According to F4Wonline.com , plans as of this week have Cena returning at the December 13th WWE TLC pay-per-view from Cena's hometown of Boston. The idea is to have Cena face WWE United States Champion Alberto Del Rio in his rematch from Hell In a Cell. Cena will obviously get the big reaction as the show is in Boston.

Previously the WWE was planning on late December for a possible Cena return since his vacation and/or tv show taping would have been done.

I've heard a lot of rumors about WWE not signing Tough Enough competitor Giorgia "GiGi" Piscina. The rumors said GiGi was one of the competitors WWE wanted to sign but something negative was discovered from her past, possibly brought to WWE's attention by another prospective talent. One WWE NXT source believed whatever it was wasn't that bad and that GiGi should have been signed.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter confirmed some of those rumors today, noting that GiGi would have been signed but something "very troubling" about her past came up. Meltzer wrote on the Observer message board:
"Gigi would have been signed but something very troubling about her past came up. It was really big but I don't know what it was. But it was like hands off pretend she was never here."
There's no confirmation on what came up but we will keep you updated. Before being on Tough Enough, GiGi worked as a bikini model and graphic designer in Australia.

Rumor that got debunked recently was her doing some escort type stuff in the past that wasn't caught when the WWE was doing background screenings for Tough Enough. Turns out that was Gabi instead which is why she also wasn't hired recently.

It looks like WWE may be bringing back Nick “Eugene” Dinsmore in some capacity soon, according to PWInsider. There has been communication between the two sides recently but we don’t know if they’re talking about a talent job or another stint as a coach at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. Dinsmore worked as a coach for about a year before being released in October 2014.
It was reported in September of this year that Dinsmore was working on launching his own indie promotion and wrestling school in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Dinsmore was considered to be a good trainer and was well liked by everyone when he was released last year. At the time, there was a theory going around that Dinsmore may have ended up on the wrong side of someone politically. He commented to AngryMarks.com last year shortly after his release:
“I’ve been with NXT for the past year and its been a phenomenal experience. I’ve grown as a coach, as a performer, as a business man, it was a great experience. I just wasn’t the right fit for this time, and I understand that but ‘never say never’ brother because I’ve been back to WWE three times so you never know that’s gonna happen in the future.”
He was also asked if politics played a role:
“Honestly I don’t know. I didn’t do anything I felt on my part to get fired, but that’s the way big business goes sometimes – sometimes you just don’t get an answer. There was no ill will, I didn’t burn a bridge, I didn’t do anything wrong so – I’m actually happy just to be able to get out and start performing again and make a splash on the independent scene.”
