I too am shocked that Hawkins was released. He was so integral to the WWE.

He's probably spent less time in the ring than Michael Cole in the last 4 years.

Brodus Clay though

broke the funkadicktards by saying "I am a main event playa"

WWe kicked him out all together

In another update from earlier, we noted that Curt Hawkins called Mark Henry an idiot after Henry posted a tweet touting his 18 year career with WWE, right after WWE announced the releases of Hawkins and other talents. Henry responded on Twitter Thursday night:

“@TheCurtHawkins First I don’t often explain my self to no one!But I had no idea anyone got let go,it’s sad.I was asked to post about bday.”

“@TheCurtHawkins That’s what came out it was about my 18 year journey. I know where you live dude it’s a small world. An apology is due.”

“If not well You know me I’ll handle our biz.”

We noted before that WWE has offered Sting a standard Legends deal but there is more to their negotiations than just the Legends deal.

Sting signing with WWE has been the most back and forth story in years but multiple sources still maintain that they are close enough to finalizing and a deal will be done inevitably.

We noted before that Vince McMahon had Rey Mysterio’s WWE contract automatically renewed because of the time Mysterio missed. All standard WWE contracts are written with the clause that says they can extend the contract based on the talents not performing for an extended period of time because of an injury.

This was not something specific that was written into Rey’s contracts but there’s not another known instance of this being used for another talent. WWE could possibly do this with CM Punk when his deal expires in July if they want.

The main advantage of keeping Punk signed would be he couldn’t work for another promotion. The main disadvantage of renewing him would be that they have to pay his downside and right now they likely wouldn’t have to pay that because he’s refusing to work.

When AJ marries CM Punk, imo she might have to change her name from AJ Lee to AJ Punk.

Regarding the recently released WWE talents showing up in TNA, the only one that’s able to do what he wants right now is Teddy Long as his contract expired.

The other talents were informed they were being released so they will be paid their downside for another 90 days and then will be free to do what they want. September 12th would be the earliest that we could see some of them in TNA.

WWE producer Kevin Dunn is a huge proponent of Alicia Fox right now so her new gimmick will likely continue to be featured on WWE TV.

[Onyx]

WWE has announced that The Usos will defend the WWE Tag Team Titles against Erik Rowan & Luke Harper at the June 29th Money In the Bank pay-per-view.

As of this writing, the only other match announced for the show is the WWE World Heavyweight Title Ladder Match.
