TNA Knockout ODB was left off the most recent set of Impact tapings (three episodes worth) because company officials didn't have any ideas on where to take her storyline relationship with Cody Deaner.
In a separate note, her contract is set to expire in November.
TNA newcomer Sarah Stock was formally introduced in the latest episode of TNA En Espanol Con Willie Urbina on YouTube.com. During the interview, her ring name is revealed to be "Sarita."
The segment features a behind the scenes photo shoot Stock recently took part in, highlights from her recent dark matches against Awesome Kong and Taylor Wilde, and an interview Hector Guerrero conducted with her in Spanish.
During the interview, Stock discusses her wrestling background and notes the contrast in styles between Mexico and the United States. She says the Mexican style of wrestling is very different, but she's going to do the best she can.
Stock also adds it's her intention to dominate the women's division and she plans on reaching her goal by going up against the best TNA has to offer. She notes her two matches against Awesome Kong and Taylor Wilde, saying right from the start, TNA has put her up against the best they have to offer. Basically, Stock says she just want to prove that she's the best wrestler in the women's division.
Christy Hemme took part in an interview this past week saying she still can't give a timetable on when she'll be able to return to the ring after deciding not to have neck surgery to help heal her seriously injured neck.
"I opted not to have neck surgery because I don't like the idea of fusing bones together when you can heal it naturally," Hemme said. "I haven't wrestled since November and I'm feeling really good and getting a lot stronger and waiting it out until I can get back in the ring."
While the TNA Knockout suffered the neck injury training for a pay-per-view match, she says the injury was inevitable after accumulating a variety of injuries as a result of being "knocked around in the ring."
In other highlights coming out of the interview, when asked if there's anyone in professional wrestling she doesn't like, Hemme notes Vince McMahon, saying he's "not my favorite person on the planet."
Hemme is also asked about winning the first WWE Diva Search and the $250,000 grand prize. She says the worst part was paying taxes on the winnings. "Paid a lot of taxes and it was horrible," Hemme said.
The Undertaker is expected to be back in action around mid-July. While that is not set in stone, WWE wants him to return over the summer with enough time to build to a big program for SummerSlam in August.

The Peep Show with ECW Champion Christian and Jack Swagger (PHOTOS | WATCH) For the first time as ECW Champion, Christian brought The Peep Show to ECW on Sci Fi Tuesday night. Captain Charismas special guest was none other than his Judgment Day opponent, Jack Swagger. The All-American American promised Christian hell reclaim the ECW Championship that Christian cheated to steal at Backlash, showing the WWE Universe clips of Christian exposing the turnbuckle for the victory. But instead of playing clips of Swagger exposing the opposite turnbuckle, Christian offered a montage of Swaggers greatest lisp-filled speeches on ECW. (WATCH)
Since ECWs interim General Manager, Tiffany, promised thered be consequences to pay if either Christian or Swagger engaged in physicality during The Peep Show, Swagger continued to berate the ECW Champion. But it was only a matter of time before Christian abruptly ended The Peep Show, and attacked his stunned Judgment Day opponent with a punch to the face. An irate Swagger ran out of the ring as the WWE Universe cheered for Christian. Will the ECW Champion successfully defend the title Sunday at Judgment Day, or will Swagger reclaim the Extreme gold to once again become the face of the Tuesday night franchise? Tune in to Judgment Day, this Sunday at 8/7 CT, live and only on pay-per-view.
Finlay def. Tyson Kidd (disqualification) (PHOTOS | WATCH) With Natalya banned from ringside, a retribution-seeking Finlay defeated Tyson Kidd by disqualification on ECW on Sci Fi. But The Belfast Brawler wasnt celebrating his win after David Hart Smith emerged to back up Kidd. The Hart Dungeon-trained duo brutally attacked Finlay, as Kidd used Finlays shillelagh twice against him. After the vicious assault, Natalya joined Kidd and the son of the British Bulldog for a Pink & Black Attack reunion in the ring. Now that Smith has joined Kidd and Natalya in the Land of the Extreme, will anyone be able to stop this trio?
Mark Henry def. Tommy Dreamer (PHOTOS) With WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas in his corner, The Worlds Strongest Man was victorious against Tommy Dreamer. The ECW Original fell victim to Henrys Worlds Strongest Slam Tuesday night. Dreamers defeat comes at a time when hes fighting to be king of the Land of the Extreme once again. With his contract expiring in just weeks, Dreamer vowed to become ECW Champion or leave WWE. Will Dreamers hopes of becoming ECW Champion again be crushed? Or will the ECW Original fight his way to the top? And what will Henry do Thursday night on WWE Superstars when he faces ECW Champion Christian just days before he defends the Extreme Title at Judgment Day?
