According to one source, multiple WWE Superstars had their luggage lost during their flight to Toronto, Ontario, Canada for Monday’s live edition of WWE RAW.

This was evident on the actual show this week, as WWE RAW commentator and Hall Of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler was wearing a green WWE t-shirt, instead of his usual “King” gear, as the airlines lost his luggage.

There is no word on who else was a victim of their luggage being lost on the flight, other than it was multiple Superstars within the company.

The following are results for this week’s WWE Superstars, which was taped prior to RAW on Monday night in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

WWE Superstars (Airing: Thursday, September 12, 2013)

-The Usos defeated 3MB via Pinfall. This was kept relatively short. Also, this amounted to what was pretty much a basic squash match in favor of The Usos.

-Big E. Langston defeated Zack Ryder. The fans in Toronto, Ontario, Canada were going nuts for Ryder. It didn’t matter, however, as Langston won with relative ease in another near-squash match.

It should be noted that there was no pre-Superstars dark match, as is typically the case each Monday. After the two Superstars matches, taped to air this Thursday, the WWE RAW announce team of Michael Cole, JBL and Jerry “The King” Lawler came out.

That ended all of the pre-RAW happenings.

WWE House Show Results (9/8): Brooklyn, New York

The following are results from the WWE live event in Brooklyn, New York. The event was held on Sunday, September 8, 2013.

-Dean Ambrose defeated Rob Van Dam to retain the WWE United States Championship. Great way to open the show. Great match. Crowd was explosively hot for Van Dam. In the end, Ambrose picked up the win to retain his title.

-Sami Zayn and Bo Dallas defeated Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro. NXT stars Zayn and Dallas worked this match, and the crowd didn’t really seem to know who either guy was, with the slight exception of a select group of die-hard fans who were aware of Zayn, but not Dallas so much. At one point a loud “Ole!” chant broke out, which was started by the die-hard group of Zayn fans and picked up by the rest of the crowd.

-Brie Bella and Natalya were voted by fans to have a Dance Contest. As usual, the heel attacked the face when she started her dancing, which led to an actual match.

-Natalya defeated Brie Bella. Match was kept relatively short, although the match mixed with the dance-off had both Divas in the ring longer than most fans would have liked. In the end, Natalya picked up the submission victory over Brie with the Sharpshooter.

-CM Punk defeated Curtis Axel in a Non-Title match. Same stuff here that these two, along with Paul Heyman, have been doing at every show. Title match changes to non-title, etc. Punk got the win. Crowd was very into Punk, as you would expect.

-Tyson Kidd defeated Drew McIntyre. This match was actually kept pretty short. Kidd got a decent reaction coming out. He didn’t do too much during the match, compared to Kidd of old, but did enough to pick up the win here.

-Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins defeated The Usos. Decent little match. They actually got a decent amount of time, too. Crowd dug both teams, with a slight edge in favortism to The Shield. In the end, Reigns and Rollins picked up the win to retain their WWE Tag-Team Championships.

-Daniel Bryan defeated Randy Orton via Disqualification. The DQ came when The Shield interfered, causing Orton to be DQ’d. Big Show, who was forced to sit at ringside during the match, and warned not to interfere by Brad Maddox, came in to help Bryan after the DQ.

This Day In History: Ric Flair’s WWF Debut Match, Kurt Angle Found Not Guilty, ECW

It is an interesting “day in history” for pro wrestling today, September 9th. WWE Hall Of Famer “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair had his official WWE (WWF at the time) debut match on this day in 1991. Flair defeated Jim Powers at a television taping in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Also on this day, in 2000, former WWE Superstar Rhino defeated Kid Kash for the ECW Television Title. That is interesting to note because Rhino would end up being the final ECW TV Champion in history, as he would hold onto the belt until the company folded in April of 2001.

On this day in 2008, current TNA Impact Wrestling star Kurt Angle was found not guilty of driving under the influence and careless driving in a Allegheny County, Pennsylvania courtroom. Angle was arrested for one of his earlier DUI’s after a witness filed a complaint. Angle’s lawyer would later challenge the use of the witness, since police could not corroborate her claims.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently updated the Q&A section of his JRsBarBQ.com website. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

Reason why WWE PPV’s air on Sunday:

“I’d assume that there is research to indicate that Sunday is the best night for WWE PPV’s plus it is and has become a tradition that I don’t see changing. Plus, it works well with the cable and satellite operators which is critical.”

Total Divas:

“I’m a big fan of Total Divas. It’s nicely done. The away from the arena content is entertaining.”

Chair Shots to the Head:

“Chair shots to the head are a thing of the past one would hope. Really stupid to execute such in today’s concussed aware society. Chairs to the back are much less destructive and damaging over the long haul.”
