Big Saturday News Update: Maria, More On Diva Fight, Bret Hart, Coach, More

- As expected, Wrestlemania 22 is sold out. WWE is claiming tickets sold out in two minutes.

- Raw interviewer Maria Kanellis is appearing at the Travis, CA Air Force Base on Sunday afternoon.

- As noted earlier, Melina Perez "did a Matt Hardy" and ranted all over her message board at www.ringbabe.net yesterday about how she and fellow OVW grad Mickie James (Alexis Laree) have a mutual dislike for each other. This could get her in trouble with WWE or it could be the start of a storyline. Right now it seems legit but if they face each other at Survivor Series you'll know it is a work.
