End Of Cena-Kane Feud, Foley Comments On RR, Sheamus Vs Daniel Bryan, The Great Khali Plans.

In hyping Sheamus’ 2012 Royal Rumble win, WWE is pointing out that Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 27 for the United States Championship was bumped from the card last year. The two ended up going to a No Contest in one of the WrestleMania 27 dark matches. They wrote:

"It was an important victory for the SmackDown Superstar. A year ago, The Celtic Warrior’s WrestleMania XXVI bout against Daniel Bryan was bumped from the card at the last minute. This year, he’ll be competing for a World Title. Don’t expect The Great White to let this opportunity slip through his fingers.”

Talk at last night’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view was that there will be a big payoff angle between Kane and John Cena at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view next month.

Mick Foley wrote the following regarding his appearance at the 2012 WWE Royal Rumble:

"Thanks for such positive RR feedback. I don’t move too quickly these days, but being out there was a great experience! Bedtime plug next!”

Before he returned at last night’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view, there had been rumblings that The Great Khali would be returning for a short program so he may be sticking around through WrestleMania 28.

WWE’s Storyline Update on Zack Ryder – Rushed to Trauma Center

Following the attack from Kane at the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view, WWE posted a storyline update on Zack Ryder. They say that Ryder was rushed to a nearby St. Louis trauma center. WWE’s Dr. Chris Amann said the following:

"The most worrisome aspect of that move [the tombstone piledriver] is a compression force to the cervical spine that does have the potential to fracture several vertebrae and render serious injury.”

"We’ve taken him to the hospital as a precautionary measure, at which point in time we’ll get cervical spine X-rays and most likely a CAT scan to make sure that’s there’s been no significant damage.”

CENA/ORTON-RUMBLE PLANS, CHRISTIAN'S RETURN!

WWE officials also had several scenarios planned out for Randy Orton to win in his hometown of St. Louis.

Christian is reportedly ready to return to the ring but WWE officials decided to keep him off the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

One of the ideas WWE officials were discussing for the Royal Rumble would have seen John Cena enter, win the match and earn a title shot at WrestleMania 28. The storyline would have then saw Cena be forced to choose between a WWE Title match and the match against The Rock.

Mark Henry Injured Again On Smackdown Tapings!

After dropping the World Heavyweight title months earlier than expected at WWE’s December TLC due to a groin injury, Henry was injured once again at Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown tapings from Tuscon, AZ.


Mark Henry is believed to have suffered a hyper-extended knee during his match with the Big Show, which will air tonight on SyFy. Henry, who has dealt with knee problems in the past, threw a punch without properly planting his foot.


A reader who watched the Australian broadcast of SmackDown (which airs a day earlier down under) said it was clear that something went very wrong after Henry collapsed "like he had been shot in the thigh” and immediately exited the ring in pain. They immediately cut to commercial and the match eventually ended in a count out.


According to a script of SmackDown that has been circulating online this week, the original plan was for Daniel Bryan to attack Big Show with a chair. Show was supposed to make a comeback, chokeslam Bryan and leave him laid out. The show would then end with Henry delivering a big splash to Bryan, closing scene being Bryan destroyed in the ring.

Exclusive: New Creative Details & Matches For WrestleMania 28

After speaking to several sources, WWE Spoilers has learned that new talk has surfaced within WWE regarding WrestleMania 28 plans.

Contrary to what has been previously reported, it appears that The Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho and Triple H vs. CM Punk are the two big matches currently being discussed.

WWE is aware that due to online reports, fans have been expecting the tentative plan for Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk at Mania, and while those plans have not been scrapped by any means, officials have discussed a creative shake-up. In addition to the internet motive, there is belief internally that more could have been done in the past between CM Punk and Triple H.

Chris Jericho and The Undertaker also provides a fresh WrestleMania match up compared to a third WrestleMania meeting between Triple H vs. The Undertaker, which as reported, has been on the table for quite some time.

Again, we can't confirm at this time that either of the above matches will take place at WrestleMania 28 but both are being heavily considered. The week of the Royal Rumble is always a big week creatively, and WWE likes to have the major WrestleMania matches in place as much of what happens at the Rumble of course feeds into WrestleMania.

Triple H is scheduled to appear on RAW this Monday conducting the job "evaluation" of John Laurinaitis.

Obviously after the Royal Rumble, plans may and should become clearer. Keep it right here on WWE Zone as we will continue to follow this develping story.
