McIntyre & Barrett WWE Updates, Heyman-Lesnar, DiBiase/Maryse

WZR RADIO NOTE: This week’s WZR Radio will NOT be airing on tonight this week. A key member of our production staff will be attending the live NXT and SmackDown! tapings and therefore we’re unable to do the live show tonight. We’ll be running one day later this week on Wednesday (tomorrow). So be sure to join us LIVE this Wednesday night (tomorrow) from 8-10EST. I’ll post lots of reminders today and tomorrow.

— As noted last night here on the website, Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett have been pulled from WWE TV because their current work visas have expired meaning they can no longer work in the United States. Barrett has gone back to Great Britain while he waits for a new visa, while McIntyre has gone back to Scotland while he waits for a new visa. No word on how long getting the new visas will take. This is why WWE wrote McIntyre’s departure into the Smackdown storyline.

— Paul Heyman wrote on Twitter: Brock Lesnar is 265 pounds, and won’t have to cut any weight for this Sat night’s UFC 116 main event. Holy FN S—!

— We had reports that Maryse did an awesome job as valet for Ted DiBiase on the RAW shows. The idea behind the pairing is to add more charisma to DiBiase’ act as everyone views him as a future top star, but he’s not quite at that level where fans accept him as a top star.
