Kurt Angle Injured, USA Network Extends Raw Deal, Brock Lesnar’s UFC Career Over?

- “Kurt threw his back out early in the match last night and gutted out the next 15-plus minutes, as he and Desmond delivered one of the best of the year,” noted Dixie Carter on Twitter.

No word on if he’s taking extended time off.

- Press Release:

World Wrestling Entertainment® and USA Network today announced a four-year renewal agreement that will keep ratings juggernaut WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW® on the network through fall 2014. WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW, a cable mainstay for more than 16 years, continues to be one of the most watched regularly scheduled programs on ad-supported cable television, contributing to USA’s status as the number one cable network.

“I couldn’t be happier about continuing one of the most successful collaborations in television history,” said Bonnie Hammer, President, NBC Universal Cable Entertainment and Universal Cable Productions. “Vince McMahon and his entire team are an invaluable part of the USA family.”

“USA Network is a true partner and not just a network that distributes WWE’s premiere television show, WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW,” stated Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. “I am thrilled to have a long term deal with USA Network.”

[The deal was not up, so it appears they may have something else planned. The LA Times brought up WWE's pans of starting their own cable channel; so the USA Network might be partners].

- Former WWE star Brock Lesnar isn’t doing too good, with some speculating that his UFC career is over. He is being transferred to the Mayo Clinic with what is being described as an intestinal disorder. He’d already been dealing with Mononucleosis.
