The Hardy Incident, Edge Return Storyline Plans, New Orton Stable?, More

? All that is known as far as what Jeff Hardy was doing the night before his airport incident in Nashville was that he, Matt Hardy and Jeff's girlfriend Beth were at a Japanese restaurant until the wee hours of the morning. While the incident was the big talk at the WWE offices the next day, nobody had a straight story on what happened and even the creative team was kept in the dark.

? As noted earlier, Edge is expected to be returning within the next few weeks. The idea originally was to have him stay gone long enough to sell the ending of the Hell in a Cell match with The Undertaker at SummerSlam but they wanted The Undertaker to be fully established in a new program before bringing him back. Edge was banged up but there was no serious injury that has kept him out this time. The storyline is that Vickie Guerrero is going to lead Big Show to the WWE Title, which looks like a Triple H vs. Show feud coming up. No word yet where Edge will fit in with everything, but it's possible he could screw Hardy or Triple H the match at No Mercy and work with whoever he costs the match.

? WWE has decided to slow down the pace of its storylines, mostly because things have been complained about to much. The storyline with Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels is one example.

? The storyline with the third generation Superstars was supposed to see Randy Orton as the leader of the group with Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes and Manu within two or three weeks of the original tease but WWE has slowed down the angle with the idea it will be more effective that way.
