Kill the lights and bash the gong — the Undertaker is back! The Dead Man returned to WWE last night on the 900th episode of USA Network’s “SmackDown” — and he came with a threat. But first, he commended his conquered “WrestleMania 32” opponent Shane McMahon as, “the man who has no fear.” That’s pretty high praise, considering the source.

Kill the lights and strike the bells — the Undertaker is returning to the WWE. At least, that’s according to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., which tweeted out the news on Wednesday. The Dead Man will apparently come back on November 15, which marks the 900th episode of WWE’s USA Network series, “SmackDown Live” (formerly just “SmackDown”). That’s a mere five days before pay-per-view “Survivor Series,” one of the pro wrestling promotion’s Big 4 annual events.

Just a short while ago Ryback was looking like yet another can’t-miss prospect that WWE totally found a way to miss on. After exploding out of the gate with squash matches over local jobbers and being inserted into the main event rather quickly, his push was neutered and he was shunted back down the card, eventually becoming mired in a tag team with Curtis Axel. His run as a Paul Heyman guy was a failure and before long an injury put the former Skip Sheffield out of action for months.
When Ryback made his triumphant return to WWE the fans were quick to jump back on his bandwagon, and he was immediately made into a featured player in the Survivor Series main event storyline. The hunger for new stars has the fans accepting of The Big Guy and the “Goldberg” chants have almost completely been replaced by...

Ryback is currently on the shelf. We knew he was taking time off a few days ago, but we didn’t know what was wrong. Thanks to a video that he shot from a hospital bed with him in cap & gown, we found out that he had surgery. According to Ryback, he had surgery to repair strained groin injuries as well as two sports hernias. He mentioned that he’s been dealing with these injuries for the past seven months.
His video is unique because his current gimmick as “The Big Guy” likes to embellish things. We’ve documented about his Twitter antics in the past where he likes to troll fans with silly comments only to delete them soon after.
In this video, Ryback claims he’s a four time WWE Champion (he’s actually never been WWE Champion), he explains his love for mothers, talks about...

Speculation on The Miz’s involvement at WWE WrestleMania 28 is growing and there is now rumours from within the WWE that he may get involved in The Rock vs. John Cena main event in some capacity.
Even before last night’s Raw, reports were that The Miz, who successfully retained the WWE title against John Cena in the main event of last year’s show, would somehow have a huge storyline for this year’s event this late in the game.
Rumours are that the WWE’s recent losing streak storyline is not to punish The Miz but to build-up a huge angle they are planning for him post-WrestleMania.
On last night’s Raw, The Miz lost his opportunity to join Team Lauriniatis when he was defeated by Cm Punk.
Personally, I’m not sure how much I buy the report as I’m certain WWE won’t do anything...

The Miz’s current losing streak is mainly down to the fact WWE’s top officials are blaming him as the fall guy for the poor WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view buy-rate back in November. The main event of the show was The Rock & John Cena vs. The Miz & R-Truth.
The Miz has not won a televised singles match since the December 5th edition of Raw and his stock has been lowered in storylines in recent weeks. At one point The Miz was to get a big push and come back into the WWE Title picture around the WWE Royal Rumble time (there was talk of The Miz vs. Cm Punk for the title, but the slot eventually went to Dolph Ziggler) but the Survivor Series numbers killed any chances of that.
November’s Survivor Series was estimated to have garnered 260,000 buys worldwide, with 160,000 coming from the Us. Those numbers were...

Before R-Truth’s and Evan Bourne’s recent respective 30 day suspensions for both violating the WWE Wellness policy, the plan was for The Miz and R-Truth to win the WWE Tag Team Titles from Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston after the Survivor Series PPV.
The plan has now obviously changed and it’s now expected that The Miz will head back into the frame for the WWE Title almost imminently. As I mentioned yesterday, there’s a huge expectation that he will face John Cena in a number 1 contendership match at the TLC PPV and then go on to face Cm Punk at the Royal Rumble. Though, with John Cena not needing to be in the Royal Rumble (as he already has his Wrestlemania match booked) don’t be surprised if it becomes a Miz vs. Punk vs. Cena three-way. Though plans in the WWE change all the time.

PWInsider reports that Zack Ryder has some heat with people in the WWE because he dyed his hair blonde without permission, apparently upsetting officials because his high-selling merchandise shows him with dark hair.
This could explain as to why Ryder lost the U.S. Title shot against Dolph Ziggler at the Survivor Series and was replaced by a departing John Morrison and also why he was jobbed out within seconds on Raw against Alberto Del Rio.
Hopefully this won’t stop plans to give Ryder the U.S. Title before the end of the year, probably in a match with Dolph Ziggler at the TLC PPV. Ryder is so over right now a U.S. title run seems to be demanded and Ziggler needs to start being elevated upwards to main event status.
A good indicator that Ryder’s push won’t be halted and his punishment has only lasted...