Vladimir Kozlov def. local competitor (PHOTOS) Since his ECW arrival, Vladmir Kozlov has been undefeated in singles action, repeatedly and mercilessly beating his competition. After his win, The Moscow Mauler demanded an interview from the ECW announce team. Josh Mathews asked Kozlov how his Russian military training has helped him. Kozlov explained that hes trained in the superior Russian martial art of Sambo, which uses the great combination of skills and discipline, Kozlov said. That is why I will dominate everyone here in ECW. He then again delivered a mysterious, forceful, message to the WWE Universe in Russian. What will the dominant Kozlov do next? Will any ECW Superstar be able to stop him?
The following news items are compiled from several live reports sent in from fans who were at last night's WWE RAW from Columbus, Ohio:
Dark Match: Sheamus O'Shaunessy defeated Jamie Noble. O'Shaunessy is a developmental talent who wrestles at Florida Championship Wrestling and has been touring with the main roster for the past week.
Match Taped for Superstars: The Big Show wrestled Hornswoggle.
Biggest Crowd Support: John Cena & Batista
Most Heat: Vickie & Chavo Guererro, Randy Orton
Post-RAW Dark Match: John Cena and Batista defeated Randy Orton and Big Show. Towards the end of the match, Batista got busted open above his left eye pretty bad. There was a lot of blood. After Cena and Batista got the win, Batista went right to the back and did not stay to celebrate with Cena.
WWE has signed Rachel Carr, a British model/dancer who has done body-double work for Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, to a developmental contract. In an interview with the UK Sun, Rachel says she was approached by WWE recruiter Lou Maggio, who asked her to audition. She's now training at Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE's developmental territory, five days each month and plans to dedicate herself to learning the craft of a WWE Diva.
You train for between six months and two years before youre ready to move up," she said. "I was so excited to go over there and meet everybody, but I was also scared. On my first time over, watching the girls throw themselves around, I thought I couldnt do it. Ive only just begun the training so Im not doing too much of the physical stuff at the moment."
Rachel certainly has the look and body type of a typical WWE diva and hopes that will help her make it to WWE television one day. "They want me to be a cutie. Because Im quite small and little, they want the whole angel thing coming over. Hopefully it will go well, Ill perfect my wrestling and my character and Ill end up with a full time WWE contract.
After this week's RAW from Columbus, OH had ended, John Cena and Batista defeated Big Show and Randy Orton in the dark match main event. The match ended after Cena and Batista hit a double suplex on Big Show, and then Cena followed with an Attitude Adjustment on Show.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Oftentimes, the days leading up to a WWE pay-per-view event see Superstars conserving their energy and trying to stay out of any serious action. On Raw, however, Batista threw this conventional wisdom out the window, as he competed against WWE Champion Randy Orton and his Legacy minions, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, who were laid to waste earlier in the night by The Animal, all just days before The Viper and Batista collide at Judgment Day.
WWE Champion Randy Orton def. Batista by disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) Earlier in the night, WWE Champion Randy Orton believed he would be facing Batista in the main event with a distinct advantage: Having Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase at his side as part of a 3-on-1 Handicap Match. However, as a result of Batistas attacks on Ortons Legacy cohorts throughout the evening, The Viper went to the ring alone to face The Animal. Prior to the match, Orton attempted to convince Batista not to take part in the match, claiming that there was no good reason for them to collide before their contest at Judgment Day. The Animal remained unswayed, however, as he attacked The Legend Killer with a level of ferocity shocking even for this intense Superstar, attacking The Viper with a steel chair, resulting in another disqualification loss in the same night.
But the ringing bell wasnt enough to stop Batista, who continued his assault, threatening Orton with the steel ring steps, mirroring The Legacys assault on Shane McMahon. As The Legend Killer was about to be nailed with the steps, his injured cohorts, Rhodes & DiBiase, made their way into the brawl. The Animal took out his frustrations by leveling both of his opponents associates as The Viper slithered away.
William Regals appearance on United States Champion MVPs "VIP Lounge" was interrupted by both Matt Hardy and Kofi Kingston; MVP & Kofi Kingston def. Matt Hardy & William Regal (PHOTOS | WATCH) After William Regal cost United States Champion MVP his match against Cody Rhodes on the previous Raw, The Ballin Superstar invited The British Brawler to be a guest on his "VIP Lounge" segment. Claiming that he had worked long and hard for his standing on Raw, Regal explained that he attacked MVP for the insolence he displayed in trying to leapfrog him in Raws hierarchy. After he insulted both The Franchise Player and the United States of America, Regal and MVP were interrupted by Matt Hardy.
