WWE Daily Dose – February 13th, 2007
WWE has dropped the 4-way Tag Team Ladder Match from the No Way Out card, opting instead for a regular tag team match with Deuce and Domino facing Paul London and Brian Kendrick. I am completely surprised by this move as the other match was really the biggest draw of all the matches so it seems crazy to drop it. If WWE was planning this match shame on them for hyping fans up about the other one only to disappoint with a regular tag match.
Test has been suspended for 30 days for violating WWE’s wellness policy. Pro Wrestling Blog indicates this is only for house shows and he may still participate on TV. If he does appear on TV he is highly unlikely to receive much, if any, push because management is probably not happy about the situation. ECW has truly been reforming over the past few weeks, largely because of Wrestling Society X performing so well. CM Punk has been absent from ECW which may indicate he is moving shows.
Vito will no longer be on SmackDown for the time being and is instead the Deep South Wrestling champ according to the Wrestling Observer. What’s better is that his dress gimmick has been dropped (insert sigh of relief) and he will be taking on a new gimmick. I doubt anyone liked the dress gimmick and the move was more of a sign of a failed gimmick rather than a move against him personally for his performance.
Rey Mysterio, set to return to SmackDown in two weeks will not be wrestling until summer according to Jim Ross. Obviously this dashes hopes that he would be back in the ring before Wrestlemania 23. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him still involved on the PPV, perhaps in an enforcer-type role.
