Raw wrestler returns, Questions on Kharma's pregnancy, Traci Brooks, Punk vs. Nash, and Miss USA the wrestler, even more from Hardy, Khali the activist, look at Dusty's career, former WWE Diva visits at house show, preview for Impact Wrestling, WWE talent scouts at Harley Race's training camp, Hart interview, Mysterio update, WWE.com talks with Christian, Hogan interview, and a possible rumorkiller

Mason Ryan returned from injury at a recent house show, defeating Zack Ryder. It will be interesting to see what they do with him now that Nexus seems to be done.

As for my take on PWInsider.com's Saturday questions:
1. I haven't seen anything about it either. It was just kind of "one of those things" that happens that they can't really control. No word on a return date. It's still a good ways off, though.

2. There are spoilers out there that probably clarify, but from the way storylines are headed, it looks like she'll return as "Knockout Law", which was basically a GM for the Knockouts division. I don't know if she'll return to the ring in the role, but she'll presumably be there until they drop her storyline.

3. I'm a little surprised that you don't know the name of his finisher given how often it's namedropped during his matches. Anyway, we'll see if he's able to pull that one off when they almost assuredly compete. More surprising things have happened in matches.

After the break, I look at the rest of the day's news and questions, starting with an update on Rima Fakih.

4. I remember hearing that she's going into acting, but I don't think I've seen anything on that front in a while. I know she still follows wrestling at least, and was upset that WWE signed fellow Tough Enough competitor Ariane Andrews, but other than that I don't think she's done anything on the wrestling front. You'd think TNA would be all over the publicity of a Miss USA wrestling for them, but I haven't seen anything on that front either. I wouldn't expect her to pop up in either company anytime soon if they haven't signed her or had her try out by now.


I haven't heard any updates on #5, so I'll move on.

Matt Hardy says that 8/27/11 is his "rebirth". At some point, this stops being news.

The Great Khali is supporting an Indian activist who's fasting to protest corruption in that company's government.

Here's a brief look at the career of Dusty Rhodes.

Former WWE Diva Lauren Jones visited at a recent Raw house show. I barely remember her.

WWE will give a presentation at the Digital PR Next Practices Summit in NYC this October.

TNA has announced some big items for the next edition of Impact Wrestling:
Winter vs. Mickie James for the TNA Knockouts' Championship
AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels
An update on Jeff Hardy's return
Kurt Angle vs. Sting for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Hulk Hogan will be the ringside enforcer.
That last one sounds particularly interesting.

Ricky Steamboat and William Regal will be scouting talent at an October training camp put on by Harley Race. Hopefully they find some future stars that they feel comfortable putting on TV. They can sign as many developmental talents as they want, but if they keep the same people on the shows (and in the same positions on the card), none of them will make an impact.

Bret Hart talked about his current favorite wrestlers in WWE, and wanting to do another autobiography. Good to hear him putting over the current crop of stars. I agree with him on Daniel Bryan. The Bellas I'm a little less enthused with. Not really sure were that endorsement came from.

Rey Mysterio gave a rundown of his recent knee surgery. Sounds pretty major.

Christian gave another solid heel promo to WWE.com. Him switching roles with Sheamus is working out better than I would have thought months back.

Hulk Hogan gave an interview promoting an upcoming speaking engagement. He's apparently watching a different TNA than others. There are some younger guys pushing hard, but a lot of them are trees falling in a forest with no one there to hear it. I think TNA might have more backstage antics than WWE!

In a Tweet that seems to have been misinterpreted, Kaitlyn made a remark about having generic music. She later stated that she wasn't referring to her entrance theme. Sometimes people make stories where there aren't any.

That's all for Saturday's news. More to come tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
