- For what it’s worth, two of our correspondents at last night’s SmackDown tapings in Omaha, Nebraska noted that one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Roman Reigns may have been injured in the main event. Apparently Reigns tweaked his ankle during a six-man tag match with The Shield vs. Randy Orton, Big Show and Kofi Kingston. Reigns started limping after a spot with Orton on the ring apron. Reigns was seen limping around the ring during the end of the match and was helped to the back by a referee right after the finish. A post-show beatdown by the babyfaces took place but only Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins were involved.

- Depending on whether or not The Rock decides to return to wrestling, Brock Lesnar may return to WWE TV later this year to begin a feud with either Rock or The Undertaker. It turns out that the spot on RAW a few weeks ago where Lesnar stopped and stared at a poster of The Rock wasn’t scripted by WWE officials. Apparently that was Lesnar “going into business for himself.” While nobody knows if The Rock will return yet, Vince McMahon and others in the company feel that he will be feeling better this fall and agree to work WrestleMania XXX against Lesnar.

- Going into WWE Extreme Rules, there had been talk of doing something with a gimmicked ring in either the Strap Match or the Steel Cage Match. This was brought up in a meeting the week before the pay-per-view. Presumably, the idea was nixed when they decided to go with the breakaway wall gimmick for the finish of the Ryback vs. John Cena match. - The current plan is for Randy Orton vs. Sheamus to be a featured match at this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view, meaning one of them would have to turn heel soon. Orton has been rumored to turn heel for about a year now. Another Huge SummerSlam Feud Planned, New Pics of Divas Working Out in Spandex, More… Source: F4Wonline.com

- The recent New York Post article on Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer made the rounds backstage in WWE with some of the wrestlers remarking that Meltzer’s office looked exactly as they figured it would – a mess. - WWE is looking at hiring a new commentator, likely for Main Event. This isn’t necessarily an indication that they’re looking to get rid of The Miz or anyone else as they’re constantly looking for new commentators. - There was talk at Sunday’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view that Randy Orton’s punt kick was a one-time thing for the gimmick pay-per-view and for Orton’s appearance before the hometown crowd. With Orton not using the move on Monday’s RAW, the feeling is it was more than likely just a special spot for the pay-per-view.

- Representing WWE, Jim Ross will be meeting with officials from the NFL Players Association in Washington, DC. Ross is looking to develop a working relationship that could see the NFLPA send players whose football aspirations have ended to WWE for tryouts. Ross told Alex Marvez and Jim Miller on their SiriusXM NFL Radio show Tuesday night: “Everybody doesn’t make the 53-man roster. Some guys are going to be looking for work, and we’ve got some job openings. Maybe we can put the synergies of those two entities together and create something wonderful some day.” JR also told Marvez that he has spoken with WWE executives about initiating a relief effort for victims of the Moore, Oklahoma tornadoes this week. Ross lives in nearby Norman, Oklahoma and watched as the storms hit. Must See Rear Shots of Layla, Big Plans for CM Punk’s PPV Return, More…

You may know it as the Vertebreaker, the Cop Killa, the Gringo Killer, or even the Kudo Driver. The last one is at least a tribute to the move's innovator. However, that innovator, Megumi Kudo, named it the Kudome Valentine, so that's what I call it. It's one of the most brutal-looking head drops in wrestling, so instantly, you should know I'm a fan of it. Here's a MONTAGE!

- WWE’s website has posted a storyline update on Triple H after Monday’s RAW. Dr. Michael Sampson noted that they advised Triple H he shouldn’t wrestle after Extreme Rules because of head and jaw trauma he suffered.

He noted that more neurological tests will be conducted near the end of the week when Triple H’s headache has subsided. - WWE also has a storyline update on John Cena. Dr. Sampson noted that Cena is banged up and has multiple contusions from the Extreme Rules match but he is doing better than anticipated.

Believe or not, there once was a time when John Cena wasn't reviled by half of the WWE Universe. He was, dare I say, loved by just about everyone. So when he won the WWE championship at WrestleMania 21, defeating John Bradshaw Layfield, it was a celebration. Even when he busted out that disgusting trinket that was just recently put out of its misery as the promotion's flagship title, it was okay because it fit his character at the time. And even if there were some doubters following his win in Los Angeles, they were pretty much quelled a month later on this date in 2005 at Judgment Day when Cena retained his title against JBL in an absolutely awesome "I Quit" match. Bloody and beaten, Cena forced the former champ to verbally submit and helped prove "The Doctor of Thuganomics" was more than a rapping white boy from Massachusetts. When the going got tough, he could scrap with the best of them. Check out the match:
