CM Punk /Tony Atlas Altercation

There was an altercation between ECW Champion CM Punk and WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas last week. Atlas was sent to developmental to so some mentoring and help the talents if he could with advice and other needs. While there, Atlas rubbed many the wrong way as he constantly put himself over and only said that the talents were doing stuff wrong. Atlas made a comment to CM Punk who was working the tapings, that he wore his wrist tape oddly and looked like he had broken arms. Punk basically shrugged off the comments.

After the tapings, they had the normal post meeting. This is the time where Al Snow and other WWE veterans critique what the developmental talents do right and wrong during the show. Atlas started with his critique, and every time he said something negative he would stare down Punk...More?

REV_22_12

Last night at No Mercy, many of us were expecting to see the culmination of the "SAVE_US.222" and "SAVIOR_SELF" video clips. Instead, we got was another new video with more new clues.

The main phrase seen in the third video was "REV_22_12".

The previous videos have been biblical in nature, so there's a strong possibility that "REV_22_12" could correspond with the bible passage 22:12 from the book of Revelations. That passage states:

"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."

The phrase "Second_Coming" could be seen in the video as well. At this point, the meaning of these video clips remains unknown. Hopefully within a few week's we will find out if the videos are promoting the returns of Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Edge or something completely unexpected.
