Gerweck.Net Reports -
- On Smackdown, Batista's chair shots were blatantly hitting the Mat instead of Undertakers back, and as for his first, he didn't even connect with Undertaker. Undertakers back Injury is said to be extremely serious and he may even Drop the title before Wrestlemania More on this as it comes in.
- Matt Hardy "V2" is going to be having a US Championship push after Wrestlemania 23. Management are said to be very happy with his work as of late, and feel he deserves a Championship run.
- Finally, Booker vs Kane was left off this weeks show. Management feel the fued was being over pushed; it is thought to be resuming next week.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter Dave Meltzer
- The plans for Wrestlemania 23 have seemed to change, regarding the Raw main event. Instead of the planned Jericho win, Orton is now looking to be pushed as WWE Champ.
- Carlito or Kennedy are also favored to win the MITB match. Jeff Hardy was the first to volunteer for taking some risky spots in the match, which went over well with management. Hardy is on the good side of management, and alot of the veterans backstage too, as they feel he has done very well to keep clean.
- CM Punk and John Cena are getting very chummy backstage. Both men are becoming really good friends, and are training super hard to put on a spectacular match at Mania 23.
- The search is still on for a lengthy feud for Thomas Adams. Alot of the mid-carders already have plans, and it seems he might even feud with Val Venis, who is also looking to get into the IC Title picture.
- Adams' girlfriend Nattie Neidhart seems to be planted as a long-term womens draw for the WWE. She is booked for a program with Mickie James for all of the upcoming summer.
- Maria is also looking to have improved alot. She is booked to work with Victoria for a little while in the upcoming months.
- It seems as Jericho may not be in WWE for too much longer. He is being offered heaps of movie deals, which he is expected to accept, which will keep him away from wrestling for a few months, at the least.

Hmm its a decent Hall of Fame class. I don't really know about it though. I think when Flair goes in the rest of the Horseman should be in and it should be when Flair retires. Hennig and Vader are worthy but I think there are more deserving. Brody and Liger are probably your best and most logical choices and Im just gonna say no on Bam Bam. I don't mean any disrespect but its only because he is dead. I know people wanted a lot of other people who have died to be inducted into the Hall of Fame right away and then forgot about them next year. Bam Bam will likely be the same. I'm just saying there were probably better choices out there. Otherwise keep it up looking forward to Wrestlemania 23.
