Believe it or not, John Cena was medically cleared in time for the 1/7 RAW show at the Mohegan Sun Casino, but it was kept a secret. The original plan was for Cena to announce he would return at the Royal Rumble, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. As we reported, Cena was at the building that evening, but left before the show started. Vince McMahon and Brian Gewirtz wanted Cena on television at the time, but Stephanie McMahon and Bruce Prichard argued for the surprise return. Vince eventually changed his mind and opted for the Royal Rumble surprise.
Richard Hokit sent this one along a little late: I have DirectTV where I am currently residing and we had some audio dropouts as well. Not that many but during Cena’s promos every about 4 minutes there was an audio drop out but only on one word though. Then the same thing happened with the “Son of a Bitch” that someone said earlier on in a sent message. I believe it was during the Carlito/Cody Rhodes match but I thought it was Hardcore Holly or a fan that said it though I couldn’t exactly tell. I haven’t had the chance to re-watch the show as of yet. Just thought I would drop that along.
Colin Vassallo sent this update: Playboy model and 2007 Diva Search contestant Taryn Terrell has signed a developmental deal with WWE and will be moving to Tampa soon to join FCW. Terrell was the fifth contestant booted off the competition last year which was won by Eve Torres. The 23 year old has a long history with Playboy and appeared fully no in several spreads on their website as well as on the magazine.
