According to someone very close to the situation (not Jericho, who isn’t going to tell anyone what he’s going to do until he does it, that’s just how it’s going to be), Jericho is said to be strongly considering coming back on a limited basis. What he would be looking for, it is said is a part-time contract that would allow him to do the other outside projects he want to do.

SmackDown Superstar William Regal, who has been announcing and wrestling on NXT as of late, says he wants a World Heavyweight Title shot when WWE returns to Liverpool, England later this year. He wrote on Thursday:
"Trying to think if Teddy Long owes me a favour.I need to get a World Championship match on Smackdown on Liverpool. Maybe the last chance I have of becoming the first English World Champion in front of WWE's loyalist fans.
Some people are saying I'm passed it.Maybe so but @wwe,look at it as charity.Give an old rogue a chance."
Regal later re-tweeted a ton of feedback from fans supporting him getting a title shot and wrote:
"I normally never retweet about wrestling,WWE or me(I don't need to because I'm so over anyway)so sorry to everyone who it's driving mental. I just want @wwe to take notice.Give back to your loyalest fans(and purely selfish reasons as I want to be the first British World champ)."
At a live last November in the UK, Regal announced to the crowd that would be his last tour because he is retiring soon. Regal will apparently be sticking around long enough for this year's tour, probably longer. Regal is under contract to WWE until 2014 and in addition to his recent work on NXT, he has worked as an announcer in FCW.

Apparently the WWE is going to do another Original Character vs. Imposter Character with Sin Cara..  will be interesting to see how this plays out, especially since the Original Sin Cara isn't liked by many in the wwe. |

Moviefone's Eric Larnick is featuring an interview with WWE's Triple H where he talks about comparisons between WWE and UFC and why he feels UFC needs to be the one to evolve.
"I don't think we have to evolve. It's two totally different things. I think now especially there's this thing like, "oh it's very similar."
I don't see us needing to evolve to what UFC does because quite frankly sometimes the fights are long and boring, guys lying around and sometimes the fights are fast and over in five seconds. I've always' thought one of the things about us, if you look at us solely from a sports standpoint, is that we always give you a good show. We're never going to give you a crap game.
I think if anybody needs to evolve, it's them. Give more of an entertainment standpoint. Give more form; they just have fighters who walk in in T-shirts and shorts and just stand there and then they fight and then they win and then they go "thanks, I'd like to thank my sponsors" and then they leave. The whole world was up in arms when Brock was flipping people off and was cussing at the beer company because they didn't give him any money and everyone thought, "oh my god, he's disrespectful," -- the whole world was talking about it. They couldn't wait to see him get beat up. And then he did well, and he beat some guys and then people jump on his bandwagon going "Brock's the greatest." I'm good friends with Floyd Mayweather and Floyd would be the first to tell ya, "I make the most money in boxing and I have the biggest buyers because I have the biggest mouth." He'd be the first guy to tell you that. That's what it's about. Sports is entertainment."
CM Punk issued the following response on Twitter to HHH's remarks:
"RIDICULOUS!!!!! Laugh out loud ignorance."

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE has taken out $200 million line of credit with JP Morgan Chase Bank. WWE said they would be doing this because interest rates are low right now and it would be used to help finance the new television network which is set to launch sometime in 2012. Vince McMahon stated earlier this year that the company would be willing to go into debt spending, which is something they have avoided doing in past years for any project.

WrestleZone has learned, according to several sources within WWE, that Vince McMahon is expected to return to TV in the very near future, possibly as soon as Sunday or Monday night.
As we have been reporting, WWE wants this year's Survivor Series PPV to be a major event, and with The Rock having indicated on Twitter that he will be teaming with John Cena at the event, WZ has now learned that Vince will be returning to TV to build towards the big PPV.
We will keep you updated on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Use this opportunity to turn Cena heel, have him turn on the Rock and cost his cost his team the match(well attempt to because they won't have the Rock to lose in his first match back) as a way for Cena to get him back for costing him the Championship at Mania, but the 'E won't do it
