Former WWE Divas Champion and wife of WWE mega-star turned UFC hopeful CM Punk, AJ Lee, has officially launched “AJ’s Animal Avenger” collection, which in conjunction with the “Beautiful Disaster” clothing company, features four t-shirts and one shirt for dogs.

Proceeds of “AJ’s Animal Avenger” collection will go to the “PAWS” charity based out of Chicago. You can check out AJ’s new collection at BDRocks.

The aforementioned Beautiful Disaster Clothing company made the following announcement:

AJ reached out to Beautiful Disaster Clothing, a long-time favorite brand of hers, to collaborate on creating an exciting clothing line to benefit PAWS Chicago.

“Beautiful Disaster represents society’s misunderstood rebels – strong, brave women and men who have overcome adversity and shout their individuality from the rooftops.

Together, PAWS Chicago and Beautiful Disaster are the perfect match!” she said. PAWS Chicago is grateful for the partnership, which will directly help save the lives of homeless pets.

“This past February, I was home healing from a surgery and was struggling to keep a positive attitude. I needed a purpose greater than throwing a daily pity party for myself,” said Brooks. “I’ve been a rescue dog mom several times and occasionally found comfort in scrolling through pictures of animals on various adoption center websites, just to fantasize about adding to the family. Then I found my guy on pawschicago.org.”

She continues, “The second I saw his face, pointy bat-like ears, soulful eyes, pronounced under bite, hilariously messy hair, with a bit of an attitude problem to boot – I knew I had found the one. I excitedly showed my husband [UFC Fighter, CM Punk] and he immediately fell in love. We both had a deep connection to this mutty misfit. A few days later the little Wolfman, we named Larry Talbot, was a member of the family and helped nurse me back to health. Our little guy has endured such a hard past but is nothing but gracious and loving. He has brought so much happiness into our home that I wanted to find a way to give back to the amazing people who took care of our furry baby before we could.”

WWE.com caught up with Lana on Monday afternoon after TMZ broke the news that she is engaged to Rusev. The revelation of Lana’s engagement to Rusev in real life as they are feuding on television has lead to WWE acknowledging the relationship and wrapping up the angle with Ziggler and Summer Rae.

Lana told WWE.com:

“It’s very obvious Rusev proposed to me. If you watched Rusev and Summer, Rusev has always loved me. He was just so devastated about me picking Dolph that he went with Summer to make me jealous. But at the end of the day, we know we’re good for each other.”

“I am from the former Soviet Union; Rusev grew up in Bulgaria, and one common thread they teach you there is to survive. The winters get very cold and they get very dark. We do what we need to do to survive. This is what is happening. We will be leaving the greatest legacy this company and the WWE Universe has ever seen.”

“Ziggler is very funny and he’s charming, but he is not The Super Athlete. With me, Rusev was the undefeated Super Athlete. He listened to what I said, he was very focused. We made each other better. He challenged me and I challenged him. Summer has made him so soft that he hasn’t won. You tell me, who is the better pick?”

Alberto El Patron will no longer be appearing at Saturday’s wXw show in Mannheim, Germany due to a dispute over travel arrangements. According to wXm, El Patron is refusing to appear because he wants to be flown there via Business Class, not Economy Plus as per their agreement.

“With great regret that we must by Westside Xtreme Wrestling and Swiss Wrestling Entertainment you announce that Alberto El Patron will not perceive its bookings in Europe.

We have fixed these dates already December 2014 after its cancellation for Superstars of Wrestling and then have flights from a particular city with a certain airline in the category Economy Plus agreed. Corresponding screenshotsof its management are.

On Saturday we have now written and six days before the event in Switzerland requires a flight from a small Mexican State in the category Business Class Albertos manager – cost point for this flight are at present around 7000 US dollars.

We have of course made and offered to cancel the flight, Alberto pay the cancellation fee and to allow him or his management book itself through its existing frequent flyer miles a flight on our existing agreement. This has rejected his manager and decided that Alberto El Patron and El Hijo de Dos Caras their bookings at 16.10. in Bern and at 17.10. will not perceive in Mannheim, despite the existence of the agreed flight.

Although this is outside our control, we would like to apologize wrestling fans with you – a collaboration with this wrestler and this management is excluded for us in the future”

Kane Kicks Off RAW — And He’s Running The Show Tonight

This week’s show opens up with Kane backstage. He’s on the phone with The Authority. Triple H tells him that he and Stepanie are running late and that he is in charge until they get there. Kane is happy. He grabs a nearby staffer and tells him to find Seth Rollins and inform him that he has a match tonight. It will be Seth Rollins in a LumberJack Match tonight on RAW — against Kane!

With thatn said, the regular RAW video intro plays and then we head into the ring in Chicago, the site of tonight’s show.

Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, The New Day & Kane

Dean Ambrose makes his way to the ring. He cuts a quick babyface promo when out next comes Randcy Orton. Orton sucks up to the Chicago fans a bit and then he tells him that he’s going to have a partner at Hell In A Cell — it will be Ambrose and The Viper taking on The Wyatt Family.

Ambrose and Orton can’t seem to get on the same page and just when it seems they’re going to lose their patience with each other and go after each other, The New Day’s music hits and out they come doing their usual routine.

The New Day members taking turns telling the story of how The New Day became the biggest force in WWE today all in one night by taking out The Dudley Boyz and John Cena.

Finally, just when it seems Ambrose and Orton are about to lose their cool with The New Day, Kane pops up and makes a match — which will take place right now.

Dean Ambrose & Randy Orton vs. The New Day

With everyone already out there, Xavier Woods simply drops down to the floor and starts playing the trombone as a refereee hits the ring and officially starts the match. Ambrose and Orton jump out to a quick offensive lead and we immediately go to a mid-match commercial break. The action continued through a second commercial break, until finally Orton is thrown into Ambrose, knocking Ambrose out to the floor and resulting in Orton being pinned.

Winners: The New Day

Nikki Bella vs. Naomi

After a quick backstage segment where we see Kane waiting on The Authority to call him back, we head back to the ring for our second match of RAW this evening. The “Divas Revolution” continues in WWE as Nikki Bella takes on Team B.A.D.’s Naomi. The finish in this one saw Twin Magic almost go wrong for Nikki Bella, as Brie was being stopped, however Nikki used the distraction to hit her Rack Attack finisher for the victory.

Winner: Nikki Bella

The New Paige

We see footage of Byron Saxton talking to fans about Paige’s new attitude and then afterwards, he talks live with Paige herself. Paige spoke about how the fans haven’t given her any credit for the ongoing “Divas Revlution” in WWE. She pulls out a Payday candy bar and has a line about how victorty never tasting so sweet.

U.S. Open Challenge
– John Cena (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler

John Cena makes his way out to the ring. He puts over Chicago for a bit and then announces a U.S. Open Challenge. With that said, Dolph Ziggler comes out and the two battle for quite a while until finally Cena finishes Ziggler off with an Attitude Adjustment.

Winner and STILL U.S. Champion: John Cena

Cesaro Speaks On The “Cesaro Section,” His Favorite Wrestlers to Work With, & More

Eric Lynch

Cesaro recently spoke with Upvoted.com to promote WWE and NXT. Here are some highlights:

On the “Cesaro Section” trend:

“The first time I saw the Cesaro section was a couple years ago in Nashville and it was very cool. Since then, it has become even stronger. My favorite part about it is that it came organically and was the fans’ initiative in support of me which is very humbling and makes me proud. It is something that connects me with the fans and motivates me to keep doing what I’m doing.

I was not expecting that huge show of support [at the San Jose RAW taping] because it kind of slowed down at one point. After my two matches with John Cena it started to gain momentum again. When I walked out for the MIZ TV segment it was crazy and there were Cesaro Section signs everywhere—which was one of the coolest feelings I have had since joining WWE. After that, it just kept growing with more and more cities picking it up.”

His favorite wrestlers to work with:

“There are a lot of Superstars I love being in the ring with. I tend to have great chemistry with whomever I step in the ring with because of the way I train and came up in this business. If I had to name a few, I would say people like Sheamus, Kevin Owens, and John Cena are all great guys to be in the ring with.”

On NXT’s popularity, and his match with Sami Zayn at Arrival:

I would like to think it had some type of influence [on NXT’s popularity]. It was an honor to be the first match on the first live WWE Network special. That is something nobody can take away from me and it was a huge milestone I was involved in. That is something I am very proud of and is part of my “body of work” as Dream would say. It has helped make me who I am today, and it is definitely one of my favorite matches I have been a part of in WWE.

