It's the Weekend 3 Count, brought to you by Triple Threat CLE. The W3C, brings you news and rumors going on around the wrestling world. Whether it's WWE, NXT, TNA, GFW, ROH, Lucha Underground or the independent wrestling scene, I'll talk about it.

*** WWE and NXT News ***

- Be sure to head back and check out last Sunday's WWE Battleground recap, if you missed the show, or just want to relive the matches.

- After Undertaker's return on Sunday, it was announced that there will be a Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar match set for SummerSlam.

- Also for SummerSlam, there are rumors of Sting possibly competing in a tag match with Roman Reigns against Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper. This has not been confirmed at all yet. WWE reported that they did have plans of a six man tag for SummerSlam, which would have been The Wyatt Family vs. Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Sting. Due to Erick Rowan suffering an injury, those plans fell through. Other reports have said the six man may still happen with a new Wyatt Family member.

- This past week on RAW, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and WWE United States Champion John Cena went nose to nose. Rumors have said there could be a possible champion vs. champion match set for SummerSlam with both titles on the line.

- There have been talks of Smackdown becoming a live show on either Tuesday or Friday night's when Smackdown makes the move to the USA Network in January.

- Anything resembling Hulk Hogan has been removed from the WWE website. Curtis Axel who was portraying Axelmania, dressing like Hulk Hogan, has dropped the gimmick. Hogan himself has also been fired from Tough Enough and released by WWE. Why? Because reports have been saying that Hogan went into a racial tirade which may have cost him his job with WWE. Hogan admitted to doing the racial tirade and has sincerely apologized for it.

- WWE is possibly looking at 2-Time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair as Hogan's replacement on Tough Enough.
