Lol, Punk ain’t wining the title here especially off of Gunther. It’s pretty much a given Punk vs Drew 3 is gonna be a #1 Contender match so no one should be shocked.

Punk will be a rag doll for Gunther.

Don’t worry. Punk isn’t winning gold at all his last few years.

I dunno about all that. Punk probably getting at least one run especially if Seth somehow gets the belt back.
 
WWE's long-time lead Production Designer Jason Robinson is departing the company, PWInsiderElite.com has confirmed. We are told he is either finishing up or was done as of this past weekend's Bash in Berlin event. He was highly thought of and was considered incredibly talented by those he worked with. Robinson started with a background in theater and opera in terms of creating and designing sets before moving into the television realm. He was very much considered a Kevin Dunn guy during his run with the company. He has been with WWE for well over 23+ years and had a hand in creating just about every modern major event and television set you could think of. There were a lot of people shocked that he was exiting, noting he was as important as one can imagine when it came to designing the look and feel of WWE's broadcast product. From Wrestlemania to the Thunderdome, Robinson had his fingers in all of that.

Meanwhile, WWE cut Michelle Carlucci this past Friday, we can also confirm. Carlucci had a 36+ year run with the company starting back in 1988 and may have been the longest running employee still there when she finished last week. Carlucci held the post of Director of Production Travel, having previously held the role of Director of Freelance crew, Travel and Special Projects. Before that, she was manager, ETO for the company. A lot of long-time former employees were stunned today as word began to make the rounds,
 
Wrestlenomics.com is reporting that the turnstile count for AEW's All In event at Wembley Stadium this year was 46,476. That is the number of people who used a ticket at the event.

They reported that they confirmed the number with a representative from Brent Council, government to the area.

Tony Khan had noted on Twitter that over 50,000 tickets were sold to the difference in the numbers would be be no-shows and probably people who couldn't sell them on the secondary market.

Last year's event at Wembley saw 72,265 people go through the turnstiles and the announced attendance was 81,035.
 
Odyssey Jones was removed from the WWE roster page on Monday, leading to heavy speculation about his status.

Fightful was given a heads up on Sunday that Odyssey's "status" had changed with the company but weren't given clarification. It was confirmed to Fightful on Monday afternoon that Odyssey Jones wasn't at WWE Raw, and was not factored into creative plans for that evening. Beyond that, it was also noted to Fightful that Odyssey Jones was not at last week's Raw, and was not in "immediate creative plans," with no further context provided.

Last week, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods referenced Odyssey without mentioning him by name whatsoever.

Talent we've spoken with haven't heard from WWE about what is going on with Odyssey Jones. Fightful reached out to WWE in an official capacity and have not heard back.

For those asking, his removal from WWE's website is not a glitch.

While WWE has not responded to PWInsider.com requests for a confirmation or denial on whether Odyssey Jones has been cut from the company, this is what we can confirm:

-While Jones has been removed from WWE.com's roster page, as of this AM, he is still listed internally on WWE's internal roster.

-The removal from WWE.com was NOT a mistake.

-PWInsiderElite.com confirmed with sources in WWE creative circles that the team was conveyed a message that Jones is off the board for any future creative. No reason was given.

-There was a rumor making the rounds today that Jones had been arrested in Arkansas. PWInsider.com chased down that rumor and while someone with Jones' real name, Omari Palmer was arrested on 8/24, the age and the mugshot of that person do not line up with the Palmer who portrays Odyssey Jones. So, the arrest in Arkansas story is 100% false.

-Jones was not at last night's Raw.

-The belief among talents in the company is he is done, but no one seems to know why.

-If and when we get confirmation on his status, we will update.
