The following news was derived from Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Mark Henry is telling people backstage that he went to Vince McMahon and said, “Either he goes or I go," in reference to Michael Hayes.

Right now there is a real weird feeling backstage because people in the company can't see how Hayes can be brought back, yet everyone figures that he will be. The McMahon's are said to be very high up on Hayes as he was able to get away with getting drunk and singing at Stephanie and Hunter's wedding.

Despite being suspended, he is still receiving company emails.
