During a segment at Smackdown tapings yesterday, a segment which will probably not make it on television, it was announced that Daniel Bryan will have to undergo a second surgery to fix his arm.
The second surgery was originally scheduled to be done this past August but then doctors thought he’d be okay if he continues rehab, thinking the strength in his arm will eventually come back slowly. This was not the case and now the former champion will be going under the knife again to finally repair his arm.
Bryan underwent neck surgery a but more than a month after WrestleMania when he was still the WWE World Heavyweight champion. He only managed to defend the title once on a pay-per-view and was eventually stripped of the title belt when it was clear that he was not going to return anytime soon.
His rehab was featured during the season 3 of Total Divas with the company keeping him in the public eye while he was out injured.
You will see Dave Batista reprising the role of Drax The Destroyer in Guardians of The Galaxy on May 5, 2017, a date revealed today by Marvel along with other several dates for other Marvel movies.
Guardians of the Galaxy has so far made $328,650,120 in the United States along with $424,000,000 in foreign box office receipts for a worldwide total number of $752,650,120. It holds the biggest 2014 opening so far and is third in the last of the biggest grossing movies of the past year.
The former WWE champion might also be involved in The Avengers: Infinity War along with the other cast members although that has not been confirmed yet. The first part of that move will not come out until May 2018.
The Survivor Series pay-per-view got its first main event last night during Raw with Team Cena taking on Team Authority.
This will be a traditional Survivor Series elimination tag team match, presumably 5 on 5, a type of match which unfortunately isn’t featured much anymore at the Survivor Series.
The participants of the two teams have not been announced yet. The Survivor Series will take place on November 23, 2014.
The mid-season finale of Total Divas on Sunday night did 1,133,000 viewers, up quarter of a million viewers from last week’s two back-to-back shows.
Titled The Divas Are Taking Over, episode 10 of season 3 saw the wedding of Eva Marie, the problems of Nattie and TJ continuing, and the Bella family talking to John Cena behind Nikki’s back.
Total Divas season 3 continues on January 4, 2015, with two new additional members to the cast – Paige and Alicia Fox. You can see the preview of part two of season 3 below.

Once more, I have managed to avoid the results of Hell In A Cell, so tonight’s Raw will be a surprise for me. Even though the WWE World Heavyweight Championship – which is usually the biggest guess/main draw – was not on the line last night, I’m still intrigued at the outcome of three matches: the IC 2-out-of-3 Falls (Go Ziggler), Ambrose/Rollins (was undecided last week) and Randy/John (hopefully, Orton!) The Pay-Per-View did look to have a great card, and some interesting future storylines depending on the outcomes…
To see where it has taken us, let’s read on!
Monday Night Raw TV Report for October 27th, 2014 – “Side ‘A’ or Side ‘C’?”
Introduction Segment: Video Promo
Recap of last night’s Hell In A Cell Pay-Per-View starts off, showing the results of the two Hell In The Cell matches.
Segment #2: Arena Promo
Lillian Garcia welcomes us live to Raw now, with The Authority – Triple H, Stephanie, and Kane – in the ring already. Both Stephanie and “The Game” put over the HIAC PPV, as well as Seth Rollins, who defeated Dean Ambrose. “Mr. Money In The Bank” walks out with Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury.
Stephanie wants another reaction for Seth, so she receives a chorus of boos. Rollins touts his accomplishment of beating Ambrose (albeit with help from Bray Wyatt) and is looking ahead, to John Cena. He mock’s Cena’s signature hand gesture, and says that he will “leave him in a puddle of his own failure.” Seth is scheduled to face John later tonight.
Randy Orton now marches out and is displeased with his loss to Cena at Hell In A Cell being mentioned twice already. He goes on a tirade against Rollins, then they engage in a brawl. The rest of The Authority are able to separate Orton and Rollins, then Triple H tries to talk him down. He appears to work, until Orton suddenly R.K.O.’s Seth and walks to the back! Mercury and Noble collect a dazed Rollins, while Kane, Stephanie, and Triple H follow them up the ramp.
Later tonight, Hall Of Famer Hulk Hogan will be here, and up next, The Dust Brothers defend their Tag-Team Titles against The Big Show (who lost to Rusev) and Mark Henry!
Commercials.
Match #1: Tag-Team for the Tag-Team Championship – The Dust Brothers (Goldust and Stardust) (Champions) VS. The Big Show and “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry (Challengers)
(Note: During Show/Henry’s entrance, a video is shown of them in the locker room talking about Henry somehow costing Show his bout against Rusev at HIAC; in other words, read “team dissension.”) Mark and Goldust begin, with “The World’s Strongest Man” dominating until Goldust makes the tag to his brother. The two big-men completely control this contest for the early part, until a brief argument over Show tagging Henry ensues.

