NEW GUEST HOST FOR RAW, HHH WORKING INJURED, GOLDUST ON SMACKDOWN

Contrary to speculation that WWE would be ending the RAW Guest Host angle after Steve Austin hosts on March 15th, WWE.com has announced that MLB great and WWE Hall of Famer Pete Rose will host RAW on March 22.

 Goldust is now a member of the SmackDown roster, after the end of ECW. Goldust will be facing Chris Jericho on tonight’s Superstars and should be added to the roster page soon.

Triple H is reportedly dealing with minor pain in his quadriceps, although he is not expected to miss any ring time for the time being. However, there is a chance he’ll need to get the ailment taken care of over the summer 

IDEAS FOR NXT

While WWE revealed a few more details regarding the format of NXT on last night’s show, they have still yet to make an official mention of what the winner of season one receives.

There have been several ideas thrown around such as the first place guy getting a RAW deal and the second place guy getting a SmackDown spot but that idea didn’t come across too well. There is talk also of having something along the lines of two winners, putting them on each brand as a way of not burying one of the brands.

UPDATE ON MARIA'S DEPARTURE

Maria’s departure from WWE came after the two sides could not agree on control over her career. Maria said that WWE also wanted her to sign on to some things she wasn’t interested in. She is confirmed for the next WWE video game so she will still get royalty checks from the game. What’s interesting about Maria’s release is that her 90-day non-compete clause will end right around the finale for Celebrity Apprentice, meaning she could go right to TNA TV if she wins the show.
