It was reported Saturday that some familiar faces could be returning to WWE in the coming months as there has been a push from several top talents for the organization to bring back some "solid hand" wrestlers that were previously released. Two specific names in mind are MVP and Shelton Benjamin as organization officials have discussed bringing the former Superstars back to the fold.

Since being released from WWE in April 2010 in a cost-cutting measure, Benjamin has kept busy in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. MVP also competes in New Japan, where he teams with Benjamin under the tag team name "Black Dynamite."

Pmsl at there team name.

WWE officials are still planning on doing Ryback vs. CM Punk for the WWE Title. In an update, that match is currently scheduled for the January 14th RAW from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. WWE will be celebrating RAW's 20 anniversary that night so they are giving Ryback vs. Punk a big stage.

I guess this will be Rybacks last time as a main eventer and will go back to beating up 10 stone weaklings

The Rock is being advertised for WWE's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in February. Word going around WWE is that he will indeed be wrestling on that show, most likely in one of the Chamber matches. This would be The Rock's first-ever Chamber match.

I saw that picture, they also spoke about that on CM Punnks DVD

WWE officials have began penciling in final plans for WrestleMania 29. It's said they have ideas in mind for all the top names such as CM Punk, John Cena, The Rock, The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar.

- CM Punk was pulled from the Holiday RAW shows because officials felt like he wouldn't be ready by then, despite how he feels. Now they feel that Punk won't be back in the ring until the January 14th RAW. That could change but if he is out that long it may stop the planned match against Ryback from happening because they will need to begin hyping his Royal Rumble match with The Rock. This is not how Punk wanted things to go down but WWE officials want to get him healthy and keep him healthy.

I think Punk was in this gear for the WWE13 trailer but i aint sure as i aint seen the trailer haha

What did you all think of the PPV last night then?

The Shield vs Team Hell No/Ryback was easily the match of the night. However i wasn't expecting AJ to turn on cena.

For me that match is the match of the year, i was only interested in the 6 man tag as i watch Rollins, Ambrose and Reigns on NXT everyweek and even seen some indy stuff from Ambrose n Rollins and these 2 will be a massive part of the future of the WWE.

I never would have fought AJ would turn heel either, i dont understand why del rio as turned face either *confused smiley*

I would have also put Cena v Dolph as the 2nd last match and have the winner cash in the MITB on the same night. So if Cena won he would cash in on Big Show and if Dolph won he would cash in on Sheamus.

I can't see Dolph ever cashing in the MITB briefcase on the Show as he kicked Sheamus butt in an hardcore match, so how in the hell is someone gunna hurt Show enough for Dolph to chas in the briefcase?

Another thing I observed at TLC.

Shield vs Team Hell No & Ryback basically told you the story of how the guys being featured in it will be used in the future. I'll explain:

Talking about Shield first:

Dean - Got most on-screen space during the match than anyone else. It would basically mean that Dean is in high expectation to be put as something big and in near future, one of the top guys.

Rollins - Got the OMG moment of the match when he dropped from the ladder. I believe he is going to posed as a risk taking face in near future. He can be a great face.

Reigns - He got the pin. Well, although he is the least ready of the group, but WWE is trying to sell him as the silent big guy who gets the job done. On the lines of Batista when he debuted? Idk, I leave that on you to figure out.

Now, Team Hell No:

Ryback: He was a destructive force and face or heel, he is going to stay that way. A big guy with lot of strength. If used properly, he can be the next Goldberg, and if used poorly, next Snitsky.

Daniel: Only one from the group who intrigues me. He is clearly been shown as a fighter and a really good one, but someone who is not being able to win it. (him being pinned does show that). In near future I do see him as a face.. but clearly, WWE is not investing much in his character.

Or maybe WWE wants to make him look weak and responsible for losses so that when they fall out, they have a reason to do so. Also, maybe after Team Hell No is done with, he will finally start winning.

Kane: He was a supporting character. He is a veteran now and doing his best to push other guys.


Ive got to say i agree with what the guy posted on this Facebook page

Mod can we please change the name of this thread!
