Don't miss Tuesday Night AMP at 9 PM ET in the interactive AngryMarks chat and SmackDown spoilers when available! With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Tuesday's latest news.

John Cena's episode of the Dream Machines show on SyFy will air on May 8th at 10 PM ET, with a replay that Friday after SmackDown. (PWT)

We all know The Miz wasn't the first choice to be in The Marine 3 - that was Randy Orton. He wasn't even the SECOND choice though. Believe it or not they were going to put CM PUNK in the movie, but no less than Vince McMahon nixed that because he's TOO VALUABLE to be taken off TV every week. (WZ) Talk about a total 180! Before SummerSlam last year I can't imagine he would have cared if Punk was on TV or not.

The Spanish commentary for Raw last night confirmed that Sin Cara will be part of the next WWE tour of Mexico, starting May 24th.

The Bella Twins have had a lot to say since being "fired" on Raw.

Bella's have left the building... Happy ending at the Nutter center??? Well at least we finished it off! #ByeByeBellas

Need a day to gather our thoughts... Tune in tomorrow 2 http://www.nicoleandbrianna.com 2 hear what we have to say & what's next for the #BellaArmy! :)

PS Thank you all for your kind words! @WWEUniverse means the world to us! And the #BellaArmy will always conquer :) #TwinMagic Baby!

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla has updated their card for May 25th - we've posted it below.

* "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin vs. Willie Mack
* T.J. Perkins vs. Ryan Taylor
* B-Boy vs. Famous B
* Candice LeRae & RockNES Monsters vs. Joey Ryan & Peter Avalon & Ray Rosas

Hulk Hogan's latest "genius" idea to get TNA more publicity is that Impact Wrestling will encourage people to film and post videos of TNA superstars anywhere they encounter them in the public, TMZ style. The talent is not thrilled about this idea, and some are outright laughing given that said same footage has not done Hogan any favors, nor has TMZ's coverage of Hulk Hogan's sex tape. (PWN)

TNA has scheduled a new PPV for June 2nd. It looks to be a three hour "best of" highlights show though as opposed to a live event.

WWE.com's update on Triple H: "He has a non-displaced fracture of distal humorous. Fortunately, this is not something that needs surgery with pins and screws. We'll be treating him with a sling for comfort and following with him in the next few days."

Here's a preview of what's on tap at tonight's SmackDown taping. (PWT)

* Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show continues
* Christian is advertised for the taping
* WWE tapes Week 61 of NXT plus WWE Superstars

Dixie Carter believes that PPV is "a dying business" and that two hours of TV a week is not enough to promote a show - she thinks TNA would need SIX HOURS A WEEK to sell PPV. (WO)

The Rockstar Uproar Festival has confirmed that Fozzy slash Chris Jericho will be there in August and September. If Jericho still appears for WWE during this time, it would be quite the trick for him to pull off.

Booker T turns 47 today and former WWE wrestler Dave Taylor turns 55. (PWN) Happy birthday to both!

Hacksaw Jim Duggan got rave reviews for being friendly and approachable at the Calgary Comic Con. Jake Roberts did not. In a continuation of the longest-running joke in wrestling cons, Virgil's booth was "really really slow." (PWN)

Simon Diamond slash Pat Kenney returned to TNA at Monday's taping but wasn't just working backstage - he actually called a match between Crimson & Douglas Williams for Xplosion. Speaking of Xplosion, if you live in an area that carries it on TV, you can see Velvet Sky vs. Sarita tonight. (Rajah)

Here's the posted for TNA Slammiversary 2012.

Rey Mysterio has been pulled from upcoming autograph signings as part of his sixty day suspension, including the Wizard World Con in Philadelphia. (PWI)

Beth Phoenix thinks she's #1 with a bullet. "I would have to rank myself absolutely number one because I am. I've achieved more than any other WWE Diva in the past. I'm a four-time champion. The second female to ever compete in the Royal Rumble, amongst many, many other accolades... Diva of the Year. You name it, I've done it, so I would put myself number one." I for one am NOT arguing with her!

Evan Bourne on his recovery: "6 weeks of antibiotic infusions to kill my bone infection will be done in 90 minutes! One step closer to recovery."

Kofi Kingston on his big win last night with R-Truth: "Well hot damn! What do we have here?! @RonKillings and @TrueKofi New Tag Team Champions!!! Yezzir!!"

