— Though The Rock remains committed to making a return appearance on WWE television, there is some concern that he will not be able to do so in January. WWE, especially given the possibility of episodes going head-to-head with live programming from TNA and UFC, wanted Rock to host an episode of RAW in the first month of the year, but there is now a question of whether Rock will be able to extract himself from promotional duties for “The Tooth Fairy.” Production starts on one of his upcoming film projects at the end of January, so the talk now is that if something in early January cannot be worked out, his WWE gig might be delayed until March.
— The angle concerning lockerroom resentment for John Cena, as highlighted in promos from Jesse Ventura and Carlito, has some footing in reality. While the ill will was obviously exaggerated for storyline, a number of wrestlers do reportedly resent Cena’s standing with management, a feeling that is attributed to either envy of his cushy position or disgust for his “company man” attitude, depending on who is asked. Sources say his public airing of grievances with The Rock, regardless of the fact that he was likely reading company-fed lines, did not help his standing with “the boys.”
