More On Rey Mysterio's WWE Status, Karen Angle's Talk Show, & More

As noted last week here on the site, Rey Mysterio missed this past week's edition of Raw because he hasn't fully recovered from his torn biceps injury a few months ago, which got infected and required more surgeries after the original. However, they didn't want to hold off his debut of being a new star on Raw, so he shot an angle with Santino Marella last week and worked an easy match on Monday in which he wasn't required to do much. Mysterio should be back full-time in a few weeks.

Mysterio was also nominated for the American Latino TV awards in the "Favorite Extreme Athlete" category — the only sports category. He has a good shot of winning, as the other nominees are the Austin, Texas Rollergirls, skydiver Jonathan Tagle and martial arts fighter Jennifer Santiago. The winner is being selected via online voting. The awards show is being syndicated in various markets starting today.

Karen Angle's talk show will be a backstage sit-down format and will be pre-taped. It is scheduled to begin next week.
