- The WWE has booked the Xcel Energy Center for an upcoming RAW brand House Show on Friday, April 23rd in St. Paul, Minnesota. Just over a mile away on the same day, Ring of Honor will be making its debut at The Armory in St. Paul as well.

It isn't known at this time which promotion booked the date first or if one of the promotions had prior knowledge of a show set to take place in the area. More details should be known very soon.

- Althought it wasn't confirmed at the time of being posted, a story broke earlier today saying that Teddy Hart may have faked his knee injury at the NWA-TNA event last night (CLICK HERE for more).

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, we can now confirm that Hart was not injured last night in his match with Mr. Aguila (known to many as Essa Rios in WWE) and may have done so following a highly documented altercation with CM Punk and a meeting with TNA officials. According to a source backstage at TNA, they reportedly said quote, "That's Teddy. He marches to his own drum." Hart is currently in Pennsylvania and is scheduled to film a shoot interview with RF Video tomorrow. He is also scheduled to face Homicide this Saturday in Rahway, New Jersey for Jersey All Pro Wrestling.
