Big change to Smackdown live events, Questions on Punk as a sell-out, Rollins/Ambrose, TNA vs. WWE, TNA's DVDs, and Stephanie, identity of TNA extra, another Joey Ryan shoot, Z! TLIS # 72, and the Impact rating

On this weekend's live events, the WWE Championship match between C.M. Punk, Daniel Bryan, and Kane has been moved to the Smackdown shows (which were previously headlined by Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio for the World Championship). Raw's shows will be headlined by John Cena vs. Big Show and John Laurinaitis. What does that say about how they view the drawing power of Smackdown and the World Championship?

For my take on today's PWInsider.com questions:
1. How can Punk be the Yankees of the WWE if he's still playing second fiddle to Cena? I don't think he's sold out; he's just getting pushed by the company now and doesn't have as much of a reason to rip on them.

2. I've wondered where the rest of the new FCW call-ups are as well. Maybe WWE doesn't want them to overshadow the still-new Cesaro, Sandow, and Ryback. Just a thought. Either way, it's been reported that Ambrose is close to debuting. How close remains to be seen.

Everything else from today is after the break!
3. It was already decided that Christian would appear at the show before the lawsuit came about. So, they were on good terms but now they probably aren't.

4. I haven't seen anything.

5. They are bringing back former GMs to run Raw, so I wouldn't rule out an appearance.

The woman involved in the final segment of the 6/21 Impact is believed to be an actress local to Orlando. No word on how long she'll be with the company.

Joey Ryan talked to Amazing Red in his latest shot at TNA.

Here's the 72nd (!) episode of Z! True Long Island Story.

This week's Impact did a 0.95 rating. Live and 8 p.m. isn't helping their ratings one bit thus far.

More news tomorrow!
