According to a new report by WWE.com, Jey Uso has undergone surgery to repair issues with his shoulder. The story notes that the injuries happened at WrestleMania, but they are referring to the injury angle done early in the match to get him out of the action.
WWE physician Dr. Stephen Daquino stated that Jey suffered an anterior shoulder dislocation on the left arm. He underwent surgery last week to tighten his rotator cuff and shoulder capsule to repair the injury, which had been bothering him prior to WrestleMania.
At this time, it is estimated that he will be out for six months.

Daniel Bryan is reportedly have trouble with his health. He’s still having problems related to his injury last year and is said to be in “rough shape”. That’s why he hasn’t had a match on RAW for the past two weeks. It’s also why WWE has been putting him in six-man tag team matches. They want to protect him by limiting his in-ring time.
Meanwhile, Daniel Bryan’s upcoming biography doesn’t mention AJ Lee at all. Lee was a major party of the storyline between Bryan and Sheamus, which led to the match at Wrestlemania 28 that changed Bryan’s career.

On one hand I hope he gets healthy. If they never had plans for him to win the Rumble, he should've never come back. Reigns wouldn't have gotten booed as badly without Bryan around and Mania wouldn't have taken that big of a hit without Bryan on the card. The fans knew he was gone to heal from injury. Bringing him back was a bone headed move. Fantastic to see him back, but still, bigger picture.
That being said, with Smackdown 2 weeks away for my town, I fear I won't get to see him wrestle. So the selfish side of me really hopes I do, but I fear we'll get Big Show/Rollins vs Orton/Reigns. Especially considering it's the Smackdown after Extreme Rules.

The only thing that matters is whether or not you get Neville!!!! That also might be around the time Finn Balor debuts. He keeps touring with the big boys if I'm not mistaken, so he must be thisclose.

As noted, WWE did make an offer to Ring of Honor tag team The Briscoes, but the brothers ended up staying with Ring of Honor. According to F4WOnline.com, the counter offer made to The Briscoes by ROH was much better than the offer made by WWE. When The Briscoes went back to WWE to get a better offer, WWE wouldn’t budge on the initial offer, so the brothers re-signed with ROH. Dammit. I'm tired of watching them on 80's cable access quality television. Vince could have made a shit ton of money with them in the Wyatt stable. |

Red Arrow live is ridiculous. That being said, I hope we see Balor, even if it's in a dark match. But I assume we'll see R-Truth vs Slater for that.
Bryan being out for a bit, even off TV matches at least, that'd open a spot for a guy to start to get over more against more established talent. Neville could be a very interesting choice. He's fought Rollins & Ziggler already aside from the Axe-man twice. He's not stuck in a certain tier yet. Having him involved in these kinds of matches would get him over quick.

I think Neville is being setup for a big win. |

Spoiler for Smackdown: We already knew Sheamus & Ziggler would more than likely have a match at Extreme Rules & they will. The stipulation? A "Kiss My Arse" match. Are you fucking kidding me? Then again, hell, this month is free on the Network anyway, who gives a fuck from a creative standpoint. (they won't care until a few weeks before Summerslam anyway)
I suddenly miss the Stairs Match concept. Ziggler deserves better. Sheamus deserves a better haircut.
Oh and Kidd/Cesaro takes on Cena/Bryan in the main event. So at least there's that.

Not good......
UPDATE: Pwinsider.com has confirmed that Daniel Bryan has been pulled from the WWE European tour following last night’s Smackdown tapings. When reached for a comment, WWE stated the following…
“Daniel Bryan has been pulled from the remainder of the UK tour as a precautionary measure.”
ORIGINAL: Wrestlezone reports that according to the most recent advertisements, Daniel Bryan may have been pulled from the rest of the WWE’s European tour. He’s no longer advertised but WWE has yet to make an official announcement.
As we previously reported, Daniel Bryan has reportedly been working hurt and still has health issues from his neck injuryl ast year. WWE has been trying to protect him by booking him in six man tag matches and keeping him off of RAW. Bryan worked last night’s Smackdown taping, teaming with John Cena against Cesaro and Tyson Kidd.
Once again, WWE has yet to make an official announcement, so just consider this a rumor for now.

