'Taker's Return Already Confirmed, New TNA Signing Details, More

The Undertaker will be working WWE's upcoming Australian tour, replacing the Big Show who is out with a orbital bone injury. WWE is pushing a storyline where Vickie Guerrero is "allowing" Undertaker to bid farewell by wrestling during the Australian tour.

I can confirm today that TNA has signed former WWE developmental diva Shantelle Taylor. TNA had signed her a few months back but had some issues with her visa since she is Canadian. I'm told she'll be involved in the Awesome Kong 'fan' storyline in the coming weeks.

I can also confirm that former ROH and WSX star Matt Sydal is at WWE's tapings this weekend and will apparently now be part of the ECW brand as I noted earlier here on the site. Sydal's been in WWE's developmental system for awhile now. Sydal helped train Floyd Mayweather, Jr. for his WrestleMania match as well. That impressed WWE management and he's being rewarded for it. He's also a very good talent.
