WWE to drop PPV:

Elimination Chamber is reportedly no more, a backstage leak has Elimination Chamber being replaced with a new event called Fast Lane, or Fast Track. The change is because WWE feel, now there is only one top champion, the Royal Rumble should be the match to make a number one contender, and the chamber match would detract from the importance of the Rumble, even if the champ was in the Chamber match. WWE are said to be looking at moving the event to June, but for the time being at least, it is cancelled.

The Chamber itself will not be done away with however, WWE will bring it to other PPV events when the time calls for them to do so, the idea of having it as a special event, exclusively used at SummerSlam has been raised.

WWE defend policy change:

WWE have responded to challenges from Chyna and Debra in the wake of their new domestic violence clause to their contracts. WWE say they want to reflect the NFL, in cracking down on abuses by their employees, citing cases of their own, such as Chris Benoit, who killed his wife and son, and Stone Cold Steve Austin, whose abuse of his wife Debra, was said to be open knowledge backstage in WWE. WWE feel circumstances like this can no longer be tolerated.

Debra was not impressed, she said of her time in WWE...

"They're not going to rat on the top money-maker in wrestling. And everyone else knew this was going on, but no one's going to stop it, because Steve would make millions of dollars for Vince [McMahon]."

WWE prepare shareholders for disappointment:

WWE say the subscriber count for the Network, is not where they want it to be, the announcement of the figures will be in the middle of next week.

Randy Orton:

WWE have confirmed Randy Orton is hurt, but have played down the severity of the injury.

Chris Jericho on why Chris Benoit will not appear on his new DVD:

"Putting together a couple of my DVDs, and we're working on the second one right now, that's probably a combined total of about fifty matches that are on there between those two DVDs but I could never include a Benoit match. One, I don't think I'm allowed to. Two, I don't know if I'd want to, and that was one of the greatest moments of my career. Absolutely one of my favorite opponents and probably a dozen classic matches that I'd want to put on there, including the ladder match we had at the Royal Rumble in 2001, which I think is one of the best ladder matches of all time, totally forgotten because of Chris and the fact they don't show any of his matches anymore. Also too what was voted the best match in Raw history by a lot of people, Jericho and Benoit vs. Triple H and Austin, so famous for being the night H tore his quad during the match, the crowd going bananas and the first time anybody had vanquished the evil Steve Austin and Triple H. It was a huge night in WWE history, a huge moment in the history of the Tag Team Championships and a huge moment in the history of my career, and I can't ever see that match really. I can't watch that match. I think I've watched it once and it's good, it's a great classic five star match, but it's always tainted when I see Chris Benoit…"

I'm Ready to come back:

Carlito says he does not need the job, or the money, but if WWE came calling he is now ready to accept a return to the promotion.

Hell In A Cell (Possible SPOILER!!!):

Tonight is Hell In A Cell, and interestingly, WWE have decided to fly Ryback into the show, may be something, may nothing, we will have to wait and see.
