Reason for the change for TLC, CM Punks return, Samoa Joe and Dean Malenko

- WWE changed the World Title Match at Sunday's Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view because they didn't want to rush any of the other stipulation matches, besides the Divas Tables Tag Team Match.

The feeling was that it would be better for time to merge the Kane vs. Edge and Rey Mysterio vs. Alberto Del Rio matches, especially since Kane is limited in a singles TLC Match.

Reports suggest that both Vince McMahon and Triple H agreed and made the change.

- WWE RAW announcer CM Punk, who is currently on the sidelines nursing a lower back injury, is scheduled to return to action next week. Punk will be wrestling in the main event of several live events for the SmackDown brand, competing in Four Way Cage matches against World Heavyweight champion Kane, Edge and Big Show. There are no plans at this time to move Punk back to SmackDown, the reason he's appearing on this batch of shows is because one of them takes place from his home town of Chicago. He's expected to remain on RAW as an announcer for the foreseeable future.

- Matches for tonight's WWE SmackDown include The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio, Cody Rhodes vs. Chris Masters, Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger vs. Kofi Kingston & Kaval and more tag team action with Vladimir Kozlov & Santino Marella taking on Tyler Reks & Chavo Guerrero. JTG will also debut a new segment tonight called "Str8 Outta Brooklyn."

- It's said that while Samoa Joe has been going through his contract negotiations with TNA, there has been no interest at all from WWE officials about bringing in the former TNA World Champion.

- While there have been different versions going around about what happened to Dean Malenko back in October, his wife Julie confirmed on her Facebook back on October 29th that Dean did have a heart attack that previous Wednesday morning, which would have been October 27th. Some in WWE were denying that Malenko had a heart attack. Malenko had a stent put in after the heart problems and returned to work at the Survivor Series pay-per-view.
