Kevin Owens pulled from weekend events, WWE star on CM Punk texting him, Sheamus milestone, more
- WWE had Kevin Owens scheduled to start working live events this weekend, however, he has since been removed. He was scheduled to work this weekend's shows which featured John Cena tonight in Jackson, MS, Saturday in Baton Rouge, LA and Sunday in Lake Charles, LA.
As noted, King Barrett has been moved to those shows, so it's possible that he might now be working those events against Cena. WWE Champion Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Ryback are also slated to appear at all three shows. We would appreciate a report for these shows, so if you are attending one, please send us a report by clicking here.
- CM Punk noted on Twitter on Wednesday that Titus O'Neil congratulated him for the Blackhawks victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning and joked that he had to "explain to him it's a 7 game series." A fan on Twitter wrote to Punk that he probably got Titus fired for admitting that he texted him, to which Titus replied:
If that gets me fired I'll Happily be coaching on a college football staff ASAP!! It won't so at least u know plan B https://t.co/2nHeqncicl

- John Finnegan of the North American Wrestling Rankings blog, which started keeping track of wrestlers' records and ranking them as of November 2006, noted that Sheamus wrestled his 300th televised match this past Monday on RAW. Sheamus is only the fourth wrestler to reach this feat, joining Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston. Other stars closing in on this milestone include John Cena (291) and Kane (290). Please note that this records only count televised and pay-per-view singles matches since November 2006.
