In addition to Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn and Charlotte, Sasha Banks is set for this week's WWE TV tapings. My guess is she'll team with Charlotte again in some capacity.

Bray Wyatt was busted open at Saturday's live event due to an errant punch by Ric Flair. Flair might have gotten Wyatt with the Hall of Fame ring. Ouch!

Update: Wyatt needed seven stitches, but won't miss any ring time.

Daniel Bryan will be on the cover of WWE Magazine's August issue since he was originally in the plans for Summerslam. As far as I know, that doesn't mean he's expected to be back by then. I believe that's still up in the air.

Anthony Bourdain made the news for praising his experience at a WWE show. That's pretty cool.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Set for Thursday's NXT:
- Sami Zayn vs. Tyson Kidd
- The Vaudevillains vs. Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady
- CJ Parker vs. Xavier Woods
- Sasha Banks vs. Alexa Bliss
- Adam Rose vs. Jason Jordan

Should be some good matches from that.

Cameron vs. Naomi is set for the Kickoff show for Battleground. That works for me. AJ vs. Paige getting to be on its own makes more sense, I think, if they're going to do an angle (like turn Paige heel). I look forward to Sunday's show. Cameron and Naomi just might surprise us.

Set for this week's Impact (the first episode from the NYC tapings):
- No DQs or Countouts: Madison Rayne vs. Brittany
- X-Division Championship Gauntlet match: Austin Aries vs. Eddie Edwards vs. Manik vs. Davey Richards vs. DJ Z vs. Tigre Uno vs. Crazzy Steve vs. Sanada
- Tommy Dreamer and Bully Ray vs. Ethan Carter III and Rhino
- TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Lashley vs. Jeff Hardy

I think that's a really stacked lineup. TNA knew they needed to knock it out of the park going into NYC and I think they're going to do everything they can to deliver.

As was mentioned on Raw, Flo Rida will be the guest next week in Miami. I really hope he works with Heath Slater again. Sandow would be more fitting in 2014, though. I also hope Sandow is a future World Champion, but for whatever reason his current gimmick is growing on me for being so absurd.

The Wyatt Family will be at Thursday's NXT tapings. For some reason I really want to see them feud with The Ascension. The latter team needs a manager, though. Corey Graves? Paige? Daffney? Father James Mitchell/Sinister Minister? I think a good mouthpiece is the missing piece to their puzzle. I think in some ways the gimmick works better if Konnor and Viktor don't talk.

The former KENTA could be undergoing a name change in NXT. He's working on his English. I can't wait to see what he can do. NXT has some good prospects, and we could be in for more with Steen and Devitt rumored to be signing soon.

John Cena has been pulled from San Antonio Wizardworld due to movie commitments. He's being replaced by Bray Wyatt and the Bella Twins. That will be pretty interesting with Bray's character.

WWE.com added Jeff Jarrett to the Alumni section of their site. They probably just did it to get web traffic, as evidenced by the ridiculous picture they used. Then again, I can't say I expected them to put up a picture of him in a "Don't Piss Me Off" shirt. Don't expect any kind of GFW plugs from WWE or anything.

Emma and Mark Henry were backstage at Raw, as was Sam Houston. I can see Brock wrecking Henry again in the build to Summerslam to show he's still a badass. I think Henry's bump card is just about full, but maybe he surprises us and comes back swinging soon. Emma should be the new head of the Rosebuds, but I think she'll stay in timeout for a while.

Smackdown jumped back to 2.54 million after the Independence Day holiday. That's down from two weeks ago, but within the normal range.

Ric Flair also worked Sunday's show, introducing Charlotte and Sasha Banks before their loss to Natalya and Nikki Bella. I want to see Layla and Summer Rae feud with Charlotte and Sasha Banks on the main roster. That would probably be the best thing to come from Layla and Summer working together.


Following the announcement of his inclusion in WWE 2K15, WWE is now selling Sting merchandise. That's still crazy to me. I can't say I expected Sting to never appear in some capacity for WWE (read: Hall of Fame, DVDs), but it's bizarre to actually see it.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I definitely think Mike Tyson being in WCW would have been a big coup and could very well have meant big business for them, but I'd be surprised if they lasted a lot longer than they actually ended up lasting due to so many other factors.

2. Yes, it would only hurt PWInsider for posting intentionally false info. I generally only report things that have already been reported elsewhere and never try to claim someone reported something they didn't report. Sadly reposting news from other places can lead to a "telephone" effect where something gets lost in translation and it ends up morphing into a totally false story.

3. Some of it could be that people are expecting something surprising to happen before/in addition to the last segment, then tune out when it's the main event they already know about. Three hours is quite the marathon, though.

4. Kofi is effective in the role of "doing a memorable spot" and is a reliable performer for getting good reactions despite his win-loss record. One theory about Sandow is that Vince or whomever just really likes making him the butt of jokes or in that comedy role and this is actually a way for Creative to show his strengths/get over in that role. The "burial" theory is also pretty popular. Hopefully one day we know the definitive answer.

5. I'd say there's an extremely remote chance we see Punk in TNA. He seems to be pretty content to be out of the wrestling game. I don't see Spike/TNA ponying up that much cash for someone who has little-to-no interest of wrestling.

More wrestling coming up.
