RAW Tag Team Championship Belt Reportedly Getting A Redesign.
Both the RAW and the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championships belt design looks like in need of a desperate makeover for years now and according to a report from Heel By Nature, a belt insider by the name of Belt Fan Dan (cool name by the way) said that WWE has contracted Dave McMillan to design the men's tag team titles for RAW and Smackdown.
Dave McMillan is the same person that designed the "penny" tag team title belts and debuted it in 2010. The report also stated that the "penny" design was actually the design for the women's tag team championship but later WWE scrapped it because they didn't like it. Thank God.

Damien Sandow On His Acting Career And If He Could Wrestle Again.
The great Chris Van Vleet posted his latest interview with Damien Sandow on Youtube (click here to watch it) about his next chapter in life but Sandow also talked about his acting career and if he could wrestle again (shout out to WrestlingInc for the transcript):
"Right now I'm really just trying to focus on acting but that doesn't mean I'm never going to step in a ring again because let's face it, everyone says 'I'm done, I'm done' and everyone comes back and I'm just not going to be that guy." "What if I do get an itch someday? I don't want to niche myself into saying 'I'm just an actor.' No, I'm me. I'm trying acting and digging it but that doesn't mean I'm going to deny my past."
