[rybackrules]- While WWE has written Brock Lesnar off television as having “fulfilled his obligations” to the company, Lesnar is expected to be back on television in time for SummerSlam in August. Lesnar’s “Paul Heyman Guy” stablemate CM Punk is also expected back before SummerSlam.
– There has been talk of turning Mark Henry babyface in the coming months. Henry stated on the Extreme Rules post-show that he’s “going home” and will be taking time off.
– As noted in recent reports, WWE superstar Kane has been getting involved in the ongoing political debate regarding the proposed Internet sales tax. There have been rumors that Kane is interested in running for United States Senate when his WWE career is over. Kane was asked about his political aspirations by the Tennessean newspaper and said:
“[I have] no plans on running for political office at this time…..things get a little carried away on the Internet sometimes.”
Of course, “at this time” does not rule out a political run when he eventually retires from the ring.
– The family of “Macho Man” Randy Savage gathered together at an Olive Garden restaurant in Florida on the 2-year anniversary of his passing. Savage’s brother, Lanny Poffo, told TMZ.com:
“I have to be strong for my family now. I’m just glad to have had him as a brother and wanna celebrate his life as much as I can instead of continuing to mourn.”
