Sytch's attorney, Rob Serafinowicz stated that, "Sytch had permission from the court" to have discussions with Darling, due to the fact that they were trying to repair their relationship.

There has been a lot of speculation on Chris Jericho's WrestleMania opponent following his return to WWE last night at the Royal Rumble.
Word is that Jericho may feud with Dolph Ziggler up to the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, and then turn heel. Once Jericho turns heel, he may feud with Ryback, which will include a WrestleMania match.
Keep in mind this is only a RUMOR for now and should be taken with a grain of salt. More as we get it. -

Booker T is set to make a major announcement on SmackDown this week about the future of Alberto Del Rio’s World Title. Dolph Ziggler teased “unifying” the WWE and World title at WrestleMania during the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. No word on if that has anything to do with Booker T’s announcement.

I was thinking this, that he gets his WHC shot and wins, goes on to WM29 and cashes in on Cena after his match w Rock and has both belts, then unifies them to debut the new belt.

LAS VEGAS — WWE.com sources now indicate that Mr. McMahon suffered a broken left hip as the result of Brock Lesnar's surprise attack at the conclusion of Monday night's Raw and will have to undergo surgery as a result.
After revealing some damning evidence that exhibited Paul Heyman's connection to both Brad Maddox and The Shield, the WWE Chairman had made up his mind to fire Heyman in front of the entire WWE Universe. But just as Mr. McMahon was about to send Heyman packing with two notorious words, Brock's music reverberated throughout the arena and the hulking behemoth laid out Mr. McMahon with a crushing F-5, which appears to have inflicted serious injury on the WWE Chairman.
It remains to be seen why Brock has returned to WWE after a five-month absence to target Mr. McMahon or what role, if any, Heyman had in such a vicious assault.

This is subject to change, but Lesnar and The Rock are not scheduled for TV tapings on the same day until the final Raw before WrestleMania.
Lesnar's Road to WrestleMania Schedule
-- February 4: Atlanta, Ga. (Rock not advertised)
-- February 25: Dallas, Tex. (Rock not advertised)
-- March 11: Indianapolis, Ind. (Rock not advertised)
-- April 1: Raw in Washington, D.C. (Rock also advertised) -
That's the kind of ? I don't like.
This is the road to WM, how are you going to have your two biggest stars not appear every week?
Especially Rocky, the NEW WWE champion?
Rock has too much control, if he's planned to be the champion, then why the ? is he not there? You can't have him gone a couple weeks and there a couple of weeks.
If this comes out true, then what a horrible schedule we have for the RTWM. -
I just read some ? that said the hold up with taker and WM 29 is that he wants punk to end the steak and then retire but wwe officials ain't with it. I can't post it from my phone though

TBH, I want this ? to happen, just so it ? people off. -

During a recent radio appearance, Dolph Ziggler discussed the Rock's return and how it may benefit him. Here is what he had to say…
"He is back to bring more eyes to WWE than maybe wouldn't have been on them. The whole thing is to get a new audience to cross over and enjoy our show. In the long run, him being in that spot and coming back and giving back to WWE will bring - hopefully - lots of eyes who normally wouldn't see it.
They go, 'Hey, I'm going to watch WrestleMania for The Rock. Oh, Dolph Ziggler stole the show. I'm going to watch next Monday when Rock isn't around.'
"We used to be like, 'Oh, he's in a couple of movies, he's coming back.' But, he's a huge star. It's great for WWE and just another feather in his cap for him." -
As previously reported, Dixie Carter posted to Twitter promising a "major announcement" on Thursday's episode of iMPACT!. The announcement will reportedly be TNA taking iMPACT! on the road this year.
Whether the promotion will still occasionally return to the Impact Zone is unknown as of this writing. The plan is for the company to hold a live episode of iMPACT! and tape the following week's show right afterward, similar to how WWE did things in the early days of RAW. -
When WWE decided to cancel the Intercontinental Cup tournament less than a day after it was promoted on RAW, it was reportedly just the latest example of the booking team changing things up on the fly. This has been happening at ridiculous rates in recent months. At the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, they contacted numerous names, flew them in and when they arrived backstage at the show they were told they weren't going to be used. The decision was made so that Wade Barrett could continue his feud with Bo Dallas.

Vince McMahon's hip problems are said to be legitimate. WWE had Brock Lesnar F5 McMahon at the end of RAW and then ran with the storyline that the chairman suffered a broken pelvis. The storyline was so that Vince could be written off of TV and get the surgery that he needs.
The change also allows Triple H to return as McMahon's replacement, which can then kickstart his renewed feud with Brock Lesnar leading into WrestleMania 29. -
that sneaky ass vinnie mac. reminds me of the limo blowing up storyline. had people believing that had really happened