The embittered Superstar claimed that he also had been wronged in being forced to compete with a broken hand, and stated that he should be first in line to compete for MVPs U.S. Title. The three Superstars were then joined by another ring warrior, Kofi Kingston, who charged Hardy and assaulted him for clubbing him in the head with his cast the week before. The Superstars skirmish turned into an official tag bout pitting U.S. Champion MVP with The Jamaican Superstar to battle Hardy & Regal. Courtesy of this impromptu match, The Ballin Superstar was able to exact retribution on William Regal, hitting him with The Playmaker to rack up a victory for himself and Kingston.
Santina Marella def. Beth Phoenix in a Miss WrestleMania Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Defending her Miss WrestleMania title, Santina Marella took on the sexy, smart and powerful Beth Phoenix. Santina once again proved why she holds that coveted title, as she surprised The Glamazon with a lightning-quick roll-up. Following the match, Miss WrestleMania took part in her customary celebration dance.
Miss WrestleMania Santina Marella confronted by the Guerreros Like being called into the principals office, Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero summoned Miss WrestleMania Santina Marella to her office for when Santino Marella called her swine-like in a conversation with her nephew, Chavo. Refusing to believe that Santina and Santino are different people, Chavo went to pull off Santinas hair, but was rewarded with a slap. Settling on another way to prove Santinas identity, Vickie called in the sexy, smart and powerful duo of Beth Phoenix & Rosa Mendes. At the Raw GMs direction, Rosa leaned in to peck Santina on the cheek, a gesture Miss WrestleMania returned with a full-on kiss on the lips. When questioned about her actions, Santina admitted that shes a lesbian before calling Vickie a pig and giving Rosa a playful slap on the rear.
The Miz attacked John Cena after their Exhibition Match ended in a no-contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) Before the Exhibition Match between John Cena and The Miz, Lilian Garcia announced that the participants would compete until officially stopped by General Manager Vickie Guerrero, who wanted to determine if the formere World Heavyweight Champion was fit to compete against Big Show at Judgment Day. With The World's Largest Athlete, watching from ringside, The Miz predicted that he would rack up another win over the injured Cena.
Unfortunately for the self-proclaimed Chick Magnet, however, the former World Heavyweight Champions injuries werent enough to keep him from taking control of the match. Just after hitting the Five Knuckle Shuffle on his opponent, Cena was stopped by the Raw GM who had decided that he was fully capable of competing on Sunday.
As Cena stood shocked, The Miz capitalized on the situation to level his opponent and dubiously claim the contest as a victory for himself. As the self-proclaimed future World Champion celebrated up the ramp, Big Show stood staring at the suffering Cena.
The Brian Kendrick def. WWE Unified Tag Team Champion Carlito (PHOTOS) Though he was defeated by WWE Unified Tag Team Champion Carlito on the previous weeks Raw, The Brian Kendrick showed that he shouldnt be counted out yet as he rallied on this weeks Raw to score a pinfall victory over The Southpaw from San Juan. Following the match, Kendrick took the microphone to address the WWE Universe. The arrogant Superstar claimed that his win over Carlito was just step one, and that once he finds THE tag team partner, he plans on becoming one-half of the WWE Unified Tag Team Champions himself.
One Superstar who might be an ideal candidate for Kendrick is Mr. Kennedy, who will be making his return to Raw in the near future. (WATCH)
Mickie James & Kelly Kelly def. Divas Champion Maryse & Jillian (PHOTOS | WATCH) Four of WWEs sexy, smart and powerful Divas collided in tag team action as Mickie James & Kelly Kelly took on Divas Champion Maryse & Jillian. Maryse was hoping for some manner of retribution after her loss to Mickie on the last Raw, but she was denied as her fan-favorite opponent planted her on the mat with a well-timed DDT.
Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase def. Batista by disqualification (PHOTOS) The odds were against Batista in Raws first match of the night, as he took on both Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match. Using quick tags and the vicious stomps learned under the tutelage of WWE Champion Randy Orton, The Legacy attempted to control the match early on. But when things started to turn in The Animals favor, Rhodes went to the outside to retrieve a steel chair. Though the referee didnt see the second-generation Superstar bring the chair in the ring, he did see Batista pick it up and swing it, prompting the official to disqualify The Animal. Batistas rage may well have worked to his disadvantage, as the loss ensured that he will be outnumbered once again in the nights main event as he faces the Legacy members, along with their leader, Orton.
