Backstage Heat On Dolph Ziggler, Update On Former TNA Knockout At WWE Performance Center

– Dolph Ziggler upset WWE officials last week for busting himself open off of headbutts during his match against Sheamus at WWE Payback. They felt it was “dumb and reckless.”

The laceration, above Ziggler’s right eye, disoriented the former World Heavyweight Champion and allowed Sheamus to hit a Brogue Kick for the victory. After the match, Ziggler went to the trainer’s room to sew up his wound, which resulted in ten stitches.

– It was reported in April that Sarah Stock, formerly known as Sarita in TNA Wrestling, served as a guest trainer at the WWE Performance Center for one week that month. She has been in Orlando, Florida since last week showing the ropes to some of WWE’s female talent. Sara Del Rey, WWE NXT Assistant Head Coach, put over the internationally acclaimed grappler on Twitter on Thursday.

It was reported in this week’s edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Stock, who primarily competes for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as Dark Angel, was brought in to teach the women the Mexican style of wrestling. The same publication reported earlier this month that Stock has not wrestled for CMLL since her initial training stint at the WWE Performance Center. She will, however, be making her return to CMLL ring this Saturday in a six-women tag team match. (see poster).
