CM Punk pulled from Live Events. Officials not happy with Punk's backstage segment on Raw. Punk having issues with creative right now.

CM Punk has been pulled from all live events until WrestleMania 29 for a number of reasons including him being physically banged up. People, including Punk, are still downplaying the arm injury that he suffered in the RAW match against Kane last week. WWE officials want him fresh and ready for the big match at WrestleMania 29. Speaking of Punk, there were a lot of people not happy with his backstage segment at last night's RAW where he juggled around Paul Bearer's urn to taunt The Undertaker. The feeling was that it wasn't as good as the Punk-Bearer-Taker stuff from the week before and that this one was bad for WWE and just bad in general. On a related note, it's said there is some kind of issue between Punk and WWE creative right now but we don't know what those problems might be.

CM Punk taking time off after WM29

As noted, CM Punk has been pulled from the rest of the live events leading up to WrestleMania 29 so he can heal up and be fresh for the big match against The Undertaker. Punk is still scheduled for all RAW TV shows and is still advertised for WWE's European tour the week after WrestleMania. However, word now is that Punk may not be working most live events here in the United States once WrestleMania is over, leaving John Cena to once again be the top draw for RAW live events. Punk not working live events after WrestleMania is expected to be for the short term. With Punk taking time off, there's a feeling that he has helped carry the company for a while now and WWE needs to protect their investment.

Nixed WM 29 Match with Former WWE Divas

At one point, there was a 10-Divas tag match with 5 current Divas going against 5 former Divas. The idea would have been for Kelly Kelly, The Bella Twins, Maryse and Maria Kanellis to take on current Divas like Kaitlyn, Layla and three others. The story is that a few of the former Divas went back to WWE and wanted certain things like access to their names once they left the company and WWE wasn't having it. WWE nixed the idea and so far the only Divas to return are The Bella Twins but word is their deals were in place for a few months now. This idea would have seen Trish Stratus manage one of the teams.

Plans for The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar

As noted before, the current plan is for Triple H to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 29. The big issue is that WWE officials want Lesnar to headline WrestleMania 30 against The Rock so he shouldn't be doing any jobs now. Regarding Rock vs. Brock, the plan is to do a subtle tease with the two on the RAW the night after WrestleMania this year. The idea is to only do a tease and not push it too hard so fans won't expect it's happening at SummerSlam.

Update on Randy Orton's heel turn. Another big heel turn could be Kofi Kingston.

There has been some talk of having Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns go over Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show at WrestleMania 29, leading to the long-awaited Orton heel turn.

Another big heel turn in the works may be Kofi Kingston.

Rey Mysterio may be leaving WWE. WWE will be doing WM Rewind Edition of Raw. Changes of plans on Harlem Heat being inducted into HOF this year.

In an update on Rey Mysterio possibly leaving WWE soon, word now is that he may be looking to be released and WWE is considering granting it if they can keep merchandise rights. Other sources indicate that WWE really wants him to stay and will be doing everything in their power to keep him.

- WWE will be doing a WrestleMania Rewind edition of RAW soon where they do rematches of big WrestleMania rematches from previous years.

- As noted earlier, Booker T stated on the WWE App last night that his brother from Harlem Heat, Stevie Ray, will be reuniting with him at the WWE Hall of Fame this year. The plan had been to induct Harlem Heat as a team but apparently Stevie didn't get the call to be inducted in the end.

News on Zeb Coulter

One WWE source notes that regardless of what WWE decides to do with Jack Swagger's push in the next few months, they expect the Zeb Colter character to be kept around. There's also belief that WWE will keep Dutch Mantell, the man behind Colter, employed in some capacity.

The Rock wants to play villian in Bond movie

We noted before that WWE Champion The Rock jokingly threw his name out there for a role in the next The Expendables movie. Rock told BANG Showbiz that he's interested in playing a villain in a James Bond movie: "Skyfalls one of the greatest action movies of all time. Its amazing. Love Daniel Craig. I would love to be in Bond. Maybe a Bond baddie. You know, my grandfather was in You Only Live Twice. He was a Bond baddie."

