Several Injured WWE Stars Return, & More News Inside

WWE.com fixed the date for their upcoming return to Washington D.C. as they will be holding a RAW/HEAT taping on March 12, 2007 at the Verizon Center. When they listed the show, the main schedule page said that the event would be held on March 11th, but the linked page to the event said March 12th, thus causing a bit of confusion. Anyways, tickets go on sale on Saturday, February 10 at 10am. WWE held a RAW taping at the Verizon Center only 30 days ago, so this is obviously a pretty fast return to the Nation's Capital. They'll be coming back again in July for the Great American Bash.

Joey Mercury returned to action at last night's SmackDown taping. However, he'll be wearing a protective mask on his face when he wrestles for an unknown period of time.

Michelle McCool made her return to the road at this past weekend's swing of SmackDown house shows. She teamed up with Jillian Hall to take on Trinity and Kelly Kelly at the two house shows. McCool had been out of action since mid November due to an enlarged kidney and electrolyte imbalance, which hospitalized her for a few days.

WWE developmental talents Shantelle Taylor, George Murdoch, and Ryan Wilson were on the road with Smackdown & ECW over the weekend.