Dolph Ziggler Says Current Era Beats Attitude Era, Bothering Cena With His Storyline

Dolph Ziggler recently spoke with Sam Roberts for the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. Here are some of the highlights of what DZ said about:

Why he thinks the current WWE roster is better than the Attitude Era roster: “I get a lot of crap for saying that my generation and behind us, [who] are on the way up [to the main roster], are so good that it’s not even close and you can complain and argue about everything ever, but, cool, the Attitude Era, wrestling was really in for 18 to 34 year olds who, like, love it and now we have all these guys who are so awesome at their job and it’s a totally different era, but I’m very excited for how good everyone is.”

Finally getting some character development in WWE: “For the longest time I was in random cold matches for 30 minutes and tore the house down for no reason and everyone complained, ‘why isn’t he in some kind of a story?’ Now I’m in a very different type of story on [WWE Monday Night RAW, WWE Smackdown, and Total Divas] and everyone’s like, ‘can’t he just get two [segment] matches?'” Ziggler continued, “I’m finally getting some character development! It’s on Total Divas, but we’re getting down to some real life stuff and it’s pretty good!”

His thoughts on John Cena not liking his storyline on Total Divas: “After a while, you reach a certain point to where you know what your talent is, you know what you’re capable of, and you have to not care. And 10 years ago, Attitude Era guys told me to step on some toes. How am I not doing that right now? You have to not give a damn to stand up for what you want to do and that’s what I’m doing.”

James Storm made an impact last week when he attended NXT Takeover: Respect and then made his NXT in-ring the following night at the NXT TV tapings from Full Sail University.

It turns out that it was actually Billy Gunn who was instrumental in Storm working with WWE. The two are good friends behind the scenes and as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center, Gunn helped open the lines of communication between the two sides.

There had been some reports that TNA made a last minute ‘big money’ offer to get Storm back, but PWInsider states that TNA simply reached out to Storm in hopes of getting him to join their upcoming tour of India, without any promises of a bump in pay.

Seth Rollins Talks About WWE Fans Stalking Him, His Ethnicity

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins recently spoke with the Chicago Tribune to promote tonight’s RAW from the Allstate Arena. Among the topics discussed are overzealous WWE fans who will do whatever it takes to meet him, including stalking him at 4am while he’s traveling. Rollins said,

“I’m not mean to fans because I’m a bad guy. I’m mean to them because they’re rude. If they stalk me at the airport at 4 in the morning, don’t expect to get a picture. That’s not OK. They can’t hang outside my hotel or come to the gym and stare at me for a half hour and expect me to be like “Cool. Awesome.”

My favorite thing is to just run into fans coincidentally. Today the National Car Rental guy recognized me and got so excited and wanted to take a picture. Awesome. It was a fan that happened to run into me. To me, there’s a distinct difference. Don’t get me wrong — our fanbase is super passionate and I love them, but there’s a difference between stalking me at the airport and just happening to see me.”

He also revealed that he is not Hispanic, despite the fact that his last name is Lopez. Rollins is actually half Armenian and half German/Irish and the Lopez name comes from his mother’s first husband, who is Mexican.

Ex-WWE champ turned UFC fighter CM Punk’s new Marvel comic series “Drax” will hit shelves on November 4th. Drax follows the adventures of the Guardians of the Galaxy team member of the same name. This is the same character Batista famously played in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Punk made his debut as comic book writer back in February, with the release of a story partially written by him in Thor Annual Vol 4 #1.

Marvel released the premise of the first issue of his new series today:

“Drax the Destroyer is the muscle for the Guardians of the Galaxy, but what does he do when he’s not adventuring through space with the Guardians? He lets his bloodthirsty quest for revenge take the pilot seat, of course! Determined to find and kill Thanos once and for all, Drax is ready to take on the universe. But when you’re tooling around the universe in a ship aptly named “The Space Sucker”, an unwavering desire for bloodshed isn’t enough to keep a mission from derailing. Drax crash lands into his wildest adventures ever, encountering foes no one will ever expect! The depths of space may not be big enough to contain this much grit, vengeance and all-out action!”

Pro wrestling author and blogger Scott Keith of BlogOfDoom.com has provided some interesting news regarding John Cena’s upcoming 6-8 week hiatus from WWE.

A source in the fitness industry told Keith that Cena will be hosting a new fitness-themed reality show for the FOX network that will premiere in the Spring of 2016. The show begins shooting on October 26th, the day after Hell in a Cell and production continues until the first or second week of January.

The explanation seems to add up. Cena reportedly requested the time off several months ago, indicating it was for an outside project, not an injury or ‘personal issue.’
