– Both John Morrison and Edge are under consideration for heel turns over the next few months. However, the main holdup with Edge turning heel is that babyface side on SmackDown! lacks depth. The Undertaker is out and Rey Mysterio is working while hurt.

– The Miz is receiving high marks from WWE officials for how hard he's worked since becoming WWE Champion. He is being compared to John Cena with the amount of media appearances he's doing, never complaining about the load, not to mention that he performs well on television.
