-According to PWInsider.com, over the past 6-8 weeks, backstage talk in WWE is that John Cena is still dealing with some type of shoulder injury, and he is also starting to develop issues with his neck. These are nagging injuries stemming from years of wear-and-tear in the ring.

Additionally, several people in WWE have noted Cena seems to have slowed down a bit, and is not moving as well as he used to, which is becoming a backstage cause for concern.

On a related note, where it pertains to Cena’s acting career, officials are keeping a close eye on Cena’s potential Hollywood career, as it is beginning to bloom, and if his injuries continues to mount, Hollywood could become a viable alternative to WWE for Cena.
 
-As we noted on Monday, Bad News Barrett is being advertised for WWE’s upcoming European tour taking place in November.

According to PWInsider.com, Barrett has been told by doctors he will be cleared to return to the ring by December, but WWE is hoping it will be sooner than that so he can wrestle overseas, where he usually draws a big reaction from the crowd.
 
-WWE officials have reportedly told Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods that they plan to continue using them as a group.

WWE has been testing the group at recent live events and in dark matches as both heels and babyfaces, as officials are trying to figure out how to present the group and how they want the stable to move forward.
 
-Original plans for Raw this week called for Mark Henry and Big Show to face Erick Rowan and Luke Harper, a match eventually taped for Smackdown this week. If the match had taken place on Raw, Bray Wyatt was scheduled to interfere and lay out Big Show with Sister Abigail, as a way to remind everyone how dangerous Wyatt is and help give him some heel momentum coming out of Raw.

Last minute changes took place on Monday, however, and the decision was ultimately made to book the 6 man tag team match for Raw which basically saw John Cena run through the Wyatt Family.
 
-As we noted yesterday, WWE star Ryback posted, then eventually deleted, a Tweet claiming he was dealing stuff that needed to be fixed, and he would be going away for awhile.

Michael Cole subsequently said on Main Event last night that Ryback is indeed injured, and would be missing a few weeks of action. Adam Rose then made light of the injury during the show and Curtis Axel noted he would be working singles matches until The Big Guy returns.

According to an update by PWInsider.com, there appears to be confusion surrounding Ryback’s actual status, as many WWE sources are claiming he is not actually hurt, and he’s not currently scheduled to take any time off.

As for why Ryback included an action figure of himself standing over an action figure of CM Punk in the injury Tweet he posted, sources believe this was Ryback’s way of taking a shot at Punk.

Back in 2012, during a Punk Ryback spot, Ryback was supposed to drop Punk through a table, but he botched the spot and Punk hit the floor, resulting in Punk getting hurt. When Ryback posted the Tweet, with the caption “Sorry Punk,” many wrestlers took it as a shot towards Punk.
 
Cena needs to take some time off. Do a movie b.

Was gonna suggest a viewing party tonight but TNA is on. Think I'm gonna watch.
 
I can name those themes just the same! How come I'm not on the damn radio!?

Mark henry and big show should be pushed as tag contenders, lose a match to the champs at a ppv, new nation forms on raw by beating the brakes off Show, within a month win tag & IC belts. show forms a faction made up of the belt losers to feud w/ them.

but they'll most likely languish in dark matches and job matches till they get future endeavored
 
Hmmm dont know what to make of Rybacks situation. Hope he dont leave too tho. The Big Guy needs to flourish. Have him feud with Reigns :lol
 
Those "New Nation" dudes are trash. I don't want them near any of the belts.
 
It's crazy how Jeff is my favorite wrestler and I was out the game during his main event run
