Wrestling news and notes for this weekend.

Fightful has an interview with Big Trouble Ben Bishop coming out this week. It's now up for tier 2 subscribers.
The Zack Sabre Jr title change from Hirooki Goto was met with shock from those we spoke to within the wrestling industry.
Charles Robinson was said to be okay after the bump he took at Night of Champions. The spot was met with huge laughter from those backstage.
We asked talent about Tony Hinchcliffe being booked again for Summerslam weekend. There wasn't much feedback on it, but one talent said "at least it's not another roast."
For some reason, there were rumors of a "plant" regarding CM Punk's apology in Saudi Arabia. The staff we spoke to said that if that was the case, they hadn't heard of it.