Leaked documents tied to a lawsuit filed by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) reveal that the sports-entertainment company assigns a letter grade — from A to F — to each of its millions of fans to denote a given fan’s willingness to put up with nonsense and spend copious amounts of money.
According to the documents, fans who receive a score of “A” are the spoiled children of wealthy parents who buy every piece of merchandise on WWEShop.com, and who splurge thousands of dollars to sit ringside at pay-per-view events because they get to keep the chair.
A fan who ranks an “F,” on the other hand, is a self-described “IWC smark” who only buys sarcastic Top Rope Tuesday shirts, illegally pirates the WWE Network to watch old Clash of Champions events, and spends countless hours criticizing “the Fed” in online forums.
The documents contain the following “Quick Fan-Ranking” guide:
A: Fan wants new Cena merch every bi-weekly color change; thought WrestleMania 31 was “best one ever”; believes it’s all real fighting and doesn’t try it at home.
B: Fan never misses a pay-per-view, regardless of deleterious effects on social life; does “Yes” chant until arms hurt; quickly forgets bad storylines.
C: Average fan — covets Paige; doesn’t smell great; contributes $9.99 monthly to WWE.
D: Fan brings giant cardboard Colt Cabana head to live events; still wears tattered DX t-shirt; doesn’t cheer Reigns.
F: Fan would rather attend indy show than Raw; remembers Katie Vick angle; can name entire roster of Pro Wrestling NOAH.
According to the documents, the long-term sustainability of WWE is assured, because there’s an “A” born every minute.

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
Numbers are in for January and February, and WWE live attendance has remained consistent with an average of 6,600 paid tickets for U.S. house shows. This is consistent with the 6,455 average in 2014 and 6,474 average in 2013.
In even better news, WWE is pushing an incredible amount of merchandise through their website. On average they’re selling 1,357 orders per day which is up over 60% from what they were doing in the same time frame last year.
Unfortunately their DVD sales are down big time, over 70% in January and February combined. There are likely multiple factors including the WWE Network having so much in the way of “free” content, but it also comes down to the popularity of year-end releases. The fourth quarter of 2013 saw the release of a Triple H and Goldberg collection, the 50th anniversary and RAW 20th anniversary specials and the usual PPV’s. Fourth quarter of 2014 saw the Sting collection, the Slam City network shorts, “True Giants” and the usual PPV’s.
While live events have stayed consistent and website sales have skyrocketed, ticket sales from the last tour in Abu Dhabi were ugly. Out of the 14,200 fans in attendance only 5,100 of them had actually purchased their seats. The previous year’s tour had a legitimate 15,000 tickets sold — and that’s with the highest ticket prices WWE had ever charged for a live event, anywhere in the world.

So Tits & Hippie did an interview & apparently they want a spin off show from Total Divas. Ugh..
"Brie and I definitely want to do a spin-off; a show which will focus on our family and also includes our men. I think it would be amazing. We have this group of girlfriends which we've kind of introduced to the world, but not really. Not only are they beautiful but they have personalities that you wouldn't believe, they kind of remind me of Cameron Diaz's character in the film 'There's Something About Mary'."
I don't watch Total Divas & I wouldn't watch this garbage, but if there was one thing Cameron Diaz's character in There's Something About Mary was known for.......is that hair gel?

The Pussification of America continues. I hope this isn't true:
This is from Justin LaBar at Wrestlezone.com
"According to WWE sources, the company will be banning Seth Rollins from using the curb stomp finishing move.
WWE’s feeling about the move, which the WWE World Heavyweight Champion uses as his finisher, is that it’s too much of a direct liability and risk for a head injury. All of sports is trying to be more proactive when it comes to preventing head injuries and concussions, and this is the reason for WWE banning the curb stomp.
WWE reportedly doesn’t want its top star to be doing that move every night and they also don’t want to be showing it in past clips or videos anymore. This is why last week on RAW when Rollins came out, the video which played during his entrance was primarily just graphics of his name. The normal entrance video for Rollins features a compilation of clips, several of which are him performing the curb stomp."

This is just crazy if true. Where do you draw the line? Can the Big Show still fist people? What about the Superman punch? The RKO leads the head first into the mat. The 10 Beats of Boredom are 10 direct shots to the heart area.

Unless you're RVD or Ziggler, who are the only two people I've seen getting close to being driven down on top of their head, the move is fine.
Brogue Kick from Shay-Moose is a leaping boot to the mush. Ambrose Dirty Deeds is a double arm DDT right down onto the head. There's other finisher that are just as, if not more dangerous than Rollins finish.
Only thing I was surprised they did was actually call it a Curb Stomp. I'm fine with it, but the butt hurt society we live in, I'm surprised no one has bitched about the name.
If they are going to get petty & bitch about stuff, they should ban the use of the fisting motion Reigns does before the Superman Punch. As it imitates a sexual act.

In other PPV news, if Naomi does in fact replace Paige in the Divas Title match at Extreme Rules, it is expected that Nikki Bella will be working the match as a babyface as WWE is currently pushing Naomi as a heel. WWE tested The Bellas out as babyfaces at the Bournemouth, England live event should Naomi end up replacing Paige.
Makes as much sense as anything else.
