News

According to WrestlingObserver.com, Mistico was in San Jose tonight, not scheduled to wrestle, but to try out for the road agents/producers prior to fans arriving in the building.

Also at the Smackdown/ECW tapings tonight, according to Pro Wrestling Insider, it was announced that Great American Bash tickets go on sale Saturday. The show will take place in San Jose and feature talents from all three WWE brands.

That being said, WWE.com now lists ECW wrestlers as “Superstars” — no longer “Extremists.”

Sunday at 9pm, NBC’s Deal or No Deal (in its new timeslot) will feature WWE Champion John Cena, ECW Champion Bobby Lashley, and former World Tag Champions Edge & Randy Orton.

Monday at 9:15pm in Canada, RAW will air — up from its usual 10pm slot — according to WrestlingObserver.com.

At LAST night’s RAW, Shelton appeared to get injured during his Money in the Bank qualifying match. According to Pro Wrestling Insider, when Benjamin slipped from the ropes, the ref yelled something towards the timekeeper area, and then after the match was over, and throughout the Vince segment, Benjamin stayed in the ring, holding his head and neck as the ref checked on him. He was able to walk to the back with the ref’s help.
