some news
WWE’s plan has been to hold off on Chris Jericho’s return until Sunday’s Cyber Sunday pay-per-view. However due to the recent decline in ratings the USA Network has asked that WWE save his return for RAW. USA President Bonnie Hammer has made suggestions in the past, but WWE creative has been reluctant to use them.
Prior to Kristal Marshall’s release from WWE last week, there had been many complaints about her work. Marshall is also said to have rubbed many people backstage the wrong way.
WWE.com has confirmed that Survivor Series will be the event that will feature the return of Edge. The official web site has centered the promotional push on the returning superstar.
WWE has just announced that a Divas Halloween Costume Contest will take place next Sunday at Cyber Sunday. Candice, Maria, Mickie James, Melina, Jillian, Lilian Garcia, Victoria, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly and Layla are scheduled to participate in the contest.
For those that have asked, former WWE Champion John Cena is confirmed for the Celebrity Apprentice reality series that will be airing on NBC. (makes me wonder if his injury was as serious as they were claiming) Cena was seen selling hot dogs in new york as part of one of the shows bits.
While details are not immediately available, it appears as if Candice Michelle was injured during her match on tonight’s edition of RAW against Beth Phoenix. The injury occurred as Candice was on the top turnbuckle and landed face first after Phoenix shook the ropes, causing Candice to lose her balance and fall hard to the ring canvas.
The match immediately went to a quick finish as Beth covered Candice for the three count and the win. Following the match the referee threw up the X signal, notifying medical personnel that a real-life injury had occurred. Medical staff rushed to the ring where they tended to Candice. She was able to sit up briefly where they gave her a bottle of water before it was determined that she needed a backboard. Candice was loaded on a stretcher and taken out of the ring. She was rushed to the hospital where she will be evaluated for a possible shoulder injury. WWE.com will have more on Candice's condition Tuesday morning.
PWInsider.com is reporting Candice Michelle was diagnosed with a concussion and a broken collar bone following the scary bump she took on RAW last night in the match with WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix.
In related news, Candice did a similar spot at a WWE RAW event in Ireland last week. Towards the end of the match, Candice was on the top rope and when Beth tried to crotch her, she missed the top turnbuckle and slipped to fall face first on the mat, almost landing on her head and neck. That match saw a quick finish as well with Beth pinning Candice.
WWE.com has posted videos of Candice backstage after the incident. No word yet if she will still be appearing at the Halloween Costume Contest at Cyber Sunday this weekend, but as of this writing she is still listed for the match on WWE.com. |
