New International TNA Knockout?, Christian/WWE/TNA, Backstage News

? There is talk of bringing in an international star, possibly from Japan, to face Awesome Kong for the Knockouts Title at the Final Resolution pay-per-view. Kong worked the early part of her career in Japan so they will likely bring in someone from there.

? TNA had to edit iMPACT before the Turning Point pay-per-view where Mick Foley did a promo and called the TNA World Title the NWA Title. The crowd in the iMPACT Zone corrected Foley in unison.

? Sources report that TNA officials, at last word, still don't know which way Christian Cage is going. The feeling is that the angle they have shot with him getting beat down covers them either way. If he doesn't sign a new deal, the angle wrote him off. If he does resign, the angle will allow him to come back and be on the babyface team as one of the leaders. Christian's name has came up in WWE meetings and he has been offered a deal, but the talk is more of what to do with him if they sign him and not any real concrete plans based on his return being guaranteed. Brian Gewirtz wants Cage on RAW because he enjoys writing for him. Michael Hayes and Edge are pushing for him to be on SmackDown and to put the two back together. The feeling is that he will get a big push coming in but if the initial reaction isn't too good, he will be put on the midcard.
