John Cena and Nikki Bella Invited to Obama Dinner

John Cena and Nikki Bella have been invited to President Obama’s last White House Correspondents Dinner on April 30th.

Finn Balor Reportedly Banged Up

As noted, Finn Balor did an ankle injury spot in his WWE NXT Title match against Samoa Joe last week in Lowell, MA. This lead to speculation that Balor might have suffered some type of legitimate ankle injury, however the spot was simply part of the match story line.

Balor is reportedly banged up right now, but his shoulder is the most banged up, not the ankle, as shown by him still doing the double foot stomp later in the tour.

Viktor – Social Outcasts Update

As noted, with both Adam Rose and Konnor serving 60 day WWE suspensions, Viktor replaced Adam Rose as a Social Outcasts member during WWE’s recent European tour. Viktor’s move to the Outcasts was said to be temporary, and there are no plans in place for him to become a permanent member of the group. Below is a photo from Viktor on the Europe tour:
