Edge will come back at Royal Rumble

- World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar Brian Kendrick as of today, July 30, 2009. WWE wishes Brian the best in all future endeavors.

- The current idea with the storyline between Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov on ECW is to make them a team and tag title contenders to Chris Jericho and Big Show.

-- Big Show's new ring attire is designed to make him look thinner and more athletic in the ring.

-- The WWE creative team is currently working under the impression that Edge will be out for the remainder of 2009. The best case scenario is said to be that he’ll be ready to return at Royal Rumble and build a feud with Chris Jericho for WrestleMania 26.

-- - In light of the news of Maryse needing surgery to repair a recurring knee injury, there was talk on Monday of turning one of the face Divas heel, with the mostly likely person being Gail Kim. It definitely appears she will be given the nod as there was a subtle hint in the Divas match on Monday as Kim tagged herself in to win the match just as James was getting ready to win the match for her team.

- The buzz at RAW last night in Washington, DC was that Shawn Michaels will make his return to the ring at SummerSlam and as speculated before, may be on RAW next week. More new promotional material for the pay-per-view just released is still featuring Shawn, for what it's worth.

But, following up on the Vince McMahon-Donald Trump pull-apart, WWE teased a future of heated encounters for the two tycoons.In a press release announcing Donald Trump's fictional sale and subsequent "firing," WWE noted that while "Trump is no longer the 'owner' of Monday Night Raw, this may not be the end of the feud between these two world class promoters."After selling Monday Night RAW to Donald Trump in a storyline on last week's show, Vince McMahon "bought" the brand back, at double Trump's cost, on Monday's show.-
- F4WOnline.com reports that Matt Hardy suffered an abdominal muscle injury--presumably a tear--during last night's Superstars match taping. He is slated to undergo surgery later this week.
-- WWE's 2009 Survivor Series pay-per-view has reportedly been booked for Washington, DC and there is already talk that Batista may be returning there. DC is Batista's hometown.
-- As noted before, Rey Mysterio and other WWE talents have been voicing concerns with their pay as of late. There was talk at last night's RAW about wrestlers being upset that WWE would do something like give away a $235,000 gate just to get Donald Trump over as a babyface in a storyline that ended before it began.
- John Cena appeared on Bubba The Love Sponge's radio show earlier today and confirmed he is getting married to his high school sweetheart soon. Cena also noted that he's looking over more movie scripts and hopes to start filming something this fall. He said the audience is changing because of WWE's switch to PG ratings and said he wants to film a PG movie so all his fans can see it. Cena also noted how The Undertaker runs the locker room.
- Announced for this Thursday's WWE Superstars on WGN America is a Triple Threat for the WWE United States Championship with Kofi Kingston vs. MVP vs. Matt Hardy.
- Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio will face Edge and WWE Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho in a "Rage in the Cage" match on this week's episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
- It looks like the Santina Marella character is done as Donald Trump "fired" it on RAW tonight. Still with Vince McMahon buying RAW back, I guess he could bring Santina back.
