WWE released a short statement as the story broke...

"Mr. Swagger is responsible for his own personal actions."

Speculation he would lose his match vs Alberto Del Rio at Mania, has, as today has gone on turned to talk on whether he has a WWE future at all, The media are already all over WWE for the character, (although that is heat they can use to further the story) so this could not have come at a worse time for him, Some are calling on WWE chiefs to axe the story and Swagger, and his manager Zeb Coulter to be done with it.

A wrestling journalist contacted WWE regarding his status and was quoted a passage from WWE's wellness policy, which states that if a Superstar is caught in possession of drugs, During, Prior or immediately after a WWE event, they can be fired right away, independent of the usual 3 strikes rule imposed on Superstars.

In what is probably a bad sign for Jack, WWE have today confirmed they are considering ''Booking changes'' following the incident.

Jack Swagger will appear in court on March 12.

Scott Hall on DDP:

"It came to my attention a day and a half or so ago when I was in Florida that there was an unflattering recording of a phone call of me talking to Dallas and Jake that I have no memory of, and apparently I was very intoxicated at the time, Dallas and I were talking on the phone and he offered to pull it down... and I said, yeah, yeah, pull it down. Having arrived here in Atlanta now and after seeing it, I just want to say that I don't recommend that kind of behavior, I'm not endorsing it. It's been my story, I'm Scott Hall and I approve these message."

El Generico:

WWE have told El Generico he can keep his TradeMark Mask and Cape, he was worried he would have to drop his character, he may still be renamed, because WWE like to own the rights to their talents ring name.

Sunny apology:

After being blackballed by WWE following a controversial Shoot, and constant Rehab fails, Sunny has written an apology to the company, acknowledging that she took her own failings out on the company that were trying to help her, she also said she was not in a fit state, because she was not taking her prescribed medication on the day of the interview.

Hogan attacks Bret:

He blames Bret Hart for diminishing pay for Wrestling's top talent, because he was willing to stay on smaller pay, even when he was at the top...

"The main-event guy made the most money when he had the belt. When I was the (WWF) champion, I made the most money. It was an old rule that Vince (McMahon) Sr. had that, thank god, was passed on for quite a while. That changed when Bret Hart became champion; he'd work for a lot less than anybody else, so it changed everybody's pay."

He also implied Bret is two faced...

"The last time I saw [Bret], he was flying around in my Learjet with me, and playing with my kids in the pool. Then, all of a sudden, we're not cool."

Hall Of Fame:

Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected to be the man to induct Bruno Sammartino into the Hall Of Fame, he and Bruno have been friends for 40+ years.

The celebrity inductee is going to be Donald Trump, they were going to confirm this past week, but for some reason they pulled the announcement, Cyndi Lauper is now being considered, maybe Mr. Trump has changed his mind. They are also still hopeful of getting Mr. T.

Inductees will be paid $5000, and their inductors will get $2,500.

Creative issues:

Top stars are said to be going over creative, and pitching their own ideas straight to Vince McMahon, creative is said to be stuck in a rut, with Politics and infighting causing a lack of focus, the split of Team Rhodes Scholars was used as an example, The Rock, John Cena and CM Punk are some of the names bypassing the writers.

Vince McMahon has also demanded no more Punk vs Cena matches after he heard about another match coming up between the two, so if you like seeing them against each other, enjoying Raw next week is a must, as it may be the last for a while.

In a possible win for creative however, Ryback is expected to be turned heel post Mania for a run vs John Cena for the WWE Title.

Raw SPOILERS!!!:

Vince McMahon vs Paul Heyman this week is to build up the Lesnar / HHH feud, all will be at the show, so expect run ins.

The Undertaker is expected to be there too, where he will likely interfere in the Punk vs Cena match, costing Punk his title shot, leading to the match between the two at Mania.
