Major Possible WWE Title Spoiler, Heat on Chris Jericho, Zack Ryder

— As has been noted, there was some internal office heat over Chris Jericho’s hosting role on ABC’s “Downfall” game show. According to F4WOnline.com’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, even though Jericho asked for permission to pursue the role, when he actually landed the gig, Vince McMahon was said to be unhappy.

Although many are linking his weak booking on RAW to the supposed backstage heat and the possibility that Jericho will embark on a hiatus when his contract expires in the fall, some feel it also could be a storyline setup for a prominent role in the NXT Invasion angle. Many fans and critics acknowledged that Jericho was conspicuously absent from the RAW stage during the main-event last week, a possible hint that he is working with the NXT rookies.

— Zack Ryder recently suffered a concussion. Sources believe it occurred when he broke Miz’s fall from John Morrison’s powerbomb on RAW.

— The call was recently made to get the World Heavyweight Championship off Jack Swagger in the near future. The title switch might not come at Fatal 4 Way, but plans do seem to indicate that Swagger will not carry the belt for the duration of the summer.
