With Abyss about to make a full time return to the ring, he has cut back on his creative team work, agent duties and backstage responsibilities for TNA.

The women that appeared for the Kong Challenge this past week and were not used were Amber O'Neil and Becky Bayless. O'Neil works SHIMMER, many southern independents, and had worked for many of the UWF/TNA co-branded events. Bayless works a lot with ROH and SHIMMER, and was trained by Homicide. She apparently mentioned that but it was edited from the broadcast.

The TNA trading card line by Tristar started to appear in stores this week.
