Bragging Rights, CM Punk news, AAA star going to WWE, Batista in Japan

- The Team RAW vs. Team SmackDown match at Bragging Rights may turn into a three-way with John Cena leading a team of Nexus members.

- Televisa in Mexico has confirmed that WWE signed AAA star Alex Koslov to a developmental deal. Koslov last worked a tryout match for WWE in August, losing to Alberto Del Rio. It was reported a few months back that Koslov may start with WWE at the end of this year or early 2011.

- It’s expected that Bret Hart will play a big part of the go-home RAW for Bragging Rights on October 18th since it’s from Calgary, Alberta, Canada at the Pengrowth Saddledome. Bret is being advertised for RAW that night.

- CM Punk was originally scheduled to do commentary with Michael Cole and Josh Matthews on the final WWE NXT on SyFy episode last week but was pulled. While Punk has lost his stable and has been losing clean lately, it’s said that he is in no danger with the company but they have nothing going on for him right now.

- Batista is in talks with Japan’s IGF pro wrestling promotion about working their December 3rd show at Sumo Hall. If they can agree on terms, Batista will be facing Satoshi Ishii.

- A match with Sheamus vs. The Undertaker is still the top pick for WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta but a match with Taker vs. John Cena as the main event was discussed this past week.

Makes sense with the poster having Raw on one side and Smackdown on the other then the Nexus logo in the middle... although that being said it does show Cena on team Raw, so it's an old poster anyway (mayber Raw vs Smackdown and Nexus representing Raw vs Smackdown in two seperate matches?).

Glad to see they are getting more AAA talent (BTW Koslov? any relation to Vladimir?).

Go home Raw? my guess is they'll have him as a guest ref?

Nothing to do for him is usually how most wrestlers end up leaving WWE.

So Batista left WWE to pursue a film carear and instead he signs up with MMA Strikeforce and is in talks with IGF pro wrestling... yet no film? (also he's a guest star in one of the Season 4 Chuck episodes).

I guess Sheamus is going to develope a losing streak at Wrestlemania as I can't see him ending Undertakers carear.

Thanks for the updates as I hate spoiler sites as they either have bad spyware or annoying ads (including them "todays sponsor" ones which takes you to there page before you can view the site your on).

Chuck is a fairly big show though, I believe. At least it will give him exposure.

The 3 way tag match at Bragging Rights sounds good. Cena leading someone other than RAW for the first time in years, Kane and Undertaker possibly being forced to work together on Team SmackDown and they could kick off the potential Unified World Championship storyline if Orton and Kane come face to face.

I agree Rocky and Stone Cold has already appeared on Chuck and will return for Series 4, Stacy Kieblier is guest starring too in the next series (the makers must be WWE fans, LOL!!).

Am I correct in saying that Alex Koslov was in TNA when they did that X-Division World Cup,Think he represented the rest of the world team(?)

I think he was

No relation whatsover but if he keeps that name when/if he makes it to the main roster, you can bet they'll turn him into Vladimir's younger brother or something.

He was very impressive in my opinion. I think he'd be a good addtion to the roster and would get over big on SD if pushed properly
