WWE 'News and Notes' Thread

[DB]

Thought I would bump this to keep all wwe related news in.... rather than open a new thread for every news story.

PWInsider.com reports on Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker and when they are looking to return.

- There is still no official word in on when Shawn Michaels will be returning to WWE television. HBK was pretty banged up after his WrestleMania 25 match and was given a lengthy period of time to spend at home recovering and recharging his batteries. Michaels said to the company that he wanted an extended period of time off television to spend with his family. Obviously WWE executives hope to have "The Showstoppa" back sooner than later, although again, no official word is in on when he'll be showing back up.

- The Undertaker is apparently working out very hard to prepare for his upcoming WWE return. The company hopes to have "The Dead Man" back in time for a top match at the "SummerSlam" pay-per view. Undertaker's surgery was a success but he is still said to be banged up pretty good overall. He's reportedly pushing hard to get back in shape and hopes to perform at a high level for WWE.

WWE Signs Tyler Black
Posted by Chris Lansdell on 08.08.2010

ROH champion jumps ship...

- Multiple sources within WWE are saying that the company has signed reigning ROH World champ Tyler Black. Indications are that Black will be starting with the company in September. It is believed that he has signed a developmental deal, though that's not confirmed right now.

Black has been the champion since February this year. He has several title defences scheduled between now and September, including one against Roderick Strong on September 11 at the Glory by Honor i-PPV.

When contacted about the rumour, ROH owner Cary Silkin had no comment.