The pre-sale code WWE Money in the Bank PPV is (surprise surprise) WWEMONEY. (PWI)

Scott Wiper (The Condemned) will direct The Marine 3. Here's a synopsis for the film: "A Marine who is forced to put his skills to the test when a radical militia group kidnaps his rebellious niece. The unrelenting soldier does whatever is necessary to save his niece and stop a terrorist attack masterminded by the militia leader." (Rajah)

Raw's social media score was down this week from 198,893 to 162,413. Raw ranked #4 on cable TV Monday night and was down 5.8 percent compared to the yearly average of 172,395.

WWE.com talks to John Cena about the Bin Laden announcement a year later. "I realize a lot of people heard it for the first time from me, but I'd like to think that if anyone had been in my shoes, they would have done the same exact thing. The announcement pretty much overshadowed the pay-per-view and everything else going on at the time. That's how big and important it was, and why we are talking about it a year later."

Yoshi Tatsu is (apparently) taking his feud with Lord Tensai personally. (Rajah)

    As of today, I am planning to post several tweets regarding my thoughts and feelings toward Lord Tensai. First of all, I have a strong reason why I must defeat Lord Tensai. As in my Japanese lesson, "tensai" means natural disaster.

    As everyone knows, Japan experienced a major earthquake and tsunami on March 11th of last year. More than 15,000 people lost their lives, over 5,000 people are still missing, and more than 5,000 people were injured. In addition, over 130,000 people lost their homes. Sadly, the recovery has been very slow. Many people are still living in temporary housing, without jobs. Moreover,the Japanese people haven't been able to recover from the grief of losing family members,including children who lost their parents.

    Out of respect, I strongly urge Lord Tensai to change his name. As Japanese superstar of WWE, I cannot tolerate him using this name during Japanese appearance. Even though he is tremendously big and very strong, I will defeat him someday. Japan was defeated by natural disasters – "TENSAI". And I, Yoshi Tatsu is the one who defeats that "TENSAI". When I beat him, I will make him change his name. This is #YoshiRevolution Episode 1.

Here's a new Christopher Daniels interview and a Slam! Wrestling profile of Alex Silva.

WWE's SmackDown taping on July 3rd will be at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. (PWE)

Michelle McCool on Layla El's return: "Wow, y'all have ever so nicely reminded me that's it's been exactly 1 year since I left WWE....time flies when you're having fun!  And though I didn't see it, congrats to @mslayel ! Maybe I'll watch now that my tv will be flawless again! #laycoolforeverflawless"

Nicole and Brianna Garcia (the Bella Twins) are advertised for an autograph signing at the Frank & Son Collectible Show (located 19649 San Jose Ave, City of Industry, California). (Rajah)

For those interested Candice Michelle just blogged that she's pregnant again. Rave with Candice Michelle.

4:30 PM ET. Anarquia has been removed from the roster on TNA's website. (WZ) That doesn't prove he's been released, but it might be an indication.

Speaking of TNA, last week's Impact Wrestling quarter hours are below. (PWT)

Chyna has a new interview with Celebuzz where she talks about her change in diet since wrestling. "When I was wrestling, I ate as much meat as I could. Boys would have eating contests with me, so I would get bigger that way. Now my diet has completely changed. No salt, I crave vegetables all the time (and) 75 percent of my body change was (due to) diet."

Linda McMahon's first political ad airs on Wednesday.

Entertainment Weekly previews Eric Bischoff's new show.

There's a new pre-sale password for Money in the Bank - WWELIVE. (PWN)

5:30 PM ET. TNA has confirmed that Anarquia is no longer with the company. (PWN)

The venue for Raw in Dayton last night was reportedly "98% sold out" with very few empty seats. (PWI)

Jericho was actually supposed to "Beat the Clock" by one second last night, but the ref screwed up. It didn't ultimately matter though since Daniel Bryan was always supposed to win the challenge. (WO)

The Bella Twins will be appearing for Northeast Wrestling on June 1st.

Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart is heading to the Salvation Army in Tampa, Florida for an in-house substance abuse rehab program shortly - which will be his first time out of prison since being sent to jail for contempt of court on April 12th. (WO)

6:30 PM ET. Last but not least here's the latest update on Brock Lesnar's tantrum from Sunday night. As previously noted Brock felt he was double crossed by the finish of the Cena match, which did not make him look as strong as he had been promised, and he apparently yelled at Johnny Ace's assistant Marc Carano about how "everything is wrong" in WWE. Lesnar also implied Cena purposefully pulled down the bottom rope so that he'd blow out his knee. The problem is that aside from some of the yelling at Marc (reportedly very un-PG) a lot of this is a work by Lesnar AND or WWE to show he's in charge when it comes to his deal. It looks like he will only work the big PPV events from here on out - SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 29 next year. (WO)
