» As noted before, NXT season 2 Rookie Lucky Cannon was formerly known as Johnny Prime in WWE developmental. Apparently he was given the Lucky Cannon name because WWE didn’t want anymore John’s on the roster.

» NXT Season 2 Rookie Percy Watson already has some heat on him backstage for acting up.

» Chris Jericho’s new gig as a game show host for ABC network’s “Downfall” show has been a major topic of discussion backstage in WWE for the past two weeks.
