UNIFYING THE IC & U.S. TITLES, BOUND FOR GLORY SERIES, NEW AGE OUTLAWS AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2014-07-10 10:00:00
With Sheamus in the Battle Royal for the IC title at Battleground, I see it as a great chance to unify the US and IC titles. It's pretty simple. Have Sheamus win and the next night on RAW announce they are unified. Does anyone really care about the US title at this point anyway?

Unfortunately for those of us who remember when the United States championship meant something in the old NWA, you have a great point. Sheamus has been teasing unifying the championships, so that may indeed be where WWE is going with all this.

What's the status on the injury to Billy Gunn and the future of the New Age Outlaws?

Gunn did injure his back but is back to work as a trainer for WWE in developmental. There are no current plans for the Outlaws to return to the main roster as of this writing.

Any update on how Corey Graves is doing? I know that he may have to retire due to injuries, but has anything been officially decided? A shame if so. The guy has a ton of potential and the look of a star in my opinion.

Nothing was officially announced, but we have heard that he's likely not returning to the ring and WWE is looking at potential non-wrestling roles for him.

Where did Tensai go? He was announcing and then Poof!, he was gone!

He's still under contract but for some reason, hasn't been used on TV, which is a shame as he was very good on NXT.

With TNA having taped Impact episodes to air well into the summer, is it safe to assume that there will be no Bound for Glory Series this year?

The August tapings would be for the episodes running through the fall, so we'll know for sure by then.
