Report: Brett DiBiase Released From WWE?

WWE developmental wrestler Brett DiBiase has been removed from Florida Championship Wrestling's roster page, which would indicate that he has been released. We can't confirm or deny that just yet though but it appears likely.

The third generation wrestler had been under contract to WWE since 2008.

Meanwhile, Briley Pierce and Rodney Thomas were added to the section. Pierce is Dolph Ziggler's younger brother, Ryan Nemeth. Thomas is a student from Lance Storm's Wrestling Academy who has competed as "Shotgun" Brock Barker.

Also for those asking about the upcoming WWE releases, we usually see FCW releases first followed by main roster cuts. WWE sources say roster cuts could be coming at any moment.

Michelle McCool Confirms Departure From WWE

Michelle McCool is gone from WWE after losing a Loser Leaves WWE Match to Layla last night at Extreme Rules.

The wrestler formerly known as Awesome Kong made her WWE television debut immediately following McCool's defeat and laid out the multi-time champion with an Implant Buster.

In an indication as to why she's leaving WWE, McCool revealed to WWE.com that she's endured a slew of injuries the past two months.

"My foot has been injured for two months now, broken toe, torn joint capsules, torn MCL. I took a good beating by Layla and Kharma, too. I know I'll be feeling it tonight, tomorrow and probably the next day," McCool said. "But I'll wear it with pride."

McCool was introduced to the WWE audience in 2004 as a competitor in the inaugural Diva Search. Although the former school teacher lost the competition, WWE signed her to a contract in November of that year. She had been wrestling ever since.

"I've been doing this for six years now. Love me or hate me, I hope the WWE Universe can respect that night in and night out, I've given it my all," McCool tearfully said. "This is definitely emotional, and I'm sure it’ll be like that for awhile."

While McCool hopes to see her fans again, it won't be in the ring.

"Thank you for the love and the hate. Thank you for being you and for watching. Hopefully I'll see you around – not in the ring – but maybe someday."

She echoed similar comments on Twitter, writing, "Thx for the love guys....I know there will always be rumors, but that was it - real talk! @mslayel ....nothing but luv 4 u! Luv u all...nite!"

April Hunter Reveals Why She Turned Down TNA

April Hunter, who has competed on the independent wrestling scene for numerous years, was offered a contract by TNA Wrestling in 2009. She explained why she declined their contract offer in a recent interview.

"First off, I do like the people there and enjoy the locker room and backstage. It's a fun company. But there were a few issues," she said.

"The money wasn't more than I'm offered on the indies. However, the main issue was they asked me to sign a waiver clearing them of any future medical issues, and that I had to get cleared by my own doctor first. I knew of two other girls fighting with them to get their medical bills paid at that point and I wasn't comfortable with the idea after all the injuries I've already been through. I know how easy it is to get hurt and I also know they like to suggest certain high risk moves at times. That is what royally screwed up a match I had with Desire years ago. TNA management put the match together using moves that neither one of us were comfortable or familiar with. So, I said no.

"I'd never rule them out if they change their policies, but for now, I don't think it's for me."

Beth Phoenix Tweets On 'Kharma', Brodus Clay Injury Update

-- As noted last night here on the website, Brodus Clay suffered a severe gash on his head last night at Extreme Rules after being driven into a ladder by Christian. A great deal of blood gushed from his wound and it is said that he may have suffered a concussion. He also got staples in his head after the match. Jim Ross wrote the following on Twitter regarding Clay: "Brodus Clay's a tough monster. Had staples put in his head but wants to compete now! This kid can be a star. Congrats Christian. Overdue."

-- Beth Phoenix took to Twitter to comment on Kharma's WWE debut. She wrote, "It would appear that as we say goodbye to one Diva, there is a new terror on the horizon."

Jim Ross Blogs: Christian's Title Win, McCool-WWE, R-Truth

Jim Ross posted a new blog entry at http://www.JRSBARBQ.com/ Here are the highlights…

On How He Is Feeling: Very sore today. Broken right hand is hurting. Iced it before going to bed to reduce swelling. Certainly not using the hand as an excuse for losing because I pretty much forgot about it once the 'match' started. Bowling shoe ugly bout w/o question. Did the best we could w/ 2 non wrestlers in a tag match.

On Michele McCool: Sorry to see Michelle McCool leave WWE. She's an example of what intelligently approaching ones craft will do for you. Michelle evolved into a skilled performer via hard work. Perhaps I'll see her when her alma mater, Florida State University, hosts Oklahoma in college football this September. Michelle is a gifted athlete and will be missed.

On Christian: Really happy for Christian's success in winning World Heavyweight Title. Christian was 'due' and is one of the more underrated performers in WWE and has been for a good while.

On R-Truth: R Truth has begun to distinguish himself and had an impactful cameo at Extreme Rules. Again, the key issue here is for Truth to contiune to take advantage of the moment. The door is open, so to speak, and hopefully Truth will walk through it to the next level. An interesting story to follow.

On Kharma: Enjoyed Kharma's debut at Extreme Rules. She can potentially be a huge attraction for WWE. She's different and special. Curious to see where she goes from here. I personally expect great things from her.

Live News & Notes From WWE Extreme Rules

I just came back from the Extreme Rules Event from Tampa, FL and thought I would give some observations.

Crowd was hot and excited all night.

Sin Cara got a good response from the crowd for his dark match with Tyson Kidd. Sin Cara hit the his trampoline entrance perfectly so hopefully he's lost a lot of the nerves he's had from his debut.

Christian received the loudest reaction of the night when he grabbed the World Heavyweight Title to win the championship and received a great reaction when celebrating his win with Edge.

R-Truth was heavily booed during his interference in the Triple Threat Cage match and crowd gave him the "What" treatment during his backstage promo.

Decent Reaction for Kharma. It seemed like people were shocked at her size.

Crowd was about 60/40 for Cena.

After winning the WWE Championship and the show went off the air, Cena celebrated with the crowd and went towards the back, then came back out and stood on the announce table and stated that while winning the WWE Championship was big, that there was something bigger that happened and that Osama Bin Laden was killed, to which the crowd chanted USA.

All in all, great show and crowd was hot all night, and the fact that Bin Laden was announced as being killed capped off the night. I'm sorry but for celebrating a death, but if anyone's death should be celebrated, it should be Bin Laden.

Brodus Clay Injured At WWE's Extreme Rules PPV

Brodus Clay was injured last night at Extreme Rules.

During the Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio ladder match, Clay got hit by Christian with a ladder, and was busted open. Later in the match, when there was a spot where Alberto Del Rio was sent to the floor, there was a puddle of blood where Clay had rolled out too.

While not confirmed, it is thought that Clay could have suffered a concussion.
