— The latest edition of Figure 4 Weekly says that LeBron James is “penciled in” to host “RAW in Cleveland in a few weeks.” While it can be confirmed that James is expected to host in the very near future (he was listed as one of the “definite” hosts in the recent Variety report, and the plan is for him to do it before basketball season kicks off), this report is again misleading, as there is no Cleveland (or any Ohio) edition of RAW prior to year’s end.
Regarding next week’s host, WWE has not yet confirmed the identify of the host for Monday’s edition of RAW, but numerous names and ideas have been floated around (James is still one of the names under consideration; there has also been talk of the departing Lilian Garcia using an upcoming RAW–perhaps next week–to reveal her replacement). An announcement should be forthcoming.
— Though Brett DiBiase is young, he has a great reputation backstage for being comfortable in the ring and on camera. Described as a “stud” by a source for F4WOnline.com, Brett would obviously be a possible replacement for Ted DiBiase when he turns face and breaks off from Legacy in conjunction with the winter release of “The Marine 2.”
