WWE to run combined event in Minneapolis, WWE 24/7, CM Punk injury
On Thursday, September 29, 2005 at 2:32 PM EST WWE will be running a combined RAW & SmackDown taping on Sunday, November 13th in Minneapolis at the Target Center. The company made the decision to not go live with RAW that week following a tour of the UK that would make travel plans very hard on the wrestlers.

Multichannel News reported on Wednesday that Verizon's new FiOS TV service has now been approved in Massapequa Park, Long Island. This means this is the first area in New York that will now have access to WWE 24/7, with the exception of current RCN subscribers. We reported on Tuesday about Verizon officially picking up the WWE 24/7 service, which is great news for WWE.
Former Ring of Honor star and current WWE development talent CM Punk suffered a ruptured eardrum following a match against Danny Inferno in his OVW TV debut two weeks ago. Punk noted in his "live journal" that he is currently deaf in one ear from the injury, but was cleared to return to the ring last night. It should also be noted that Punk suffered a broken nose in the same match and he posted a picture of the aftermath that reportedly saw bone stick out. For more, click here.
