Dana White Talks Punk & JR, Jerry Lawler & Rick Steiner Appearances

- As noted earlier, Jim Ross met with Dana White this past week. White was asked about the meeting between the two during a UFC on Fox pre-fight press conference. White said that JR was “cool” and a really good guy, and it was the first time that they had met. White also said there wasn’t anything to CM Punk appearing at the UFC event last weekend, and that Punk just attended as a fan. White mentioned that he didn’t approach Brock Lesnar to sign with the UFC, and that Lesnar contacted him.

- Jerry “The King” Lawler is at the Cape Comic Con in Cape Girardeau, MO today until 6PM.

- The DWA presents “Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Night 2013” featuring Rick Steiner at the Schützenhalle in Visselhövede, Germany on May 4th, 2013.

More on Why Punk Was Kept Off RAW, JR Comments on Cole, Big E

- Jim Ross gave props to Michael Cole via Twitter:

“Most don’t realize how valuable @MichaelCole is to #wwe. Helps produce @JerryLawler & keeps Texan @JCLayfield in line. Full time #Raw trio?”

- Big E Langston will debut his own theme song on tonight’s episode of WWE Main Event as he faces Zack Ryder.

- As noted before, CM Punk was kept off Monday’s RAW to sell The Undertaker’s win at WrestleMania 29. Another reason WWE officials kept him off RAW is because they didn’t want him to receive a massive pop from the post-WrestleMania crowd that was at Monday’s show. At one point, there were plans for Punk to come out and cut a promo but they nixed it.
