- Nikkan Sports and PWInsider.com are reporting that Ultimo Dragon will be returning to WWE in January. The plan was for him to come back without a mask, using his real name Asai, with the storyline that he went back to Japan to find himself, and he's now a warrior. He was recently seen backstage at a RAW event, and he'll be facing former WWE developmental talent (and TNA "Elite Guard" member) Chad Collyer at the 12/12 New Japan Dojo event in Los Angeles.
The over/under on him being under-utilized and stuck on Velocity is about two months.
- Rumors abound that WWE has already signed all of the remaining Tough Enough contestants to developmental deals, or at least have plans to do so once the competition proper is over. Of course, the men involved still have reason to "win" the competition, and therefore a four-year $1 million contract.
Well, now we know why Albert, Test, Palumbo, and the rest were released.
Still, a couple of these guys DO seem like they could be good fits, especially Puder (who I think will ultimately win the whole deal). But I thought Linda Miles (Shaniqua) would do well too, so what the heck.
