– The September issue of WWE Magazine is teasing that the company’s new COO Triple H will be returning to the ring at Night of Champions:
“Triple H has not contested a match in a WWE ring since he nearly ended The Undertaker’s winning streak at WrestleMania XXVII. So what better time for The Game to jump-start his 2011 season than at Night Of Champions this September? After all, he currently holds the WWE record with 13 World Championships and 23 total title reigns during his career. Other than the recently retired Edge, no other Superstar has ever worn that much gold around his waist. A title opportunity at NOC would bring The King of Kings one-step closer to becoming the greatest champion in WWE history.”
– Also in the new WWE Magazine, it’s reported that Rey Mysterio will be debuting a new hooded mask soon – one that was designed by the winner of WWE Kids magazine’s annual “Design Rey’s Mask” contest.
– As we’ve been reporting in recent weeks, there has been strong consideration in WWE about not bringing Sin Cara back to television once his 30-day suspension due to a Wellness Policy violation is up. WWE is promoting Sin Cara’s return to television on Friday’s episode of SmackDown, which tapes Tuesday night – which is prior to the date when his suspension will be lifted. News broke over the weekend that WWE is going to pull a “Doink The Clown” on us – as the character of Sin Cara might be portrayed by another person other than Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde (formerly Mistico).
At this time, WWE developmental talent Hunico is the most likely candidate to wrestle as Sin Cara when the character returns to television this week at Tuesday’s SmackDown taping. According to a source in WWE, a few other developmental stars have been considered for the Sin Cara character while Luis Alvirde serves out the remainder of his suspension.
