A number of updates are available on these breaking stories.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; As of press time, WWE had not made a final decision regarding the WWE Championship.  It is almost definite that Batista will be stripped of the title, although WWE&#8217;s specific plan has not yet been decided.  There was talk of running a title tournament next week on RAW, although with the other two major titles (ECW, World) slated for defenses, there is an internal feeling that holding a full-fledged tournament might be overkill.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Regarding Batista, while his injury should keep him out of action for about four months, there has been some talk of keeping him off television until early next year; in time for a return at the Royal Rumble.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;margin-right:5px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=\\batista wwe&#038;iid=2558890\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/1\/6\/9\/2\/de.jpg?adImageId=1526307&#038;imageId=2558890\" width=\"320\" height=\"242\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"WWE Smackdown Sydney Press Conference\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&#8212;
