SmackDown Results: Disruption in the Force
Over the years, the road between brothers Kane and The Undertaker has had many ups and downs. But, are they poised for a volatile final confrontation?
The Undertaker said Kane is “guilty of a treacherous betrayal ” and is not worthy of being his brother or carrying the World Heavyweight Championship.
“I taught you everything you know about evil. But I didn’t teach you everything I know. So when the mood strikes you, I’ll be waiting. And when the fight starts, it’s always going to end the same way,” The Deadman said.
Despite the ominous warning, The Big Red Monster was not intimidated by his older brother’s words.
“Not this time,” said Kane. “I know and you know that this time it ends the same way that it did at SummerSlam, with you sprawled helpless at my feet. I vow on the grave of our mother, that you will never rest in peace.” Full results.

Rumor Mill - WWE RAW General Manager
Rumors are circulating concerning the return of Triple H and the idea has been pitched to Vince McMahon to have him revealed to be Monday Night RAW's "anonymous" General Manager. McMahon has been quoted as saying that he wants "The Game" back on television in order to further strengthen the roster heading into the fall season. As of late, McMahon has blamed WWE's previous lackluster quarter on the retirements of Dave Batista and Shawn Michaels, as well as Triple H's injuries that have kept him off of television.

Kenny King & Rhett Titus on Rumors of ROH Being in Rough Shape
Their thoughts/comments to the critics that may feel that Ring of Honor could potentially be in rough shape with the departure of ROH World Champion Tyler Black, along with the other changes that have taken place within the company over the past several weeks & how they (as a team) are going to step up in the coming weeks/months ahead:
(Kenny) "Listen the sky has fallen at least four times in Ring of Honor. AJ (Styles), ("The Fallen Angel") Christopher Daniels, & Samoa Joe left, and 'Oh my god, the sky is falling.' It didn't fall. Gabe (Sapolsky) is gone, 'Oh my god the sky is falling.' We didn't go anywhere. (Adam) Pearce is gone, 'Oh my god, the sky is falling.' Tyler Black is leaving. The thing about Ring of Honor in a word is resiliency. The thing that is always going to keep ROH alive is everybody in that locker room is hungry. Everyone in that locker room is talented, and everyone in that locker room has the ability, if called upon, to put the company on their back and run with it." (Rhett) "With all these guys leaving, it's no better time for me & Kenny to step up. We've been doing that all 2010, and we are gonna keep on doing it for 2010, and by the time 2011 hits, we're gonna be there, and we're gonna be at the top. You talk about breaking this glass ceiling. Myself & Kenny don't break glass ceilings, because we live in houses with no ceilings, because there is no level that we can't excel to, because we keep on climbing & climbing to the top."...More?