Can you smell what The Rock is hunting? According to reports, he.ll be hunting monsters very soon. The action superstar has attached his name to an adaptation of John Paul Russ.s comic-book short story The Monster Hunter.s Survival Guide, according to Deadline. The books, published in 2010, offer readers a .comprehensive guide. to eliminating Bigfoot, vampires, the Loch Ness Monster, werewolves and more. Director Simon Kinberg will produce the film through his Genre Films shingle. Coming out of a movie theater in Times Square recently, I came face to face with a skyscraper-sized advertisement heralding Wrestlemania 28, which apparently pits The Rock versus John Cena in a Survivor Series match. Isn.t this the same Rock who claimed earlier that that he was putting .The Rock. in mothballs so he could build up his Dwyne Johnson brand? Well, there goes that idea. Rock has re-envisioned his hard-hitting action career...

John Cena will partner with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Sunday for the "Survivor Series," live on pay-per-view from a sold-out Madison Square Garden.
The event will mark the return of The Rock to the ring for the first time in nearly seven years. Arguably two of the biggest names in WWE history, they'll team up to take on the tag team of The Miz (Mike Mizanin from "Real World" fame) and R-Truth. In the holiday issue of WWE Magazine,...

Normal 0 false false false En-us Ja X-none This week's Raw was three hours long, and if you're a regular viewer, you know exactly what that means: about the same amount of wrestling as a regular week stretched and padded out with more promotional pay-per-view packages and recaps than you can shake a steel chair at. But last night's Raw had the potential to be something much bigger, as it was not only the go-home show for this weekend's Survivor Series, but also featured a much-hyped appearance by The Rock.
Find out what I thought about the show as I collect all the good, bad and downright ugly moments from this week's Monday Night Raw. Think I'm right-on about something?

The build up for Wrestlemania 28 truly steps up another gear as tonight’s WWE Raw SuperShow from Boston is a 3-hour special dubbed “Raw Gets Rocked” showcasing the return of The Rock.
To hype the event, John Cena appeared on the Toucher & Rich morning radio show on Boston’s 98.5 station and said not only would The Rock be appearing tonight but he would also be wrestling in his first match, although one that won’t be televised.
Cena said it will be The Rock & him teaming up with Zack Ryder to take on World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry, The Miz & R-Truth in a dark match main event. This would officially be The Rock’s first match back in the WWE since Wrestlemania Xx some eight and a half years ago in 2004.

Current WWE Tag Team Champion Evan Bourne has been suspended for 30 days effective immediately for a first violation of the WWE’s Talent Wellness Program. He was called to a meeting with WWE officials on Monday night at the Raw SuperShow in Atlanta, Georgia after failing a Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy violation which corporate.wee.com states “prohibits the use of drugs by talent for other than a legitimate medical purpose pursuant to a valid prescription from a licensed and treating physician.”
Although it’s unknown whether it’s related to this case, there’s a thought that the flurry of recent WWE suspensions of the Talent Wellness Program is because of a cracking down on synthetic cannabis which was only added to the list of banned substances in June. Darren Young and Heath Slater were also suspended in the last month.

As announced during Monday Night Raw and on the WWE.com website, Kevin Nash has been re-signed to a WWE contract. The Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis re-signed Nash at the request of COO Triple H and Nash will appear on Raw next week, which comes from Liverpool, UK.
So it’s looking almost set in stone that Triple H vs Kevin Nash will be a match soon to be added to the WWE Survivor Series PPV at the end of the month in Madison Square Garden.
Speaking of which, on Raw last night The Rock accepted John Cena’s invitation to team with him in a tag match at the Survivor Series against The Miz and R-Truth. He cut an extremely long promo via tape delayed satellite that felt like it went on forever but The Rock made it work and...

WWE is advertising via a press release that The Rock will be returning for the three hour Monday Night Raw Show in Boston on November 14th at the Td Garden. The show is just one week before the Survivor Series PPV at Madison Square Garden where The Rock has already been officially announced as making his in-ring return as part of a traditional 5 on 5 elimination match where he will team with John Cena.
John Cena hails from Boston and the Raw show will house their first encounter since facing off the day after Wrestlemania and if The Rock ends up more over than Cena in his hometown it will make for some intriguing television. Their match at the Survivor Series will be their first before they headline Wrestlemania 28 in Miami, Florida next year.
Other combatants expected in the Survivor Series match are expected to line up something like this;

World Wrestling Entertainment stock took a major hit last week. Although Wwe certainly isn’t the only publicly traded company to suffer in these tough economic times, their television ratings are down and the general interest in their product seems to be waning. They banked on John Cena’s return to sell the Survivor Series, but apparently they still felt they needed to do something extra to generate a buzz heading into their big fall pay-per-view.
