Paul Heyman And Ryback: 
Plans last week called for the CM Punk vs. Paul Heyman feud to continue until December of this year but plans changed over the weekend and they ended the feud at Hell In a Cell. Heyman was backstage at Monday’s RAW but the impression was given that his alliance with Ryback is finished. We noted before that Ryback may be pulled from Heyman because of heat Ryback has from WWE officials. Heyman may not be back on WWE TV until Brock Lesnar returns. 

Mick Foley:
We’ve been covering how WWE will be filming one of Mick Foley’s upcoming comedy events in New York. Foley himself stated the special could end up on TV, Netflix or a similar outlet. Sources within WWE report that the special is being taped so WWE will have it on-hand for the Network when it launches.
