As noted recently, WWE Superstar and leader of The Wyatt Family, Bray Wyatt, suffered an injury during a six-man tag-team match at the non-televised WWE live event in Providence, Rhode Island on Saturday night.

The match, which featured The Wyatt Family vs. The Prime Time Players and R-Truth, saw Wyatt chasing Darren Young around the ring, and then bumping awkwardly into the guard rail outside of the ring. According to live reports, Wyatt was carried back to the dressing room by Erick Rowan and Luke Harper, and immediately examined by WWE medical personnel.

According to a new report, Bray Wyatt suffered some sort of calf injury, and not a knee injury, to his right leg. While there aren’t a lot of specific details available at this time, the injury is apparently not a serious one.

WWE is claiming they are planning a return tour to Abu Dhabi, or using what they are describing as a successful tour to springboard into other tours in the Middle East.

The WWE Live Events executive Patrick Talty noted in a recent local news interview that WWE was especially pleased with their ability to draw younger fans as well as having the audience up-to-date on current WWE television storylines.

“The Middle East is a priority market for us as a company and we look to grow in this region and Abu Dhabi is a great foothold for us to launch more events. Abu Dhabi will be one of those shows that we keep doing, the demand is here and we want to keep providing our fans with that entertainment,” Talty told The National publication. “It has been a very young audience and that’s what we like to see, they’ve been great. We will be back, I don’t know exactly when yet, but I can guarantee we’ll be back.”

WWE apparently received pretty regular media coverage from The National throughout the week for their weekend tour of Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

The following are highlights from a recent VOC Wrestling Nation interview with DDP Yoga intern Dylan Frymer:

On the progress of Jake “The Snake” Roberts: “I want to make it clear that Jake is a year clean off of cocaine. However, he recently had a problem with alcohol that we documented on YouTube. Since then, I’ve been going on the road with Jake as an accountability partner. I keep him accountable to himself. We’re a tag team on addiction. Food is my addiction, and (Jake and I) help each other.”

On getting involved with DDP Yoga: “In 2008 I was going to meet DDP at a convention in NJ. I was 290 lbs at the time, and I was one of the first people to sign up for the YRG program (the former name of DDP Yoga, “Yoga for Regular Guys”) My mom sent an email to Dallas and he actually responded back to me personally. I was one of the first 10 people to do YRG and I lost 110lbs.”

On moving into DDP’s “Accountability Crib”: “I fell off the wagon after a bout with depression and gained most of the weight back. Depression is real. I was originally approached to come and live here with Jake, but I was in a funk (and said no). Then I saw that Scott Hall moved in and it really impacted my life; I reached out to DDP on facebook and let him know that Scott Hall inspired me to (overcome depression) and that I lost 20lbs. DDP called me and asked me to move into the Accountability Crib and work with him as an intern, and the rest is history.”

Backstage Heat On “Total Divas” Star Eva Marie, Set Up To Fail By WWE Management On Monday’s Raw

Daniel Pena

As seen Monday night on Raw, Eva Marie made her televised wrestling debut as she and fellow Total Divas JoJo and Natalya defeated Alicia Fox, Aksana and Rosa Mendes in a Six-Diva Tag Team Match. The 29-year-old’s performance drew negative reviews online, as her inexperience was put on display before millions of viewers (prior to the match, she had only wrestled before a live crowd once, a non-televised tag team bout at SummerSlam Axxess in August). It has since come out that this reaction was sought within WWE as she was purposely set up to fail by members of management.

Dave Meltzer claimed on F4WOnline.com’s Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE officials wanted to knock the confident Californian down a few pegs, since they feel she has an undeserved ego and doesn’t realize how much she has to learn as a performer. Therefore, they had her sink on national television in hopes of making her humble.

This is not the first time in which Eva Marie, who F4WOnline.com reported in August as being “passionately hated” by some of her co-workers, was pranked in an inside manner.

In a segment filmed backstage at a spring Raw show for the August 4 episode of E! Total Divas, she was led to believe by company personnel that she had committed a wrongful act and that an infuriated Stephanie McMahon wanted to confront her over the matter (on the episode, the meeting was depicted as stemming from Eva Marie lying about her background in order to audition to be Fandango’s dancer, which was a fabricated storyline). During the blurred reality segment, McMahon threatened to fire her if she embarrassed the company again with her conduct. Eva Marie legitimately cried during the meeting, as she was not aware that the situation was orchestrated and that McMahon was fooling around with her through her character persona.
