Backstage News: Lawler's RAW 'Cheat Sheet', Maria's WWE Future

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

– Maria is expected to return to SmackDown! imminently as filming for Celebrity Apprentice wrapped up last week. The ninth installment of the United States version of The Apprentice will premiere next spring on NBC.

– At television this past week, both Jesse Ventura and Jerry Lawler were given graphics on the announcers desk, or cheat sheets, to look at that have the photos of all the wrestlers in multiple person matches. In Lawler's case, he never watches ECW nor Smackdown!. In the case of Ventura for the Breakthrough Battle Royal, he likely wouldn't have known most of the wrestlers in the match, plus with both going live there was no chance to edit later.
