WWE Rumors: Jeff Hardy’s Next Feud

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a new feud on Smackdown may feature Shelton Benjamin against Jeff Hardy.

While this would match up two of the WWE’s best in-ring workers, it would also feature two of the company’s worst on the mic against one another.

Do you think a Shelton Benjamin versus Jeff Hardy feud would work?

WrestleMania 25 Spoiler, Rumored Match

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the long-awaited match between John Cena and Batista may take place at Wrestlemania 25

During a recent a creative meeting, Triple H pitched an idea for Batista to eventually turn heel and build towards a match with Cena at the event.

What do you think of this possibility? We’re all for it, with one exception: We wanna see Cena turn heel!

Will John Cena battle Batista at Wrestlemania 25?


A Racy Issue: Mark Henry as ECW Champion

Did Mark Henry win the ECW title this week because of recent racial statement made by Michael Hayes?

None other than celebrity gossip website TMZ poses this question, claiming that various WWE sources have said that The World’s Strongest Man” would never have been in line for a championship belt if the racial controversy didn’t exist.

Mark Henry

In April, the company suspended writer Michael Hayes for 60 days for telling Henry: “I’m more n***** than you are.” On Sunday, at Night of Champions (one week after Hayes was reinstated) the twelve-year WWE veteran and former Olympian finally got his big moment by winning the company’s ECW world title.

WWE officials did not return TMZ’s phone call on the issue. What’s our take on it?

We almost hope this is true. The alternative would be that writers think Henry’s in-ring work is actually deserving of a title - and that’s even scarier!


Rey Mysterio, Others Displeased with WWE Draft Results

WWE rumors making the rounds, courtesy of prowrestling.net, state that Rey Mysterio was the least happy superstar to shift brands this week.

Mysterio reportedly liked the fact that the SmackDown! brand had more of a Latino demographic. Moreover, WWE officials didn’t inform Rey of his move to RAW until the announcement was made on-air.

Fans can now catch Rey Mysterio on WWE RAW.

Although Batista is not displeased about his shift to WWE RAW, he was also not informed of hit ahead of time.

Triple H appears to be the only wrestler who was told in advance about his brand move. Doesn’t seem like great company policy, in our view.

WWE Rumors: Future of JBL, Umaga

A pair of WWE rumors regarding two major heels:

  • According to a report in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, JBL’s future is unclear. The former WWE champion and announcer is still said to have back problems and hasn’t been able to perform up to his pre-injury status.
  • There’s talk of transitioning Umaga. Many want the character to do his own interviews in order to expand on his presence.

WWE Creative Team High on Lance Cade

According to various sources and WWE rumors, the creative team has big plans for Lance Cade.

They’re having discussions on how to repackage the superstar. Look for him to slowly make his way toward main eventing as a heel, while continuing his partnership with Chris Jericho.

Is Lance Cade the next big heel in the WWE?

Why Triple H was Moved to Smackdown

Of all the moves that took place during this week’s WWE Draft, the most shocking was that of Triple H to Smackdown.

WWE rumors have been circulating, though, that the decision was based on personal reasons.

The schedule on Smackdown is actually a lot more convenient for Triple H, considering that wife Stephanie McMahon-Levesque is due to give birth in about a month. She’ll be taking the babies on the road upon her return to work.

Makes sense to us. We also can’t wait for an Edge vs. Triple H feud!

WWE Rumors, News: Women’s Title, The Undertaker Profile

On the heels of last night’s One Night Stand, here are a couple pieces of WWE news and notes:

  • There has been talk of moving the WWE Women’s Title to either ECW or SmackDown, though no official decision has been made just yet. Vince McMahon feels that both of those brands need something to distinguish them from what WWE Raw offers.
  • WWE has removed the profile of The Undertaker from the SmackDown roster page. Looks like the company is doing the best job it can to sell the notion that he’s truly banished.

WWE Rumors: A Young Heel Stable on the Way

With ratings for WWE RAW and Smackdown floundering, the creative team is looking to shake things up.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, one idea being considered is a heel stable consisting of a group of younger WWE wrestlers. A

For example, some are behind the plan to make a second generation stable featuring Ted DiBiase, Jr., Afa, Jr., DH Smith, Cody Rhodes (who would turn heel), and perhaps Carlito as the mouthpiece for the group.

Other names being tossed around - if they decide against focusing solely on the second generation superstars - include CM Punk and Chris Harris.

What do you think about the idea of a younger, heel stable wreaking havoc on the WWE?