Goldust now has Show in a grounding front-facelock, which Big punches out of. Goldust punches back but is tossed in the air with a flapjack! Show makes the hot-tag to Henry, who is all over Stardust. He tries an over-the-shoulder-powerslam, but Stardust hops out of it and chops Henry’s knee. Goldust and Stardust continue to switch and take over the tempo of the match.
Show makes another tag to Henry, which “The World’s Strongest Man” is not pleased with. Show takes care of both Stardust and Goldust, but Henry predictably comes in and drops Big with The World’s Strongest Slam. He chucks Stardust on top of Show to give the brothers the victory!
Winners via Pinfall and STILL Tag-Team Champions: The Dust Brothers (Goldust and Stardust)
Post-match, an angry Mark gives Show two more World’s Strongest Slams.
Up next, Roman Reigns will provide an update on his health and recovery!

Match #2: Single – Divas Champion A.J. Lee VS. Alicia Fox (with Paige) (Non-Title)
(Note: Paige is on commentary) Fox all over A.J. early, dropkicking her out of the ring, then ramming her into the corner a bit later. A nice position on a Northern-Light suplex gives Alicia a two-count, then she clamps on a grounding rear chinlock. A.J. turns a scoop-slam around into a tornado DDT, but gets a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker quickly after. Paige goes to the apron and yanks Alicia’s ankle, which allows A.J. to roll her up for the 1 – 2 – 3!
Winner via Pinfall: Divas Champion A.J. Lee
Post-match, Paige goes ballistic on Fox, throwing and sling-shotting her into the corner barricade. She repeatedly slams her head into the corner. Lawler walks over to help Alicia as Paige backs off and screams “I don’t need a best friend!”
Also in the lineup tonight, Dean Ambrose will take on Cesaro. Up next, the #1 Contender (yet-again) to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, John Cena, will be out.
Commercials.
Segment #5: Arena Promo
John Cena is all happy after becoming the new #1 Contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He cuts his usual promo, both pleasing the fans by putting them over and their local National Basketball Association team, the San Antonio Spurs, and ripping into both Lesnar and Rollins. He says that Seth is “the future,” but tonight “I am going through the future!”
Stephanie McMahon now joins John in the ring. She is in suspense for the main event tonight, featuring Cena and the “standard bearer of the WWE, Seth Rollins.” McMahon also announces that there will be a traditional tag-team match at Survivor Series (for $9.99!), then offers a “business proposition.” Steph wonders why Cena “panders” to the crowd, when they clearly call out “Cena sucks” many times. McMahon wants to make him “do what is best for business.” Stephanie tells John that the fans “don’t matter,” but still wonders why he sacrifices so much for the adoration of the fans, despite their own reservations about him. Stephanie says The Authority are the true ones who will support him; they will give him some “insurance” to “guarantee a victory.” Stephanie almost begs Cena, saying he is worthy of the “accolades” and the “respect.”
Cena gets the fans riled up and informs Steph “hell-no,” declaring that he is not a “sell-out.” Triple H also tries to convince him joining, but relents and makes him face Team Authority at Survivor Series, with whomever he can find to help out. “The Authority is the future, and whether you like it or not, you had better smarten up to the fact that The Authority always wins.”

Match #3: Tag-Team – The Miz and Damien Mizdow VS. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey)
Miz and Jimmy begin with standing headlocks. Miz kicks Jimmy in the corner, then clamps on another standing headlock. He gives Jimmy a shoulder block, and a knee-to-the-gut to Jey who was tagged in. The fans want Mizdow to be in, but Miz refuses the tag. Miz is knocked to the floor, so Damien follows up and lays down beside him. This sets up The Usos to soar over the ropes with a double-plancha!

