All three of these items come from today's audio update on PWInsider... {Spoiler}WWE are very concerned with Rey Mysterio's knee injury - they believe he needs surgery very soon, and the surgery will keep him out of action for six months, once again ruling him out of WrestleMania. Mysterio had previously missed WrestleMania 23 and 24 through injury. There are fears that Mysterio's combined injuries will lead to retirement sooner rather than later. {Spoiler}Tonight's segment on SmackDown featuring Mickie James was designed to send a message to her that she should put wrestling first. WWE aren't happy that Mickie is going outside of the company for her country music career, and believe she's heading down the same path as the likes of The Rock and Stacy Keibler, who let their outside endeavours overtake their WWE commitments. The segment was also designed to send a message about her weight. {Spoiler}WWE are planning to book The Undertaker vs. Batista for the World Title at the Royal Rumble, with Batista going over and taking the title to WrestleMania. They have also somewhat demoted CM Punk, though more with the aim of helping put over R-Truth and getting him closer to the main event. |

Publicly going after an employee & "sending a message" is simply classless & unprofessional. It's shit like this that makes people bitter and makes higher-ups look completely childish.

If Batista must win the title:
My dream: Batista wins the title and is dethroned by Morrison at Wrestlmania
What will happen: Batista wins the title and is dethroned by Taker

Oh, Bat Is Tame with the World title. Guess I'll continue to not watch SmackDown.
Who the hell is there for him to even face at Mania? Only possibilities on SmackDown at the moment are Taker and Morrison.

R-Truth in the main event? He couldn't beat Shelton. Hell he couldn't beat Drew McIntyre. Now he can beat Punk?

Hey, none of this is confirmed to be true, and if anything, it could just be a storyline and nothing else. I honestly think it's unfathomable that they'd even consider going after one of their own employees because of their weight. I rarely do this, but I'm calling newz on that. |

Cena drops the strap to Trips or Shawn and wins the Rumble, giving RAW Trips v. Shawn and Smackdown Cena v. Bats (which they have been trying to do for two years).

I had heard Taker vs. Cena for Mania. I've predicted Cena/Taker and HHH/Shawn for a while now, and still can see how they'd go that way for Wrestlemania. As for Batista, I don't know. If he wins the title and goes to Wrestlemania as champion; there's really nobody left to beat him. |

Yeah, because the WWE has never publicly gone after somebody before... |

I'm just saying that the whole "Mickie James is fat!" thing is blown so much out of proportion here that the moment some 'news' piece on her being held back because her weight comes out, people are quick to jump all over it without even looking for confirmation. |

A lot of people were thinking possibly McMahon/Taker for Mania (which I'd not like to see as I think anyone else could benefit from being in the spot more). Its a struggle for me because I'd like to see Jericho/Taker again, but the possibility of Jerishow vs. E&C really sounds good. |

Of the options on the table for Taker at Mania, I'd most like to see Vince / Taker myself.

Nobody said she was being held back. She's in the top Diva feud on SmackDown!. The confirmation is in the segment actually happening. If they didn't want to come across as sending a message, they wouldn't do a segment like that. No point to it. There are a ton of other ways to get heat. There are a ton of other ways to build a match. Yet they chose this route, one that publicly & personally goes after somebody. |

Both men are getting up there, and with TV-PG, Vince can't even blade anymore. Punk/Vince vs. Undertaker/Kane could be an interesting match if they keep the conspiracy angle. |

Publicly going after an employee & "sending a message" is simply classless & unprofessional. It's s*** like this that makes people bitter and makes higher-ups look completely childish. Plus it almost always backfires. She's more likely to say "I seriously don't need this crap" and leave the company on really bitter terms than to centralize her commitment to it. Why would anyone want to commit to a company that makes it clear that you are not what they want in a female employee? If an employee screws up, punish them by fining them, taking them off tv, whatever. Don't punish us by running lame revenge angles on TV that bore everyone who isn't an office stooge. |
