Rumor Mill - Blown Spot On Raw Causes An Uproar Backstage & Two Top Stars Nearly Come To Blows
Ryback took major heat over the gorilla table bump spot with CM Punk on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw. Ryback’s only job was to put Punk through the table. Well, as seen on Raw, not only did he not direct Punk but he turned his wrist at the last second and caused Punk to almost miss the table and barely catch any of it on the way down. The nasty bump caused Punk to be legitimately busted open and receive medical attention backstage. Rather than apologize, Ryback told a producer that Punk “should have bumped better.” Punk apparently found out because he and Ryback ended up having words over it. The entire thing nearly came to blows when Curtis Axel stepped in and tried to play the role of peace maker. Triple H ended up getting involved, pulling Ryback aside and speaking with him behind closed doors.

Rumor Mill - Triple H Calling for More Major Changes
Triple H continues to call for more changes in WWE during the transition of his eventual succession to Vince McMahon. One change that he wants to make is returning to a more traditional aspect of workers calling matches in the ring on the fly. Like many of his changes, this isn’t expected to be immediate but something slowly transitioned over the next five years. Hunter wants to usher in the new crop of talent to be trained in this style. One of the reasons for the slow transition is that Hunter understands that ordering an immediate change in philosophy would be disastrous to the current roster with a lot of guys being “totally lost.”

Can You Get Your Money Back For Not Liking WWE Pay-Per-Views? Not Quite
Pay-per-view sporting events are always a gamble because fans can never be quite sure that they will get enough bang for their buck – just ask anyone who paid to watch Saturday’s one-sided bout between Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez. The same goes for the fans of professional wrestling who pay some $45 each month for WWE’s pay-per-view events.
Yet according to one recent report, those disappointed wrestling fans can get their money back, and apparently all they have to do is ask their cable provider. Is it really that simple? Not quite.
The background: WWE’s current main storyline features Daniel Bryan, a hard-working underdog who has become a favorite among fans. That popularity helped him earn a title shot at August’s SummerSlam, one of WWE’s monthly pay-per-view events, where he took the championship belt off of John Cena to the deafening roar of a sold-out Staples Center.
But the cheers didn’t last long. Bryan was quickly knocked out by Triple H, the match’s guest referee and Bryan’s in-story boss, allowing Randy Orton to steal the title. Bryan had his shot at redemption this past Sunday at WWE’s Night of Champions, another PPV event. The night’s main event was a title match between Bryan and Orton, one that Bryan won, again to raucous cheers. This celebration also didn’t last very long, however, as Triple H stripped Bryan of the title the following night on WWE’s weekly Monday Night Raw cable telecast.
Well it turns out some fans were disappointed that Bryan’s championship win was overturned. So disappointed, in fact, that they called their cable provider to ask for a refund for Sunday night’s PPV.
Sounds absurd, right? According to one report, they got what they wanted...More?

Rumor Mill - More Backstage News On JR's WWE Retirement, WWE Superstar To Take Over His Duties?
There were some rumors within WWE about Jim Ross being let go days before it actually happened. On September 10th, the day before Ross was let go, someone in WWE's book department called an author to tell him that WWE had chosen him to write JR's autobiography.
According to F4WOnline, one WWE source thought that it was weird for WWE to even publicize his retirement since if you are a casual viewer of the product you never see Ross anyway and would probably presume he'd already retired. It was also noted that WWE cutting JR loose would never have happened even a few years back and that it proves that Vince McMahon doesn't care about TNA at all.
Regarding JR's job working with talents in WWE NXT, there's speculation that William Regal may be the guy who takes those duties over.
