Singerman, who previously held senior level positions at Fox News Channel, TV Guide Network and Reelz Channel, will report directly to WWE Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Vince McMahon.

– We’ve been reporting for several weeks now that WWE Superstar Ryback has fallen out of favor with management. On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer confirmed that Ryback is in fact in the doghouse.
Based on what we’ve heard, company officials are not happy with Ryback’s lack of progress in the ring. His brief run with Paul Heyman was considered a flop and he’s got a long road back to the main events.
– Here is the latest installment of WWE Backstage Fallout from last night’s RAW Country:

Comment Below and tell us how you think Rey looked last night.
Hey everybody, I’m Noah Mark and I’m back with another installment of “The YES! & The NO! of WWE RAW.”
We’re finding our stride here with this new feature – please Comment below and tell us how you like the column and if you agree with this week’s picks.
The Main Event, Rey Returns and The Shield vs The Wyatts
The Usos, Rhodes Brothers, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and Rey Mysterio celebrate at the end of Raw
When I attended the WWE Hell-In-A-Cell Pay Per View and WWE Raw the next night in Orlando FL, I had a big chip on my shoulder. I was none too pleased that Daniel Bryan was being taken out of the WWE Title picture.
I was happy however, that it appeared that the Wyatts were going to get a high profile feud with both Daniel Bryan and CM Punk. At the time of that Raw 3 weeks ago. I had made a prediction that Daniel Bryan CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Golddust and two more would take on The Wyatts & The Shield at Survivor Series, in a traditional elimination match. It turned out that, the match would end up happening on The Raw before the Survivor Series. So I was close, but now I have flight and a ticket to Boston this sunday and a 7 on 7 divas match to look forward to instead. Are you able to read into my sarcasm?
The main event was electric. Everything that should have been saved for the Survivor Series. So while the lack of this match will hurt the Survivor Series, this damn sure was #BestForBusiness on Raw. The Shield / Wyatt family tease is exciting and something new, and I hope WWE cashes in on this at the right time and right place, because that is a match I want to see in the future. (Please dont’ mess this one up WWE!)
The return of Rey was unexpected and answered the question who the mystery partner will be in the Traditional Survivor Series Match between the Rhodes Brothers & Usos, now with Rey Rey vs The Shield and The Real Americans.
Big E. Langston Wins the Intercontinental Championship
Big E. Langston will try to prove that holding the Intercontinental Championship one be a ball and chain.
How ironic the first time I can remember the WWE ever doing the in-ring introductions post-entrance for an Intercontinental Championship match, and low and behold the championship changed hands. (Smirk)
For several years any championship beside the WWE Championship has been treated with disrespect, with the champion losing damn near every non-title match. (See: Dolph Ziggler, Curtis Axel, Alberto Del Rio, heck even Damien Sandow with his briefcase.)
Big E. is hot now, his theme music has been remixed, and he’s on a rocket push. Let’s hope it stays that way, and perhaps this title will mean something. Although don’t expect the in-ring introductions
for the IC belt again anytime soon.
The Real Americans Vs The Miz & Kofi Kingston
We The People!
The Miz turned heel on his partner Kofi during this match, but what I really enjoy is seeing The Real Americans week in and week out, have some good matches. It’s no doubt that Claudio is the MVP of the group. Watching Claudio…er..Antonio each week is awesome, did you see there was a Cessaro section? The crowd is getting louder and louder each week saying along with Zeb Colter “We The People” which only means one thing. WWE will take that away, or perhaps turn the group babyface. Knowing the WWE, they will take the first option.

– Local advertisements for next week’s post-Survivor Series edition of WWE RAW are promoting “The McMahon’s, Triple H and more.” Whether or not this is another case of early advertising, or “The McMahon’s” meaning Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, even though it’s plural, remains to be seen. If you go by WWE advertising, it appears as though Vince McMahon will be back on RAW next week. He has been rumored to return for a while now, although his return continues to get pushed back each time it’s scheduled to happen.
– Also announced for next week’s RAW are dark matches featuring John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship and Randy Orton vs. Big Show for the WWE Championship, both of which will be Survivor Series rematches by that point.

Mysterio hit his 6-1-9 on two members of the heel team and celebrates with the babyfaces to close the show.

