in the #1 Contenders Tag Team Tournament as former tag team champions R-Truth & Kofi Kingston faced The Prime Time Players with a Semi-Final spot on the line. In the end, it was an assist on the outside from Titus ONeil that allowed Darren Young to hit the double knee gutbuster on Kofi Kingston and, as Titus keeps R-Truth out of the ring, Young pins Kofi to pick up the upset win to advance to the Semi-Finals to face Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara next week!
After he and Epico failed to make it past Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara in the #1 Contenders Tag Team Tournament on RAW, Primo, with Epico & Rosa Mendes in his corner, would have the unenviable task of going one-on-one with the undefeated Sin City Cyborg Ryback. During the match, Primo would try to walk away from the match, but Ryback would not allow it as the unstoppable machine would drop Epico with a clothesline on the outside before dropping Primo with Shell Shocked in the middle of the ring en route to picking up another impressive win.
Two former Divas Champions faced off on SmackDown as Layla went one-on-one with Alicia Fox. In the end, it was Layla landing a kick to Alicia Foxs head en route to picking up the win.
Backstage, a heated argument between WWE Champion CM Punk and Mr. Money-in-the-Bank Dolph Ziggler, as well as Paul Heyman and Vickie Guerrero, is broken up by SmackDown General Manager Booker T, who books CM Punk to go one-on-one with Dolph Ziggler in the main event!
Wade Barrett was in action on SmackDown as The Bareknuckle Brawler faced a local competitor. In the end, it was Wade Barrett hitting the Souvenir on the jobber en route to picking up the win.
Then it was time for a Champion vs. Champion Match as World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus went one-on-one with Intercontinental Champion The Miz in a non-title match. During the match, Sheamus was ready to put The Miz down with the Brogue Kick, but Big Show would emerge, knocking Miz out with the W.M.D., costing Sheamus the match!
After Alberto Del Rio twice assaulted Randy Orton last week, David Otunga makes an appearance on SmackDown to thank Del Rio for taking The Viper out. It then looks like Orton would confront Otunga, but when Ortons music plays, Alberto Del Rio and his personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, come out instead as The Mexican Aristocrat mocks Ortons ring entrance. Del Rio says that Orton would not dare be in the same building as him because Orton would wind up like a dying snake, touting that he cut off the head of that snake, proclaiming that he is the new apex predator of the WWE! SmackDown General Manager Booker T then comes out, saying that, with Orton out of action, Del Rio has some free time on his hands. With that, Booker puts Del Rio and David Otunga in a match against the WWE Tag Team Champions, Kane & Daniel Bryan!
Per the orders of Booker T, Alberto Del Rio would team with David Otunga, with Ricardo Rodriguez in their corner, to face the WWE Tag Team Champions, Team Hell No, in a non-title match. In the end, it was Kane planting David Otunga with a chokeslam, but Daniel Bryan tags himself, dropping the flying headbutt on Otunga en route to picking up the win for himself and Kane.
Backstage, Senior Advisor Theodore Long is talking to Booker Ts Assistant, Eve, as Long says that he did not tell Eve to try and suspend Beth Phoenix indefinitely last week, but the Divas Champion claims that, in his advanced age, Long forgot that he told her to suspend Beth Phoenix. Long says that he can see right through Eve and he knows that Eve had something to do with the attack on Kaitlyn at Night of Champions. Long continues that Booker T is not an experienced General Manager and Eve may have Booker fooled, but if he was in charge, Eve would be out the door. However, Booker enters the office, only hearing the end of the conversation, asking if Long is jealous of Eve, but Long says that he is his own man. Booker says that Long and Eve are valuable assets, but he cannot have them arguing all the time.
After costing Sheamus a match against The Miz, Big Show was in action on SmackDown as The Worlds Largest Athlete went one-on-one with Tensai. During the match, Big Show winds up for the W.M.D., but Sheamus rushes out, delivering the Brogue Kick to Tensai, costing Big Show the match just like the #1 Contender did to Sheamus earlier!
Then it was time for the main event as WWE Champion CM Punk, with Paul Heyman in his corner, went one-on-one with Mr. Money-in-the-Bank Dolph Ziggler, with Vickie Guerrero in his corner. In the end, it was CM Punk hitting the GTS on Dolph Ziggler en route to picking up the win over Mr. Money-in-the-Bank. After the match, CM Punk stands on the announce table and says that, he knows what he has to do to get respect and that is face John Cena inside Hell in a Cell. However, the WWE Champion again proclaims that he will still not face Cena at Hell in a Cell!
We noted before that Vince McMahon has reportedly soured on the Brodus Clay character and gimmick changes may be coming for the big man. The same thing is being said about Tensai. WWE officials had big hopes for Tensai when he returned to WWE earlier this year but plans for his push have been nixed.
