The lawsuit that was brought against The Rock’s HBO series "Ballers", claiming that the concept was stolen from their show, was thrown out of court yesterday.  They were being sued by the creators of a series called “Off Season” but the judge was not convinced that there was any case.

Speaking of Rock, his video channel has released a video cashing in on the new Pokemon game (which WWE also capitalized on during Raw).  You can watch it below:

Dan Huerbin sent word that they announced at last night’s Raw at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh that there would be a pre-sale for the 12/18 Roadblock PPV via Ticketmaster with the password being: wweppv.

Sports Illustrated interviewed Miz about Smackdown Live.  They sure have a tough act to follow after last night’s great Raw.  You can read it by clicking here.

Aaron’s announced a new sweepstakes in conjunction with WWE.  You can check it out below.