Miz back in control, wearing down Jey with a grounding rear chinlock. Both Miz and Mizdow rule this contest for a while, until Jimmy gets some momentum. Eventually, Jimmy and Jey make a switch, as Jey small-packages Miz to take this one!

Post-match, Miz and Mizdow complain that The Usos cheated.
A camera focuses on Dolph Ziggler and John Cena, who are conversing backstage and ending with a handshake.

Hall Of Famer and former WWE Champion Hulk Hogan is brought out to put over John Cena and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. He invites the women ringside who have survived Breast Cancer and are involved with the Foundation to pose with him.
Bo Dallas is walking backstage, and up next, he will make an open challenge to anyone.

Match #4: Single – “The Inspirational” Bo Dallas VS. ???
Bo invites anyone to come and challenge him, so a returning superstar answers the call; Ryback! He’s back, and back to form, polishing off Bo quickly with the Meathook Clothesline and Shellshock Marching Samoan Drop!
Winner via Pinfall: Ryback
Up next, Dean Ambrose is in action!

Match #5: Single – Cesaro VS. Dean Ambrose
(Note: they show an interview with Randy Orton, where he yelled at the interview that he “dealt” with the problem of The Authority. Orton stormed to towards more of the backstage area.)
This bout doesn’t even get underway, as after an Ambrose promo in which he wants to figure out Bray Wyatt, he blasts Cesaro with the microphone and continues to whale on him. The referee is able to pull Dean off Cesaro; then Wyatt appears on screen.
Bray talks about seeing himself in Ambrose. “We both are victims of a system that makes men tortured. Things that will make others ‘cringe’ and ‘grimace’ excite people like you and me. This world is not made for us. Think about it, think about it.” Wyatt says he knows him because he is him. “Run Dean, run.”

Match #6: Nikki Bella (with Brie Bella) VS. Naomi

Match #7: Single – “Corporate” Kane V.S Intercontinental Champion “The Show-Off” Dolph Ziggler (Non-Title)
Dolph plays a quick mind game, wanting to lockup but escaping to the outside. He slides back in and slugs away, then continues to punch at Kane. The 7-footer counters a run with a shoulder block, then begins to work over Dolph. He wears down Ziggler with a grounding rear chinlock, but Dolph counters with a jawbreaker. Kane runs at him, but Dolph pulls the ropes down, sending Kane tumbling to the outside. He follows up with a dropkick for a break.

This time, Dolph leaps on Kane in the corner and rapidly punches him. Ziggler brings Kane down with a neckbreaker and a leaping elbow drop as he gains more momentum.
Dolph goes for the Fameasser but Kane reverses into a big sidewalk slam. Kane climbs the turnbuckle, but misses his patented diving clothesline, giving Dolph an opportunity for the Fameasser! Ziggler covers, but still only gets a near-fall!
Kane goes for the chokeslam, but Dolph hops out and superkicks him! He tries the Zig-Zag, but Kane pushes him off and boots him in the head for two! Kane attempts another chokeslam, but Dolph reverses again, sunset-flipping “The Big Red Machine” to take the victory!
Winner via Pinfall: Intercontinental Champion “The Show-Off” Dolph Ziggler

