Scott Dawson is very close to being cleared to return to in-ring action on WWE programming.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that according to sources, Dawson is set to be cleared by the end of the month, barring any potential complications.

As previously reported, Dawson underwent surgery for torn biceps in August.

The WWE RAW tag team ranks are about to receive a boost. According to this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Scott Dawson is scheduled to make his return sometime in the middle of December. Dawson of The Revival tore his bicep back in August, the second set-back for The Revival since they have been called up to the main roster. Dash Wilder suffered a broken jaw in April.

The Hardy’s were credited with injuring Dawson via WWE, so it will be interesting to see if they pick up a feud upon Dawson’s return.

HBK Hits Sweet Chin Music

Shawn Michaels is scheduled to be part of tonight’s NXT TakeOver show in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas. Michaels and Johnny Gargano are set for an “ab off,” whatever that is.

Either way, Michaels has been on the road with the NXT crew this weekend in Texas, and he got physically involved in a Friday night match in San Antonio. He was the special referee for an NXT title match between Adam Cole and Drew McIntyre. Kyle O’Reilly tried to interfere on behalf of his partner, Adam Cole, and received the Sweet Chin Music for his efforts.

Scott Dawson Undergoes Surgery

Scott Dawson, one half of The Revival, underwent surgery today to repair his torn biceps. It’s being reported that Dawson will be out of action until December with the injury and rehab. Although The Hardys are being storyline credited with the injury, it actually happened during a match between The Revival and the RAW Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Cesaro.

Jim Cornette Returns To Impact Wrestling

It’s 1985 all over again. At tonight’s Impact tapings in Orlando for Global Force Wrestling, Jim Cornette made his triumphant return to the wacky world of pro wrestling as a “corporate specialist” for Anthem.

Corny’s return happened during an angle involving Bruce Prichard trying to return the GFW World Title, which was stripped from Alberto El Patron earlier this month, to former champion Bobby Lashley. Cornette proceeded to then fire Bruce Prichard and apparently take the reins of Impact.

Maybe I’m in the minority, here, but I don’t think bringing in someone as polarizing as Jim Cornette into a promotion that’s trying to rebuild and rebrand in 2017 is the best idea. He’s not exactly mainstream, to say the least, but then again, with some of the shenanigans from Anthem, Jarrett, and their band of merry men these days, maybe good old Corny will fit right in.

Gotta feel a bit sorry for the GFW roster, though…

Ross opens today’s show speaking about the recent injuries to Bayley and Scott Dawson. He says that injuries never come at a good time, and the key is returning with a vengeance. If you suffer an injury like this you have to get better everyday you’re off, by either watching tape or training if possible. Ross truly believes both of these talents will come back better than before they left.

Ross informs that he started recording his audio book this past week and just as he expected, he’s really struggling with it. The guys who are helping him and listening to him love the work he did, but he really struggled to get through it. It was very difficult stirring up all those memories once again, and he always hated the way he sounded, so this project has become quite difficult for him. Nontheless, he says his book is very raw and very real.

Ross says that he hasn’t heard from WWE lately concerning the planned WWE Network UK special. He says that the project is still highly regarded in WWE and it certainly still has a pulse. He believes it’s just a matter of time before it sees the light of day on the WWE Network.

He believes that the two SummerSlam main events have a chance to be special. The important thing about these matches according to Ross is that the losers have to get over as well as the winners. The Fatal 4-way allows plenty of room for all four men to get their stuff in and shine, and the WWE Championship match between Orton and Mahal should be presented in a way where both men come out stronger than they went in.

Scott Dawson suffered an injury to his right bicep and could miss this year’s SummerSlam event.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that it’s unclear exactly when the injury may have occurred, but he did appear at Saturday’s WWE Live Event wrapped up. While a partial tear can heal in three to six weeks, surgery would require him to be out of action for up to four to six months.

The Revival were rumored to be involved in a triple threat tag match wit The Hardy Boyz and The club at SummerSlam but those plans can now be off the table.
