brock lesnarEarly this morning, we reported that “The Viper” Randy Orton had been pulled from Thursday’s episode of WWE Smackdown, and it now appears that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar has been removed from all advertising as well. 

The usual roster of talents, including John Cena, is still scheduled for Friday’s show. 

WWE Happy w/ Kevin Owens

WWE officials are extremely happy with NXT newcomer Kevin Owens, reports PWInsider.com. The former ROH World Champion has brought his diehard fans with him from the indies, which is something a lot of transitioning stars are unable to do, and his “KO” t-shirt has been selling incredibly well since his debut at the December NXT Takeover live event.