Batista refused to join WWE Champion Randy Ortons Legacy; The Animal to face Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase to determine Raws main event (PHOTOS) Opening Raw was Randy Orton, who revealed that Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero had made a rule preventing him and and Batista from touching one another leading up to their Judgment Day match for Ortons WWE Title. The WWE Champion went on to call The Animal out to the ring and make him a startling offer: An opportunity to join The Legacy. Batista not only declined the offer, but promised to destroy The Viper come Sunday.
Incensed at being called predictable, Vickie Guerrero came out to the stage, where the GM rescinded her no contact rule, and made a new opening match for Raw: Batista vs. Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. In accordance with Guerreros stipulations, if The Legacy won, Batista would face Orton, Rhodes & DiBiase in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match, while if The Animal scored a victory, then he would face The Legend Killer one-on-one.
Matt Hardy has posted a cryptic blog on his MySpace account (www.myspace.com/theonlymatthardy) largely taking aim at various Internet wrestling websites over rumors regarding him, not to mention commentary concerning the industry.
Hardy wrote: "I am so entertained how people who "think" they're in the know but have no clue about what's really happening.. How they're not even warm. But they still report it nonstop-in an attempt to boost the sales of their premium site to make a few bucks. Can't blame anyone for trying to make a living for themselves, though. Although I'll go on record and say the majority of them make claims and print their opinions (usually in a lame attempt to sound cool and important to their readers) that are so far from what's actually occurring, it's laughable. I've grown to enjoy it though.. It's what happens when you become a TV and pop culture star.
"Matthew Moore Hardy is a Martyr. Alot of wrestlers fall into this category. I personally always do my damnedest to "suck it up and go" because I hate letting my personal fans, and the faithful wrestling fans down. I legitimately broke my hand in 3 places during the Backlash PPV. I actually injured my hand worse by wrestling against Kofi Kingston on Raw Monday. I wonder if the preposterous .com site was critical of my performance, LOL. They were probably too busy making witty zingers and presenting ludicrous solutions to turn the wrestling industry around to entertain themselves. There's not many men who could put their body through what I've put mine thru in the last month. Certainly none of the "keyboarders" who criticize me and our industry regularly. Besides the known injuries I've suffered recently, one day I'll fill everyone in on a secret something that will absolutely blow everyone's mind. You'll either think I'm the toughest, most courageous dude ever, or an extremely driven, passionate idiot."
However, he is not critical of all websites concerning the business as he feels a certain columnist understands wrestling particularly well and enjoys reading his work.
Hardy wrote: "Please don't take my being critical of a portion of the Sports Entertainment World Wide Web contributers as a blanket statement-that's not the case. I have love for so many of my fans and friends that are intelligent and respectful of the pro wrestling business. The column I will occasionally read when I check out reviews (because the gentleman who writes it "gets it", and speaks about the talent and business with respect and dignity) is the "Looking at a "so and so" edition of whatever TV show he's reviewing." That column is the most accurate and most consistent of any of the "major" sites. It blows most of the other "attempted" reviews away. I have no knowledge of the gentleman's background who writes this column-but I appreciate the fact he has a good grasp on what the WWE does, what pro wrestling is REALLY about, and is respectful of what we do as humans and athletes."
As he concludes his blog, Hardy says his critics could never match his life experiences, notoriety, success, manhood, financial status and quality of life within two lifetimes.
Hardy wrote: "I've had more fun as a man in the last 4 years than 99% of most guys would have in two lifetimes-and I'm being modest, HA! So to all you anti-Matt Hardy "keyboarders", punch that in your keyboard and make some witty zingers and cracks about me. And then look in the mirrors and realize that regardless of my flaws, that within even two lifetimes, you could never match my life experiences, my notoriety, my success, my manhood, my financial status, or my quality of life. There's that heel coming out in me.."
As of the weekend, Jeff Hardy still has not signed a new contract with World Wrestling Entertainment, according to Dave Meltzer. The general belief is that he is going to take time off when his current contract expires to heal up from injuries and pursue outside projects. There appears to be no fear within WWE that he'll return to TNA. The impression is that WWE realizes his importance with the talent roster thin on top.
As reported on earlier this week, The Undertaker is pretty banged up right now and wasn't used at WWE TV tapings for the last two weeks.
Initial sources stated that he needed surgery on his hip, while another source stated surgery was needed for his knees. Both parts of his body are in bad shape and have been for quite some time right now. The plan as of right now is that he will be getting arthroscopic hip surgery done. This will keep Undertaker out of action for a little more than two months through the summer.
