Randy Orton, Naomi and The Usos are all off this weekend SmackDown Live Events but will return for television this Tuesday.
The reason Orton has had time off is because he has vacation time. Naomi and The Usos have been off filming for an unknown project, which is being rumored to be a spin-off of Total Divas. Orton, The Usos and Naomi are scheduled to return to weekend Live Events next weekend.

One male fan didn’t like her post and wrote the following response:
“Hahaha you post a picture of yourself on #MemorialDay could you be anymore of a self centered worthless pig?”
Her husband Sheldon Souray had the following remarks to say towards the fan’s negative comments:
“looks like you lost a fight with a barbell there you meathead. Does it make you feel like less of a man that a young lady that was/is adored and admired by so many brave men and women protecting our country for dipshits like you?!! Does it bother you that My wife is a young successful powerful woman with a heart of gold that put her life on the line to put a smile on a few faces?! Whatever the reason is that you felt compelled to write a moronic post on her page, just shows what an absolute piece of shit you are. I can’t respond to every big dumb idiot like yourself that trolls a superstar like @thebarbieblank but I couldn’t let it slide that you are a giant clown. So next time your trolling her social media looking at her stunning pictures that her fans really enjoy, keep your mouth shut. It’s hard to be dumber than you look but you’ve proven your point.”
Kelly responded to her husband sticking up for her with the following:
“that’s my man always having my back !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you baby!!!! #killedem @bigguyheat take a walk you troll because my man just showed you whose boss!!!!!”

WWE will return to Full Sail University on July 13th and July 14th for the Mae Young Classic that will feature around 30 women wrestling in a tournament similar to the Cruiswerweight Classic.
While the company has already announced Jim Ross as one of the announcers for the event, it’s expected that the show will feature a female announcer too. It’s not known exactly who it will be, but it could possibly be Lita, Renee Young or someone completely new.
There will also be female referees for the tournament. Kennadi Brink debuted this past Thursday at an NXT Live Event as a referee, so it’s very possible that she will be one of them along with others.
We have also been informed that the backstage interviews and ring announcers are also expected to be women.
While no names have been confirmed for the tournament, Toni Storm, Kairi Hojo and Io Shirai are two of the latest names rumored for the two-day event.
We will keep you updated if we receive any more notes regarding the event.
Smart Money bets are now coming in for Sunday’s WWE Extreme Rules events. Unless there is a drastic shift over night, The Miz is expected to leave the event as the new WWE Intercontinental Champion.

Aside from WWE being interested in signing Adam Cole to an NXT developmental deal, there is another wrestler that they are also interested in.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dalton Castle is on their radar and the company may attempt to pursuit him. It’s being said that his deal with Ring of Honor is up this month and WWE has shown “great interest” in him. The feeling is that he could be a major Superstar in NXT if the two agree to a deal.
If WWE does decide to reach out to him, he will not be debuting for the company right away if a deal is signed. WWE has a new policy where talents must wait at least 90-days until after their ROH contract runs out to appear on their television. This was done because of past legal issues between WWE and Ring of Honor.
Dean Ambrose is scheduled to defend his Intercontinental Championship against The Miz at Extreme Rules with the stipulation being that the title will change hands should Ambrose get disqualified.
It’s being speculated that Ambrose could get disqualified and lose the championship at the hands of Elias Samson. The Belief is that to follow up on one of the lyrics to his song this past week, which included the phrase “an eye for an eye.” If you remember, The Miz attacked Samson during his debut match and is likely the person to whom the “an eye for an eye” line is directed at.
While speaking to Sport Illustrated, former WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio reveals that he had conversations with Impact Wrestling about working for the company, but thing’s didn’t pan out. He did however reveal that he would still like to work for the company, however he wouldn’t want to be under a contract.
“I was actually in conversations a while back with Impact about doing some shows. To be honest with you, it’s not that I don’t want to go work for them, it’s just like I didn’t have it in my game plan. I also didn’t have Lucha Underground in my game plan before it was created. If the circumstances were right, I wouldn’t mind going. I’m not interested in signing a contractual deal, but I would love to do some shows. People want to see diversity in their opponents and fans want to see their dream matches. If people want to see a match-up, let’s make it happen.”
