Edge suffers serious injury at Smackdown house show

__________________________________________


WWE tag team champion Edge suffered a serious injury while working a Smackdown/ECW house show in San Diego, California, according to eyewitness reports. The initial diagnosis is rumored to be a torn Achilles tendon.

The injury apparently occurred while Edge was wrestling the opening moments of a singles match against Jeff Hardy. Edge was simply running towards Hardy when his leg gave way. After appearing to suffer a leg or ankle injury, the match was immediately stopped. Edge was subsequently carried out to the backstage area, throwing out a quick apology to fans notes Pro Wrestling Torch.

If the injury keeps Edge out of action for an extended length of time, it would be a serious blow to the WWE Universe as a whole, not just Smackdown. The unified tag titles were placed on Edge and Chris Jericho in part so WWE could extend their star power across both major brands.

Roddy Piper arrested for suspicion of DUI

__________________________________________


WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Roddy Piper was arrested early Thursday for suspicion of DUI, driving under the influence. TMZ.com reports that Piper was picked up in Hollywood, California after taking (and apparently failing) field sobriety tests.

Ironically, Piper had actually triggered controversy in recent years with his outspoken criticisms of drug and alcohol abuse by the wrestling stars of today and yesterday. Piper had most recently worked for WWE at WrestleMania XXV as part of a legends handicap match against Chris Jericho.

According to The Sun, Piper claimed that WWE had wanted him to return to the company as part of a new storyline program on Raw or Smackdown. He had recently worked a Piper's Pit segment for an independent show.

Serena Deeb officially signs with WWE

__________________________________________


SHIMMER/OVW women's wrestler Serena Deeb has officially signed with World Wrestling Entertainment. The SHIMMER promotion confirmed Deeb's signing in an extended press release. Deeb will work the Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory before any possible call-up to the main WWE roster.

Deeb had been rumored to be signing or at least in negotiations with WWE last May after she briefly appeared on-screen during a ECW telecast. Deeb denied the reports at the time though she had expressed long-time interest in joining the WWE promotion.

----

Serena Deeb quickly established a reputation for quality wrestling after over a few years through appearances with SHIMMER and multiple-time Ohio Valley Wrestling title reigns. Since WWE is now placing a slightly higher emphasis on that 'wrestling' quality among its divas in the TV-PG era, she should be able to make it out of the FCW developmental territory intact.

As a point of civic pride, Deeb's signing is noteworthy to this blogger since her roots are in my own Washington, D.C. area as a graduate of Fairfax County, Virginia's Oakton High School. If/when she makes the main WWE roster, she would be one of two D.C. area natives there, the other one being Batista.

Shimmer PR: Serena Deeb signs with WWE

__________________________________________


The following is courtesy of SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES:

----

Everyone at SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES would like to congratulate Serena Deeb on officially signing a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment.

From the first day she stepped into a wrestling ring, it has always been Serena's goal to earn a job with WWE. Serena moved from Virginia to Kentucky on her own dime for the sole purpose of enrolling in the Ohio Valley Wrestling training program several years ago, and she has been a mainstay in the OVW women's division ever since.

Serena debuted for SHIMMER on May 21, 2006 as a last minute substitution when an opening on the lineup created an opportunity. During the three years that followed, Serena displayed tremendous drive, determination, and eagerness to constantly learn. She has always tried to improve her game, be it in SHIMMER competition, at OVW, or in her handful of appearances for Ring of Honor.

Despite OVW losing its status a WWE developmental territory last year, Serena remained focused on achieving her goal of impressing WWE officials enough to be given a chance. All of Serena's hard work has now paid off, as she will soon be relocating to Florida to start with WWE developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling.

Personally speaking, I feel that Serena Deeb is one of the top three female babyface talents in North America today. She's got unbelievable fire, and can project emotion better than most wrestlers of a similar age and experience level. These are essential attributes to go along with the sound athletic wrestling fundamentals which she also possesses. She's a complete package, and is perfect for television.

Serena's training at OVW not only prepared her quite well for professional wrestling in general, but also specifically for the style of wrestling which WWE is looking for. Serena's continued instruction at FCW will only sharpen her existing skills, in preparation for the next stage of her career.

The three match series between Serena and Sara Del Rey were truly breakout performances for her as a wrestler. I feel those matches excellently displayed Serena's unbelievable potential to become a star in this industry. In her outings several weeks ago at the SHIMMER Vols. 23-26 tapings in Chicago, Serena continued to show that she absolutely deserved the spot at the top of the card that she had worked her way into.

I'd like to thank Serena Deeb for all of her contributions to SHIMMER during the past three years. From all of the memorable matches, to sacrificing her car on the drive up for the SHIMMER Title Tournament weekend, Serena gave so much to our product. Though we'll greatly miss her at future tapings, Serena has now been given the chance of a lifetime-- to work her way to the top of her chosen profession.

Good luck, Serena... and congrats!

Dave Prazak
