-A Beat the Clock Challenge with Paige, Becky Lynch and Charlotte all competing has been added to Monday’s RAW broadcast. The woman who beats their opponent in the shortest amount of time will earn a title shot at Diva’s Champion Nikki Bella.
Look at the positive, it'll be singles matches & not 9 Diva clusterfucks.

It just keeps piling on for this Zahra dame.
It absolutely feels like a witch-hunt to find dirt on her, but damn, get your shit together. They fired Hogan over things he said from how many years ago, 8? Granted what she said isn't nearly on the level of awfulness that Hogan said, but still, if she knows she's said these kind of things, DELETE YOUR SHIT!!!

- As PWMania.com reported, WWE NXT announcer Rich Brennan has been promoted to the lead announcer role on SmackDown. Now that WWE Tough Enough has ended, it looks like coach Booker T will be headed to Thursday nights in two weeks while Byron Saxton will permanently replace him on RAW.
RAW will be called by Saxton, JBL and Michael Cole while SmackDown will have Brennan, Booker and Jerry Lawler. No word yet on what’s next for Tom Phillips.

– Rich Swann and Biff Busick have reportedly signed with the WWE. They must now pass WWE’s medical physicals, which all new talent have to do when they sign with the company. Both men have competed for EVOLVE, one of WWN’s promotions. WWN officials met with WWE at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn and the two have been rumored to be working together for the past several months.
Swann is only 24 and has been wrestling since 2009. He started with CZW before going to EVOLVE and Dragon Gate USA. He’s a former Open the Owarai Gate Champion, Open the Triangle Gate Champion and Open the United Gate Champion. Busick is 29. He started with CZW in 2012 and is a former CZW Heavyweight Champion. He’s also competed in EVOLVE and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. He was trained by Lance Storm and received a WWE tryout earlier this year.

Biff & Swann signed?
Hooray!!!
As for Zahra, honestly, it's the best thing for Rollins. Granted like I said before, both are assholes for how they started their relationship in the first place, but that's on them. He's the face of the company & doesn't need to be associated with that. I'm sure they'll still be together, just she won't be under the WWE name anymore.
I feel bad for Solomon Crowe, dude simply can't catch a break with a new character in NXT. His "sister" is now fired.
Also wonder if this will effect Rollins at all? There's a pasty Irishman that I fear could make his presence felt soon if WWE decides to not want their champion to be someone who's GF had this Nazi story come up. Then again, Seth's junk was posted all over the net & that was before he became champion.
If Sheamus wins the title, just another thing to blame on Zahra.

Press Conference Updates: Everything We Know So Far On Today's WWE Performance Center Shooting
By Mike Killam | August 31, 2015
31
Orange County police hosted a news conference about the shooting that took place this afternoon outside of the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL.
Here is everything we know so far:
* Local news are saying the man in question, who was banned from appearing on WWE property, was confronted by OCPD and shot after the situation turned violent. We are still awaiting the beginning of the news conference for more information.
* WWE employees were being questioned after the incident.
* Police responded to an incident at a "semi-professional NXT wrestling organization" at 1:30PM ET.
* The man was apparently obsessed with one of the female talents working at the Performance Center. He had recently been arrested and banned from appearing on WWE property.
* Two OCPD deputies responded to the scene and had been told he had a knife. The man began to charge the officers, who retreated "75 to 100 feet backwards" before firing a shot to take down the attacker.
* The man was rushed to the hospital with "a life threatening injury" and is currently in surgery.
* The man has an arrest record, with history of robbery and battery against an officer in the past.
* The officers were in street clothes, with OCPD vests, and gave the subject instructions and multiple warnings, and attempted to retreat from him before opening fire. Only one round was fired. It was not clear whether or not he had a weapon, but the officers had been told he possessed a knife when being called to the scene.
* Corporal Steve Wahl and Deputy Dave Richardson were the two officers at the scene. Wahl fired the shot. At this time OCPD cannot release the name of the man in question.
* There is no indication that the man was a wrestler, or had any relationship with any of the wrestlers at the WWE Performance Center.
* When asked why the officer did not use his taser to take down the attacker, the officer noted that the incident happened very quickly, there was the possibility of a weapon being involved, and officer Wahl made the decision he thought was necessary at the time.

According to Pwinsider.com, WWE sent out word that absolutely no one should comment about the incident yesterday at the WWE Performance Center on social media or in interviews. WWE only wants information being put out by the local authorities.
29-year-old Armando Alejandro Montalvo was the man that was shot outside of the performance center. This was the third incident with him recently, which also includes one two weeks ago where he was swinging a chain. WFTV has an article up, which features comments from friends of Montalvo. Those friends noted that he had some issues mentally, but that they never expected anything like this to happen.
There is video online of Montalvo discussing former WWE Diva AJ Lee, but it appears that Montalvo was recently targeting Lita, who has been working at the Performance Center as part of Tough Enough. When Montalvo was arrested back on August 4t, he was in possession of a sign for Lita. WWE did take out an injunction against Montalvo, but when they attempted to have it served at his home on August 18th, his mother refused to take it.

- As PWMania.com reported, WWE Diva Charlotte was not the woman involved in the domestic incident this past weekend that saw TNA star Bram get arrested due to domestic assault by strangulation and false imprisonment. We noted that the woman involved was Bram’s girlfriend, named Ashley Allen.
It was reported yesterday that Charlotte and Bram quietly split a few months back but they are still legally married. They have a hearing scheduled for September 10th in Florida, which will be the final hearing for the dissolution of their marriage.

Tammy Lynn formerly Sunny in the WWE took to Facebook to respond reports by some aggregate news sites that her former employer is displeased with her employment choices. Below is a link to a series of her statements and beneath this is her Facebook status. Tammy Lynn Sytch’s Thoughts Tamara Lynn Sytch feeling VINDICATED – 4 hrs · guess what?? the wrestling “news sites” are at it again! Now they are ‘reporting’ that the WWE is unhappy with me due to my current career choices and path… WELL….Let me let you all in on a little something…… The last time the WWE paid me ANYTHING was in 2012, a check for $1000, for an interview I did at Axxess during WM weekend. Before that it was 2011, a check for $5000, for the HOF weekend that I was inducted. NOTHING since then, not even royalties. They have done NOTHING to help me pay MY BILLS, and have paid me ZERO in 3 1/2 YEARS!! So, I ask you:::: WHY THE HELL SHOULD I BE CONCERNED WITH WHAT THEIR OPINION IS ON MY CAREER CHOICE, IF THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED IN THE LEAST BIT WITH MY FINANCIAL WELL-BEING AND STABILITY AND ABILITY TO PAY MY LIVING EXPENSES? So I should live in a cardboard box just to make the WWE look good??? I THINK NOT. I’m making more $$ weekly than they used to pay me weekly when I was on the road with them FULL-TIME!!!! SO, until they start paying me weekly, I will continue to do what is best for ME, and no one else. So for now, THAT IS ALL. ( go ahead, so-called journalists…. copy and paste my post…I know you will….losers)….

Is there any info on how much past performers get paid residual wise? Especially with the Network going on? I assume it can't be much. Certainly not enough to live on.
As for this whorebag, though she's likely lying, just the thought of her making more money diddling herself on a webcam than she did when she was one of the hottest women in the world is incredibly depressing. Funny she calls the dirt sheets losers, yet without them, she wouldn't even be in the news (mostly having to do with getting arrested) to begin with.
With the past she's had it's really easy to believe ANYTHING she says though. WWE is probably thinking eh, she can go fuck herself. Which she sadly is doing.
Also I guess "Depressed Former Sports Entertainer/Cam-Girl" is a "career choice" now?

Also with the Snuka stuff, been reading on Twitter, people are wondering if Vince is going to be questioned about this. This could get awfully interesting.
I also wonder if Tamina will take time off to be with her dad?

I also wonder if Tamina will take time off to be with her dad? I know I read an awesome piece about Vince's involvement. It was old, and I can't remember who wrote it. I'm aware that's very helpful. But I remember thinking Vince made the entire situation go away.

Based on what I've seen and read this week, I think somebody in Creative mistook the "Divas Revolution" for the "Dudleys Revolution".

Mick Foley told a story on Legends of Wrestling about Jimmy Snuka coming to the AWA. I've now heard it other places. He was coming in for the 1986 run. He seemed a little out of it for the first meeting. Greg Gagne was talking to Verne and a couple others as Snuka was walking away. Greg: Dad, we don't need this guy. He's fucking nuts. Snuka: You think The Superfly is nuts? The Superfly is not nuts. Snuka goes to a bathroom stall where loud snorting noises are heard. Snuka returns to the meeting. Snuka: NOW.......THE SUPERFLY.......IS NUTS!
