Jim Ross Names AJ as Breakout Performer of The Year

Breakout Performer Of The Year: "Who is the break out performer in WWE so farin 2012? Is there really any debate? It has to be AJ who has taken the opportunities provided her, the creative input she's received and has made her role bigger than I'm sure many perceived that it would ever become. Obviously, AJ waited for her opportunity and maximized her minutes no matter how few or how insignificant that they may have seemed at the time."

Rumors of FCW Diva Moving Up To The Main Roster

Source: prowrestling.net

Raquel Diaz (a/k/a Shaul Guerrero) lost the women's title to Alicia Fox's sister Caylee Turner (a/k/a Christina Crawford). She was very upset afterwards crying. Some folks were saying she was sad because she was leaving to move up to WWE. She did the Three Amigos and the Eddie Guerrero shimmy and strut, and people popped big for it. She can be big...she wrestles just like her dad and is smooth. So having her lose the title makes no sense unless she is moving up.

Independent Star Reporting To FCW After Surgery

Former SHIMMER star, Tenille Tayla, who was signed by WWE last year, has relocated to Tampa, Florida and is due to begin in WWE’s developmental territory, FCW shortly.

Breaking News: WWE Diva Maxine Quits WWE

Maxine, who's been seen mostly on WWE NXT and a few Raw appearances, including Monday's Battle Royal, has quit the company and is gone, according to WWE sources.

The word making the rounds is that she had been frustrated with a number of things, including not being offered a guaranteed deal and not having the chance to prove herself on TV beyond the WWE NXT level.

Maxine, real name Karlee Perez, signed a WWE developmental deal in 2009. After wrestling for Florida Championship Wrestling, she was brought up to NXT for the all Divas third season. She returned to NXT as part of the retribution season four and became involved in a triangle with Derek Bateman and Johnny Curtis.

"Miss USA" Takes A Shot at Madison Rayne

Madison Rayne claimed during a backstage segment on last week’s Impact Wrestling that she was once crowned Miss USA. Her kayfabe remark was brought to the attention of Miss USA 2010 winner and former Tough Enough contestant Rima Fakih, who upon seeing her picture, tweeted, “Well look at her pic u can tell she didn’t win.”

Rayne responded to Fakih, “….hmm, touché. But I’m still ‘tough enough’ to make it in this business… And I have a sweet ass crown. Boom!”

Rayne has since deleted the tweet.

Katie's  Two Cents: All I can say is Go Madison! Seems to me that Miss Former USA is just jealous that her little publicity stunt on Tough Enough didn't pan out the way she wanted. Disappointed that Madison took that tweet down, Rakih needed to be knocked down a few pegs after that little snobby comment she made.

Reby Sky, long time girlfriend of Matt Hardy, tweeted her displeasure over seeing Psycho Sid (a/k/a Sid Eudy) on Raw Monday night. Sky said, ""That piece of sh** Sid no-shows almost EVERY show in the last year but prances onto Raw. Please tell us again how much u LOVE 'the business.' Guess he managed not to 'lose his wallet' this time. Sad thing is, now that he got 10 more minutes of fame he'll get more bookings to NO-SHOW.

"F*** people like that. You f*** with peoples' time, money & professional integrity because you're too much of a douche to keep your word. I'm all for hustling, but BLACKMAILING promoters into giving you more money after threatening not to show then STILL not showing after they do... Makes me sick." [Edited for clarity]

WWE Hall of Famer Sunny (a/k/a Tamara Lynn Sytch) took exception to Sky's tweet, and took to Facebook to respond. "WOW! Just read something about Reby Sky, who is only known for being Matt Hardy's girlfriend going off about my good friend Sid Vicious…Like she has room to talk? Who is she? NO ONE! And she was completely disrespectful to the locker room at a show I was on with her… OOOHH just WAIT til I see her again..sh*t's gonna fly!
