— Creative plans as of Monday night was for WWE to unify all of its championships within the next year. There would be one World Championship, one Tag Team Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and one Women’s title. It is said that a WWE/World Title Unification Match will take place at next year’s WrestleMania.

— It is said that the chances of Team 3D returning to WWE are slim because Senior Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis in particular hates Brother Ray. While ‘everyone loves D-Von’, but it’s not enough to bring back the duo due to all of Ray’s baggage.

— The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Chris Jericho and Katie Vick trended last night on Twitter during Raw.

To update the news that Team 3D’s contracts with TNA Wrestling recently expired … We can confirm that Team 3D did not appear at this week’s TNA iMPACT tapings and are not booked for the upcoming No Surrender pay-per-view on September 5th.

The general feeling within TNA is that Team 3D will sign new deals and the company has them penciled in for a match at Bound For Glory in October.

Regarding a WWE return, there have been people within WWE trying to get The Dudleys to return. A “Best of” DVD package for the tag team has been discussed as one of the “bargaining chips” that could be used to lure them in, but a return to WWE is just talk at this point and nothing anyone with power has made a call on.

– Don’t expect to see Hulk Hogan back in the ring any time soon. In recent comments made to prowrestling.net, Eric Bischoff gave an update on the condition of Hulk Hogan’s health following recent back surgeyr.  “I don’t know for sure,” Bischoff said. “I don’t even ask him anymore because I know what his reaction would be. He’d say he’s feeling perfect.” Bischoff said Hogan feels that if he verbalizes something positively, it will come true, which is why he takes that approach with his back. When asked whether Hogan’s in-ring career is over, Bischoff said, “I don’t see him wrestling again. I’d be disappointed and there would probably be a physical moment backstage because I would try to stop him.”
