You know what I mean? I shouldn't say they would be wrong, they wouldn't prove that they were right. So now whether he makes it or he doesn't make it, there is a game going on and we're in the middle of the game."

Dave Meltzer on the backstage feuding between management that can be expanded to almost every NXT call up since NXT became Triple H's pet project ( http://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/201...o-see-him-fail). Baically the anti-Owens camp made sure Owens couldn't succeeded just to prove they were right the whole time about Owens not being a possible top star. Also teased the Owens-Cena feud took a drastic swing in favor of Cena once Vince/WWE panicked at Cena's merch sales dropping after the first match.

While a tag match with Sting and Reigns vs. Wyatt and Harper is expected at SummerSlam, it may be a six-man match as the original plan was Sting, Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs. Wyatt, Harper and Erick Rowan but Rowan is out of action with an injury. Dave Meltzer noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that we may see a new Wyatt Family member introduced because Rowan is out. On a related note, WWE is hoping that fans won't boo Reigns because he will be partnered up with Sting but with SummerSlam taking place in New York City, they could easily boo Reigns and cheer Sting

There is talk that Vince McMahon feels Rollins “looks too soft” as a heel in his interactions with HHH and there is concern that he does not come off like a legitimate champion. Vince is reportedly pushing Rollins to be a “dirty” heel that doesnt take crap from anyone, similar to Edge while HHH wants to continue with the current “disappointed dad” angle.

You may have noticed the many apron bumps at last night's WWE Battleground pay-per-view, more than a dozen altogether. One of the most impressive apron bumps last night was the splash from Big E. Dave Meltzer noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE officials are now having talents do more bumps on the apron, which is actually the hardest part of the ring. For what it's worth, Meltzer noted that this new idea of doing more apron bumps is directly related to Ring of Honor.

Besides the apron spots, other stuff the WWE is doing against ROH includes rumors of them buying out arenas ROH books shows in, rumors of them trying to get close to NJPW just so that they drop the ROH deal, and booking upcoming NXT shows directly against ROH's big events to hurt ROH's gate revenues. Also being teased the WWE is making a huge announcement soon which is tied into the WWE-ROH war.

In some cases, TNA will now pay talents a little more per appearance than they were already making, with the idea that it will make up for the loss of the guaranteed pay. If TNA starts booking more dates, the talents could potentially make even more money. There are many TNA talents who are not happy with the change, according to PWInsider. It's possible that some of the wrestlers may turn the new deals down and wrap up their runs with the company. TNA still may keep some top talents like Kurt Angle or Jeff Hardy under guaranteed deals but most of the company will be working under per appearance deals going forward.

As noted, the new Daniel Bryan book “Yes! My Improbable Journey to the Main Event of WrestleMania” will be released tomorrow, and so far the book is generating very positive reviews. Bill Jones of AVClub.com has given the book an A-, and says the memoir is “worth a read.”
One of the more notable passages in the book features Bryan recalling an instance of disrespect, as he tells the story of former WWE star Ezekiel Jackson bullying Bryan into giving up an aisle seat during a flight to WrestleMania.
Bryan says he never really experienced any disrespect from another superstar in WWE, until the plane ride to ‘Mania. Bryan says he was sitting in an aisle seat, when Jackson, who now works as Big Ryck in Lucha Underground, asked “which one of you rookies has an aisle seat?” Bryan responded by saying he did, to which Jackson said “not anymore you don’t”. Jackson was upset that he had a middle seat, and when Bryan said “what do you mean?”, Jackson said “I’m taking it [the seat].”
Bryan said he had already been in a bad mood from the previous night, and didn’t feel like taking any “shit”, so he stood up to Jackson and said “no, actually, you’re not.” Bryan added he would have gladly given up the seat had Jackson asked nicely.
When Jackson got angry with Bryan’s response, Bryan revealed William Regal stood up and chastised Jackson. Regal told Jackson Bryan is like a son to him, and that Bryan has more talent in his little finger than Jackson does in his entire body.
With that, Jackson relented and walked away.

One of the biggest compliments I’ve ever been paid was when Glenn told me that our teaming up was some of the most fun he’d had in his entire career as well, which says a lot. When he said that to me, I had to try really hard not to get too emotional. I responded by telling him I was going outside to tan my taint.
