Rosey wrestled under his real name Matt Anoa’i in dark matches at Raw and SmackDown this week. He lost to former Spirit Squad member Johnny Jeter in both matches. Anoa’i has dropped a lot of weight. At last word, there was a good chance of him being re-signed. WWE released him from his contract on March 21, 2006.
Lacey Von Erich, daughter of Kerry Von Erich, recently signed a developmental deal with WWE. She reported to Florida Championship Wrestling in Tampa just last week. She posted up a blog on her MySpace page talking about her wrestling experience thus far: Lets bring old scool back to WWE. I was signed by WWE and so far my wrestling experience has been amazing, I really feel like I was born for it…. BUT all they want the girls to do is dress like trashy and pull hair… I would rather wrestle like daddy and do back flips off the ropes! I feel like a lot of the girls have talent but we can’t show it as much… So if I don’t represent the Von Erich family like I should its not my fault…. I will do MY BEST to bring back how it was… Love everyone who supports our family!!!
On Raw, a graphic for the Divas Battle Royal at SummerSlam showed Maryse Ouellet on it. They showed the graphic again on last night’s ECW show, and she was removed from it. The battle royal would have been her first match in WWE. Other divas scheduled to compete in the battle royal include Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Melina, Maria, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool, Victoria, Kristal, Cherry (her first WWE match), and Extreme Expose. The winner of the match will get an opportunity to challenge Candice Michelle for the Women’s Championship on a future date.