Miz had been teasing a heel turn throughout the entire WWE European tour the past few weeks.

Langston vs. Curtis Axel for the WWE Intercontinental Championship is announced for tonight, as well as a 12-man tag-team main event featuring CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, The Usos, and Goldust & Cody Rhodes vs. The Wyatt Family and The Shield.
In-Ring Segment: The Authority, Randy Orton, Brad Maddox & Vickie Guerrero
Triple H’s music hits and down comes The Authority, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. HHH talks about how vital The Authority’s presence is at RAW each week. He says that was proven in their absence last week. He talks about being disappointed in how RAW turned out last week. HHH says Brad Maddox and Vickie Guerrero will be dealt with tonight. Stephanie McMahon says the great news is that they are incredibly well rested and they’re back. She says this Sunday is Survivor Series. With that said, Randy Orton’s music hits and out comes the WWE Champion. Orton doesn’t look pleased as he heads to the ring. Orton blames Triple H and Stephanie McMahon for not spelling out who was supposed to remain in charge. He says they didn’t make sure to tell The Shield not to watch his back last week. He says they’re the ones who gave Big Show an undeserved title shot. He holds them directly responsible for being chokeslammed through the table last week. He says they should be protecting their most valuable asset, the face of the WWE, a little bit. Stephanie says he’s probably right. Orton says he probably won’t be able to beat Big Show by himself at Survivor Series, so he asks them what they plan to do about it. HHH yells and asks who he thinks he’s talking to. He says the face of the company. HHH says he means the face of their company. Stephanie continues to talk and we hear Vickie Guerrero say “excuse me” in a very soft voice. Brad Maddox and Vickie come out to the top of the stage. Brad says last week was all Vickie’s fault. HHH says it doesn’t matter who’s at fault, they all have to pay tonight. Stephanie says with all the handicap matches they made last week, they’ve become desensitized to how difficult it is to compete week-in and week-out. Because of that, they will both compete in matches tonight. Vickie will go one-on-one with the Divas Champion, AJ Lee. Brad will go one-on-one with the WWE Champion, Randy Orton. Their match is no disqualification. And that match is right now. HHH says “that’ll do.” Brad turns to run away but is stopped by Kane. Kane forces Brad to turn around. HHH’s music hits and The Authority head up the ramp. We head to our first commercial of the evening.
No Disqualification Match: Randy Orton vs. Brad Maddox
We return from commercial and the bell rings. Maddox, still in a suit, is out on the floor while Orton is in the ring staring him down. Maddox has his suit coat off, but is still wearing a button up shirt and dress pants. Maddox runs behind the announcers and grabs a mic. Maddox tells Orton he doesn’t have to do this. Orton chases him down and grabs Maddox. Maddox blasts Orton with the mic. Orton drops. Maddox shoves Orton into the ring post. Back in the ring, Maddox nails Orton with a DDT while Orton was on his knees. Maddox quickly covers Orton and gets a two count. Orton is finally recovering and he does the slow head-turn and looks at Maddox. Orton grabs Maddox and throws him out to the floor. Orton throws Maddox across the announce table. Orton slams Maddox into the ringside steps. He tears Maddox’s shirt off and chops him. Orton drapes Maddox across the ringside barricade and hits his trademark DDT spot onto the floor. Orton drags Maddox by his shirt across the ground. Orton grabs the mic that Maddox hit him with earlier and throws it in the ring. He then throws Maddox into the ring. Orton lays across Maddox in the ring and blasts Maddox repeatedly with the microphone. Orton has the psycho peepers going now, as he looks crazy and pissed. The referee calls for the bell. The referee just yelled out to the floor that Randy’s the winner. Remember, this was a no-DQ match, so I guess the referee forfitted for Maddox. Who knows.
Winner: Randy Orton
– Big Show vs. Ryback is announced for later in the show.
– Curtis Axel is shown walking by himself to the ring. His opponent, Big E. Langston, is shown walking to the ring next. The WWE Intercontinental Championship match is after this commercial break.

