– As noted earlier, former WWE Superstar-turned-mixed martial artist Bobby Lashley will not compete on the premiere World Series of Fighting event airing on NBC Sports Network on Saturday, November 3.

Pro Wrestling Torch has confirmed that Lashley will not be competing on the show.

– Monday’s RAW in Albany, NY concluded with WWE Champion CM Punk encountering Mick Foley backstage and giving him a kick to the gut in response to a disappointed glare. Moments later, Punk stopped dead in his tracks upon seeing Ryback staring him down. The segment was also notable for the lack of crowd reaction to Ryback in the segment. According to fans in attendance, the segment was not shown to the live crowd as the Titantron screen was dark as we noted earlier here on the website.

– Dolph Ziggler has been making numerous appearances in the Buffalo, NY area today to promote tonight’s WWE SmackDown tapings.

– The June Entertainment Group posted several videos featuring former WWE star Dave Batista. In the videos, Batista talks about his upcoming MMA debut and his role in the new Quentin Tarantino movie, The Man With The Iron Fists. Here is one of several videos they posted at this link.
