Dirtsheets:

According to 411mania, former University of Minnesota linebacker Mike Rallis has followed in the footsteps of fellow Minnesota alumni Brock Lesnar and Shelton X Benjamin as the newest WWE NXT Superstar, Digg Rawlis.

We noted that The Smart Athletic Friends stable with Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods would have different nicknames for each tag team combination of the trio. While the combination of Xavier and Kofi is called Speed Force, the combination of Big E and Xavier is called Muscle Bomb. They worked as babyfaces and defeated Los Matadores at last night's WWE live event in Moline, IL.

Originally Posted by PWI It was reported earlier this week that Samoa Joe's injury was a shoulder injury but word is that he's dealing with rib issue also. Joe was hurt on the first night of tapings in Bethlehem, PA but worked through the week, which made things worse. Joe ended up not going to India for the TNA promotional tour with Kurt Angle.

Kurt Angle on his final contract and retirement plans:

"I can’t really say who I’m going with yet or what company I’m going to sign with. I am going to sign, but I’m going to just sign for one year, and that’s that. I think I’m pretty much done, I’m just going to have the best year I can have. Hopefully it’ll be my best year, then I’m going to retire," Angle told AlternativeNation.net in a new interview. Angle continues to keep his name in the public as he rehabs from knee surgery. Angle says he will not be cleared to wrestle again until January, but a press conference is scheduled for sometime in October to announce his new deal. "I went with the company that was going to really emphasize what I wanted, and that was a limited wrestling schedule," Angle said. "I would say no more than 40 dates a year, that’s what I wanted, that’s where I feel I am at in my career right now. That’s a lot of the reason, like I said, the company that I’m signing with is a company that really wanted to take care of me, both from a wrestling standpoint and a financial standpoint, and I’m very happy with it."

Supposed to announce who he signed during next month.
