I decided to go ahead and make this its own thread, just in case someone doesn't want to come across any spoilers in the individual threads.

Use this for whatever spoilers you come across, be it Smackdown, backstage news, etc, for whichever promotion you wish.

A few tidbits from the WWE side, all courtesy of dailywrestlingnews.com

-At one point, there was talk of having Big E Langston face Kofi Kingston for the WWE United States Title at Extreme Rules, instead of Dean Ambrose. That talk ended when Dolph Ziggler was pulled from the card.


-Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns continue to be praised internally for their weekly in-ring work on TV and how much they have gotten over. Ambrose is rumored to be coming up on a lengthy United States Title reign.

-Regardless of what happens with Jack Swagger’s push over the summer, there is still talk of keeping Zeb Colter around as an on-air character. WWE officials are high on Colter and the feeling is he is a credible mouthpiece that can help up and coming talents who need help in that department.

There is talk of having Colter manage his own stable of wrestlers, which may or may not include Swagger.

-Word now is that Adam Cole and Davey Richards have entered into some kind of agreement with WWE and have began the health screening process in hopes of signing talent contracts.

Both talents could be in developmental by the summer.

-Multiple sources report that The Undertaker praised The Shield in front of the locker room after Monday’s RAW in London where they had the six-man match. Taker also praised Daniel Bryan for what he’s done lately.

Great idea. I'm too lazy/dont have the time to dig through all the wrestling sites, so having it compiled in one place on RCF is nice.
 
Some sad news, remember TNA wrestlers aren't paid as heavy as WWE.

UPDATE: As previously reported, Zema Ion had an emergency appendectomy this week which resulted in doctors finding a five centimeter tumor in his colon. Ion is waiting back on results of a biopsy for a status update and will be undergoing another surgery to have the tumor removed. Ion, real name Michael Paris, doesn’t have insurance and a fundraising drive has been set up by his girlfriend at GiveForward.com. You can donate by clicking here. As of this writing, $190 has been raised.

The goal is to raise $30,000 over the next 93 days.

ORIGINAL: TNA X-Division wrestler Zema Ion recently had to be rushed to the hospital for severe stomach pains. He posted the following on Twitter…

“Good morning! Ended up goin to the hospital afterall last night. And long story short….it was one of the smartest things i could have done”

He then added the following update though Facebook, noting that he had appendicitis and that doctors found a tumor on his colon…

“I’m alive! Seriously thank you all for the get well wishes. Means the world to me. I was rushed to the hospital lasts night for sharp stomach pains i was having. I couldnt stop puking. For like 9 straight hours. I didnt wanna go to the hosptial, but the pain was too much to handle. Thank god i went, as i ended up having appendicitis and had to have my appendix removed today. I consider this a blessing in disguise too, coz the cat scans also revealed that i have a tumor on my colon and will eventually need another surgery to try and remove it. Hoping it is not cancerous. Pray for me! This really sucks lol”

Not sure if true, but

Prince Devitt ‏@fergaldevitt
After I win the BOSJ 2013 I'm going to take BULLETCLUB to TNA to beat the shit out of @sonjaydutterson , @ProjectSabin and EVERYONE else

Could be the new suicide?

And MVP wants to join TNA, without actually saying it.

former WWE star MVP recently posted on his Twitter Account that he would like to work with a number of TNA talent:

"I've never worked with Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Mr. Anderson/Kennedy, Bobby Roode and so forth. I've often wondered what that would be like."
"The beautiful thing for me is that my future is wide open wherever I end up. Living life on my terms is an amazing feeling. Live for YOU!"
"To be clear, I didn't say I WANT TO GO TO TNA. I just said they had some guys that are tremendously talented that are on my wish list."

Re: WWE Extreme Rules Thread

Color me very intrigued by Raw tonight:

Paul Heyman is teasing some “#BreakingNews” for tonight’s episode of Raw. Heyman tweeted the following:

“#BreakingNews … @WWE #RAW A New #PaulHeymanGuy? @BrockLesnar @CMPunk”


Heyman then linked to an article on his HeymanHustle.com site, which reads:

“It appears as though WWE needs to brace itself. Following Brock Lesnar’s epic victory over Triple H at Extreme Rules, our very own Hustler De Tuti Hustlers Paul Heyman is set to make history … AGAIN!”

“WWE is about to get a little more EXTREME! Our boss, the Hustler De Tuti Huslters Paul Heyman is keeping quiet on this for the moment, but it appears as though we’re about to be introduced to Brock Lesnar and CM Punk’s new stablemate!”

Re: WWE Extreme Rules Thread

sounds like an RVD move. Hes been unsigned for awhile. Such a talent, but such a pothead.

Good call... maybe:

Several readers have sent word that The Cowhead Show on 102.5 The Bone in Tampa reports that Rob Van Dam will be returning to WWE on tonight’s RAW. This leads to speculation that Van Dam may be the new “Paul Heyman guy” that has been teased today.

The Cowhead Show regularly covers pro wrestling, according to one of our readers, including segments with Sean Waltman as a guest. For now take this as an unconfirmed rumor.

Smart move by WWE. Household names making returns are always great. With Taker, Punk, HHH, and now Cena all taking time off, they're going to need some guys to keep the ship running. Shield will also be elevated more than ever with their tag team champion win and Ambrose title win.

Cena's not taking any time off
 
RVD would be awesome. Hope that rumor is legit.
 
Not big news, but Jeff Hardy will be making his return to TNA soon:

Jeff Hardy has been added to the July 5th TNA Basebrawl event in Brooklyn, NY.

This is traditionally one of the biggest events of the year for the promotion.
 
Carlito is a moron:

“Just watched RAW, two members of the group need to stop believing in THE SHIELD & start believing in THE GYM!”
 
That's funny, Carlito. The two that need to hit the gym weigh 5 and 13 pounds less than you, and both have infinitely more talent.
