McCool Heel Turn, Hardy's Injury, Umaga's Return, WEW Universe?

WWE has plans for the Divas Champion Michelle McCool to make a full-fledged heel turn. They started last night in Albany, NY at the double SmackDown! taping.

ECW Champion Matt Hardy told The Post and Courier last week that he re-signed with WWE. Hardy also talked about hyperextending his previously surgically repaired left knee during an ECW title match with Finlay. "I hyperextended it and tore ligaments in the back of it midway through the European tour," Hardy said. "I had to wrestle on television a couple times after that, but what do you do? You wrap it up and go. But I'm pretty good at being responsible whenever I do get injured, and I do what I need to do as far as icing and heating and giving it the treatment it needs." Hardy saw a chiropractor a few days for the Survivor Series. "It's going to be fine. I was lucky. I had three or four days to kind of heel and rehab it. It's one of those things. It comes with the territory."

Umaga was brought to the television tapings this past week, but wasn't used. He was at the TV tapings in Albany, NY yesterday as we exclusively reported here on the site. Upon his return to WWE, Umaga will remain on the SmackDown brand and is expected to be involved in Undertaker's next program. Umaga has been out of action since suffering a torn PCL at a SmackDown live event in Johnson City, TN on August 2, 2008 during a match with Jeff Hardy.

The title track from the new Guns-n-Roses album Chinese Democracy is the official theme of the Armageddon pay-per-view, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, December 14. WWE has a note on the partnership at WWE.com.

During the second hour of Monday's Raw (right before the DX merchandise skit with Kelly Kelly), they put up a screen grab of the front page of WWE.com. In the caption for Cena's win at Survivor Series, the phrase 'WWE Universe' was misspelled as 'WEW Universe'. You can see a screencap of the miscue at https://pic-share.info/i3/wew-universe.jpg
