- WWE ring announcer Justin Roberts is apparently upset over reports saying he scolded new ring announcer Lauren Mayhew at Tuesday’s SmackDown taping over flubbing her cues. Roberts wrote the following on his Twitter account: “SO funny (& disturbing) reading “news” on the Internet which is why I quit reading/watching any news. 90% is speculation and opinion… So 90% is false. Smackdown was AWESOME last night as it is every week. No scolding of any kind and everyone did the job theywere booked 2 do.”

- Actor/rapper Ice-T and his wife Coco said in a recent interview with Monday Mayhem that WWE contacted them to host an upcoming RAW. Schedules are being worked out, but the two believe a RAW appearance this fall is likely.
