WWE Rumors (Page 2)

A couple of interesting WWE rumors from behind the scenes...

- John Cena has been seen on WWE television with Mickie James a lot over the past several weeks. The reason? A real-life relationship that has developed between the Superstar and WWE Diva. James had been dating Kenny Dykstra, but they are no longer a couple.

- WWE.com is reporting that The Big Show is undergoing an MRI to determine the severity of the injury he suffered at One Night Stand during the 5-man singapore cane match. Show got busted open after his face was rammed into the steel steps outside of the ring. With his eye swollen shut, there is fear the swelling may be caused by a broken bone.

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.

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?

Might Gail Kim soon be included in our gallery of WWE Divas?

According to The Wrestling Observer, WWE has been trying to train Asian females to take the role as the featured Asian WWE Diva in the company, but no one had made significant progress yet.

Moreover, WWE is expected to offer contracts to several of the TNA Knockouts when their agreements with TNA Wrestling end. There has also been internal heat for Gail Kim being released in the first place during large scale talent cuts several years ago.

Do you wanna see Gail Kim have another run in the WWE?

Here's a WWE rumor we'd LOVE to see become a reality:

Look for John Cena and CM Punk to form a heel faction in the near future, consisting of Cena returning to his Rapper Gimmick, and for CM Punk to become ‘MC’ Punk.

This is the exact jolt the WWE needs in its story lines. Will it actually take place? Our best guess is no, simply because these wrestlers combine to sell so much merchandise.

But do you agree it would add a level of excitement throughout the summer?

The WWE Magazine Yearbook 2008 issue that was released this weeks hints at a possible Randy Orton vs. Undertaker feud taking place on Raw in the near future. On Randy Orton's page, it readers:

"With all of the top Raw talent gunning for him, 2008 will be the toughest year of Orton's career. There are even rumors that a certain Deadman would like to come to Raw and inflict some immortal punishment on the self-proclaimed Legend Killer."

Would you wanna see a Randy Orton versus The Undertaker feud?

According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Umaga may be turning babyface in the near future

This explains why WWE gave him a spot last week on Raw to get a pop by attacking "Barack Obama" and "Hillary Clinton." Let us know what you think of this possibility:

Should Umaga turn face?

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE has called Mick Foley and asked him to start on Smackdown as an announcer. We'll post details as they come.

What would you think of Mick Foley as an announcer? Weigh in now on our FORUM.

As all WWE fans know by now, Jeff Hardy is serving a 60-day suspension for his second Wellness Policy violation. In a possible hint toward his return, though, a RAW house show in the Pan American Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico is advertising the following matches June 20:

• John Cena vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship
• DX vs. Umaga & Snitsky
• Chris Jericho vs. Mr. Kennedy for the Intercontinental Championship
• Jeff Hardy vs. Lance Cade

Take this rumor with a grain of salt the size of The Big Show, however. Remember: cards are always subject to change.

According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, sources inside WWE circles say there has been talk of turning CM Punk heel.

However, because his merchandise is selling far better than someone in his position should be selling, many believe that he should be built up higher as a babyface. There has also been talk of Punk switching brands.

We say it's far too early for this sort of switch. What do you think? Would CM Punk make a good heel?
