Though Triple H competed at WWE's Fan Appreciation Supershow in Hartford, Connecticut on Saturday, he has not fully recovered from biceps surgery. HHH's match with Alberto Del Rio was described as "safe" as it basically consisted of him hitting his trademark maneuvers on Del Rio. He wrestled in jeans and a t-shirt and was noticeably lighter. He was wearing the shirt because he can't train to a serious degree at this point.

Chris Masters (WATCH | PHOTOS) After brutalizing Kaval and stealing his spot on Team SmackDown on the Oct. 15 edition of SmackDown, Tyler Reks made it clear to the WWE Universe that he was here to make a serious impact. The dreadlocked devastator brought this focus to WWE Superstars, but he was locking up with a much larger opponent in the form of Chris Masters. As a man who could top Reks in the power department, The Masterpiece had the ability to stop the destructive Superstar, but Reks refused to be outdone. Displaying some serious strength of his own, the California native was able to hoist Masters above his head and slam him to the mat for a commanding victory.
MVP def. Curt Hawkins (WATCH | PHOTOS) It was only three weeks ago on WWE Superstars that Curt Hawkins brutally ended his association with his former tag team partner Vance Archer. Hoping to now make his mark as a singles competitor, the aggressive SmackDown Superstar stepped into the ring with MVP tonight, but was unable to bounce The Ballin Superstar. Realizing that Hawkins was attempting to earn some attention by humiliating him, The Franchise Playa brought his A-game and stopped his hungry, young opponent with The Playmaker.
Zack Ryder def. Tyson Kidd (WATCH | PHOTOS) As lifelong friends that practically grew up in a wrestling ring, The Hart Dynasty earned their reputation in WWE based on their flawless teamwork. But ever since dropping the WWE Tag Team Championships at Night of Champions, the team of Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith has completely lost their ability to focus.

- Women's wrestling star Christina Von Eerie, of AAA fame, may be making her TNA TV debut soon. Von Eerie teamed with Shannon Moore in a dark match against Okada and Cookie weeks back and it was reported that she would debut as a member of the Ink Inc. team.
- It's said that TNA has asked Eric Young to take a pay cut if he signs a new deal the company has offered him. Young's current deal with TNA is expiring soon. Kiyoshi's contract is also reportedly expiring soon but no word yet if TNA has offered him a new deal.
- Independent wrestler Brad Idol received a tryout match with TNA before last night's tapings, losing to Jay Lethal. Idol was announced from Houston, Texas and may be another former student of Booker T's.
Due to Ken Anderson suffering a concussion, he will not be working the November 7th TNA Turning Point PPV.
SPOILER: TNA shot an angle at last night's tapings, putting Matt Morgan into the match to challenge for the TNA Title against Jeff Hardy.
UPDATE: There is currently no timetable for when Ken Anderson will return to action in TNA. Anderson suffered a concussion, and was going to get it checked out this week. Once he is examined, he and TNA will have a better idea of when he can return to the ring.
The word is that TNA wants to be careful with the concussion issue for obvious reasons, and that is why they decided to go with Matt Morgan vs. Jeff Hardy.
