? In an update on Shawn Michaels and WWE, he has told friends he's enjoying retirement. He has yet to show any signs indicating he is yearning to return to the ring, or television for that matter.
? Batista had originally agreed to work WWE live events until late June but when he suffered the back and tailbone injuries at the Over the Limit pay-per-view, the decision was made to have finish up on last Monday's RAW. Most everyone in the company is under the impression that he will be back soon, likely in time for WrestleMania 27.
? As noted earlier here on the website, Lisa Marie Varon (a/k/a Tara; formerly known as Victoria in WWE) is expected to speak with WWE officials shortly regarding a potential return to the company now that her contract with TNA has expired. Friends of Varon say it's possible she'll return to TNA should WWE not make her a better contract offer as she's on good terms with TNA management again.
