Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Jim Ross and NXT.
• Last month, a leaked photo surfaced online showing the WWE crew setting up for an episode of Monday Night RAW. Randy Orton was spotted in the ring chatting with his on-screen rival Gunther, while members of The Wyatt Sicks were seen without their costumes.

Jim Ross wasn’t happy about this and said the following on his podcast:
“Somebody’s a chicken sh*t quite frankly. It’s just unprofessional and has no place. Whoever did it should be fired, simple as that. Shouldn’t go to HR, just say, ‘Look, we’re done. You broke a rule that is important to maintain’.
But that picture is very revealing, it tells multiple stories, and so in that respect, it’s unique as you can see all the talents hanging around. That’s kind of a typical thing, everybody’s going through their paces, talking, trying to get their timing together, all those things… so it’s daunting.
I don’t like it, I don’t like when things like that happen.”
