–MVP was removed from the main event of this weekend's TNA Slammiversary PPV event in Dallas, TX.

–TNA morale is down again according to reports, but that's not unusual because January was the last time I heard they were anything but down. This time it's apparently due to low Basebrawl turnout, and a lack of a new TV deal with Spike.
-There's some potential drama brewing between TNA and Ring of Honor, as it appears the former tried to snap up a few major names to boost their Slammiversary PPV. From the rumors going around, they tried to pin it on Davey Richards going "rogue", reaching out to a few of his former mates – primarily Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly. Problem is, as we just mentioned, the morale in TNA right now it's not great, and that's obvious from the outside as well.
-Steve Austin did a great interview with Ring Rust Radio this week, and talked about some of the original ideas he pitched for WrestleMania 30. Plus, CM Punk leaving the WWE, the possibility of "one more match" and more.
-According to our own Justin LaBar, WWE has signed Kevin Steen to a developmental contract and he will be headed to the Performance Center and NXT later this year.