He points at The Authority, who are glaring at him and observing from the top of the ramp to close the show.
End Of Raw.
Reporter’s Rumblings – By Moe Tapp
This was a pretty good Raw, following Hell In A Cell. I love how they setup Survivor Series already, and again, made it intriguing. Onto the analysis:
Excellence: Randy Orton’s promo – did not like the fact that he lost at H.I.A.C. (more on that in Bogus) but absolutely loved his irrate-ness at The Authority. He is definitely back as the “unpredictable viper” and that is what makes him great/not boring! Also, he’s gotten a good amount of cheers lately, so I’m sensing a big face-turn now. Added bonus to how Seth sold the R.K.O.!
Glad Paige has seemed to split from her “best friend” phase, and now can go back to being a butt-kicking loner, which she was best at on NXT.
Triple H/Stephanie’s promo to counter-act John Cena’s usual talk. They made some great points, and really displayed more passion that Cena in that interview.
A pretty decent Tag-Team bout between Usos & Miz/Mizdow; loved the surprise of the TRUE Ryback being back and taking names. Happy to hear the good pop he got too, and I could see him being a good fit for Cena’s team now.
Fantastic matches between Kane/Ziggler, and Cena/Rollins, respectively. Plus a very good, sort-of out-of-nowhere ending with the big clash. Obviously, you can probably predict a bit on who’s going to be on which team, but at least the fight between most of the wrestlers put some into question.
Really quick, I will predict Cena’s team: Cena, Ziggler, Ryback, Orton, and either a returning Reigns or Daniel Bryan!
Bogus: I did not like both Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose competing tonight; they should’ve had at least this week off from wrestling to sell the brutality of their Hell In The Cell match. Why did Cena have to win again? Even though his team VS. The Authority at Survivor Series could be good, I think Orton deserved the spot for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship more, and it could’ve been a good storyline for him VS. Lesnar/Heyman, especially following last week. They still could also do Team Cena VS. Team Authority.
Nikki/Brie waste of time right now. I’m hoping A.J. moves into a new Diva feud for the Championship; perhaps bring up another NXT Diva? Not excited by another “big-man” feud, with Henry and Show. I really liked them as a powerhouse team better.
Was disappointed by Roman Reign’s interview. It was too short, and nothing new from the last time he appeared on camera. I think they just need to keep him out of sight until he’s ready to come back, and then have a big surprise return, like they did with Ryback tonight.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed Raw again this week, and the added “search” for Cena’s team provides interest in the weeks to come. Here’s hoping they keep it up! Until next week, as always, Be Excellent Wrestling-Online Readers and Wrestling Fans!

There are several rumors that WWE is removing the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view from February and changing the name to Fast Lane.
In the past the Elimination Chamber was used to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight title for WrestleMania, with the winner of the Royal Rumble more often than not chasing the WWE title. But now there’s only one major title and there’s no reason to have a gimmick match a month before Mania.
The event might be moved at a later month, possibly to determine the number one contender for the title for SummerSlam although it’s not known if the whole PPV will be moved or the Elimination Chamber match would be part of a different pay-per-view.
Variety is reporting that former WWE champion Randy Orton will be starring in The Condemned 2: Desert Prey, a co-production between Lionsgate and WWE Studios.
The movie follows a former bounty hunter who finds himself on the run as part of a revamped Condemned tournament, in which convicts are forced to fight each other to the death as part of a game that’s broadcast to the public.
The Condemned 2 will start production in New Mexico later this year with Roel Reine directing from a script written by Alan McElroy.
The Condemned, which had Stone Cold Steve Austin in the leading role back in 2007, remains the lowest grossing WWE Studios movie which was released in theaters. It did jut $8,635,183 in worldwide box office receipts.
Here are the results from last night’s Hell In A Cell pay-per-view which took place from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

