-- WWE.com has confirmed the online report of Snitsky suffering a broken nose due to CM Punk's GTS maneuver during their match on Monday's Raw.

*Former WWE manager Paul Bearer (a.k.a. Percy Pringle) appears to be enjoying the sudden burst of attention he's received due to the latest Kane character twist. In case you missed it, Kane kept repeating "Is He alive or is He dead?" to the ringside commentators on Monday's Raw, which has led many fans to speculate that Kane was talking about his possibly dead storyline father and that the Paul Bearer character will be returning to the company after a four-year absence, though neither Pringle or WWE have obviously yet to confirm this.

*Appearing live will be TNA World Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Booker T, TNA World Tag Team Champions The Latin American Xchange, Rhino, Tomko, The Motor City Machine Guns, Jacqueline, James Storm, TNA X-Division Champion Petey Williams, Jay Lethal, Roxxi, ODB, Sonjay Dutt, The Beautiful People, Shark Boy and more!

*There is some political behind-the-scenes infighting between members of TNA management regarding the weekly TV ratings for Impact as they still "live and die" by them. On a week-to-week basis, the ratings are still the company's best indicator on how things are going as it usually takes months for them to get the final pay-per-view buy numbers. Anyway, with the ratings largely struggling as of late, people in management have started airing out their frustration by pointing the finger of blame at some of the wrestlers and using them as scapegoats. Naturally, some people are second-guessing Samoa Joe as the company champion (reportedly due to his physical appearance), but others are being used as scapegoats as well.
