Edge To Return Earlier Than Expected?, WWE Cracking Down On The Media

– It appears Canada and the Chicago market have lost WWE Superstars in a decision to pull the shows by WGN. The local WGN station in Chicago had been airing the show on Sunday mornings, but a decision was made to drop it and push it exclusively over to WGN America. WGN America doesn't air in Canada since they used the Chicago feed.

– WWE recently sent out an internal memo regarding talent being scheduled for interviews as they are trying to crack down on wrestling publications getting interviews with WWE stars. They reportedly don't want interviewers knowing "too much about the subject" since they will start to ask uncomfortable questions.

– The latest on Edge is that he could be returning at the Royal Rumble PPV (big surprise) or even shortly afterwards (possibly on RAW even though he is still part of the SmackDown! roster). Just months ago there was hope he would just be ready in time for WrestleMania, but it appears right now that his Achilles injury is healing up well. He is expected to begin a feud with Chris Jericho to play off the angle that went in place where Jericho replaced him with Big Show as his tag team partner/WWE Unified Tag Team Champion. We'll keep you posted here on the website. Stay tuned!