The hope internally was that giving him the time off right now will help him rest his knees and they hope to have him back for TV by July allowing for a build towards SummerSlam in August. There is said to be something significant planned in creative for Undertaker at SummerSlam, but it is possible that may not be in play with his injuries forcing him off TV for the time being. The biggest hope is that Jeff Hardy will stay with WWE through the summer with Undertaker being out as Hardy would be considered the top babyface on Smackdown with Undertaker's absence. It should be noted that some are fearing that once he gets the surgery that they may discover some serious problems that will keep him out of action even longer since he has worked through injuries for so long.
In addition to Mick Foley, Kurt Angle will also be serving as a host for the new TNA Epics show. Right now the highlight show is only airing in the UK, but TNA is likely working on increasing distribution for the show. With Spike TVs average primetime ratings on the decline, its possible that they may pick up the second TNA show. Epics will feature classic matches from TNAs seven-year history, rather than being an Impact highlight show. The decision to have Angle and Foley host it was also done to prevent the show from having a minor league feel.

Hardy proclaimed that if Jericho could beat him later on SmackDown, he could be added to the World Heavyweight Championship Match at Judgment Day. (Match preview) Jericho tried to attack him, only to end up with the short end of the stick. (VIDEO | PHOTOS)
Later that night, The Rated-R Superstar joined Jim Ross & Todd Grisham at the broadcast table to watch the match up-close. In the end, Rey Mysterio emerged to distract Jericho long enough for Hardy to hit the Twist of Fate and Swanton Bomb, effectively denying Jericho his place at the World Heavyweight Championship table.

GoErie.com has an article on Mickie James discussing how the women's wrestlers earn respect from the guys, how she got her start in professional wrestling, branching out into television and films, winning the WWE Women's Championship for the first time, and more.
James also said John Cena is one of her best friends on the road.
"I hang out with John. He's a sweetheart, and he's very personable," James told GoErie.com. "He hangs out with everybody as well. Usually, he's more laid back. He doesn't really go to the clubs. It's kind of hard for him to go out when you know you will get mobbed.
"I can only imagine being on that level. When I go out, I get mini-mobbed, in comparison. I've seen him get attacked, and I'm like 'Oh, my God, how does he deal with that?' He can't do anything, go to the beach and chill. But he's cool. He's awesome, a real good friend of mine. I love John to death."
Strangely, Melina has yet to appear on Smackdown after being drafted to the blue brand nearly a month ago. She was left off this week's show as well, leaving her and Ricky Ortiz as the sole wrestlers having not yet debuted on Smackdown, although Ortiz filmed a few video segments for WWE's mobile service as a member of the brand.
As far as the WWE Women's Champion's whereabouts are concerned, company officials decided to punish her by having her stay at home following the European tour in light of her vocal complaints about being moved to SmackDown via the Draft a few weeks ago. Company officials were none too pleased with her outlandish behavior, hence her punishment.
While Melina has worked hard to repair her image in the locker room in recent years, this was a sharp step back and very reminiscent of years gone by. During her previous stint on Smackdown, she frequently clashed with management and her fellow peers as a result of misbehavior, to the point that she landed in "Wrestler's Court" on one occasion.
Melina will be brought back any week, but the feeling is she needed to "cool off" for a while.
WWE star Mr. Kennedy made his long-awaited return to the ring at tonights Florida Championship Wrestling tapings. FCW is WWEs developmental territory based out of Tampa.
Kennedy has suffered numerous injuries throughout his career, with his latest being a dislocated shoulder he suffered in a house show match against Shelton Benjamin in August of last year. Kennedy was recently drafted to RAW, but hasnt appeared on WWE television in months.
As reported earlier, Rhaka Khan alleged to her boyfriend at the time, Kurt Angle, that the other Knockouts had been stealing her clothing and had either stolen or destroyed her laptop computer.
Multiple sources feel her claims are false and the feeling of more than one person is that she made up these stories because she wanted Angle to purchase her new clothing and a new computer.
Khan has been described as a major "head case" among those who have worked with her. It's also been noted that she mouths off to the producers and works stiff with her fellow Knockouts. The feeling among many is that Khan gets away with more than just about anyone in the company because of her ties to Angle.
While they are no longer together, they remain good friends.
- More than a few eyes were raised at UK wrestler Doug Williams showing up looking heavy at the Impact tapings two weeks ago after having him under contract for nearly a year and deciding to finally do something with him.

Shelley said Daniels stole his X-Division title while wrestling as SUICIDE.