Backstage: Brad Maddox Stretchered Out, Vickie’s Next
We see highlights courtesy of the WWE App of Brad Maddox getting stretchered out of the building. We return live and we see Maddox being carried backstage. Vickie Guerrero sees him going by, and her jaw drops, knowing she’s got the same potential fate later tonight.
WWE Intercontinental Championship: Curtis Axel (c) vs. Big E. Langston
Langston comes out first, followed by the current Intercontinental Champion, Curtis Axel. Paul Heyman is not coming out right Axel, for whatever that’s worth. Justin Roberts does the official ring introductions, pay-per-view style, after each guy’s entrance. The bell rings and Langston immediately takes Axel down. Axel starts fighting back with punches. Langston catches Axel coming off the ropes with a big shoulder tackle. Langston follows that up with a backbreaker and a near fall. Langston hits a big back-suplex on Axel for another near fall. Axel rolls out to the floor to recollect himself. Langston goes out after him. Axel rolls back in the ring. Langston does as well. Axel curls up in the corner like a baby. He gets up and Langston clotheslines him down. Langston is in complete control of this match early on. Axel manages to clothesline Langston with the top rope. He follows that up by going to work on Langston with punches. We head to a mid-match commercial. We return from commercial and Axel has Langston in a headlock. Langston powers out. Langston spears Axel in the corner. Axel responds with a perfect dropkick on Langston for a near fall. Axel goes to work on Langston with a bunch of clubbing blows. Michael Cole mentions on commentary that both Ryback and Axel dumped Heyman last week and declared themselves “no longer Paul Heyman guys.” Axel has Langston in a front facelock, but Langston powers out and throws Axel half-way across the ring. Langston hits a belly-to-belly suplex on Axel. Langston comes off the ropes and hits a big splash on Axel for a close near fall. Langston goes for his finisher but Axel escapes. Langston goes for it again and this time he hits it. 1-2-3. We have a new Intercontinental Champion.

IMPACT WRESTLING PRESENTS “TURNING POINT” ON SPIKE TV THURSDAY, NOV. 21 AT 9/8 CT
LIVE AND FREE ON SPIKE TV, “TURNING POINT” FEATURES EXTRAORDINARY “WHEEL OF DIXIE” MATCHES
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov 18, 2013) – An action-packed two hours of Pay-Per-View wrestling is coming your way this Thursday, Nov. 21 as IMPACT WRESTLING presents “Turning Point” live and free on Spike TV at 9 p.m. ET. Broadcasting live from Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., a hub of IMPACT WRESTLING LIVE! and #IMPACT365, Dixie Carter continues her furor with “The Phenomenal One” AJ Styles as she seeks to crown a new World Heavyweight Champion.
“Turning Point” will feature two incredible TNA World Title Tournament matches, with stipulations determined through a spin of the “Wheel of Dixie.” The scheduled matches include a “Falls Count Anywhere” match between Magnus and Samoa Joe, and a “Bull Rope” match between former tag partners “The Cowboy” James Storm and “The IT Factor” Bobby Roode. In addition, a grudge match between former Aces and Eights member, Mr. Anderson, and Aces and Eights President, Bully Ray, is on the card.
“At ‘Turning Point’ on Thursday night, I will treat Samoa Joe like any other opponent, because he stands between me and the world title,” said TNA Superstar Magnus. “Now that the Main Event Mafia has disbanded there are no alliances. It’s every man for himself, and I’m confident I will be the last man standing in the ring.”
Fighting to get past the first round of the tournament, Magnus and Samoa Joe put their Main Event Mafia allegiances aside as they battle one another in a “Falls Count Anywhere” match where pinfall is permitted outside the ring and any object in reach can be used to the wrestler’s advantage.
In the second TNA Word Title Tournament match of the night James Storm and Bobby Roode will battle it out in a “Bull Rope” match. Confined to opposite sides of a rope, the restraint and anything tied to it can be used as a legal weapon.
As the World Heavyweight Title hangs in the balance, so does the future of Aces and Eights. At “Turning Point” former Aces and Eights member Mr. Anderson will square off against President of the Club, Bully Ray in a grudge match to determine the future of the brotherhood. The Main Event of the night will prove the bitterness and dislike Mr. Anderson and Bully Ray have for one other, as the two clash in a high-stakes battle with the future on the line for both. Should Mr. Anderson win, Bully Ray will be dethroned and the Aces and Eights will fall. If Bully is victorious, Mr. Anderson is to never show up in the wrestling ring again.
