He said at the end of the day, he was still going to be at Survivor Series and he thought the two girls were going to have a great match and that would lead to people forgetting about the angle.
Also, despite reports to the contrary, Ric's co-host Conrad said the story that the angle was Charlotte's idea is one hundred percent false.

Flair very clearly wasn't happy with the angle, and wasn't approached prior or after it happened on television, saying "I never heard a word about it. I started crying when I was watching." He reiterated that Triple H, Stephanie and Michael Hayes wouldn't do anything to intentionally hurt Charlotte.

Recently, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin talked about Seth Rollins' injury on the Steve Austin Show - Unleashed! During the show, Austin said that Rollins' injury is an opportunity for the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion to retool and come back with a different attitude. Austin said that he still believes Cesaro will put the pieces together and get over in spite of WWE. Also, Austin claimed that Roman Reigns should follow in the footsteps of the Rock and have a heel run before turning babyface as the company's top star ...
On the subject of Rollins' injury, Austin stated that getting sidelined with an injury is a good opportunity to assess the lay of the land and come back refreshed.
"It might be the same Seth Rollins or it might be a Seth Rollins with a little bit of salt and pepper or a Seth Rollins who comes back full of piss and vinegar and vengeance and is on a mission because his whole world, literally, got yanked out from under him. Yeah, it was due to an injury, but because everything has changed when he comes back he has that much more impetus to go back and reclaim the gold. So he could come back with a whole different mindset and a whole different attitude. It's almost a chance for him if he needs to retool or reinvent himself to some degree."
The episode was taped before last Monday's RAW, and when Austin was told that Cesaro was going to face Reigns in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament, he replied, "oh jeez, you know where that's going!" Austin stated that he still believes that Cesaro will put all the pieces together to get over with the fans, but WWE isn't doing him any favors.
"I think the guy is just so damn good in the ring. I see eventually he will put all the pieces together, but [WWE is] not helping him any. He [has] got to put the pieces together to go up on top of the card." Austin continued, "Cesaro, you have hopes for because he can do so much [and] he looks so good. He only speaks 17 languages! He can go all over the world and promote for [WWE], so there [has] got to be a way to get this guy figured in a little more and get his ass over."
According to Austin, Reigns should turn heel before getting the number one babyface spot in WWE. Austin indicated that Reigns has the look and the body to be a top star in the company, but his in-ring work and promo skills must continue to improve.
"I think Roman needs to be a heel. Go through that journey and then evolve into a babyface. To me, it's almost going to mirror what the Rock did. [WWE] brought him in as a white meat baby. People hated him and they wanted to hate him. And then, all of a sudden, the Rock started taking over the Nation of Domination. He was the alpha male in that group. All of a sudden, the promo skills come alive. The character comes alive. The personality comes alive and he turned into the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. Now, I don't expect Roman Reigns to do that. I expect Roman Reigns to be Roman Reigns, but that's the road that the Rock went down. I just think, organically, that's the way it's going to play out for Roman Reigns. Now, you can try to put him in that babyface spot, that number one spot, right now to see what happens and I'll be very, very interested to see, if indeed, that's what they do because I'm just waiting on the edge of my seat to see what happens."

Over the past few days and this past weekend, there was a big push within the WWE creative team for Dean Ambrose to make it to the tournament finals and leave Survivor Series with the WWE World Heavyweight Title, according to PWInsider.
Either way, it looks like Reigns vs. Ambrose will be the Survivor Series main event. While there are a lot of people within WWE pushing for Ambrose to win, this does not mean he will as the final call is always made by Vince McMahon.
It will be interesting to see, if they do go with Reigns vs. Ambrose, if it's babyface vs. babyface or if one of them turns heel. No one expects Reigns to turn heel but there's a lot they could do with an Ambrose turn.

Given that UFC is also on Fox, you have to imagine there is some hope for cross-promotion and, dare we say it, a cageside interview? We have gotten reports that the show is being taped at least in part in Washington State.

Akiyama stated that all of AJPW's contracts are now pay-per-appearance.
Akiyama said they would probably not be able to keep up such a busy schedule, and the author concludes by stating that AJPW is likely to stop touring across Japan, will stick to the greater Tokyo region, and is more akin to an indy like Pro-Wrestling ZERO1 at this point in time.

Similar to AAA in Mexico, Japan's AJPW has been having one of its worst years in a while.

Dixie Carter is in Los Angeles this week and the belief is that she is there for TV negotiations as the company looks to find a new home when their run on Destination America ends.
As first reported last week by Jason Powell’s prowrestling.net, WGN has come up as a potential new home for TNA. TNA had talks with WGN last yer before they finally settled with Destination America. For those asking, there is nothing to the Spike TV rumors. We emailed a rep at Spike TV and they tell us that there is no interest in bringing back TNA Wrestling ...
The other network that has come up in recent days is the POP TV network. POP TV currently airs Paragon Pro Wrestling on Saturday mornings. The belief is that Carter is in Los Angeles for meetings with them since their headquarters are in the Los Angeles area.
TNA’s deal in India would pay them a substantial amount of money so if they needed to buy their way onto POP TV (Paragon Pro Wrestling pays for their Saturday morning timeslot) then that would be an option and their India TV deal would keep them afloat. We were told that they are close to coming to terms with one network.

TNA has also been sending offers to Rey Mysterio to get him to sign with the company.

- In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, assuming Del Rio doesn't beat Reigns in the WWE title tournament, this will be just the 4th time in WWE history both wrestlers in a WWE/World title match never won the belt prior to it. The other times being DiBiase-Macho at Mania IV, Rock-Mankind at Survivor Series '98, and Christian-Del Rio at Extreme Rules '11.
- Also in a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, the WWE has been around for over 1800 years and even has footage of matches going as far back as the 100s AD :shifty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv3V1dFTsPs
