There has been talk within WWE that former Tag Team Champion Cliff “Domino” Compton is headed back to the company. There’s a feeling that CM Punk has more pull these days and will be in a position to recommend talents that should be signed to developmental or brought back to the company in general.

TRIPLE H TO TURN HEEL AND FEUD WITH CM PUNK?
At one of time, WWE was thinking to turn Triple H heel, and make a feud against CM Punk. However the idea is dropped or still in business yet to be confirmed. Due to huge fan support of Punk, Triple H can easily turn punk into face and become heel.
WWE WANTED ALBERTO DEL RIO TO BECOME CHAMPION AND GO TO MEXICO
As noted yesterday, WWE overhauled the SummerSlam card on Monday after deciding that their creative plans for CM Punk at the event were “awful.” This caused Alberto Del Rio to be removed from the WWE Title picture once again.
Del Rio is still scheduled to be WWE Champion at some point in the near future. Those close to the booking situation indicate that John Cena vs. Del Rio for the belt is planned for September but that could always change.
Part of the reason WWE wanted Del Rio as WWE Champion at SummerSlam is because of the Los Angeles market and the hope that they would draw from the Latin community. There was also a long-term plan of Del Rio being champion when WWE returns to Mexico in October with the idea that the would be the first Mexican to hold a WWE Title in Mexico while they were taping TV there for the first time. Del Rio going back to Mexico as WWE Champion is seen as a way to broaden the fan base in what is currently the company’s strongest market.

VINCE MCMAHON BREAKING POLICY FOR CM PUNK'S RETURN
It was noted that CM Punk got Vince McMahon to do something he has had a policy against doing in most cases – pay royalty rights to use popular songs instead of WWE-created music, as Punk used Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” on Monday’s RAW.
