Mysterio/WWE, Vince McMahon's Return?, Swagger's Future, More

? The only update we have on Rey Mysterio's WWE contract status is that both sides are still negotiating. WWE wants to lock up Mysterio for 5 years while Rey would prefer a 3 year deal.

? There's a feeling in WWE that the Mr. McMahon character is a bit played out and the longer they keep him off TV the better it will be when he does actually return. The current plan was to have Shane and Stephanie's program on RAW lead to Vince's return although that may have changed since then. I'm not sure how long they are going to go with the Shane/Steph storyline as it has changed more than once in recent weeks.

? ECW Superstar Jack Swagger is getting strong reviews for his work at house show events. When he was in developmental, Dusty Rhodes singled out Swagger as the one with the most potential.

? While the UFC has not issued any statements regarding the Pay-Per-View buyrate figure for UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar, the internal word is that the event drew just under 1.1 million PPV buys. This is around what UFC President Dana White predicted and would be considered a big success for the company.
