Some backstage beleive that Smackdown! superstar Rikishi may be released from WWE soon. He has been out of action for a while now due to an ankle injury, however many think he is milking the injury and staying out longer than needed. It's also known that many backstage are upset with him for not losing any weight as well. However, he still remains fairly popular with the other guys.
TNA have been busy signing new talent. They've signed Chad Collyer who will likely be a new member of Jeff Jarrett's army. As well as Collyer the company have also signed Ron Niemi from NWA Florida, Shawn "Hotstuff" Hernandez, Petey Williams and Scott D'Amore
TNA has signed Chad Collyer and it is expected that he will be a new member of Jeff Jarrett's army.
- Ron Niemi from NWA Florida has been hired by TNA and is working the gorilla position for the heel entrances at the Impact! tapings thus far.
- Shawn "Hotstuff" Hernandez has also been signed to a TNA deal. Hernandez is said to be a good prospect who has great agility and looks similar to Kurt Angle.
- Petey Williams and Scott D'Amore have also come to terms with TNA.
- Sabu got yelled at by Jerry Jarrett backstage at the Impact! taping this week for missing his flight to the Wednesday PPV as well as complaining to friends about how TNA is using him. Some think that he has either been fired or quit.
- Raven suffered a rib injury during a dark match at the Impact! taping. More details on the injury aren't available yet.
- Goldylocks continues to get heat backstage for not following the unwritten rules of the locker room, such as shaking everyones hand. Most feel that she only talks to her friends and those who she feels can help her rise in the company.
- Word is that executives at the FX Network were very impressed with the debut episode of TNA Impact! and are interested in giving the show a primetime slot on their network. FX and Fox Sports Network are owned by the same company so a move could be possible and could be done rather quickly. TNA's goal is to get a primetime slot.