Chris Masters Saves His Mom From Burning House

Former WWE superstar Chris "The Masterpiece" Masters saved his mother from burning to death by uprooting a tree with his bare hands and using it as a battering ram to enter her house. Masters -- real name Chris Mordetzky -- tells us, he rushed to his mother's L.A. home yesterday after his uncle called and said a neighbor had gone crazy and barricaded himself inside her house. When Chris showed up, the neighbor was shouting through the front door that he would burn the place down if anyone tried to gain entry. Chris says he tried talking sense into the guy, but he wasn't having it -- so Chris called the cops ... but when they showed up, the neighbor set the house on fire. Chris jumped into hero mode -- tearing a tree out of the ground and tossing it through a window. Chris reached through the window and removed his mom from the inferno... at which point police rushed in and arrested the neighbor on arson charges. The man is currently still in custody. It's unclear why he snapped. One thing's for sure ... Chris does a mother proud.

Are they seriously going with Jericho vs. Fandannngo at WM?

Sadly, yes. I think the whole Fandango gimmick is awful. He's been trolling since arriving on tv. The first few times is fine to gain heat, but now it's getting silly. Debut already. Another dancer gimmick. I can't believe Jericho puts him over at WM. Last year, I understood why he put CM Punk over. But why put a newcomer over, who, as of yet hasn't had a single match on TV. Jericho is never in the World Title Picture, nor is a serious threat to it, as a face. He's always in the mid-card (as a face). Jericho puts Fandango over at WM and then leaves again. Ironic thing about this feud is Jericho has been on Dancing With The Stars and Fandango gimmick is based on Dancing With The Stars. They should have a dance-off before or at WM.

Jericho should really face Ziggler at WM and put him over as the rubber match. They have unbelievable chemistry and stole the show at Summerslam last summer. I get that they don't want to have "Rematchmania" with 2 of the top matches already as a rematch, but this is what the "WWE Universe" wants to see. This would definitely put Ziggler as a main eventer, beating one of the biggest stars on the biggest stage.

Then at the end of the match, have Ziggler shake Jericho's hand in a sign of respect similar to what Jericho and Michaels did at WM 19, but without the low blow.

Going back to Aces and 8s.

It seems they're recycling some of the famous angles from WCW/nWo. As mentioned, it seems they're slowly building towards AJ Styles vs. Bully Ray World Title Match. Bully will feud and go through all the top faces (Hardy, Angle, Joe, Storm) and win by any means neccessaily.

Another angle they could re-use is HHH/Stephanie angle from WWE and build to a match that Bully will give Brooke a divorce, but turns out she was in on the whole time. As long as they don't completely rip off these famous angles and throw in some twists. Angles/Stories gets rehashed all the time.

Seems like they have no idea or direction as what to do with Ziggler. He's teased cashing in MITB a few times. The biggest stage should be the place where he finally cashes in and becomes World Champion. I'm expecting he won't, but would be very surprised if he did cash in at WM with how poorly he's been booked. If and when he does cash in, I don't expect a lengthy title run for Ziggler. I see him and Big E Langston winning the Tag Titles at WM and Team Hell No finally splitting up, so they can go back to singles.

Ya it seems to be building to AJ somehow being against those guys down the road possibly at BFG.

I can't wait for Tommorows impact.

Anyone know if they post the episodes on Spike.com right after the broadcast or a day later?

Usually takes them a day or two to post the full episode, I wish TNAOnDemand would list what we can access through the archives but sadly they haven't and it's a bit annoying.

In terms of Aces and Eights, I do see it being a lot like the nWo rehash, hopefully Bischoff has smartened since then and knows when to end the whole thing.

Stephanie >>>>>> Brooke. No one would care if Brooke turned.
