The OTTB Wrestling News thread

Henry deserves a strongest man title run; WWE title with no one being able to defeat him or knock him down.

Rumors have popped up about a potential Beth Phoenix sex tape floating around the internet. These rumors appear to be false. An adult video website has been using her name in the title of one of their videos. There are also edited photos of the former WWE Divas floating around as well that have contributed to the rumors picking up steam.

There are talks backstage that WWE management wants to protect Ryback during his match against John Cena. According to sources, they don't want his limited ring skills to be exposed, so a gimmick match is being discussed. A tables match seems the likely choice, as WWE already had the two of them working that type of match on the current European tour.

Former WWE Superstar Carlito took a lighthearted jab at WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler on Twitter Thursday over the one-time Wellness offender's physique. After revealing his goal to become "shredded" again following a muscle-gaining program, the 34-year-old jokingly said he'll look similar to the WWE Superstar, but with muscles.

"Bulking process is done! Now back to being shredded!" wrote Carlito. "Im gonna look like a dolph ziggler...well, if he had muscles!!"

WWE is currently looking for a "telenovela writer," as they want someone who can write specifically for the Latino market and demographic

One of the reasons that Brock Lesnar is being used so soon after WrestleMania and that the Undertaker is working a match on RAW next week is because CM Punk won't be returning anytime soon and WWE feels that they need star power on TV.

The original plan for CM Punk was for him to address the crowd on the RAW after Wrestlemania 29. He would whine about his loss and then "walk out" on the company. WWE held Punk off of that show because officials felt that Punk would get a big reaction from the post-WrestleMania RAW crowd.

But there is more to the story. Punk was not happy with the verbiage that WWE wanted him to use, and didn't want to come off as a whiner. A few weeks ago, Punk had a big blow up with the WWE creative team, and it got to the point that he wanted to give his notice to the company. Punk eventually worked out his issues with WWE management, but it was decided then that he wouldn't work live events, instead just TV and WrestleMania 29.

With the knee injury and issues with creative, the decision was made to write Punk off of TV. While there is no set plan for Punk's return, word is that he won't be back until at least SummerSlam time.

Let me guess that ? is still scared to @ people on twitter he a ? ? ......? !

As noted earlier, CM Punk is currently taking some time off to address several injuries, as well as to allow his knee proper time to heal. Earlier reports suggest that Punk may be off until SummerSlam season, however WWE is advertising Punk for several events this summer.

WWE removed Punk from all Raw tapings through May 13th but is scheduled to appear at the May 13th Raw taping, and most of the following Raw tapings throughout the summer. Also, while Punk is not listed for the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on May 19th, he is appearing on the event screens on WWE.com for the Payback, Money In The Bank and SummerSlam pay-per-views.

Punk has also been removed from most Raw house shows. However, he is advertised for the Raw overseas tour in Japan and Australia in early July.

WWE was originally under the impression The Rock would be wrestling at Extreme Rules next month. However, we’re told the relationship between the two parties began souring just days before Wrestlemania 29.

According to a source that spoke with me under the condition of anonymity, things began to break down on Friday, April 5, 2013. The Rock reportedly told WWE in no uncertain terms that he would not be wrestling at the pay-per-view next month. The company had been leaning towards a triple threat match for the WWE title at Extreme Rules involving Rock, John Cena and CM Punk. The finish would be Rock getting pinned by Cena as the company didn't want a situation that saw Punk going under on pay-per-view four months in a row.

Apparently The Rock objected to going under two months in a row (as he’d already signed off on going under to John Cena at Wrestlemania) and asked for things to be wrapped up in the Wrestlemania main event.

We’re told WWE began scrambling and not having The Rock for Extreme Rules had a domino effect. At the time, Ryback was scheduled to go over Mark Henry at Wrestlemania but it was decided that Henry would be challenging Cena for the title at Extreme Rules. This scheduled Ryback for the job at Wrestlemania.

Ryback was reportedly “very upset” about the new finish, especially when initial Wrestlemania plans had him winning the World Heavyweight Championship. Henry was another interesting case as he was refusing to return at all until he was assured prominent booking of his character.

Between last Friday and Monday, it was decided that Cena vs. Henry might not be strong enough to headline Extreme Rules and plans changed to do a triple threat match like originally scheduled. Except now, the match would be Cena vs. Henry vs. Ryback for the WWE title instead of Cena vs. Rock vs. Punk.

With The Rock out of the pay-per-view plans, WWE was urging him to shoot an angle on Raw the night after Wrestlemania to explain his absence. One idea pitched was for Brock Lesnar to lay him out and plant the seed for a future match between the two, possibly at Wrestlemania ? next year. Sources close to Rock feel he isn’t completely sold on working Lesnar, feeling that match lost some of its luster when both were booked under this year. Instead, Rock wants to face Undertaker at Wrestlemania ? and feels it’s the biggest match that can be done.

This is where the accusations begin. There are some in the company that have questioned Rock’s injury, saying he skipped out on Raw because he didn't want to get locked into a program with Lesnar. There is no way of knowing for sure and we are operating under the assumption The Rock was injured at Wrestlemania 29, but the fact the two sides were at odds just days before Wrestlemania 29 got people talking.

From what we’ve heard, part of the issue is that when The Rock originally came back [to WWE], he dealt exclusively with Vince McMahon to work out his deal and Vince basically gave him everything he wanted. Recently, Triple H has started to get involved and Rock doesn't trust Hunter like he trusts Vince. The Rock and Triple H have had an “uneasy relationship” going all the way back to the 90s and The Rock is well aware Triple H has buried him behind-the-scenes whenever possible over the years.

There are now concerns The Rock may not come back to WWE at all, although most feel cooler heads will prevail in plenty of time to spare before the build to Wrestlemania ? begins. However, The Rock has an easy out, as film studios get very nervous whenever Rock wrestles as shooting schedules are seriously jeopardized by injury.
