- Matt Hardy jammed his already sore knee at the RAW house show on Sunday. Hardy has been working with a brace and is expected to continue working through the injury.
- Victoria jammed her elbow at the RAW house show over the weekend. There was some minor swelling.
- Trish Stratus has been working through some lower back pains as of late.
- WWE switched several matches at the house show in For Myers, FL this past weekend. Val Venis was scheduled to face Tyson Tomko. As Val made his way to the ring to wait for Tomko, WWE management sent out Chuck Palumbo to wrestle him instead. WWE has been doing this recently as a way to have guys better adapt to different wrestling styles. The company has been advising stars to do less “pre-arranged” stuff in the ring as of late.
- The company is very high on the current Diva search. Several people in management have even gone as far as to say that could be the reason for the big ratings jump last week. So in other words, expect to see way more of this in the coming weeks.
- WWE management was said to be surprised by the way the Batista and Chris Jericho angle got over with the crowd on RAW Monday. For those wondering, Jericho was NOT injured and it was all scripted.
- Several people have asked us why Paul Heyman wouldn't be the number one guy for a spot on the creative team after yesterdays report about WWE making changes to it's writing staff. All we can say is that Heyman has not been asked nor interviewed for the job.