The kickoff show will have no match but there will be a Mizdow TV segment with Damien Mizdow hosting, and special guest The Miz.
The Washington Post has published an article outlining WWE’s new domestic violence policy, a policy which has been added to the Talent Wellness Program.
When asked about the change, WWE told The Post that they have “watched and learned” from the NFL and the company felt it was important for them to establish a “zero tolerance policy for domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.”
The Post says that the new policy might be a little bit too late, mentioning the Chris Benoit double-murder suicide in 2007 and the Steve Austin domestic abuse claims by his ex-wife Debra Marshall in both 2002 and 2004.
Airing head to head with Hell In A Cell, E! will be airing the season 3 mid season finale of Total Divas at 9PM EST.
The synopsis for episode 10, which is titled, The Divas Are Taking Over, reads, “The Divas are in the midst of getting ready for SummerSlam and Eva’s wedding day when Brie confronts John behind Nikki’s back, leading to explosive consequences. At the same time, Nattie is caught in a downward spiral when the truth about her marriage is revealed.”
This season has not fared as well in the ratings as the other two seasons with the show only getting over a million viewers three times in nine attempts. When E! aired double episodes back-to-back over the past two weeks numbers have taken a big hit compared to previous weeks.
Brian Flinn, the WWE’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications, has given the first comments regarding the lawsuit brought forward by former wrestler Billy Jack Haynes.
“Billy Jack Haynes performed for WWE from 1986-1988. His filed lawsuit alleges that WWE concealed medical information and evidence on concussions during that time, which is impossible since the condition now called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) had not even been discovered,” the statement said.
“WWE was well ahead of sports organizations in implementing concussion management procedures and policies as a precautionary measure as the science and research on this issue emerged. Current WWE procedures include ImPACT testing for brain function, annual educational seminars and the strict prohibition of deliberate and direct shots to the head,” Flinn wrote.
The statement also says that WWE has donated money for concussion research conducted by the Sports Legacy Institute, leaders in concussion research, and WWE Executive Vice President Paul Levesque sits on SLI’s Board.
You can read the full lawsuit here.
The Portland Tribune is reporting that former WWE wrestler Billy Jack Haynes is suing WWE for “egregious mistreatment of its wrestlers for its own benefit, as well as its concealment and denial of medical research and evidence concerning traumatic brain injuries suffered by WWE wrestlers,” in a 42-page lawsuit which was filed two days ago in Portland’s U.S. District Court.
Haynes is also asking the court to grant class-action status for what his lawyers say could be 500 people who suffered injuries while wrestling or performing in the WWE ring. The attorneys who took over this mammoth task are Steve D. Larson and Joshua L. Ross of the firm Stoll Stoll Bernie Lokting & Schlachter.
“WWE has engaged in a campaign of misinformation and deception to prevent its wrestlers from understanding the true nature and consequences of the injuries they have sustained. WWE’s representations, actions, and inactions have caused its wrestlers to suffer from death, long-term debilitating injuries, lost profits, premature retirement, medical expenses, and other losses as alleged herein,” the lawsuit states.
Haynes, who is now 61, wrestled for WWE between 1986 and 1988, and said that he suffers from depression and exhibits symptoms of dementia from his several blows to the head.
The lawsuit also asks for WWE to establish a trust fund to pay medical monitoring of all wrestlers and frequent medical checks as well as to pay to develop and research methods by which the risk of those affected can be reduced.
Halloween is right around the corner and who better to pull some pranks at WWE Headquarters than The Boogeyman?
Last week The Boogeyman was posting photos on his Twitter from the WWE HQ in Stamford, Connecticut, and now we know why he was there.
As a Halloween prank, WWE decided to scare some of its own employees, with The Boogeyman hiding around corners, behind doors, in elevators, and captured it all with cameras placed in strategic places.
The result is actually pretty hilarious especially the one where he’s standing behind a door before a meeting is about to start.
You can see it on WWE.COM.
According to several sources, the Undertaker has taken on a new job within WWE, working within the developmental department to help shape up future WWE Superstars and Divas.
The man with the 21-1 WrestleMania record has been present at the WWE Performance Center and will be going there every few weeks to help out the younger talent.
PWInsider.com also adds that Taker was backstage at the NXT television tapings on Thursday at Full Sail University.
Triple H heads up the whole program and considering the two are big friends it does not come as a shocker that HHH asked for his assistance. The Undertaker has not been seen on WWE television since his dramatic and shocking loss to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans.
Bobby Lashley improved his mixed martial arts record to 12-2 after yesterday defeating the former undefeated Karl Etherington during Bellator 130 on Spike TV.
Lashley only needed one minute and thirty one seconds to pick up the victory after delivering rapid punches while having his opponent’s back. Etherington tried to hiptoss Lashley but failed, and then tapped out just before the referee was about to stop the fight.
“That’s what this sport is about. You don’t want to stay too long because you risk the chance of getting hit back. As soon as I had that opportunity, I went a little nuts,” Lashley said.
TNA’s Bobby Lashley returns to the cage tonight with Bellator MMA for an event on Spike TV at the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.
Lashley – whose MMA record sits at 11-2 – will be fighting undefeated Karl Etherington – 9-0 – in his 14th professional mixed martial arts fight. His opponent has finished every one in the first round so it will be interesting to see how Lashley fairs tonight.
Lashley last fought on September 5 after an absence of just over a year from MMA. If he wins this would be his fifth win in a row.
