Incase you were wondering, Christian Cage’s contract with TNA has officially expired

doubt he will be on RAW, but why didn't TNA use him for the few weeks he was still under contract?

Why doubt he will be on RAW?

Who are the main event faces on RAW? Ceeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnaaaaa, who else?

he is needed on RAW

Also why didn't they use him????????? well the basically didn't want to promote him so when he leaves if he did go, then they would basically be sending him to the E with a big profile

Personally, I would have used him, have him in the feast or fired match then if he wasn't going to sign simply give him the fired breifcase, that would have taken away any 'shock' of him turning up in the WWE, it would also make TNA look serious about that match to marks, something all feds want, and it would look like Cage is only back with the E because he was fired from TNA

Because I imagine he will have some storyline with edge and maybe Kizarny because they are all real life friends, and obviously Edge and Christians history.

The word you have chosen there is a good reason why it might not happen

OBVIOUSLY

It seems like a logical step, but so too would be going against Jericho, someone else he is friendly with and has big history with, also there is the possibility of a big promo jam with Cena, which would be memorible, Orton and of course Shawn Michaels, that has potential to be match of the year

The WWE have been trying for a while now not to be obvious, its been to the detriment of the company at times, because they changed the Kane storyline so much in the summer because they didn't want it to be obvious

Fair enough mate, didn't think about it like that.

Your way is probably a better way of looking at it, I tend to think to much

Gaffer your way of thinking is normally better than the obvious

I dont recon he'll come this monday, i think they will probably promo a returning star or something along those lines for a few weeks, or screw someone out of a rumble win, something that will be a bit more noticed

potential spoiler regarding cages return to wwe

Spoiler:

This is how I would book his return at the Royal Rumble

After a brutal match where Edge is out of it Jeff Hardy hits the swanton, the referee would be out (obviously) and Cage would appear from nowhere, absolutely nowhere, he would get in the ring and back-stab Hardy, do a few moves on him then hit the Unprettier on Hardy, he would then throw Edge over him as the referee conveniently recovers and just in time for the 123

Edge looks shocked, he doesn't know how he won or even if he has won, when he is given the title he does every kind of facial expression that only he can do, he notices Cage swagger backwards to the curtain with a big grin on his face, that smug smirk that Cage perfected, Edge is absolutely astonished, Christian is back and Edge is once again a World Champion!

Later on in the night after Cage and Edge have done a backstage promo and obviously delighted Cage revealed that he took out Hardy before the Survivor Series and he did it because he knew his pal was back and ready to return, so he did it to get him involved in the title match

As the Rumble draws to a close, there is only two left, HBK and Triple H.

JBL would come out to ringside with Christian Cage, it makes sense, JBL will take Shawns title shot and use it on RAW and it would also stop HHH from getting his shot at Edges title, its basically three on one, Cage stalks Hunter who is exhausted, JBL orders Michaels to help Cage, when HBK approaches Cage turns round and nails him, hits him with the unprettier then hands him over to Triple H who pedigrees Shawn before tossing him out, at the end Cage and Triple H hug and celebrate together, it was all a plan, they wanted Edge as champion because with the inside knowledge from Cage they believe it will be easier to win the title from him rather than Hardy who has beat Trips a few times in the last year

I am not sure if then Cage would admit he didn't attack Hardy but it was indeed Triple H

Anyway in doing this it would turn Edge face, it would give SD two new big name heels in Cage and Triple H and also form a potentially great partnership between the two

All that should pretty much set up a Jeff Hardy Christian Cage fued for the next couple months in the lead up to WrestleMania.

Also with the interference there could possibly be a Shawn v Triple H match at No Way Out to determine who should be given the title shot at Mania since HHH had outside help from someone who was not signed with the WWE (kayfabe)

No Way Out potential line up

WHC title match
John Cena v Randy Orton

WWE Title Match
Edge v Jeff Hardy rematch

Determine who gets the WM Title shot
Shawn Michaels v Triple H

Non Title Match
Christian Cage v Matt Hardy

(If Orton is to win the strap at Mania I can see Cena being allowed to go over him first)
(Also Edge would be a face by this time)

latest on Cages situation

WARNING......................It's Meltzer who is reporting this!

According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, there is a new angle being inserted into Friday's edition of WWE Smackdown. The angle is that Jeff Hardy and his fiancée Beth were injured in a hit and run automobile accident in Cameron, NC, with Christian most likely being the perpetrator. Early word for the angle is that Jeff will be fine, but that Beth will be seriously injured, in terms of the storyline. The angle is said to be somewhat of a surprise, considering that Beth has wanted to stay out of the spotlight.

Who the hell's beth?

Jeffs mrs, his real bird not some kayfabe one

if true, vince is really giong for the "is it realy real" type approach.

shame he wont be able to put out some fake news on the real news, as im pretty sure everyone in carolina would be like, "when where, SHOW ME" as atleast when they did over the top stories they usually happened within the arena area for a show

It wont matter though, like when the claimed Orton came off his bike, all it got was bad publicity because there was no record of it, then the Hardy incident which made mainstream news, all they got was bad publicity from it because of who it was and the history of guys in hotel rooms dying alone at a youngish age.

it could be like the gun incident with Austin and Pillman, it made big news with the fans even if it didn't reach mainstream news that was in one of there houses, think it was Pillmans cant remember

simple solution anyway wwe.com exclusive news.

they are pushing that shit so hard its a good smoke screen.

why go anywhere else if they have the news officialy reported on wwe.com

god its been time since a really big story, the ones that you know arent real but you just want to believe if its done well.

I don't like them reporting stuff on wwe.com

I think its very cheap, thats the place where they reported Eddie and Beniots deaths, it needs to remain a place where you can believe certain angles, Jeff Hardy is a guy who could go either way in his life, what happens if he does screw up or OD again, wwe.com will be reporting it and no one will take it seriously because its only wwe.com

There should be a 'newz' section which is totally character related storylines and a 'news' section which deals and reports proper issues

Exclusive Report: Christian Backstage At RAW (Rumor)
I have received two reports that Christian is backstage
at RAW today. He arrived in a rental car with what appeared to be Val Venis and waved to those standing outside the arena who called his name.

This would make sense as Christian
was expected to start with WWE after the holidays. Christian will be a permanent fixture on the SmackDown! brand and will be involved in a major main event angle with Jeff Hardy.

Gail Kim (also set to return on SD!) has been traveling with WWE
for weeks now but has not made her return.

Do not expect Christian to appear on RAW tonight. I am also still working to confirm these two reports.

Not got a clue where this is from though, someone just posted it on the BBC just before shutting time

looking around the spoiler sites for it just now

the fucking beast was a call of glee, was just hoping tna hadnt removed it for a piss take, but its bound to be dnoe now.

think back to the article on 606 i did saying christian was definatly coming back finally its turned from a piss take to reality (hopefully)

I think people may be suprised by how many go nuts (if its the right crowd) he was one of TNAs biggest stars, this will be a massive win for vince one that almost garentees he will be utilized to full extent

If he returns his return will well overshadow anything Jericho got, which is more of joke on the actual fans than the wrestler himself

If he comes though, I can see a massive pop, that to me would suggest they need to have him face.

There is a severe lack of faces in the WWE on RAW at the minute, top faces anyway, there is more of a balance on SD now that Umaga is fit again

Only Cena on RAW with HBK having to do the heel thing at present
