- The Miz is currently in Brazil doing promotional work for WWE's upcoming tour there.
- There was said to be a lot of "on the fly" booking at Sunday's WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view and Monday's RAW Supershow.
- Tyson Kidd wrote on Twitter that he has named his new submission finisher The Dungeon Lock, paying homage to his roots and The Hart Family Dungeon. The move looks like a mix between Hell's Gate and The Sharpshooter.
Speaking of Kidd, he and Justin Gabriel's tag team will be featured on WWE TV when Gabriel returns from injury later this month
-- As previously reported, Paul Heyman will be heading to WWE headquarters soon to work on the new CM Punk DVD. Last year, Heyman was interviewed for Steve Austin's most recent DVD set. Both Steve Austin and CM Punk personally requested that Heyman be involved in their projects.
-- Sin Cara will be returning to action on WWE's upcoming tour of Mexico. An announcement was made on on the April 30th episode of RAW that aired in Mexico. During a recent media interview promoting his return, Sin Cara said he expects things to go a lot better for him in WWE this time around.
Sin Cara specifically mentioned that he's used to working the "right side" of the body (as they do in Mexico, but not in WWE) - and he's now much more comfortable working the WWE style.
Edge's WWE Contract Status, Michael Cole's Role As Heel Announcer

-- Edge’s WWE contract expired on April 30th and he has not signed a new deal with the company. When he made a surprise appearance on RAW several weeks ago and gave John Cena a pep talk, he was there to meet with WWE officials, but nothing came of it.
He was forced to pull out of a scheduled appearance for Billy Corgan’s Resistance Pro Wrestling show on 5/11 because of his filming schedule for Syfy's “Haven” show, but he did promise to appear at a future RPW show.
-- Michael Cole's heel announcer gimmick was supposed to officially end at WrestleMania 28. His new role is to be an "edgy" character who still respects John Laurinaitis, one of WWE's top heels. A recent sign of Cole retreating from being an annoying heel and shifting to a more neutral role was that he was sympathetic towards John Cena during his feud with Brock Lesnar.
