Major Backstage Changes, 'Taker's Return, Laurinaitis Ticked

? SmackDown wrestler Shad Gaspard was on hand for Comic-Con yesterday in San Diego. He wrote a blog on his MySpace account noting a movie he might be in called Dead And Gone.

? According to one source, head SmackDown writer Michael Hayes has a reputation for changing house show lineups for the sake of changing them. Similarly, fellow writer Brian Gewirtz doesn't enjoy putting together the lineups for Raw brand house shows, so he's handed off the duty to Ed Koskey, although he signs off on them. All of the tweaks to house show lineups reportedly upset Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis. It is his responsibility to put together house show cards, but he has been forced to work in conjunction with the creative team.

? At this point, it is highly unlikely that Undertaker will be returning in time for SummerSlam. The current target date for his return is the September pay-per-view on the 13th, Breaking Point. Likewise, Shawn Michaels is expected to return at SummerSlam.
