— The Rock has pulled out of scheduled media appearances for Pain & Gain as well as a scheduled appearance at last night’s MTV Movie Awards because of the muscle tear he suffered at WrestleMania. As noted earlier, the injury does seem legit but there are also a lot of issues between The Rock and WWE at the current time. More shortly.
— CM Punk is not currently set for the RAW house shows in Europe this week. This has nothing to due with his injuries; he was already pulled from house shows going forward and is not expected to compete anytime soon. The talk backstage is that Punk was lucky in that he didn’t need surgery and just needs time to rest his knees and heal up.
