RAW Talents At SD Next Week?, Skip Sheffield's Return?

– WWE runs a live SmackDown Tuesday night. Most of the major RAW talent will not be on the show, as they will be on their way to Yokohama, Japan.

– In a recent Yahoo article, Pete Rose spoke about WWE, stating the following? "He's a good man. Glen's a great guy. Vince McMahon's a great guy. I did three or four WrestleManias. I have never in my life met a rassler in the WWE, WWE when I was doing it, that wasn't a nice guy, that didn't care about each other. It's the best entertainment around. I'll watch it today. The Rock is back now. John Cena too. He is the nicest guy in the world. And the Big Show, Undertaker, Glenn, Kane is just a great guy. My little grandson loves wrestling. I get him tickets whenever they come to Cincinnati."

– Goldust stated on Twitter that WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes will have an account on the micro-blogging site soon.

– On Skip Sheffield's Facebook page, he was tagged in a photo by a fan who ran into him earlier this month at an auto shop in Florida. The fan says Sheffield told him he will be returning to WWE television under the name Ryback. Sheffield was removed from the RAW Superstars page on WWE.com earlier this week, thus indicating that the character is through. WWE recently applied to trademark Ryback, which suggests that he will be repackaged with a new character upon his return from injury. Prior to assuming the cowboy persona in WWE's developmental system, he appeared as Ryback, an indestructible "Terminator" style character billed from "The Future."
