Shane McMahon Confirmed For RAW This Week, Phoenix Issues?, More

On Wednesday, WWE.com put up a photo shoot of Beth Phoenix in a neon green wrestling outfit holding up Joker playing cards. The photo shoot was called "The Joker." Anyway, the shoot was strangely pulled a short while later, and it hasn't been posted back. Only speculating, but she was smiling in some of the photos, a sharp contrast to her ultra-serious wrestling character.

Shane McMahon will be appearing live and in person on Raw this Monday night in Washington D.C. According to WWE.com's preview for Raw on Monday, McMahon may be naming a new General Manager for the brand. Here is what they wrote: "In recent weeks the McMahons have implored the WWE Universe to cease the civil unrest that resulted from the absence of the injured WWE Chairman, Mr. McMahon. Will Shane name a new General Manager when he appears on Raw this Monday?" You can read the preview in its entirety at WWE.com, which consists of vague information. They don't have anything else officially scheduled for Monday's Raw at this point. On another note, Stephanie McMahon will obviously be unable to appear on Raw due to her pregnancy, as she's due any day now.

WWE.com has posted some close-up photos of the brand new silver ECW Championship belt.
