While it hasn’t been much of a secret, we can confirm that Shane Helms is working with TNA in an agent capacity.

The company was looking for additional agents several months ago, as some were being overworked. When names were being thrown around as possibilities for the roles, Helms’ name was brought up. The Hardy Boys vouched for Helms, and he came in and started contributing almost immediately.

Helms has been out of the ring, as he underwent ACL surgery last year. He’ll likely be rehabbing until September or October, and continuing to work in his position with TNA Wrestling. Helms has also been booking and promoting OMEGA with the blessing of both Matt and Jeff Hardy. The company has booked both of the Hardys, in addition to TNA star Ethan Carter III.

Daniel Bryan’s Recent Comments Regarding His Injury

Current WWE Intercontinental Champion Daniel Bryan made news this week when WWE pulled him from their European tour. Rumors had swirled for weeks regarding his health, with many said he’d been hurting leading in to the decision.

Before Wrestlemania, Bryan appeared on Talk is Jericho and spoke about his neck and elbow injury from last year, and how that affected him.

“We didn’t know how my neck was going to do when I came back,” Bryan told Jericho on the podcast. “It’s the same with any injury, I think. If you have knee surgery, you don’t know how your knee is going to do until you actually start putting pressure on it and you can do as much rehab or whatever you want, and now it’s this thing of it being like getting pretty worn down, and I’ve never felt this way before.”

Many had questioned Bryan’s decision to not have an additional surgery. Current United States Champion John Cena was one of those, and he did so in public fashion on an episode of Total Divas. Bryan would later say in the podcast that it may be age catching up to him.

“But I’m also getting older. So I don’t know if it’s just (that), but sometimes when you’ve been off for nine or 10 months, then coming back takes maybe some getting used to, and I don’t know if I’m still in that adjustment process,” he said.

Bryan is scheduled to defend the WWE Intercontinental Title against Bad News Barrett At WWE Extreme Rules.

UFC on Fox 15 is in the books, and the UFC had to be happy with the results. Several young stars put their thumbprint on the event, and others slam dunked it. The event was headlined by three of the top ranked middleweights showcasing their abilities, and making their case for a title shot later this year.

Luke Rockhold continued his path of destruction, totally dominating former Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida. From bell to bell Rockhold mollywhopped Machida, before submitting Machida with a rear naked choke in round 2.

Jacare Souza did exactly what he should have, dominating last minute replacement Chris Camozzi for the second time. Souza was originally slated to take on Yoel Romero, who had to withdraw last week after an injury. Souza used a masterful wall walk to set up a quick armbar victory.

Paige VanZant further solidified her meteoric rise to fame with a dominant victory over veteran Felice Herrig. PVZ overcame early struggles and controlled the last two and a half rounds, ending up with a two scores of 30-26. VanZant did look susceptible to submissions, however, but took on someone with three times the experience as she.

Tonight’s edition of Impact will feature four tag team qualifying matches, with the winners moving on to the main event Ultimate X match for the vacant tag team titles. Josh Mathews will also be calling the show solo after Taz’s exit.

Ultimate X Qualifying Match
Hardy Boys vs. Revolution

Khoya and James Storm work over Matt Hardy early on. Jeff Hardy tries to reach out for the tag, but Matt can’t get there. Matt hits a Side Effect and tags Jeff, who drops Storm and hits his signature leg drop.

When Hardy goes after Khoya, it allows Storm to battle back. Storm hits the Last Call on Khoya on accident, and then Khoya eats a Twist of Fate and Swanton from the Hardy Boys for the pin.

Winners: Hardy Boys via pinfall (Swanton Bomb)

Storm berates Khoya, even though he’s the reason they lost. The crowd goes crazy for the Hardys.

– Eric Young comes out wearing a Kurt Angle shirt and says Angle is ducking him. Angle comes out, says he’ll give him another chance, and turns his back to Young, giving him the opportunity to strike. Young doesn’t do it and leaves.

– Kenny King and Low Ki are backstage trying to bully Rockstar Spud, but Ken Anderson comes to his rescue.

