NXT Stars Work WWE Live Event, Veteran Accused of Fraud
- Former WWE star Shelton Benjamin tells AlwaysAList.com that wrestling legend The Barbarian is falsely promoting a wrestling tour of Nigeria this December. Barbarian’s flyer is advertising Benjamin, MVP, Carlito, John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Val Venis, Bobby Lashley, Finlay, Chavo Guerrero and others for the tour. Benjamin says none of the former WWE stars are involved with the tour.
Benjamin previously blasted The Barbarian for shady business practices after a 2011 tour in Africa where he stiffed them on pay. Benjamin is calling Barbarian a liar, a thief and is warning people about doing business with him.
MVP, Hardy and Val Venis have all backed up Shelton’s claims about the upcoming tour. MVP called The Barbarian a scumbag on his Twitter.
- WWE NXT star Xavier Woods worked last night’s WWE live event in Everett, Washington. He lost to Tensai in a three minute match. Woods reportedly received a positive reaction from the crowd.
- Dean Ambrose also worked last night’s live event in Everett. He lost to Santino Marella and the Cobra. Ambrose cut a heel promo before the match and talked about how WWE is afraid to put him on their TV shows.

More on Vince’s Return to RAW, News on WWE’s Foley DVD
- We noted earlier this year that WWE will release a new DVD for Mick Foley on April 16th, 2013. Foley revealed that he was able to ask for many Superstars, past and present, to appear on the DVD. Foley commented:
“Just wrapped up two days of interviews for my DVD. Lots of cool extras, rare matches. Maybe some added commentary with me and @JoeyStyles?”
- As noted before, Vince McMahon will be appearing on Monday’s RAW to deliver a State of WWE Address. Vince’s appearance is a direct response to last week’s very low RAW rating. The plan is for Vince to kick off RAW at 8pm EST but that may change.

CM Punk Provides Update on New WWE Title Design
CM Punk was asked at the Comic-Con panel over the weekend when the new design for the WWE Championship would be unveiled. Punk said that he had no idea, but that “they’re working on it.”
Punk was then asked if he had any input in the new belt, to which he replied, “I’d like to say that I have a little bit of say in that, but I just keep getting the runaround. I don’t know if they’re saving the new design for somebody else or what the deal is. But they’re sick of me asking about it, I know that.”
