Update On Rey Mysterio's WWE Status, Indie Wrestler Starting With WWE Soon, Hulk Hogan
- As noted, Rey Mysterio is currently on vacation with his family in Hawaii. He was given time off again due to more issues with his knee. Rey is said to be on a very limited schedule at this point as WWE transitions him into an ambassador role.
- NWA Anarchy wrestler Steven Walters will be starting with WWE developmental soon. He had his last match with his home promotion this past weekend.
- As noted, Hulk Hogan is booked for the May 20th WWE SmackDown tapings in London. This is likely because the SmackDown tapings overseas have had trouble with attendance when WWE runs the same building two nights in a row. The Undertaker was booked for last year's SmackDown tapings.
