- There continues to be a lot of talk about an Undertaker vs. Edge main event at next year’s WrestleMania in Orlando, Florida. The idea behind it is that like Undertaker, Edge has never lost at WrestleMania (besides last year’s Money in the Bank ladder match) and that it would be a good idea to pair the two off against each other. The program was even being talked about before Edge was transferred to SmackDown so if both are healthy it is a good possibility that it will happen.

- Another match being talked about for WrestleMania is John Cena vs. Batista just because it hasn’t been done before. However, with them being on different brands the match is a little more of an obstacle than Undertaker vs. Edge.

- Former ECW/WCW/WWE superstar Lance Storm recently wrote an article on TheFightNetwork.com talking about the recent suspensions in WWE. Storm says that WWE will finally punish those that use drugs and push the performers that do not. He says that fans should support the product now more than ever to send a clear message to WWE that this is what they want to see. He also gives away a television spoiler, so beware before reading.

-- A WWE source said that "several names" identified by the media as being customers of Signature Pharmacy were inaccurate; these few allegedly did not have a link to the online pharmacy. As a report stated earlier, Batista is among those who claim to have been incorrectly linked to the alleged steroid distributor.

While the errantly named wrestlers are upset about the media coverage, WWE is opting not to allow them to address the media for fear of a backlash similar to that it faced during the fallout of the Benoit tragedy.

-- The return of Shawn Michaels is apparently not imminent. Michaels was contacted about returning soon, but the word going around is that he is not planning to come back ahead of schedule.

-- Sources say that WWE continues to have interest in a Chris Jericho return. It is unclear how close the two parties are to striking a deal.

-- Happenings at the WWE RAW tapings hinted at the identities of several suspended wrestlers. The spoilers were withheld from this report, but they are available on the website.

PWTorch.com reports that Eugene's WWE release was indeed related to the Wellness Policy.

The Torch says that Eugene reportedly tested positive for a prescription drug that is banned without proper medical documentation. WWE apparently had a difficult time obtaining confirmation that the prescription was valid and ultimately decided to rule the test a failure.

That was apparently the third strike for Eugene, so his release was inevitable.

It should be noted that neither WWE nor Dinsmore has commented on the release, so the aforementioned story should not be taken as officially confirmed.

Update: While PWInsider.com also says the release was related to the Wellness Policy, its story is that Eugene's behavior at this weekend's TV taping was considered alarming enough to warrant a release.

It is presently unclear whose story is correct.

Thanks for the info. Have they forgotten that the winner of the Royal Ruble will get a title shot a Mania? So they could make the Batista/Cena match happen

Batista and Cena will square off but it won't be for the title. That fued doesn't need a title and both men would be well served to spend a Mania away from a title.

Co-Mainevents
1. Edge vs Taker: WHC
2. Orton vs HHH: WWE title
3. Cena vs Batista

Thats one hell of an upper card right there that will draw regardless of what else is on the card.

Regarding Eugene. Usually when they release a character, they will use the real name. Could this be just a way to get rid of Eugene for a while to pave the way for a redebut by Nick Dinsmore?

I wanted to see Kennedy Vs John Cena, but with Kennedy pulling the carpet from under himself it looks unlikely.

^^^Kennedy will get his shot, just not this soon. He will probably win the MITB again.

^^And probably lose if he cocks up again.

I agree with CenaMark. Cena/Batista doesn't need to have a title to fued it (kiddies around the world will be torn as to who to vote for! lol) It'll allow Edge/Taker and Orton to get the title finally and just make it better against Trips.

I agree with all of that, except HHH would win the title off Orton, not the other way around.

I said this last night. It seems strange that only his TV name was used. We may be reading too much into it, but there is a real possibility that he is being repackaged and WWE are hoping fans won't remember him using the Eugene gimmick ...


As for the WM24 possbilities: that could be one hell of a card. Undertaker/Edge is a dream match of mine. Triple H / Orton will be great and has history. Cena/Batista is the single biggest match that could take place in WWE right now (drawing-wise). Mania would be huge if those three matches were booked.
 

Great One

Yeah... I would love for that to be part of the main card, not to mention the ECW title match, Flair's last match, Rey, Lashley, Kenndy, MVP, Hardys, Carlito, Morrison, Umaga, etc.

I like that card Luke but Hogan, wrestling. I don't see it happening.

Also, there ain't no grudge match. Each is for a title or has a stipulation. Might be an over-gimmicked PPV. Hopefully WM24 can rival WM17 in being the best PPV ever.

CenaMark: I agree with you, Trips should be babyface and beat the heel, Orton.

I think its gonna be Mr.Kennedy vs Triple H along with Cena/Batista, with Edge/Undertaker. and mitb ladder match.
Orton can sit on the sidelines and attempt to learn more moves then just a head lock.

The Triple-main Event will be good with those mentioned above. Regarding Orton, they should put him in the main event spot because he is the best heel in WWE right now by far, so you can't have WM24 without him!
