BIG STORYLINE PLANNED FOR BATISTA

The finish of the John Cena vs. Batista match last night at Extreme Rules was not a big blow-off for Batista because he is going to be working for WWE for a few more weeks, likely through the Over The Limit pay-per-view. A big storyline will likely happen then to write Batista’s character out, for now.

SPECULATION ON MYSTERIOS ATTACKER LAST NIGHT AT EXTREME RULES

There is some speculation going around as to who the attacker from under the ring was at last night’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view during the Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk match.

Joey Mercury was planned to join the Straight Edge Society and by the look he had at last week’s SmackDown tapings, it was him who did the run-in last night. Reports are coming in now that the attacker was WWE developmental star Alex Riley, who briefly appeared on WWE TV last year. To further this rumor, Riley was confirmed to be at the pay-per-view last night and took photos with fans after the show.

Whether it be Mercury or Riley, we should find out for sure at tonight’s WWE Draft or tomorrow night’s SmackDown tapings.