Ultimate X Qualifying Match
Mr. Anderson & RockStar Spud vs. BDC

Low Ki and Kenny King jump Spud while Anderson is doing his intro. While the ref tries to get Anderson under control, the beating continues. Spud tries his best to fight back, but Low Ki won’t let him make the tag.

The beating continues until Spud rolls up Kenny King, but Low Ki has the ref distracted, so no dice. An enziguri has both men down, but Low Ki cuts off the hot tag. Anderson has had enough and physically moves Spud to the corner for the tag.

Anderson cleans house, using the rolling Samoan drop on both, then tossing Rockstar Spud into a huracanrana on Low Ki. BDC uses a distraction to get the pin.

Winners: BDC via pinfall

– EC3 is in the back with Bram and Tyrus, bragging about being undefeated. Bram says he’s going to take Tigre Uno’s mask tonight. EC3 and Bram are great together.

– BDC is backstage bragging about beating up the Rising. MVP wants Homicide to beat up Angle next. Homicide pulls out a razor blade.

Ultimate X Qualifying Match
Tigre Uno & Jay Rios vs. EC3 & Bram (w/Tyrus)

Uno and Rios go after EC3’s injured arm right off the bat. Tigre Uno runs right into Tyrus outside, who slams him right into the floor, but EC3 only gets a two count off of it. EC3 and Bram methodically work over Uno, not allowing him to tag.

Rios gets the tag, and runs wild, a sequence we’ve seen over and over tonight. Rios hits a springboard cutter, but EC3 breaks up the count and hits him in the head with his arm brace. Bram lands Brighter Side Of Suffering, EC3 tags in and gets the pin.

Winners: EC3 & Bram via pinfall (Brighter Side of Suffering)

– Kurt Angle is backstage and says he hopes Homicide has insurance.

– Christy Hemme brings out the TNA Knockouts. She says next week will be a Knockouts themed episode of Impact. Madison Rayne makes Brooke, Gail Kim and Angelina all look like amateurs on the mic in this segment. Those four are in a number one contender’s match next week. Awesome Kong will take on Taryn Terrell for the title. Kong comes out, a brawl happens and Taryn takes everyone out with a dive.

Ring of Honor star ACH on Jay Lethal and the ROH TV Title

Attending WWE’s NXT tryout camp in 2014:

Bill Demott was there and he was not a jackass, he was actually one of the nicest trainers, but really all of them were nice, he was just very nice and it sucks that people came out and he lost his job with these allegations. It was one of the most intense trainings or boot camps I’ve ever been to. It really all comes down to heart, wrestling is based on heart and the mental, they just want to see if they can break you and see if you can hold on, because only the strong survive in this world.

Feedback he received from the NXT tryout:

They just said to me not right now, which I understand. Look at the guys they’ve got there right now, good things happen to those that wait and it’s truly true. I am a firm believer in when it happens it’s supposed to happen. I can patiently wait and honestly I love the Indies. A lot of guys don’t like the Indies because a lot of guys want to hot shot and go right there because thats the big bucks and where I don’t blame them, I love what I do. I love wrestling and before I go there I want to get all that I can out of Ring of Honor, I want to be the best wrestler for Ring of Honor that I can be. I want to learn all I can right now so that I am ready.

Facing Samoa Joe in ROH:

There is no way I ever thought I would be in the ring with Joe, so to actually wrestle Joe was such a cool experience. But I had to fight Joe. I watched Joe knock out Kenta, so my mentality going into that match was; I am going to bring it and I know that I brought it.

Some of his favorite matches to date:

My time limit draw with (Jay) Lethal I really enjoyed. My match with Cedric (Alexander) from Mike’s (Bennet) Bachelor Party was one of my favorite matches with Cedric, who I think does not get the props that he deserves and then my match with Jimmy Jacobs. Jimmy was someone I always wanted to wrestle and when I was going through a lot of my early issues in Ring of Honor, Jimmy was always there whispering things in my ear that kept me going. So he has been a really big help to me and I genuinely look up to him, he’s got such a great mind and is a really cool to be in the ring with.
