• WWE Title Holder Possibly Injured At Live Event
It looks like WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy got injured at last night’s WWE RAW Live Event in Charleston, West Virginia.
A fan noted that Murphy might have been injured when he landed directly on his knee during his Cruiserweight Title defense against Cedric Alexander.
Buddy Murphy got injured at the #WWECharleston house show. Such a crazy sight seeing that in person. Looked like it hurt when he landed directly on his knee.

• Triple Threat Title Match Announced For RAW
WWE announced that Dean Ambrose will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Seth Rollins & Bobby Lashley in a Triple Threat match on next week’s RAW.
Below is what WWE posted regarding this match:
“After pinning Dean Ambrose in this past Monday night’s Six-Man Tag Team Match, an increasingly aggressive Seth Rollins earned an Intercontinental Championship that, per Triple H, would be a Falls Count Anywhere Match.
Taking full advantage of the lenient stipulation, The Architect battered the self-proclaimed “Moral Compass of WWE” all over the arena, even ambushing his foe before the match. After hitting Ambrose with a Stomp that would have won the bout, however, Bobby Lashley — who had brawled with The Kingslayer as Raw went on the air — hit the ring and mercilessly pummeled the would-be Intercontinental Champion. After Ambrose scored the pinfall, “The All Mighty One” continued the brutality by driving Rollins through a table.
This coming Monday on Raw, Rollins will once again have a chance to reclaim Team Red’s workhorse title, but he’ll need to battle both Ambrose and Lashley in a Triple Threat Match. Who will walk into the WWE Royal Rumble event as Intercontinental Champion?”
